Prayer Request: Please pray for my son. I taught him how to treat a woman. He is a perfect gentleman. However, he doesn’t know where to draw the line. He’s married to a terrible woman. I’m a Christian woman. I’ve been married to my husband for 26 years and I’ve always believed that divorce was never an option until my son married her. She has admitted to cheating on him. They split up, but after being separated for only 3 months, my son decided he still wanted to make his marriage work. When she returned home little did he know…

Sometimes we get so busy and stressed that we forget to take a moment to breath, exhale, and PRAY! We run around throughout the day rushing from here to there, stressing over this and that, not realizing that just one word with God can turn it all around. Here’s a little something I found while perusing the internet. Enjoy! 🙂 My Friend, As you got up I watched and hoped you would talk to me. Just a few words, such as thanking me for something good in your life yesterday or last week, would do. But I noticed you were…

With all of the major television networks constantly competing over the daytime TV market, ABC has decided to take a slightly different approach to attract viewers. Instead of developing another daytime talk show with one single host or a panel of hosts, they’ve decided to upstage their competitors by offering viewers a daytime talk program hosted by a popular husband-and-wife duo. That duo happens to be none other than Rev Run of legendary hip hop trio Run DMC (now minister) and his lovely wife, Justine Simmons. The title of the new show has yet to be disclosed. It’s also unclear…

Prayer Request: I am in the beginning stages of a divorce. I have one child with my husband and a child from a previous relationship. Things are just BAD!! He has pushed me away, his kids away (he has 2 kids from a previous relationship) and he blames me/us for everything. He has never been supportive, loving, caring. He literally steals every ounce of joy that I have in life. And while I know in my heart he deserves so much better I also know that I can’t change him….only God can. I am trying to change my life and…

Prayer Request: Hello, I need serious prayer. My brother and my husband got into a huge fight. My brother scolded my daughter and my husband had a fit. My brother and I have always had the kind of relationship where we treat each other’s kids like we would treat our own. So I didn’t think anything of it. I told my husband that he was making it more of a big deal than it was. Why did I do that? He accused me of having my brother’s back over his. This weekend most of my family got together at my…

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, recognized as a national effort to promote awareness and prevention of domestic violence.

There are numerous steps a person and/or family may take from a legal perspective to ensure their family’s safety. Womenslaw.org provides detailed information and advice on how to deal with an abusive situation from developing a “ready to leave plan” to filing a restraining order and getting police reports. We will…

Prayer Request: I’ve been married to my husband for a little over 3 years. I love him very much and I know he loves me. He’s a wonderful husband but at times he can be very insensitive. Lately he has been saying very mean things to me about my weight. He has even told me that he will not have sex with me until I lose weight. When we met I was around 5’8 125 lbs. I’m now around 165 lbs. I gained 25 pounds after having our first child and 15 pounds after our second. To me… I’m a…

Davion Only believes that God helps those who help themselves. So on Sunday, the orphaned 15-year-old went to church in a donated black suit that was too big for him and asked for the one thing that he wants most – a family. “I’ll take anyone,” he told the Tampa Bay Times. “Old or young, dad or mom, black, white, purple. I don’t care. And I would be really appreciative. The best I could be.” Born in jail to a mother who couldn’t care for him, Only has been shuffled through one foster home after another, never finding a permanent…

Prayer Request: My husband and I have been married for 11 years straight out of college. My husband never wanted me to work. He wanted me to stay at home and raise our kids. I was totally against being a housewife, but after some time I finally gave in. 11 years later I think that was the biggest mistake of my life. My husband used to make 6 figures when we married. He was let go from his high paying job after being there for 8 years. We tried opening and maintaining a couple of businesses since then but they…

Prayer Request: My husband and I have been going through a tough time in our marriage. It started last summer. I met a man that became a friend and he started paying attention to me the way my husband used to. I ended up sleeping with him. It was only once but that was more than enough. I told my husband and we started counseling. My husband filed for divorce in October. I moved out in December because of the separation. I was gone for 2 months. One month after I left he had another woman. After 2 months of…

Prayer Request: I’ve been married to my husband for 5 years. We have 2 kids together. When we first married, we would have sex everyday. Now I sometimes fake sleep just to get out of having sex with him. Believe me I would love to be attracted to my husband the way I was 5 years ago. There’s no one else. I don’t want a divorce. But there is definitely a problem in the sex area. He thinks I’m cheating on him and I try to make him understand that I’m not. I always blame it on the kids or…

Prayer Request: I have been with my high school sweetheart for 6 years now. When I first met him, he was my spiritual leader. He had just gotten baptized and was training to become a cell group leader for his church. He used to share verses and pray for me. He is really a perfect guy. He is tall, dark and handsome, smart, successful and has a bright future. He meets every single criteria on my list. My dream is to marry my first boyfriend and he is my first boyfriend. I really really love him and I really really…

Prayer Request: I have been dating this guy for about a year and we both know its wrong because legally I’m still married but separated. I truly care and love this man. My kids really like him. They think he’s sweet. We pray together and he is very involved in church and different ministries. He actually in theology school. He is a good guy but I notice that through the storms of my life, when I most need him he is not there. I have a daughter that has an illness and through one of her attacks she was kept…

Prayer Request: The man I am married to is my high school sweetheart. We separated for years but we got back together in December of 2011. It started when I backslid and was with him and his friends while they drank, but over a few months it got worse. I was the responsible one with a car and I ended up driving these drunk people bar to bar through the night. Then I got closer to God and told him I don’t want that in my life and if he didn’t want to change he could leave. He lied and…

Prayer Request: I have been married for almost a year and things are in a bad place right now. I do not want to get a divorce but I don’t know what to do. I have just recently found out that I am pregnant and I am very scared because I have been pregnant 5 other times over my lifetime and have not been able to carry my babies to full term and my last pregnancy was a tubal pregnancy so in the midst of believing God for this miracle I am trying to fix my marriage. Should I just…

Prayer Request: I need help. My heart and feelings have been broken for the past 3 weeks. This guy I was dating for about 2 months told me one day, He doesn’t know if he wants to be with me or his ex and wants me to wait on him to make a decision. Since then, I have cut off communication with him and blocked his numbers and all social sites that we were connected to. The reason is because our “relationship” wasn’t Godly. It was full of sin. I had been on the road to Jesus for awhile and…

Prayer Request: I have been with the same man for almost 5 years now. We’ve been married for just over one year and now we’re expecting a child. During this time there have been occasions where he has hit me. I never left because I was thinking that it would pass, and that I was committed. I thought that being married meant that you have to help your partner through. Walking out was not an option, especially considering I have given so much of myself. He recently did it again, but worse! Fully aware that I’m pregnant. I’m so conflicted.…

Prayer Request: I’ve been plagued with unforgiveness and guilt for a very long time. I not only need to forgive other people but myself. I allowed a lot of embarrassing and hurtful things to occur in my life and I’m still paying dearly for them today. Rebellion has a very hefty price to pay. My prayer today is that God grants me peace of mind and acceptance of the past knowing that what has happened has happened and needs to be put behind me so I can proceed and be the woman, mother, nurturer, entrepreneur, friend, and eventually wife that…

Prayer Request: I have a child with a man from my past. It did not end well in the past. There was wrong done on both of our parts. He wanted us to be forever, but I wanted him to get certain things in his life straightened out first. A few years after we split he married a woman that did not push him to be a better person, settled for his shortcomings, and made up what he lacked. He was married when our child was conceived, both of us giving in to flesh. I know I was wrong, he…
