PRAYER #46 - MY WIFE IS FAR FROM ME

My wife Ann, left four times in the last year on extended trips to China. She is Chinese. We have been married for six years. We were separated too long and have watched as her heart has slowly grown cold, secretive and talks very little. Yes, she may even have another. In January I lost my job and still can not find work. Our money is dwindling. And, as our sixth anniversary comes up

I miss my best friend and true love. I pray God to send here home with a reconciled heart. Two days ago I found out she has Cervical Cancer. And, my heart goes out to my 11 year old Chinese daughter who misses her home.

So many hurts and feeling. Dear God, work a miracle, give here wisdom, health and forgiveness. She is my everything.

HOW TO PRAY

A simple patterns of prayer that has worked for many is the acronym ACTS which stands for Adoration, confession, thanksgiving and supplication.

Adoration - Spend some time praising God for who He is and what He has done

Confession - admit to God where you have blown it or fallen short

Thanksgiving - Thank God for your forgiveness and the other great things He is doing in your life.

Supplication - This is the part where you bring your prayer requests to God.
