Uniting the World Through the Power of Prayer

Forgive me for dishonoring my husband

Dedicated to: tgb

I am coming here today to ask forgiveness for dishonoring my husband. I learned today that I have given too much information in my prayers and have shamed and dishonored my husband. The Lord's word says, "A worthy wife is a crown for her husband, but a disgraceful woman is like cancer in his bones." Proverbs 12:4 and "...to live wisely and be pure, to work in their homes, to do good, and to be submissive to their husbands. Then they will not bring shame on the word of God." Titus 2:5. "Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor,
Him I will destroy;..." Psalm 101:5
I have not been wining my husband without a words, I have been slandering his name, even before you who do not know him.
He is a wonderful man with a problem, a problem that many people have. But aside from his problem, he is a very loving, compassionate person, he is smart, funny, and a good father. He has always loved me the best he could even in the midst of his problems. He is has saved peoples lives without thinking of his own, he has put himself in the way of danger for other human beings. He has served his country in the military, and is a hard worker. He puts everything he has into something if he believes in it.
Lord Jesus, I ask for forgiveness of the shame I have brought on my husband. Your word says for each of us to confess our own sins...well, I have done an excellent job of confessing my husbands sins for him. Forgive me, I have been more wrong than I have even realized...
I have been controlling and quarrelsome. I have tried to be the head of the household because I did not think my husband could do the job...correctly -- or better yet "my way." I have been so ignorant to God's word and my responsibilities and role as a wife that I have virtually packed my husband's things and moved him out of the house all on my own. Even now, right before I wrote this, I got on my IM because he was on there and I wanted him to see my name pop up. I wanted him to think about me. I have done worse things that I have and will confess to God alone, but I wanted to make it known that I have been worse than my husband in that I say I have a relationship with God, but don't live like it...I have been double-minded.
I prayed for God to do whatever it took for me to be content and thin on him alone, and He is answering my prayers, but I am fighting back. I am a sinner Lord, please teach me the right way to be.
Thank you.

Heavenly Father, thank you for being a compassionate God. Thank you for your mercy. Assure this woman that you have forgiven her so that she may forgive herself. Once You have forgiven us, it's erased and I pray that You comfort this family and pull them through this. In Jesus' name, amen

Heavenly Father, you have said that if we confess our sins that you are faithful and just to forgive us our sins. And knowing that Lord, help Gengreen recieve the forgiveness you have already granted her. Draw her closer to you, and may she depend on you for all her needs. In Jesus name, Amen.
