Please Pray!

Dear family and friends and readers,

June 24th, 2008. This date is when my father has to go to court. His wife, my stepmother, has filed for divorce. Both have made mistakes in their marriage. My father has acknowledged that he has made a big mistake, has sinned, has apologized, and asked for forgiveness. Sadly, my stepmother has not forgiven him. She is very bitter, angry, and spiteful right now. She proclaims that she has forgiven him. But does not show forth the fruit of forgiveness. My father has changed and is changing. He has accepted Jesus Christ as his personal savior and acknowledges that God's word is truth.

Please pray!

My stepmother's attorney is pushing hard that the 24th date for divorce to be final. Pray that the Lord will do a great work in Melanie's whole being (my stepmother). Pray that she will change and want to reconcile her marriage with my father (Bob). There are also children at stake here. These poor little ones. Only through the power and grace of God will they overcome this.

I know that it is only God that can make this marriage reconcile. Only God, who can heal Melanie's heart and break the stone that surrounds her. Only God can make this a miracle.

Their marriage needs prayer warriors.

Dear Lord, please, for your name's sake, for your power, honor, and great glory, mend this marriage between my father (Bob) and stepmother (Melanie). They need you so, more than any time than this, do a great and mighty power in both of their lives. Bring up support for their marriage, change other people's hearts who may have been against this marriage. Protect them and the children from evil and harm. Lord keep my father strong, patient, kind, loving, and just. Only you can do this. I lay all at your feet. Let your will be done. If it is your will Lord, make them as one again as you did my husband and I. I love you and thank you for all you do and for your protection and grace, for I am so undeserving but know I am yours. In Jesus Christ precious name I pray, Amen.
