I pray for my husband’s ex-wife and her mother every day. Sounds silly I suppose, but I do. They do not want Christ to be a part of their lives, but this is the mother of one of the most incredible little boys on this earth. So, I suppose it is more for the sake of my step–son than it is for them that I pray.
My husband’s ex was on meth when they split and the choices she made during that time make it hard for him to pray for her. He does though, in spite of how hard it is. It is a simple prayer right now, one of just save her Lord. I though find myself spending sometimes 5 minutes or more of my prayer time every morning in prayer for her, begging God to give her every chance possible, open every door imaginable, bringing many people in to her life that love her and God. I beg God to not give up on her. I pray that he does whatever it takes for her to fall before him praising him as her Lord and Savior. I just don’t know that she will make that choice.
It is strange, one day on the bus on my way to work I found myself praying for the person that was behind me. They were having a very loud conversation on the bus that made it evident they wanted nothing to do with God. In praying for him I received this deep peace that I just knew he was going to chose God someday. I don’t have that peace with my husband’s ex, but I want it.
For now I will just pray.
