My husband is so much like the old Jimmy. I am his designated feeler and finder. I wish he would see me as his helper. I wish he would change like how Jimmy did. For my husband to no longer criticize me and to start speaking positively to me would mean the world to me. I’ve been praying for such a long time. My husband is the type that draws people to him. For some reason people want him to like them. They respect him and see value in him. He gives his best to his coworkers and friends. I don’t know why I always get the last of what he has to give, which is only negativity. I don’t feel like I am asking for much. Just for him to not speak to me like I am a burden. Just for him to not lash out at me because something tiny like me making coffee bothers him for whatever reason. Just for him to speak life into me and show me love as my spouse. Just for him to change his bad habits and reprioritize what is actually important in his life.
I think it is so wonderful how you notice and appreciate how much you need and love Karen, and you tell her so! It takes a Godly and humble man to admit how important his woman is in his life.
Yeah just too bad when our wife can't get that back to us. No matter how loving and caring I try to be it gets met with I'm a psycho for asking if she is having a good day because how dare I bother her while she's working. Yeah I know I'm pretty sure my wife is having an affair at this point. She just got done telling me she wish I would put a bullet in my head because I asked why she was being so short with me when I text her to see how her day was going. But I do pray everybody else out here watching this is having a better day than me which really wouldn't take much at this point because I am absolutely broken and my wife has made me feel like I'm the woman of the relationship because I actually care about how her day is going. And I'm at that point where I'm about done praying for healing and our marriage and just begging God to take me home because the pain has become too much and I'm starting to realize I probably shouldn't know the outcome
@@wesv8743 trust me, I know exactly how you are feeling. My marriage is far from perfect and I have been in the pit of darkness many times. I have decided not to let my husbands opinion of me define me. I am a child of God and He loves me unconditionally and he loves you too Wes! Don't give up, I know how bad it hurts to be in a hard marriage where you just want some love back but feel you are not getting it. We really need to continue to pray for our spouse because we need to become more like Christ, that is our purpose here on this earth. Praying for you.
So True🕊️
@@wesv8743 God Loves you. Please call a Church and go talk to the Minister. Stay close to God right now and he will go before you in your life. Truth🕊️
@@kimacker8594 thank you so much Kim. I really do know exactly what you're saying is true I am child of God. And I was going through a hard time when I wrote this and even though things are better we haven't really resolved anything from the past but right now I'm working on healing our marriage and God is also. Things have been better and I know that can flip like a light switch at any moment but I'll take the win for now.. God bless and thank you again
Please pray for me & spouse in Jesus name, I declare & decree a marriage restoration & reconciliation amen.

His story is also mine. I thank God for the day this 14 year old girl from the streets of Amarillo's bar life stumbled into that little white church in East Amarillo. It changed me. ❤
Jimmy, It was hard to hear the heart in your personal testimony... Thank you for being so transparent. Your candor helped me feel less alone with my own pain. Glory to Lord Jesus.
I’ve tried for almost 38 years of marriage being called nasty names, being cheated on telling him i love you ,he moved out on me with another woman , I was dumb n let him back a week later, I still love him but the drinking , verbal,emotional and sometimes physical abuse is getting worse no matter what I tried it’s not working I just tried emotionally healthy relationship course with him and he didn’t participate, yesterday I thought I was having a heart attack he was drinking he told me to go lay down your not having a heart attack,I was rushed to ER by his sister, needless to say I’m not in the best of health took 4 nitroglycerin pills and morphine to stop my pain, I have gallbladder sludge which gives the symptoms of a heart attack, he was more worried about going to bed to get up for work and his whiskey over my life,it’s time for me to leave , I don’t want too but my church is intervening they said my safety comes 1st,please pray that this wakes him up and if he truly loves me he will seek help from our church , AA,and counseling, I won’t go back until he goes to AA and counseling I have learned by praying that I am gods child and deserve better and that I am to be my husband’s equal partner not his doormat , I will continue to pray for him, he received Jesus almost 4 years ago but his behavior hasn’t changed 🙏🏼
Thank you God for using Jimmy Evans to speak life into Your Church! Words can be so healing 😊!
Your description of how God loves us and won’t leave us is so profoundly touching! Thank you!
So profound Jimmy❤ - imagine if you didn't listen to God. Your mess turned into a message - marriages need this wisdom. God is proud of you as I'm sure Karen is.
Your teachings are a blessing , I feel like Jesus is talking to me through you .God bless you, you are a blessing
God’s word says if your spouse leaves …
Let them go. God will give you peace & strength. Keep close to God and he will see you through this.🕊️
Just so you know, you are a blessing to me, too! An answer to prayer. Literally, I prayed & the Lord led me to you. Thank you 🙏
I’m in need of prayer I feel like my prayers and patience with my fiancé are not being heard my fiancé stonewalls me in an aurgument gives me one word answers It’s left me feeling resentful. Please pray for us.
Thank you!! I was so touched by this video!!!! Awsome encouragement
Dear God, allow me to see those who are in need and show me how to meet their basic needs as well as their spiritual needs. Help me not to overlook how serving in simple ways shows the love of Jesus. Give me opportunities to love others following your example. Thank you for sending your son, Jesus Christ, to not only save me from my sins, but to be an example of love for all mankind. May I live a love of love that brings others to you. In Jesus' name, amen Shalom.
Please, please pray for me my husband left and pushed me away and now he’s talking about divorce. I love and appreciate, him so very, very much. It is so terribly hard, I feel so unloved and uncared for. please do pray for a miracle in his life to come back to God and his wife and family. God bless mightily. Thank you
Look up prayers for deliverance because this is spiritual warfare. Fast and pray and put this on your church prayer list. Call family and friends and ask them. You need to step out in faith, and where 2 or three gather in his name there, he will be.
Mine did same thing, mental illness and now we ate reconciling it took 4 months.❤ don't give up. Take this to the Lord and receive his direction
I pray that God's perfect will for both of you happens.
Get into the word of God let him reveal his plan for you. Not the one you want but his perfect plan .
Maria I’d like to encourage you today. Your loved and prayed for dear. Take the endless strength that the Lord can and will give you if you’ll ask. He will strengthen you and uphold you in this time of difficulties. Put Him first and lift your husband up to the Lord and allow Him to work in his life. Please continue to love and encourage your husband and remember to love your husband through Christ not in yourself. He may be under attack and is being spiritually attacked so be gracious and merciful towards him. Lord give Maria a solid foot to which she can settle on you and your word and the solid promises you give to her and everyone who trust in you. Deal with her husband and allow restoration to happen I ask in Jesus name. Amen

Please pray for me I have been very disrespectful to my wife over anger to the point that she left. I am hurting and more so cus i hurt her. She is a fantastic wife and mother . I hated away from god and I left a lot of doors for the devil to enter my heart and thoughts. Idk what’s going to happen between us but I know I’m seeking god and want to be the man, husband and father he wants me to be. Not only for my marriage but because I don’t like that person I was a few weeks ago I know God I have walked faithfully doing everything he asked and one point in my life and I know that I have to stay doing that because this is what happens. I have spoke to a member from your counsel and now I am doing 21 day inner healing. I think it’s called. I just started it yesterday and I just ask you to pray for my wife for her hurts and her pains like I do and whatever God will is for our future it is I can’t stop it he knows my heart, but my heart Hass to be with God all the time, I also ask that you pray for our marriage thank you you’re a very good speaker
I am asking and praying for restoration of marriage for myself and my wife Kori. I am asking that God gives us both clean hearts and minds. I pray for her deliverance back to Jesus. She is a born again Christian that has turned away. God please bring her back to you! Lord deliver her from the taste of alcohol and from people that do not have her best interest in life be it family, "friends" and acquaintances. Lord I am trusting you and have faith in you to restore us, reconcile us and to deliver her from the hands of evil. I pray all of this in Jesus precious name, Amen! 🙏🏾
My spouse is an alcoholic who refuses to seek Jesus. 😢 I've prayed for years but he continues to try & destroy me. Try.. bc I know who I am in Christ Jesus so he'll never bring me down buy being unequally yoked is so hard!
Don't give up on him please, I drink and I smoke but I love Jesus and he loves me and he's working on me daily and I'm sure he's working on your husband as well.I'm so broken up right now. My wife wants nothing to do with me she would rather I'd be dead. If I ask anyhing it's all defensive and wondering how I can be so insane. We actually got pregnant over a month ago at least when she knew and she tried hiding it from me so she could go get an abortion and after putting pads in the trash and leaving her phone at work to go get an ultrasound so I would not know she finally told me because she found out she wasn't going to be able to do it without me finding out something was going on but I knew all along. We've been together for 20 years and this will be our fourth child. Anyways today she just let me know the reason she hates me so much is because she was planning her escape with our second child when she got old enough and then we had our third child so that made it even worse and now we are having our 4th child and I would not say it was okay to get an abortion. So today we got in an argument because I asked her if she was having a good day and she said okay and I asked her why she was being so short with me and she flipped out and told me she wish I would just put a bullet in my head because she wants to be done with me. I really don't know how to get past this but any prayers and much appreciated. Truly hope something starts to work because this quickly she is able to get rid of me I'm starting to wonder what's going on at work these days.. I will pray for you and your husband. I do have to say as a recovering addict of five and a half years drinking a few beers a night is only as bad as you make it.. it could be the only thing that keeps me from doing what my wife wants me to right now which would be against God's will. But to be honest she has me praying and begging God to take me home so I don't have to deal with this pain of her resentments and rejection anymore
I know your hurt sister. You are very wise to continue to trust in the Lord!
It is not easy. A couple who have helped encourage me so much are:
Dan Mohler - Marriage Restoration Testimony and then look up Laura Doyle’s book and podcast called The Empowered Wife. God says even if your spouse is an unbeliever, you are to win them over to the Lord with your actions, not your words.

Appreciation
Attention
Help
😔
Does your congregation look like the book of Acts?
I doubt it!!
Amen
Please pray for myself and my wife. She has separated herself from me and has said that she is no longer my wife and is now having an affair. I'm trying to stay strong but it is extremely difficult
