Prayer for my wife (she wants to die)

paul becke · Mar 11, 2012

I couldn't stop smoking, 'cold turkey', as some are able to do, but I stopped quite easily by fooling myself. Not hard to do...

I realised that far from relaxing me, smoking put my nerves on edge, as I waited for another cigarette. So, what I did was just kept putting it off 'for a few minutes', telling myself I'd have one then. That relaxed me. And I just kept doing it. It worked every time.

I'm still waiting for that cigarette after almost 40 years. I relapsed once briefly in the early days, but my lungs seemed to object violently. Anyway, I've kept forgetting to take the next one!!! And only remember when I read posts on the subject, such as this. Now, I loathe the very smell of tobaco smoke. You feel so much better after the first few weeks. Best wishes/prayers.

My wife is tired today. She went into the hospital with an asma attack that she has never had before. They gave her treatments for it and we follow up with a doctor tomorrow. Now as to the mental part, they have her on several meds, a weekly med check, and weekly therapy. Now she is also a smoker and she needs to stop smoking. I do not know how hard it is to stop smoking, I do know that it is an addiction. She says she wants to stop but the "will power" is not there.
Now the good news is that she is up, awake, putting together afirmation cards with possitive scripture verses on them that she can pick one and read at a moments notice. She said she is having a hard time trusting God and believing His promises because "why would He allow this suffering?" is how she is thinking. I will keep you updated and thank you very much. Do they make a Bible that is geared towards mental illness, depression, bi-polar, etc? They make a recovery Bible for those with drug and alcohol addictions....I know that much.

keeping Janna and you in my prayers.... thank you for the update... it helps.... praying for wisdom strength healing peace for you and your wife.... GOD BLESS you for all you do for her.... praying for healing/deliverance for the points you mentioned too...
1. athsma
2. smoking
3. depression bipolar
4. will power
5. trusting GOD
6. energy vitality

i don't know if there is a BIBLE geared for depression/bi-polar etc.... but one thing i have noticed is that bi-polar people don't feel loved or valuable or good enough..... they seem to struggle with their self image severely.... so any scripture that is slightly heavy/condeming/fearful/rebuking etc is NOT good for them.... or most of us for that matter.... the "feel good" scriptures really help people who feel depressed or unloved..... usually these feelings of poor self-esteem have been there their whole life..... so "LOVE NEVER FAILS" is a good scripture guideline to follow.... with anyone really...

one thing that makes me feel really good is watching joel osteen on tv.... that guy has taken a lot of flak for his "feel good" preaching.... but i have NEVER heard a preacher like him that CAN make you feel good.... he is soooooo anointed at making people feel loved and wanted and special to GOD.... if you can record his programs and watch them with your wife that might really help both of you.... i am amazed at the affect joel's preaching has on me.....

everyone has gifts and treasures inside them.... and when we water all the good we see in them.... honestly and simply....no big hype or exaggeration.... by telling them the things we appreciate about them.... it helps them..... people with severe dislike for themselves might fight you when you say something good..... so just dial it back a bit to the level that brings a smile on their face.... sometimes the good we see in them they can't receive.... not at first.... but if we keep telling them good things about themselves.... even in an understated way.... like "wow.... i am impressed" to writing out affirmation cards.... or "good to see you" when they are up and about..... or "i love you" when they are feeling poorly.... will help them immensely to GRADUALLY improve their feelings about themselves....

the question about trusting GOD and why does HE allow suffering..... is a really big one.... i will pray some more about that one.....i had to work through that one myself..... i will see what GOD says to say..... but until then i will pray that she be healed in that area of trusting GOD and finding protection and peace and healing from HIM despite how she feels.... in the NT believers brought their sick ones to JESUS and HE healed them all.... so we can all agree in prayer for Janna to be healed.... and join together to take her to JESUS.... until she is well enough to go to JESUS herself.... all things are possible with GOD.... and all HIS promises are YES and AMEN in CHRIST JESUS....

love you both.... praying for you both.... keep us posted on the blessings and the prayer requests.... peace and blessings and provision.... :hug:

Thank you for the prayers and encouragement. My wife thinks Mr. Joel is creepy and fake, so he is out. LOL

The fact is that truth is truth, so we will have to find the method of delivery that she will accept. I know her two love languages....they are quality time and psychical touch. That is one way that I can help her as well.

awesome.... love your attitude.... love your committment to her....

would she be open to you laying your hand on her head or forehead and pronouncing... "be healed spirit mind heart body in JESUS name"..... lovingly and frequently?....

like a daily dose of HOLY SPIRIT medicine for her.... if not when awake then when asleep.... you have authority as her husband over spiritual things in her life.... you can "speak the WORD" over her as part of your quality time together so that GOD'S WORD comes out of your mouth and into her spirit and life....

or if those words / actions aren't acceptable to her then.... stroking her forehead or something and pronouncing her "positive" scripture verses over her?.....

just thinking of ways to get some spiritual power injected into her.... JESUS said that if we lay hands on the sick they SHALL recover....

love you.... you are very precious.... LOVE will win..... GOD is love..... GOD loves you both very much..... and you clearly love your precious wife.....

I pray for her daily, usually when she is going to bed....I lay hands on her and pray for her. I try to do it in a "middle ground" sort of way. You see she has a Baptist background and believes in healing but not all that "showy" stuff you see on TV. To her it is God that heals and there is no need for all that shouting, screaming, and falling out in the spirit. Now me....I have a bad background with "word of faith". I have also come to learn....through much pain and hurt....that God can heal and will heal in His time and not in mine. You see I was born legally blind, have no job, live at home in a bedroom with my wife and 3 year old daughter....in my parents house. I am 36....still legally blind, live on SSI, and have no job.
My point is that I did the "name it and claim it" thing for many years, went to the healing meetings that were 40000 people strong, gave offerings for my healing because the preacher said "the spirit is moving", etc. I have come to learn that God can heal because He wants to....not because I give an offering or "command" anything to leave.
Please, please, please correct me and tell me if I am looking at things the wrong way. I got hurt in my "word of faith" days and because of that I have become more reserved in God. I just want my wife ok and no longer suffering with bi-polar. She does not even want to eat....I am giving her Ensure so she has some liquid food. My wife is taking her meds and she is trying. She asked me to "be her rock".....and I am going to do that. I will be her rock just as Jesus is my rock. It is hard, but if I give up....then nothing can get better.

You have no done anything wrong. ((hugs)). Thank you so much for the great help and prayers. We will take this a day at a time and she has better days then others. Right now we have our local Christian station playing in the background. It is a Christian top40 station. They play music is a little harder than the normal CCM stuff.

the religious nonsense you suffered is not your fault.....
the wisdom you operate by is noticeably solid.....
i agree with the things you are doing....
the HOLY SPIRIT clearly is leading you to do the right things....
GOD heals because HE is love.... and it is a FREE gift that HE paid for.... we don't pay anything to receive healing from HIM....
if you are reserved in outward expression.... you are still noticeably strong and bold in FAITH in GOD and HIS WORD....

i agree with you in prayer for your wife to be ok and no longer suffer with bi-polar.... i agree with you for her to regain the ability/desire to eat....

standing in prayer agreement for you and your wife to see GOD'S goodness breakforth upon you in greater and greater measure..... thank you JESUS for the miracles YOU have performed for this precious couple..... continue blessing them in an increasing manner LORD..... until they have the full freedom and healing and power that YOU paid for on their behalf..... in JESUS' name..... thank YOU LORD JESUS.... :hug:

Just prayed for your wife to find the healing she needs, and for you to be strong in dealing with all of this!

Being a caregiver can be just as tough as being the one with the illness...
