She'd hate it if she knew I'd asked, but she is feeling a total lack of hope, is panicking and wants out.
No matter how hard I try, I cannot instill in her the sense of hope that I have for the future. Her response to all this is to want to run and hide or do herself in.
Please, could you spare her a thought in your prayers to help her find the courage to face her fears and let them go? It would also be helping me :) TIA.
Update: Thank you so much to everyone who has responded so kindly with their thoughts and prayers. I'm heading out soon so I won't be able to respond to every reply, but know that I am grateful.
Update2: You're all amazing, and I've been moved to tears by the amount of support you've all given us. Truly, nowhere else could I have found this, and it has helped. My wife was in much better spirits when I returned home tonight.
Lord, we pray to you today for your strength and encouragement for this man’s wife. It is understandable to feel this way during these difficult times. It seems like the devil has taken control and there is no hope. But help her to look beyond what she sees with her eyes and hears with her ears and to focus on you only. We are just like Peter when he stepped out of the boat. When he kept is eyes on Jesus he was able to walk on the water, but when he began to look away, he started to sink. Help her to keep her eyes on you. We know you have this whole thing under control. Help this man and his wife find encouragement in you. In Jesus’ name we pray!
