        need help with husband
 
I don't really know what to do. I have been praying constantly for over 8 years for my husband, and so far nothing has changed. He fights me on things of the Bible, gets on my computer and looks up sights about sex stuff,is bitter about things of the past (before me) that affect everything about our relationship, doesn't want me involved with his finances but won't help me when I need it. Satan has such a hold on him but he doesn't think so. I have prayed so much about his salvation but am about ready to give up. It hurts so bad and I feel that in this, God has turned away from me.

Please whatever you do do not give up and stop praying for your husband. I am a man of 50+ years and I was lost for a long time and if it wasn't for a praying mom I would probably still be where I was, a total mess,drugs,money,sex,rock & roll and all the other sin that goes along with it. For over 25 years living like that, but then the Lord began to do a wonderful work in my life.
But you must continue to pray for your husband and be as kind as possible and be the Christain GOD has called you to be.

Hi, I am praying for you about this. Your husband is tangled up in the things of this world - his heart and mind are given over to stress and bitterness and all the chaos of a life lived outside of God's love. It's painful for you to have to live with ,and, from my own experience, I know how hard it is, praying for years for your loved one, but seeing no change. God hasn't turned away from you - he's trying to draw you ever closer to Himself. Your husband is dearly loved by Him and not given over to Satan. Sometimes, people have to go a long way down the road of sin before they reach a point where they've had enough and turn to God for salvation. Your husband isn't a lost cause. Try to stay close to God and focus on your own relationship with Him; God will deal with your husband in His own way and time (which sounds great, I know, but is still hard to actually live with on a daily basis).
Try to trust in God - let Him lead you. Don't try to solve all the issues yourself - let Him take on the workload; just focus on finding an inner peace in Him, which will give you the strength to continue.
Don't martyr yourself over this - God doesn't ask or expect that of you. He only asks you to love. Take good care of yourself. You're in my prayers. God bless.
