Sad Situation that requires prayer
Dear Friends,
My son is getting married this June to a lovely gal, Courtney. Her parents are not believers, although I think they might "think" they are, so I am not going to judge. Courtney's parents have had a disjointed marriage for as long as I have known them. A clear case of "not equally yoked". Well the father announced he wants a divorce. He won't even work on it anymore per the mom. Attorneys are being called and it is becomming a horrible situation. Please pray for the 3 kids (one still lives at home and is a senior in high school), pray for the marriage of my son and Courtney that it can go smoothly and without drama and pray for a miracle in the parents lives. Thank you so much in advance.
Dear Father, I know that you have your eyes on the whole situation and you will be glorified in this somehow. Please give Courtney and her family peace in the eye of this storm. Lift up my future daughter in law and let her lean not on herself, but on you. I thank you for my son who is there by her side and their church family in Chico. Miracles are within your power and I am not so foolish as to tell you what to do, but please Lord, fix this problem. I know that you desire to see both Brad and Leslie know your son Jesus. Let this be the moment of revelation. Amen.
Loving you so much Lord,
Sally
Sally the day we went to church for the first time, we were ready to get a divorce and the Lord saved me that first Sunday at Calvary Chapel of Poway, CA...knowing I had been drunk the night before. He is able more than able to perfect that which concerns you....He pulled me out of a pit and saved my husband three weeks later and our whole family was saved. God used our 15yr. old daughter and her changed life to show us to "try" church...smile.
Will be praying for the Lord to woo as only He can do.
Love in Him WHo Is Love,

Sally, I will be joining in you in prayer for this situation and the lives involved. Divorce can devastate and touches so very many lives along the way. Psalms 51 asread in the message says, "Psalm 51
1-3Generous in love--God, give grace! Huge in mercy--wipe out my bad record.
Scrub away my guilt,
soak out my sins in your laundry.
I know how bad I've been;
my sins are staring me down.
4-6 You're the One I've violated, and you've seen
it all, seen the full extent of my evil.
You have all the facts before you;
whatever you decide about me is fair.
I've been out of step with you for a long time,
in the wrong since before I was born.
What you're after is truth from the inside out.
Enter me, then; conceive a new, true life.
7-15 Soak me in your laundry and I'll come out clean,
scrub me and I'll have a snow-white life.
Tune me in to foot-tapping songs,
set these once-broken bones to dancing.
Don't look too close for blemishes,
give me a clean bill of health.
God, make a fresh start in me,
shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life.
Don't throw me out with the trash,
or fail to breathe holiness in me.
Bring me back from gray exile,
put a fresh wind in my sails!
Give me a job teaching rebels your ways
so the lost can find their way home.
Commute my death sentence, God, my salvation God,
and I'll sing anthems to your life-giving ways.
Unbutton my lips, dear God;
I'll let loose with your praise.
16-17 Going through the motions doesn't please you,
a flawless performance is nothing to you.
I learned God-worship
when my pride was shattered.
Heart-shattered lives ready for love
don't for a moment escape God's notice.
18-19 Make Zion the place you delight in,
repair Jerusalem's broken-down walls.
Then you'll get real worship from us,
acts of worship small and large,
Including all the bulls
they can heave onto your altar!
Lord, that is my prayer, I ask that you work in the lives of this family and that you make a fresh start in them,and that you shape a Genesis week from the chaos of their lives. Amen
Wow, I was just sitting here posting some verses for the weekend and then I saw you pop up in my email. What a blessing and a challenge this prayer is. It is so difficult for us humans to admit our wrongs and that is the biggest stumbling blocks in our relationships. I called my girlfriend just to share this with her. "Genesis Week" that is what I want. Thank you so much.
Love Sally
I understand the concerns here. My husband left me six years ago, when my youngest was a senior in high school. My daughter got married later that year. It was not a fun time for me, though I was able to make the best of it. It has been a rough journey, but God has brought me to a closer relationship with Him as a result of it.
I will be praying for this family, and for your son and his fiancee.
Hugs,
Trish
