I am looking for someone (or a group of someones!!) to be praying for me through some difficult times with my dh. It's sort of long and complex, but I'll try to give you the overview:

1. DH battles depression from feeling like he isn't "worth" anything and doesn't provide well for us. He is really smart and has a BBA in Management, but really isn't using it. We live in a somewhat depressed area so he just does what he can, but that doesn't get him ahead and it frustrates him.

2. I feel like I don't make him happy. Like I'm not enough to bring joy to his life - all he wants is a higher paying job, more prestige, more ability to have time off and work less, etc.

3. We have two adorable kids - 6 yr and 5 mo - and I know he loves them, but really doesn't take much initiative to do anything with them. He comes home and plops down in front of the tv and does nothing else but eat dinner every night.

4. I am fighting feelings of "doing it all" and I don't want to blame the trouble we are having all on him. I know that I am 50% of the relationship. However, I do all the laundry, shopping, checkbook, kid care, cooking, etc. He does cut the grass and take out the trash when he is asked several times. Usually I feel like it's not fair, but when I ask for more help, I'm nagging.

5. I feel he is loosing touch with God - usually he is very dedicated and involved, but now it's hard to even get him to help out with anything and stay committed to it. Sort of like he is mad at God for "punishing" him with the job situation.

I would love to have some folks to chat with further. If interested, let me know.

Dear Sweetiesmom,

The first thought that came to me, is I don't want to answer because I'm afraid I will forget to pray for you. But I just want you to know I will lift up your need and Thank God, we have the greatest mediator who never forgets, never lets us down & pleads our case till we're through!! May I suggest "The Power of A Praying Wife" by Stormie Omartian or anything by this author. Bless you & Bless your beautiful family in Jesus name,

Unanswered Yet?
Faith cannot be unanswered.
Her feet were firmly planted on the Rock;
Amid the wildest storms she stands undaunted,
Nor quails before the loudest thunder shock.
She knows Omnipotence has heard her prayer,
And cries, “It shall be done,� sometime, somewhere.

Unanswered yet? Nay, do not say ungranted;
Perhaps your part is not yet wholly done.
The work began when your first prayer was uttered.
And God will finish what He has begun.
If you will keep the incense burning there,
His glory you shall see, sometime, somewhere.
-Robert Browning
