I want prayer for my marriage. I have known my husband for about 9 years. We were nrighbors which soon led to a friendship throughout the years. he was very different. People were scared of him because of he violent passed he had led and his upbringing. Throughout the years our friendship grow that led to a dating relationship. It was difficult in the beginning but we evenetually got married. Still our marrgaie struggled. His anger, jealousy, insecurity, his rage, he even attempted suicide. I still stood by his side and did not abandon him. His family was not close to him and he was and still is the "black sheep" of the family. He started saying things about knowing believing in God and spiting on pictures of Jesus. After so much of this I finally left him. We were split up for 2 months with no contact. He tracked me down and talked it over which eventually led to us reuniting. He has changed so much. He stopped drinking. He started going to church. He would even stand up in church and recite bible verses. Alot of people were shocked at his changed even his family since he was a reformed gang member. But that made it that much difficult because it was his own family that would not support him in his decision on changing. They'd make fun of him and want him to be the big bad guy that every one is scared of. He has started drinking again and left our home. I love him dearly and I ask God to take care of him and keep him safe. He is my husband. But his family doesn't want him to change since they can not control him that way. He wants to feel needed by them so he listens to them and they in return use him. I ask for prayer for my marriage. I don't want him doing something that he'll regret and suffer the consequences.

Both of you must surrender these things to GOD. Our present manifestations are not indications of what is to come. They are the result of not surrendering to GOD. As long as your husband puts his family and their opinions above GOD, then trouble will persist. Notice how the same cycle is continuing. This is a clear indication that GOD is not being put first and control over your lives is still being held by you 2. You cannot control what your husband does or what decisions he makes. You can and should give GOD control over this situation and all of your life. HE has given you eternal life. We can't repay that. There's no way. But certainly we should trust in our GOD who has given us this gift, yes? How many times must we see the dysfunctional endings to situations that we try to control? How many times will we allow ourselves to make our decisions based on what the world is saying? GOD, we need you!

I recommend spending time and seeing if you are in the right place regarding your salvation.
Do you know for sure that you are going to be with GOD in Heaven?
If GOD were to ask you, "Why should I let you into My Heaven?" what would you say?
We can't expect GOD to lead us if we haven't accepted HIM and the sacrifice HE made for our sins.
