Hi guys...

Just a quick request from me to pray for my husband. He has some mental health issues that effect every thing he does...and he's going through a particularly stressful time right now. I would also ask that you pray for me as his wife, and the strength of our marriage.

Thanks!

*UPDATE*
(11/17/07)
Thank you all, again, for your continued prayers. This is the situation as it stands now...

We met with DH's superintendant on Friday. We thought it would be an opportunity for DH to share his side of what happened and that things would be resolved. She took the opportunity to address past issues and questioned if he were emotionally stable enough to continue working. She disregarded the support DH has received from students and parents and focused on only the negative comments that she's received, including some that are not true. We have not been given the opportunity to view the information she has for or against, so it is difficult for DH to defend himself. We are now at the point where we feel we have to consult a lawyer, which is not something we ever wanted to do.

DH has had anger management issues in the past, as I think I've stated, but he has grown tremendously in the past four years. There was no mention of this in our meeting. Even if DH is returned to work at this point he is not sure he can continue given the current climate.

This is causing a huge strain on our marriage and family. DH is not functioning well, and I am having a very hard time supporting him, and our children are caught in the middle. We are worried about our financial and emotional future, and about how this will affect our children. Also, while these troubles initially brought DH closer to knowing God, at this moment he is feeling dumbstruck and abandoned.

I ask that you all pray that we are able to trust in Christ Jesus that he will see us through this situation, and that all things will work for good. I ask for knowledge and guidance of how to procede, and that we are able to hear God's will. I'm asking for peace of mind, and strength to carry on with our responsibilities as God works things out for us.

Thanks again.

TY all...

I was in a major rush this morning and didn't get to write all the details I would have liked. My DH has OCD and panic attacks with some depression and anger management issues thrown in for good measure. He is under a considerable amount of stress at work right now. We had a very rough night last night. I lack the tools to always support him the way he needs to be. In fact, sometimes it's very difficult for me to be around him, much less support him, during times like these due to my own issues. I have given the situation to God for my own part...that's all I can do. But, DH struggles with his own spirituality and does not feel like he has God to lean on. *sigh* Your prayers a greatly appreciated.

Lord, thank you for all that you do for us. Please bless redheadedchild and her husband. May they stop and take time as a couple to refresh all that they love about each other. In life, we get caught up with all other matters and neglect the simple things. May she and her husband find celebration in you and their love for each other. Grant them both more patience and understanding that yokes them even closer - as one, as you intended. We give praise to your Holy Name. Amen.

Father in Heaven, please heal her husband mentally, spiritually, emotionally and physically. Please cast out any demons that may be in or around him -- never to return to him or anyone else. Please help him to thirst more for You and Your Word. Please be with Red and strengthen her. Draw them closer to each other and to You. Help them to pray together. Restore their marriage. Deliver them from all evil. Help them to forgive as needed. In Jesus' name, Amen.

I am so sorry to read about your husbands troubles.
I myself suffer from depression and I also work with people who are mentally ill so I understand how difficult this must be for you both.

I will be praying for you and your husband that you may both come through this time with God's love and be stronger than ever.

God bless and love to you both :hug:

bumping this thread....

My husband is now on week 3 of administrative leave while his employeers decide whether or not to fire him. They have given us no information either way, though we found out today someone has been brought in to do his job while they decide.
I know DH and I both are being surrounded by prayers. I'm asking you to continue...for the 1st time tonight I felt my hope in the situation take a nosedive. I'm having a hard time hearing God's will in all this, and I'm feeling vulnerable in other areas.

Thank you all.

Heavenly Father, please be with RedHeaded & her husband. They are going through such trying times, they hold onto their faith and hope in You for deliverance through this situation. We ask that you provide reprieve to them Lord, let the burdens be lifted, let them gain total inner peace in knowing that you are in control, that your desire to Bless us is far greater than Satan's ability to deceive us. May they not be deceived during this period but they remain faithful to You Word and hope in You. Lord, may they take some time to replinish their spirits in the Cleansing Words you provide us. God please be with them and give them courage. Amen.

Lord... in times of trouble I find myself searching for answers, but I never find them. It is these times that I need You to find the answers for me, so that I can carry on in the direction you planned out. Bless this young lady, and help her focus and remain calm so that she can be successful at all she does. Give her husband the strength and courage he will need to carry on through all the trouble, and keep the children safe. Bless the family and make it tight-knit. Bring down an anointing that will heal any pain that has been caused or that will come... Lord we strike down the enemy right now in the name of Jesus Christ; Satan has NO PLACE disrupting this family!

Devil I command you now by the power of Jesus Christ; leave this place and let this family be at peace.

Jesus my King... this lady cries out to you... hear her cries and hug her... hug her husband... and the children. Let all truth be revealed to those who do not see it, so that the family's stress is relieved and they can carry on in a blessed union with You.

Lord God our Father... we love You and trust in You. Thy will be done.

In Jesus' name,

Amen.

*Big hugs* It will all be okay...

DH was reassigned today. We are very thankful that he still has a job and that it will be less stressful, although it does mean a reduction in pay. We are extremely hurt at how this was handled and that the results seem punitive, given what actually happened. But, in the back of my mind I know there is a reason and it will all work out in the end. I want to thank everyone for all their prayers through all of it. Please keep us in mind as we make the transition.

Thanks!

Here's an update - *PRAISE REPORT* - about DH - he is officially appealing the decision. In his letter to the superintendant he said that he always felt that his teaching position was his calling from the Lord, and "after much reflection, prayer and counseling, I believe this more than ever. In seeking guidance from Him, His response to me has been: 'Don't give up.'" He told me that he has completely surrendered the situation to God and is at peace with whatever may happen next because it would be God's will. I'm both shocked and amazed by this, but I'll take it! Isn't God great?:amen: :clap:
