~Below you will see comments and encouragements that I have received over the last few months from my stander friends. Their thoughts helped me, and I hope that it will encourage you as well. Email me with any thoughts you have, and I will add to this page often! Enjoy & Be Encouraged!!
The Lord has a plan! He has been reminding me lately that His
ways ARE NOT our ways or His thoughts our thoughts. The best way we can get thru this is by allowing Jesus to love us and then allow Him to love our prodigals thru us. ~Nancy
Remember who we are up and fighting against not our mates or the 3rd party......It is satan.....and he wants you and
everyone else to think he is the head boss.....WHICH he is NOT. And we need to start taking and using our Power by the Holy Spirit and go to WAR for our husbands. ~Joy
I know how difficult it is sometimes to not allow all that is us within to
come gushing out. The Bible says "out of the abundance of the heart the
mouth speaketh". That's why it is so important to continue to pray about the
situation, focus on the positive in your husband, and allow the Holy Spirit
to lead you. So many times when presented with the opportunity to talk with
or see my prodigal I wasted it by complaining, sulking, and being miserable.
Now, I count every opportunity I talk with him as a blessing from God and a
chance to allow the love of Christ within me to shine through. Our spouses
will be presuaded by our actions of love, forgiveness and kindness during
times when we want to be angry and upset (and many times we have a right to
be). I know this is not easy but God will not command you to do that which
he has not also provided you with the ability to do. ~Roz
Just think: one day this will all be a memory and a testimony. One day, we will open the door and allow our prodigal to step back inside our home. We know the door is already open, they just have to come to that place of total yieldedness and commitment. In Acts 12:13-14, when the saints were gathered at the home of Mary praying without ceasing for Peter's release from prison, Rhoda was the one who answered the door when Peter was knocking. She was so shocked to actually see him at the door, that she "opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate." Even
though they "had been praying without ceasing unto God for him," Rhoda and the rest of them were shocked when the manifestation of their prayer came forth. Our "Rhoda day" is coming!~Wini
Please know that the reason you're under attack is that your prayers to free your (spouse) from Satan's control are working and the devil is pulling out all the stops to get you off balance, to get your eyes off the Lord and to get you to stop or slow down your praying. Take heart and courage and know that your petitions are being heard by the Father and that He is dispatching His angels to do your bidding (Hebrews 1:last verse) and work in (your spouse's) life and the life of the (3rd party). You can take satisfaction in the knowledge that your prayers are working so well that the devil will resort to using any and every trick in his book to get you to stop praying.~Tim
The Lord spoke to me one day and told me to remember Peter. He saw Jesus out walking on the water. When Jesus told him to "come" with him. Peter believed that it was Jesus. He focused on Jesus and not the circumstances and because of his faith he also walked upon the water. It was only after Peter looked at the circumstances that he fell into the water. But even
then, Jesus helped him back into the boat.
The Lord showed me that he wants me to be like Peter. Don't look at the circumstances, but focus on Him. When I do this, I am resting in His Love and His Peace and it is so awesome!
Trust is the key. Jesus wants to know that we trust him enough to take care of the situation and answer our prayers according to His timing and in His way. I believe He also wants us to remember how very much he loves us. He blesses us for remaining faithful and commited and being women of integrity.

When it comes to speaking life into our situations, I'm convinced that
praying scriptures over our spouses is the key. For standing wives, the
recommendation is to pray 1 Tim 3: 1-? (qualifications for church elders)
over your husbands every day. Louis Gordon says that God is creative and
brings His Word to pass in those for whom we pray. He said that his wife
Carol prayed that passage over him and God changed him in four months.

Remember, you're one flesh. What you see wrong in your spouse may be a similiar thing that's wrong in your life. ~Richard
I found the most healing thing for me to do was to reach out to someone else who needed me. Have a goal you are reaching for this weekend ....have purpose rather than just enduring the 2 or 3 days. I remember how lonely weekends were too and especially holidays.~Jimmie Ruth Matthews (has restored marriage)
One thing the Lord has taught me just recently is to
really TRUST him. I was trying to get our marriage restored on my own and
didn't realize that it really was ME trying. Just a few days ago I REALLY
put the restoration (and salvation for my husband) in Jesus' Hands. He gave
me His peace that passes understanding. As I went through each day, I
thanked the Lord for NOT hearing from my husband. I thanked the Lord that my
husband is with another woman and that God KNOWS that and has the situation
in HIS hands. I thanked the Lord for whatever He is doing because I believe
that He IS doing something! ~Nancy
Just keep standing and praying NO MATTER WHAT and you WILL win. Satan will throw arrows and firey darts, but DO NOT GIVE UP!
Sooner or later he will get tired and realize he won't get this marriage! ~Allison
Get those eyes of your off of your circumstances and back on the healer of marriages. Satan seeks to wear you down and discourage you because he knows what your future is with your husband. He is absolutely terrified of God's plan coming true here because if he doesn't stop you- he knows how many other marriages he will loose because of you. Put on your armour girl-be ready for a fight-this is war!!!!!
Encourage yourself. Write out the scriptures and prayers. Speak them aloud throughout your house. Do battle for your marriage-DON'T JUST SIT BACK AND EXPECT IT TO HAPPEN.~Shari
