Prayer Request
I wanted to ask my MH friends for prayers. I'm having a difficult time praying for my husband and honoring him. I am very resentful because of his alcoholism and can't find peace. I know I need to read my Bible and pray and love him anyway. I'm just having a really hard time doing so because I'm so hurt. I'm bitter and make smart comments. He's drunk in bed right now and I'm terribly upset that he can't support me emotionally.
Thanks to all for your prayers.

Hi I´m an alcoholic too!!
I drank allthough I was a born again christian.
Have been clean from both alcohol and amfhetamin and cannabis for 23 years thx to AA.
Or more precisely thx to Jesus who has worked through AA.
Still this addiction decise is a tough one and often goes way back in familys.
And also persons like you( who marries alcholics) have it often in the family, is that the case for you if so I will highly recomend to you to get in contact with ACA not alanon but ACA.
You can go there if you are brought up in any kind of dysfunctional family.
I my self has started to atain those meetings. My father is a workaholic and child of an alcoholic.
I really think thats the real issue and has been for me. My addiction has mostly been a symptom of growing up in a disturbed family.
Anyway whatever you do I will pray that you shall come know that you are a beautiful woman and always has been, no matter if your fat have no teeths or whatever.
You are a fantastic human being worthy of loving,respecting and to admire all human beings including your self .
God bless you girl!!

I so do understand the resentment you feel. Sometimes we must forgive that person so that God can work with them. Our forgiveness gets in the way sometimes of allowing that to happen. I pray for peace and forgiveness in your heart and the ability for you to stand aside emotionally so God can deal with him. We can only pray to God to give us that strength and sometimes just saying it even tho we do not believe it as yet will lead to the believing it. It is a process and is not easy either.
It could be that your husband has to get lower than he is now before he starts looking up. I pray for both of you. Dont let the devil take what belongs to you. Stand strong. My prayers are with you both.

Amen iron sharpens iron!!!
You give the rest of us hope. Bold.
The key was, though, that you did want to change. However, we all forget sometimes just how powerful prayer really is and that nothing is too hard for God, nothing!
Keep praying, BP. I'm with you on this! Let's keep encouraging each other and praying for one another! God bless you, my friend. Know your in my thoughts and prayers always!

Don't give up on your husband, Christ willingly died for all of our sins. God delivered my husband from alcohol abuse and I thank Him daily for that.
Husbands should love their wives like Christ loves the church willing to give his life for them, how could you not be submisive to a man that loves you like that????..you need to be submisive ONLY if it is in a Godly way to your husband. God Bless you and keep you <3

Alanon taught me the tools I needed as the wife of an alcoholic. It's not for everyone but I certainly found it helpful. And there were many believers there struggling with the same thing.. I commit myself to pray for you and your husband for healing and redemption from the terrible effects of alcoholism.. Take care of you...
I am so sorry to read about your husbands drinking. I was very pleased to read you knowing that you need to read and pray to maintain some sanity and peace of mind. I have been there and know that when I was close to God his drinking was not a big issue. When I got to caught up in work, family or just plain living I had no patience of the disease. I also know that there is hope. My husband was saved 16 years ago and has not had a drink since then. Know God is there by your side and I will keep you in my prayers.
you have my prayers honey!
Jollyman and Bon-Bon,
Thank you so much for your prayers! Thank you for the words of encouragement. God bless you both.
Bon-Bon, of course I don't mind your posting here :) I appreciate it! And I know that you're right. I just have to keep praying whether I want to or not. I don't want to give up, but it's very easy to do so when I'm so tired of it and don't seem to have the strength to put up with more...
Thank you :)

Hi babypooh. I hope you don't mind my posting. I saw your request for prayer. You are going through such a difficult situation. But you along with your husband can get through this together with God's help.
We include you and your husband in our prayers.
God can manage and even change your husband's heart as well as the "desires" of his heart regarding anything even concerning "alcohol".
babypooh, continue to pray for your husband, it is especially important when you don't feel like it, that's when you do it all the more. You will see your breakthrough.
Before, a breakthrough occurs, often there's a great push just beforehand. That final push could be the very prayer you prayed at a time you had to give everything you had to do it. And GOD can honor your prayer in victory as a wife, at a time when both you and your husband needed it most. Our ferverent prayers as a wife are very relevant in GOD's eyes. GOD will help you, HE will give you the desire and the strength to do so; as, HE can also give that desire and strength to your husband.
Consider asking GOD to cleanse your husband from alcoholism 'for the purpose of GOD's glory and plan for both you and your husband's life together, in Christ Jesus name'. I pray this prayer in agreement with you.
Blessings and pleasant thoughts to you and your husband this day and always.

April, Vance, thank you, thank you, thank you for your beautiful true words! Thank you for your prayers. God bless you both.
I will try to be stronger and keep praying so I can know what to do.
You're right, April, my husband isn't being the man God needs him to be. I know I can't change him and yet I keep wondering what I can do or say.
Vance, I'm so happy that you pulled through your troubles and "woke up."
I too hope that a tragedy doesn't have to happen in order for my husband to have his wake up call...

I will pray for you and your husband. I know for myself I needed something bad to happen to wake me up a coupel of years ago. I pray that your husband can be woken up without something bad happening. I pray that you stand strong in these tough times and that God takes his all loving nature and gives you all the strength both of you need.
What you're feeling is perfectly normal and understandable. Yes, we're to honor our husbands but your husband is not being the man God wants him to be either. He's not living up to his side of things. God understands your feelings, BP. He really does. Keep giving this to Him, all your frustrations, anger, disappointment. He understands and will give you His peace even while still living in this situation. Ask Him for wisdom to know what to do and strength to see you through.
Know I'm praying for you, my friend. I will continue to pray until you get that breakthrough! God bless you, my friend. Hang in there! God loves you and so do I! Hugs and blessings,
April
