The "power of prayer" has been often quoted, sometimes studied, and often has deeply convicted individuals in spite of critics.
I've read some studies where the power of prayer greatly influenced those being prayed for, and some where there was no effect. Being prayer, in and of itself, it doesn't conform to being studied in a lab, IMHO.

***I believe in it deeply. ***

This is not about Christianity or new age or anything particular, it's simply about people coming together with a common intent and common purpose and saying prayers for the benefit of another.

I thought I'd see if there are any people out there who wanted to start a Prayer Chain of our own.
Post here if you want prayers for yourself, your children, your husbands. Maybe even others affected by this MLC journey. Tell us what your heartfelt prayers are for.

I for one pray for everyone on here, but I will commit to praying specifically every night at 10 PM eastern for anyone who wishes more specific intervention.
I put my prayers on a 3x5 card by my bed so no one gets forgotten.

What do you think?

M&H,

I think this is an AMAZING idea!

I will start on what prayers I would like to ask of everyone...

That my husband gain the strength and will to reach out for help and to come home to his family, for the health and strength of us LBS to continue our stands, no matter what,  to the chances for all of us to reach a time of new beginnings...

Oh, I guess I should put my prayer on here.
I pray my husband learns the lessons needed to be a happy person, the amazing dad I know he can be, and that he finds and develops a personal relationship with the Lord.
I pray that my step-kids find strength lessons in this mess and are not permanently affected negatively by it.
And ultimately, I pray for his return and the rebuilding of our marriage - of course.

M&H,

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this idea.

I pray each morning for all on this and the other forums. I have specific people I pray for and would love to add specific people to my list.

My prayer:

For my H to recommit his life to God, for him to see the Truth, and to realize how much his family truly loves him.

For my kids to view love as unconditional and marriage as something you work to improve.

For God to soften the hearts of the prodigals and to return them home (emotionally/physically).

For the newbies to these boards to lean on God during these most difficult days, weeks, months.

For God to give me strength and endurance to move forward in my own journey. For him to enable me to always be forgiving no matter what crosses my path in the days ahead.

I know this is long. Perhaps you could just say "Still's needs and those of her family" ---God already knows what they are....I just need reinforcement.

I think it's beautiful, I'm writing it down on a 3x5 now. Got you too, Lost.

thanks M&H...

Still HITS THE NAIL ON THE HEAD!!!

much better choice of words!

Each and every night, I pray for all of us. My new motto, slogan, guise at the end of each prayer is a paraphrase of Mathew as I end each prayer with the statement: "Through faith and only faith alone, you can move mountains." It is what allows me to stand, hold my children, and still look at my wife with love. Great topic.

I not only pray for my H to get through his journey and return to his family but I also pray that to become the woman that he once loved.

[tsk]

I think this is a great idea. I also like the 3x5 card idea - don't want to forget anyone. I will be praying at 10pm mountain time.

My prayer:
I pray that my husband will realize that his self medication (drinking excessively) and his life with OW is not happiness and its his family that he can truly rely on.

I pray for God to give me the strength to forgive and give me direction toward the path he wants me to take.

I also pray for everyone on this board. May your suffering end.

Ultimately I pray that my husband returns home, they we sucessfully reconcile and have a much stronger, loving and respectful bond as a result of this situation.

So I was trying to put into words a prayer but I just can't.  Honestly, I am having the worst day I have had in many, many months and the sadness is unrelenting today.  I am tired.  I am weary.  I hate feeling alone.  Please just pray that I can pick myself up and continue to WANT to stand.
