I need you prayers so that my husband will become a believer. He occasionally goes to church but his heart isn't in it. I seem to only push him away when I try to bring it up. Also, my siblings need our prayers because they just thinkI'm a little kooky Please pray that the Holy Spirit will give me the words that they will hear and understand. Praise to the LORD Jesus Christ.

Dear hannah123, I went through the same thing with my husband. He thought I lost it.. But God is soooo very Good! I did the same thing ...I was so excited with the freedom and the love that God had for me and yes I tried to push and pull my husband also( it caused a lot of fights)..Follow in how Christ did ..by love.. and prayer.. the enemy will find just about anything to get your marriage to suffer. Allow your actions to show Gods love and allow your voice to speak tenderly(even when you feel like giving up)ask the Holy Spirit for guidance on when to speak and when to keep your mouth closed and to go somewhere and to pray..By your actions you will lead him..
Blessing and Hugs ,Born Again

Hannah, The Lord touched my husband ten years before He came for me.:) It had to be a tough time for him with an unbeleiving wife. He prayed over me while I was sleeping and one morning I woke up saw him doing this and felt so loved. Of course it didn't hurt anything to watch the change in him as the fruits of the Spirit were growing in his life. I saw depression leave him. I saw joy in all situations that he faced. You are now a witness for the Lord in your home and I know it will not be ten years for you.:) Allow the Almighty to work in your marriage. I pray that the burden of love you carry for family and friends will be revealed through His peace that surpasses all understanding.
May your joy be full at what you have now. May you be assured that Jesus wants to give you your hearts desire... IJN I ask that as we come boldly to Our Father's throne HE will send his ministering angels to watch over the lives of those you cherish and draw them unto Himself with the wonders of His Presence. May He reveal Himself to those you love in His way. And, may the Glory go to Him for the love he gives.

Dear Laura;
Thank you for your kind words. It helps to know that there are many who have undergone the same situation as me. I have told my husband that I (and the GFF Church) are praying for him. He does not respond when I speak this way, but, the LORD willing, he will. Thank you and may the LORD bless you and keep you

Thank you for your email, Colleen;
My husband tolerates my born-again-ness (?) :) but he doesn't want me to talk about it with him. The thing is, he's a really nice person and would be an awesome witness for Christ! I pray that your husband and mine will come to know the LORD. The LORD is faithful and I trust in Him.
IJN.

Dear Hannah123,
I pray that your husband has come to know the Lord, but if he has not yet, I agree with you in prayer right now in the name of Jesus Christ that the Lord will take the veil off his eyes so that he sees the truth. I pray that the Holy Spirit will draw him to God and show him the life that is found in Jesus Christ. I pray that the Lord will arrest him with His love and make him an awesome witness for Christ. I pray this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, AMEN and AMEN.
I am in a similar situation with my friends but I have decided that there is nothing impossible
to God for He specializes in saving people and finding the lost. Therefore, we must keep on praying for the battle is the Lord's and He never loses. Like you said, the Lord is faithful and trust worthy.

Beelzebub; Once, I was a non-believer, like you. When someone would talk to me about the LORD, I would mock them, just as you are doing now. But I was not lost forever, because the lORD touched my heart when I was ready to listen. I pray that the LORD will be gracious to you and open your heart, because I know that you are not a lost cause. If you listen carefully, the LORD will speak to you as well. May that day come soon, Beelzebub, so that you can join us in Heaven. Remember - you have everything to gain, and nothing to lose, by giving yourself to the LORD Jesus, who bought you with His precious redeeming Blood.

Dearfriends;
Thank you for your continued prayer for the salvation of my husband. Today when he called (from Vancouver) I told him I prayed for his safe journey. I told him about the miracles that God performed for little Cherish. I also added that Bill, our brother in Christ, was miraculously healed. For the first time, my husband did not make a mocking remark. In fact, he was very quiet - that meant he's thinking, I expect... I told him we are all praying for him (I didn't tell him exactly what we were praying for, but when he is ready to ask, I will tell him) Perhaps the LORD has chosen these miracles to soften Brian's heart. Please pray very earnestly that he will accept the LORD. This, I feel, is a critical moment. PLEASE PRAY! O LORD, thank You for being so faithful. I know we do not deserve this awesome gift, but I trust in You. LORD, because I believe Your Word. You wish that none should perish, so I lift up Brian to You , LORD, once again, for His Eternal Soul. Mighty God, my heart explodes with love for you and I praise You in the Holy Name of Yeshua, our Saviour and our God. Amen,
----------

Father God, Lord Jesus our Savior. I join my "family" above whose husbands do not know you, Yeshua. Open their hearts and minds to You. Let the sisters live as you want them to so that their husbands see what a difference you make in our lives. Let them be true, loving and caring women for You, Master. Strengthen these sisters, Lord. Let them continue to be a light unto their husbands. Oh, Lord of lords and King of kings! We know you, and only you can open their eyes to you. Yeshua ha Mashiach, we know the love you put in us for the lost. We know, too, Lord that you have made the family. These men, Father God, need to know the Son so they treat their spouses as they would themselves. As your Word states, oh Mighty God, we are to love our wives as our selves. Father, Lord Jesus, I know you see into their hearts. Knock at the door of their hearts, Holy Spirit, open them to the Messiah. Oh, how their marriage will change for the best. True love will cover them like your blood, this I know, for I have been changed by you. I know you can change them, too, my Lord. Let these woman know the joy of having a husband who loves YOU and her with all their heart. In Your Holy Hame, Amen, Bill

Audrey, a good friend of mine was saved before her husband. He continued hosting his buddies for poker, beer and "goodies" every weekend. She never said a word, just served them and kept her mouth shut. One weekend two didn't show. The silence unnerved them, her husband said. She just smiled and kissed him. "It does me, too," he added. "It's this Christian thing ain't [sic] it?" She just kissed him again and went about her business. The next week her husband announced the game was being held at another home, but he wasn't going. About a month later or so, on a Sunday when she got up for church, her husband (now a good friend, too) asked if he could join her. She began to cry. He said he would stay home if it upset her, but she asssured him they were tears of joy. She hugged him and off to church they went. When the pastor gave the altar call he nearly ran up front. I had, as you know, a wife who totally refused the Lord 'til the day she left. I know in my heart that the Lord will open the eyes, mind and heart of your husband to see the Light. I wish I could be there to talk with him. In Yeshua's love,
Bill

Thank you, Bill; I know I must be patient for the LORD will do His perfect will. But it's hard. I see one step forward and two steps back. Satan must really want him! Please continue to pray for his salvation. He is coming with me to Orangeville for my Baptism on May 31st. Maybe...

I know it seems like it's two steps back, Audrey, and satan IS interfering in your marriage. He doesn't want to lose him. Satan also knows, as with my ex-wife, if he keeps this soul it will be a thorn in your side, too. But I know the Holy Spirit is stronger and will open your husband's heart to Him. I pray personally for his conversion. It WILL happen. In the Lord,
Bill

I join my prayer in faith in one accord for the salvation of Brian. May he be a strong warrior and a great witness for Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. I can't wait to see you both. May the Lord keep you safe and may He give you my dear sister in Christ His peace that surpasses all understanding, as Jesus said His peace He leaves you, His peace He gives unto you..
Blessings,

Audrey, I pray with everyone here for your husband's understanding of eternity with God. My humble opinion, I believe the main issue with an unbeliever is their understanding of God. Most unbelievers stay away from God because they misunderstand Him and His character and blame God for the things of Satan. I think man cannot come to God without a true understanding of who God is. 2 Cor 7:10 For godly grief produces a repentance that lead to salvation and brings no regret, but worldly grief produces death. I don't think people can truly come to God without understanding God is love, truth and justice and that Satan is the cause for evil in this world. 1 John 5:19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world is in the power of the evil one. Gal. 3:22 But the scripure consigned all things to sin, that whatwas promised to faith in Jesus Christmight be give to those who believe. Romans 11:32 For God has consigned all men to disobedience, that he may have mercy upon all. As Rod continually reminds us that we are living in a battle zone. The battle is between God/Jesus and Satan and the powers and principalities. God has allowed this world to come with a choice. We choose either God or the things of this world. I pray your husband comes to a true understanding of our loving Heavenly Father soon! My humble opinion,
Mary

I absolutely agree with your assessment of this fallen world. Unfortunately, my husband avoids the conversation, so all I can do now is pray that the Holy Spirit will work on him, and be there for him if he ever has a question or wants to talk. God's Word will not return void, so I have every hope of a happy ending!! Thank you so much, dear sister, for your prayers.

Well after reading all these messages I can see that I am not alone. My husband goes to Church but thats all. He never reads the Bible and when I try to talk to him about it, he listens and then changes the subject. My grown kids think I am a nut, even though they were raised in the Christian faith. I feel like a lone duck and it makes me sad. So God Bless to all of you who are in the same boat, paddling by yourself. May our dear Lord hear our hearts cry and work in the lives of those we love dearly.

Welcome. Bibs62. No indeed, you are not alone. There are many posts here for prayer for unsaved loved ones. You will also find it is Rod's Blog. I invite you to check there also. The Bible says that in living our lives for Christ, the unsaved will see His light in us. I pray that your husband will see the change in you and search for the LORD. Heavenly Father, hear our prayers for salvation of our unsaved families. Bibs62 is heartbroken over her unsaved husband, as we are about ours. Hear our prayer, LORD, and soften the hearts of your children, that they may come to the cross and glorify Your Name. I pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus, Amen.

I pray Lord Jesus in agreement with Audrey that our families and friends whom YOU love more than we do, to come to know YOU. I pray that YOU will give them hearts of flesh so that they would accept the Gospel and receive YOU as LORD. I pray this with confident that it will come to pass because nothing is impossible to YOU and because YOU desire for no one to perish. I pray YOUR Name will be glorified in their lives as YOU live in and through them. I pray this in YOUR HOLY Name, Jesus. Amen! Thank YOU LORD JESUS for hearing our prayers. Thank YOU!!!

I pray that your husband will acknowledge that he is a sinner in need of a Savior, will then repent and put his trust in the SAVIOR, Jesus Christ. Amen
