Please ask your readers to pray for my wife and I. Our 20 year marriage is on the verge of divorce and besides ourselves, we have three young children who would be devastated if it were to happen. We are going for counseling this week and hoping for a good outcome. Thank you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Father, we ask that you would grant this marriage complete healing and restoration and that you would make this home a haven of love and healing for both husband and wife, for their children, and for others who come seeking the grace and hope of God for their marriages, through Christ our Lord. Mother Mary and St. Joseph, pray for them!<\/p>\n
