Just submitting a prayer request that has been on my heart. My husband has been struggling with several issues that are all tied together in a way, and he's gotten to a point where he's very frustrated because he feels like he's not getting anywhere. Like Paul said, he feels like he does what he does not want and does not do what he wants and no matter how hard he tries to master the fleshly desires he still does what he knows isn't good for him. I try to be supportive but it's really beyond my ability to make him make a change. And I don't necessarily want to change him, he wants to overcome some habits he's had that are destructive to his current well-being. Anyway, prayer for him that God would comfort him in his struggle and give him the power to overcome and make a change for the better would be great. Thank you.

Father in Heaven, we lift this man up to You for help and strength. Please, Father, give him the strength and might to fight Satan's advances upon him away, and the courage to sustain such strength until Satan flees. Bathe him in Your light and Your glory, and keep him daily under Your wing.
I pray this in the Name of Jesus Christ, our Saviour.
Amen.

All good things

It would be wonderful in the long term if you guys could read the Scriptures together daily!

Yeah... that's a common and probably a good suggestion. But currently, that's not the most helpful response. Prayer is powerful. We need prayer right now. Thank you.

Yes, I will pray. Prayer and the Scriptures are a powerful combination, not least in the home; and this is why I referred to Scripture reading.
