ORIGINAL: peaceofGod
Father,
Please help Matt to cope well regarding this counseling situation. Give him the words to say in the assignment that he has to write about the session. Help Matt and ppodmama financially so that they will have no problem in making the mortgage payments. Cause one piece after another of the puzzle to fall right into place. We pray for them in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Father,
I join peaceofGod in this prayer for ppodmama and her husband.
Lord, please provide a breakthrough in this mess according to
Your Perfect Will. Help them and bless them abundantly.
In Jesus' name,
Amen.

Matt and I will be working on his "assignment" tonight. Pray again that his words find favor with the counselor...we want the stress of this and the time he has to no choice but to give to finish asap.
Pray over our time. Matt is obligated to 150 service hours and this counseling. One of the things we determined caused Matt's burnout was not being able to rest enough...so this on top of all the other imposed burdens could cause him undo stress..And it creates worry and concern on my part.
Pray for our finances. I looked at our budget and our legal expenses and other things are making us live on less $ than we have had to since we were first married (we had $15 for 2 weeks to spend for food in our honeymoon days...I guess we literally lived on love (and grace!) This is scary to me. I do sense God saying He has it covered, but when I look at the coming months and Christmas and the things we have to pay like taxes and all of that I get obsessed and afraid and feel like I don't know how we will make ends meet in the future....pray that I could just live in the moment unworried....beyond unworried to confident....so that I won't be afraid to buy Christmas gifts for the kids and stuff like that...It's got to where I feel afraid every time I go to the grocery store and things like that.
Pray all those we owe money too, including our mortgage, continue to show us grace and allow our payment plans. Thanks.
Pray for our peace for this weekend...more on that later.

Oh (((ppodmama)) if only we all could do that.
Father it is easy to see how overwhelming things can become for this family. The false accusation alone would be enough but the domino effect of it seems just too much to bear. I know, Lord, you will see them through this. Give them the words they need to use, Lord, to get through this assignment. How do they lie, Father? Could you please make it clear to them how to approach this. Lord I know you will find a way.

Please pray Matt's mens group from church would be able to strengthen and encourage him, would really reach out to him.
Wrote Matt's assignment out. It went good. Please pray again that his words find favor with his counselor and that they would lead to his getting finished with counseling by Christmas.
My heart is so broken for Matt. He talks about having to live with this every day. I so wish he could feel freedom. He was so honest about what happened to his detriment. If he had lied this would probably have gone nowhere. I so wish for him to feel free again. I am doing my best to not feel sad for him, as he said it pains him even more then.
Pray the sadness we feel before matt has to go to meetings with his p.o. and counseling will disappear. Ask God to provide encouragement and that we can be an encouragement to each other as well.
Please pray that he is protected always from anymore harmful lies.
We are having an overnight alone on Saturday. Pray we can have some fun and that it would be stress free. Thank You all so much.
You are the only ones I can be this honest with outside my husband and I cherish you all so much. We'd be lost but for you and your prayers.

Take all sadness from Matt and ppodmama. Let them enjoy each other and their family and leave their troubles to you.
I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]
JOHN 16:33

Father,
I lift up all of ppodmama's concerns to Your Throne of Grace and ask for Your favor on their lives.
Comfort both of them, give them strength to do all that is required, and help this marriage and their
love for You and for each other become stronger than ever. Protect them from the evil one and
bind him so that he cannot cause problems for them in any way.
I pray in Jesus' name,
Amen.

Pray Matt's meeting with his p.o. tomorrow goes as fast as all the others and there is not a single problem at all of any kind and the enablement to shake off any bad emotions from it quickly.
Please also pray that all our creditors work with us. I am calling some this week. Pray they find our payment arrangements acceptable and that we are not in danger of losing our house. Pray they would be very kind and understanding.
We also have had just about every appliance in the house (oven, dishwasher, wash machine) either break down or not work right. I can only do a soak and spin on the wash machine, only the stovetop works on the range and the dishwasher is completely shot. Pray we can find used reliable replacements for dirt cheap. We did find a dishwasher for very cheap we will be picking up next weekend. That's so nice as I have a daycare and am doing dishes constantly.
Thank you for your continued prayers.

Just when you think you can start to feel better....WHAM! Matt is being subjected to another humiliation via his p.o. I can't even write about it and am crying right now.
When will the accuser be found out??!!! The horrible things she has brought upon us...I am so broken about it,..just so broken.

I still can't bring myself to talk about what will happen. Please pray that it is over very quickly on Saturday, (9 a.m.) and that we can move on from it fast so we can have a good day after it's done. It is our dear son Ian's birthday this weekend.
The reason I want a counselor...I know this is going to sound bad, but it appears to get anyone who will be able to handle me being honest about my emotions and to not be told trite phrases like "God is in control" or freak people out, and to find someone whom I can trust is sadly to pay someone.
Everyone around us wants us to put on a happy face, remember it could be worse and blah, blah, blah....that to me is nuts. Doesn't anyone around us understand how absolutely awful this thing is???????? I guess the short answer is nope.
I wish I lived near those of you who pray for me so I could run to you for a hug or a time of prayer together.
How can anyone understand how lonely this is unless they are a paid professional I guess.
Well, I suppose if nothing else, most people, except those with dying or ill loved ones can look at what we are going through and praise God it isn't them in our shoes.
Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful ,God, it isn't worse. Thank You. I just don't know if I will ever have peace here on this earth again.

Father,
Although we know you are good, we don't exactly see good triumphing over evil in this case but please make it so. Cause the truth to win. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ for your intervention. Amen.

O Lord,
Please comfort Your children who are suffering so much. Be with them, give them encouragement,
help them to continue on through this nightmare with You by their side. Let them feel Your Love
surrounding them, and more than anything help them trust and rest in You. There is no good
explanation for why this is happening, but I ask that You increase their faith and help them,
as Jim says, triumph over evil. Bind the evil one so that he cannot cause more problems for them.
In Jesus' name,
Amen.

pray for God to be in the words Matt uses in his assignment.
pray Matt continues to find favor in the eyes of all he comes into contact with.
I guess I will get even more specific about what we need prayer for.
Because this thing is all a load of baloney (putting it nicely) we have developed a serious mistrust of authority and most people.
Just the mere presence of a police car can send us into a tailspin emotionally and nausea and anxiety arise.
Every meeting matt must have with his p.o. leaves me feeling this way.
I mean a lie caused all of this, and no one cared to find out the truth who had the power to change it. Now with someone on the side of the enabling authorities it's hard to every feel "safe".
That's just the beginning. After stuff I'm reading I think we may be suffering with something like post traumatic stress or something similar.
The stigma of this kind of thing, even though none of it is true, also has kept us from being able to tell many people. We suffer from fear of people we know finding out and another suffering blow. We are pretty much deal with reality people, so keeping things secret is AWFUL.
Since Matt and I know what we are facing we lean on each other, but it gets hard because neither one of us wants to make the other hurt if they don't need to and no one else understand...ah,...I feel like I'm babbling....
pray as you feel led, but most of all please join me in begging God to never let anything like this happen to us again and that we can make it through this all and that one day, Matt will be exonerated.

Father,
Thank you for being faithful. Please give Matt the words for his assignment. Give him favor in the eyes of his PO. Give him favor in the eyes of all whose decisions can affect his life. Have mercy on ppodmama and Matt. Please vindicate him of all false accusations, suspicions and convictions according to your wisdom. We pray for them in the name of our Lord and Savior who is your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.

First, something happy to praise God for...One of my daycare sons had to get a shot today. While he was gone, our son said to his other daycare buddies " Let's pray for Austin. He's getting shots" and he led them in prayer....It was Awesome! Heavenly Father, thank You for having our son as one of Your in Heaven and on Earth and that he has such a faith and trust in You that he will come to you for things like this. Thank you for his heart of compassion and care. Bless him to always care for others this way and to be prompted to pray over everything. Thank You for the gift of him in our lives. Amen.
I am so nervous and scared about tomorrow. I know it is probably stupid but I cashed my husbands work check so I would have $$ in case something bad happens.
Our state passed a new law that even people with misdemeanors have to have their DNA registered and when he went into his p.o. this week Matt was told that and given paperwork for it. We went right back to square one...fear, not trusting anyone on that side, being in the system that could make mistakes, or not care about the truth...you see where I am going with that.
That is our appointment for tomorrow at 9 a.m. and of course, you have to go to the jail for that "procedure"....so the panic emotions are surfacing...it would be nice if you could just do it at the po office, but NO.
When things like this come up I do not feel good until they are over. Matt is the same way.
So pray for our peace tonight...i feel like crying again...and for this to be over in less then 1/2 hour tomorrow. Not sure that's realistic,because we don't know how many there will be, but the sooner we get out of the jail the better. Pray we can shake it off right away and that laughter replaces the pain somehow. More than anything pray NOTHING bad happens from all this.
