My husband of 45 years has filed for legal separation and plans to go on to divorce. He says that he just doesn't love me anymore. We have two grown children and two grandsons. I am broken and am praying that God will help me be the woman He wants me to be, be the wife He wants me to be, and I pray for a miracle in my life and in my marriage. I have had numerous illnesses: a life-threatening autoimmune disease, spasmodic dysphonia, breast cancer, two surgeries for a very bad bacterial infection after radiation, lymphodema, a total titanium shoulder replacement and now I am waiting to have two brain MRIs. Last week I was in a coma for over 25 hours and my husband put a blanket over me (I was on the floor) and went to a meeting. I have no memory of any of that. Two weeks earlier, I fell and was unable to control any part of my body for two days. I am so tired and the fight has gone out of me. I read about all the Biblical people who went through stuff and I am trying to hold on to God. My husband and I grew up in the same church and he is a wonderful Christian man. He is just tired of me and wants to live his life....just not with me. Please lift me up in your prayers. I am thankful for the 45 years we have had. I have wonderful memories. I want him to go and be happy, if that is God's will.

Welcome (((nancyweath)))
Your post made me want to cry. I have never understood the phrase "I don't love you any more". I have often wondered how one stops loving their spouse. They don 't stop loving their parents, their children, or even their dog. I am sorry you have had that said to you. I totally understand as I have been told that myself in the past.
Father I pray you will give nancyweath peace. She is going though so much pain right now and in the midst of it all still worries about her husband's happiness. Please send those her way who will have more compassion for her plight. I pray her husband will stop and think. He has been a church member for years, Lord. Surely he knows he is doing wrong by abandoning his wife to seek his "happiness". Speak to his heart Lord. I pray in Jesus name.

Yes Father we do ask that this husband be filled with compassion for his wife, and also a deep love for her. It sounds like they are both tired Lord, with years and years of health struggle.
Father, I ask You to do a miracle in Nancy's body. A huge healing Lord all over, that she may walk renewed and filled with energy, no matter what her husband does. But I do ask You Lord to speak to him about what he is doing - although You probably have already.
Please don't let the enemy steal what has been built for years, Lord. We ask You to protect and renew this marriage. In Jesus Name I pray
amen

May You hold her close, Jesus, in Your everlasting arms of comfort... And may You speak pointedly to her husband's heart. Amen.

Our Merciful Father, I am agreeing in prayer for healing for Nancy's body and their marriage. I join the above in lifting Nancy and her husband up to You. May Your peace and love fill their lives. In the name Jesus the Messiah I pray. To GOD be the glory. Amen.

Dear Nancy,
It is heartbreaking to me to hear how you have been treated. It is not God's will for us to leave our spouse because they are sick, but sadly people don't always do what God would have them to do. The richest blessings in this life come from living and giving unselfishly. You are really a treasure still putting your husband first even in this. Keep hanging onto the Lord, he will see you through.
Dear Heavenly Father,
In times like these we cling to you and ask for you to carry us as we can't carry ourselves. Please take care of this dear lady, give her strength for each day and send those to her who can help her and love her through this. May your perfect will be done in her life. In Jesus name I pray, amen.

Father God,
I am praying in agreement with Cindy for Nancy, her husband, and their marriage.
Lord, I ask that You please heal Nancy's body, and I pray that You will draw her
husband to You. Speak to him, tenderize is heart, and open his spiritual eyes and
ears so that he understands what he is doing. I pray that he repents and decides
to honor the covenant relationship of marriage. Lord, do a mighty work in this
man and renew their marriage with You as the foundation. Protect Nancy from
the evil one and hold her in Your tender and loving care.
In Jesus' name,
Amen.

Father God...Thank you for the years this couple has shared as husband and wife. If he truly knows you as his Lord and Savior, Lord Jesus...may he be reminded of the wedding vows 45 years ago. In sickness and in health, tell death do they part. If he is depressed and feeling helpless concerning his wife's health issues...may his burden be lifted with offers of assistance from church, family or friends. Lord your intervention in guarding the evil intent of Satan to destroy this marriage is so needed. In Jesus name may healing be hers and the welcoming of any relief you have to offer. May he give ear to the the Spirit of Truth who tells him to return to the wife of his youth and love her like Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. May your compassion and mercy be hers at this trying time...in Christ.

Father we love you, we praise you, we know that you are our Comforter, our Rock, our Abba Father -- Father please above all else give Nancy peace in this midst of this storm. Thank you Father, in your precious Son Jesus's Name, Amen.
