Some things just make sense. Does God act upon things if we do not ask? Then why pray? I believe Gods will is that we pray for His will to be done, but He wants us to be specific and not just utter up generalities. Should we just pray the Lords will be done everytime we pray and not ask for what we specifically hope for or need? If God lays something on our hearts after vast time in prayer, we should pray that way. Jesus states that the man was freed from lunacy only came about through prayer and fasting. Not just prayer. Was the lunacy because of sin, or a birth defect? Gods will is that we accept the freewill of His blood offering to wash away our sins. That we Glorify Him. That the Truth sets us free. I have to believe that God wants my husband free from porn and glorifying Him with his gifts whether it is with or without me I have already come to accept. That is a simple enough request. Would it be wrong for me to want my husband free for our childrens sake? Or want him free to safely and intimately celebrate our maritual committment? Or more? Knowing Gods will and how to pray more for someone, comes as we pray. If it were a onetime utterance, persistant prayer would be meaningless. The complication isn't so much what is Gods will, but how to pray specifically. After a period of time in prayer, is it Gods will someone doesn't get help, it isn't God's time yet, we haven't prayed rightly, or is freewill the end result? |

Bandaid, My heart really goes out to you! I am so sorry for your suffering on account of this. Your husband’s struggle is very common among us men and seeing the pain it causes just one wife is motivation for many others to stay pure. I can't offer more than the others Biblically; they have done so well, so I thought I'd tell you what we have done practically. I have bsafeonline (b-safe online) installed on my home and office computer. At the office I do not know the password so when I am alone I have no access. At home the temptation is far less with children around, and our computer is in the family room. I like this software because all others I tried I could “get around” easily, but with all my computer knowledge I have not been able to break this one or get around it. Your husband may not be willing at other places, but for the safety of your children and yourself, you can put something like this (and I recommend this one) on your home computers and retain the password for only yourself. Also, if your husband will not go to marriage counseling, then I'd suggest going alone, but find a really good one. Get references from couples who had success. There are good and not so good counselors just like any other thing. I truly hope you find respite from this suffering. God bless, MJH |

There are many threads on the questions I have asked and responded to. The other question is concerning women divorcing men. Yes, I have had more than enough support in my life for quite a long time concerning all the issues involved. I am in many good hands of support, inspiration and accountability. My husband is not. I am not there. My children are not there. I can do nothing about what he does at this point and wish to know only the best way I can pray for him. He needs much prayer or the struggle he is in will only continue downhill as I have seen the negative progress it has made in just the past 5 years. Please pray and feel for him, he is in great denial, bitterness and a stronghold. |
