Dear SDA Brothers and Sisters. I urgently need your prayers. I have been separated from wife and family since last Sunday. I confessed some sins to my wife on Sunday that I just could not keep secret any more. I will spare you the details here. My pastor has been a wonderful help to me though. He helped me find a place to stay with a couple of other guys in the church who for their own reasons are away from their families as well.

I have to say that even though I am without my family and miss them terribly I am finally at peace with God for the first time in a very long time. I am getting lots of help so that I don't have the desire to fall into the same sins again. I can't do this alone though. I need as many people to pray for me and my family as possible. I have been avoiding church for several months because I just didn't feel that I deserved to be there. I know that is the farthest thing from the truth but I just didn't want to face God or the church with this horrible secret. I am getting up early Sabbath morning to drive 150 miles to another SDA Church that has a mens group that meets every Sabbath morning. All of the men in this group are going through the same things that I am. I also have an appointment for some counseling and hope to get my wife to come with me to marriage counseling.

Please add me and my family to all of your'e prayer lists and pray that I may find freedom from my sins and that I can learn how to earn the trust of my wife again.

Thank you all and have a great Sabbath. :cry:

I want thank all of you for your prayers. I still don't know how this is going to turn out but I can definately see God working in my life again. I had a wonderful Sabbath yesterday getting to know 3 other SDA men with similar problems. As an added bonus I got to worship in a wonderful church with loving members that I had never been to before. I will be involved with this group for quite some time regardless of how my home situation works out. I am so glad that God through my pastor led me to that group and their church.

Thank you for your prayers, but please keep praying. I have a long way to go.

I will keep you posted.
