Does Prayer help?

Question

I have been divorced from my wife for two years. She is now in a serious relationship with someone. I am still madly in love with her. I have been praying that she come back to me. Will prayers help me?

Answer 1

NO. If she is with someone else then move on with your life and find someone else.

Answer 2

Some things are just meant to be regardless of prayer. Being that you're obviously religous, you should know that God has a plan for everyone. I myself am not too religous although my parents are, and they really stick to the belief that along with having faith, prayer works. In your situation, you need to just let your ex wife be. As sad as it is, you two are divorced for a reason and maybe it's for the best. If she has found happiness with someone else, you need to just accept that and let the healing process on your end begin. You also deserve happiness and need to let go of the life and woman you used to have. You can continue praying but I am not too sure that your prayer is going to be answered in the way YOU want it to be answered.

Answer 3

Pray will help, but will prayer put into action what you want? I will tell you to not let her go until God releases you from her. That will only happen by continual prayer and being around other strong and holy believers. It is good to have others around you who will give you support and help you to pray for this situation. God will not force His will on someone necessarily even if you are praying. That is why sometimes we pray and pray, but it seems like we do not get the end result we were looking for.



Let me tell you what happened in my life regarding my wife leaving and prayer. I was madly in love with my wife. I had a strong relationship with Jesus too. When my wife took off with my son I was dumbfounded. I couldn't believe it. I was shocked. I should not have been. When I look back I can see things I did wrong and would have done differently now. I was however so desperate for her to come back. I was never so close to God praying as when my wife decided to leave me. I was in tears before God every moment. I did all I knew and prayed so hard. I had our pastor that married us involved, I had other praying, I went to counseling with my wife. In the end after about 7 or 8 months of the separation and her still being intent on divorce, God released me from her. From the start, biblically I was released from her due to her unfaithfulness, but I still had to wait for me to feel a peace about letting her go from God.



So going back to your question, will prayer help each other? Yes. Will it enable you both to get back together? That question, only God knows the answer to. There is so much more I could say about how God worked through my prayer, but that would go on forever. I do now have a prayer website and many people pray for each other dealing with relationships. I pray for each one personally and care for everyone there. If you want prayer over your situation go to http://PrayersOnline.net



Jesus, I come to You and ask that You work in guy's life. Touch his wife. Grant him peace and use him supernaturally for Your glory. I ask that you would work on his wife's heart to go back to her husband. Through this time of heartache bring others into his life to support him more and pray over his life. I speak blessing over him and his future. Draw him closer to You. Help him to hear Your perfect voice. Enable him to be a blessing to others in need from his testimony through this trial. Be his hope today. In Your perfect name I pray, Jesus, Amen.



I wish you all of God's best and I will keep you in prayer.

Answer 4

Why would you pary for God to bring someone back that doesn't love you the way you love her. Say God says ok if she doesn't love you how long would she stay would you ever get a chance to be really happy no you wouldn't Thats why God probably won't let this happen because if she loved you back the same amount she would already be there and he knows you would be happier with someone that does! Your only hurting yourself let go and trust God a no answer is not bad he is a lot smarter than us.

Answer 5

It can help if you have enough Faith. I know everything happens for a reason. I am currently separated from my hubby. We've been together for about 5 years now and I can't be without him. Neither can he. But drama and in-laws got involved and this is how we ended up. But I prayed every night to get one more chance to talk to him, and well he called me and said he wants to meet up with me to talk, to see if we can work things out because he still loves me and can't stop thinking about me. So if it was meant to be for you and your ex-wife then you two will come back together. If not, then just stay friends, and who knows what might happen in the future.

Answer 6

Well I believe prayer helps so much because a conversation with our Creator!! You also need to ask him if it is His will for you two to be together; some times God's answer is NO but is for our own well being os ask Him what is the purpose for your life I wish I could tell you that He is going to bring her to you but He is God and He is the one with the power.

Answer 7

Prayer works. God sometimes doesnt Give us things we think we need, he Knows best .



Im going through the same thing about getting over an ex -get yourself busy & make friends ! Im serious & you better do it ! (Im talking to myself as well)Join a club , get a hobbie , go exercising make a list of things you have always wanted to do . Improve yourself & meet new women.

I bet your ex wife must love the fact you cant get over her & that you are still madly in love with her . Ignore her if you are showing her attention & stop being her doormat.



I need to tell you .

God loves you .

John 3 :16 For God so loved the world that he Gave his Only begotten Son , that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life .



He wants you to go to Heaven but you need to admit you are a sinner

"For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God"

"For the wages of Sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life though Jesus Christ our Lord ."

God Promises He will save anyone who calls on HIm to save them

" For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved"



After you have asked Jesus to save you & forgive your sins . Read Your Bible everyday & Pray to God . ( reading your Bible is God talking to you (KJV only)

Go to church .. a good Baptist church



IM not sure if things will work out with your ex, but you can have a Home in Heaven & a best friend ( Jesus) To help you through life Journey ... you dont have to go alone anymore

Answer 8

Prayers and also knowing why she left in the first place... If she has a relationship you should move on... maybe God has someone waiting for you.

Answer 9

Yes, pray can move mountains. Anything is possible. If God has plans for you to be together, than it will be. If not, don't let it deter you. It just means that you're meant to do something else in your life.



God bless and I hope it works out.

Answer 10

Prayers always help. God always answers, but sometimes the answer we get is not the answer we want. Don't try to hold on when God is telling you to let go.

Answer 11

You really need to let her go. You two are divorced. That means your separation is finalized. Why don't you instead pray for God to have you meet someone else?
