Below are excerpts from a few of the testimonies we have received in the past week, each shared with the writer’s permission. These are not to tell you how to stand and what to do, but are given here to share how God moves when people are praying.
Do you have a testimony to share to encourage others?
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:39-31
“Recently, my wife and I met for dinner and we talked for hours. While we walked to our cars, I hugged her and she hugged me back. I asked if we could meet again as friends. She said ‘Okay, I’m good with that.’ Yesterday I emailed her and asked if she would be interested in meeting me at a local sports place to watch our favorite football team together. She replied she would love to and would let me know.” (New York)
“I am here by God’s grace to share praises. This year was our long-term anniversary. I do not call him my ex-husband. A few years ago, the ice began to melt, after all this time. My stand began several years ago. I met a woman in a grocery store parking lot who introduced me to RMM and the whole concept of standing. We only stayed in touch for a few months but standing has been a part of my life since then. My Father has proved Himself faithful at every turn. Each morning has brought with it new mercies. There’s no way I would still be here if not for His love.” (Texas)
Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” Lamentations 3:22-24
“God is working in my marriage. I am leaning on Him to not dwell on my wife’s choices, and I have hope. My friend referred me to this ministry and I have been praying every day for marriage restoration and my own. He is good and has never left me in the hardest season of my marriage.” (Kansas)
“Long story short, I was the prodigal for years, especially these last several years, and my wife was in her Bible and praying for me. Now she’s basically shut down, told me she’s unhappy with me, and took her ring off. The day after this happened, the Lord brought me to my knees and I surrendered my life to Him. I have been going strong ever since. Our kids, her parents, and everyone sees it, but she is mad at me and God. I am praying for both of us.” (Georgia)
“Be encouraged. We were married many years, divorced for several years, and my ex remarried. We have two adult kids and two grandkids. I connected with RMM several years ago. God began filling me with forgiveness and tenderness towards my ex. God restored communication after many years of silence. In the years following, our relationship was cordial. God began placing desires in my heart to have a deeper conversation. A few years ago, God allowed me to ask for his forgiveness for my part in the breakdown of our marriage. God begin nudging me to have a conversation with him about coming home. This was new territory. I have to admit I was a bit anxious asking God ‘What would I say?’ A few days before God provided that moment, the verse of the day/Bible app was Matthew 10:19-20, Amazing! His response wasn’t what I wanted to hear but…it was about God’s faithfulness. This summer I asked God to give me information when his circumstances were changing. I recently received information that he is separated/divorce in process. Thank you, Lord.” (Texas)
… do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.” Matthew 10:19-20
