One night I was crying and begging God to let me know what to do in my marriage. I was sitting in front of my computer and felt led to look for help. I came across your web site, and it was my answer. I love so much what you are doing. Thank you God for sending me here. Your web site has taught me a lot and has led me to pray for my spouse. He decided yesterday to put his ring back on, and to come home. He has slowly been getting closer to me and the kids. He agreed to counseling. God has been so faithful. A small group I am in at church has told me the change they have seen in my faith. Praise God again. He is the only way out of the misery this world brings. I hope that anyone who doesn't want to forgive or forget, or is crying in misery will remember Jesus. He is the way maker. I wish I would have realized this sooner." (Indiana)
"I prayed for my husband to be changed, but I forgot to pray for change in myself. I was still so hurt and angry. Our divorce became final last summer and I finally let go of my anger and pain. When I changed God worked His miracle and my husband came home a few months after our divorce. We are so much happier than before." (New York)
“I thank the Lord for doing a mighty work in my marriage. I found your web site and have been blessed and encouraged not to give up on my marriage. My spouse was unfaithful last year and I forgave him and he stayed in the marriage. He is a unbeliever. I'm praying for him daily. We have been married almost 13 years. Without God's divine healing and hand in our lives we would not have stayed together. Today I can say I love my spouse and He has chosen to love and take care of me and our kids. He chose not to leave me too. Our relationship is healing and we are closer to each other and working on our marriage. I'm trusting Jesus everyday and I'm walking by faith and not by sight. I love the Lord and praise Him for what He is doing in my spouse's life and mind. Thank You Jesus because I have prayed and chosen not to give up and to see that the Lord is faithful and hears our prayers.” (Hawaii)

"My prodigal spouse left to live in the far country with the other woman. He called me at work yesterday and asked if I still wanted him to come home. He was outside our apartment building with his car packed. Months ago I had tied a yellow ribbon around the door knob, which he noticed immediately. I believe that knowledge, prayer and thanks to God brought him home. I also kept my lips zipped sharing the information only with my prayers partners. I know this will be a long road, but we agree the Lord has to be our center. Praise God." (California)
Charlyne, I must admit that the peace I have is because I began to pray and trust my Lord. I asked God to do His will and to help me. I needed to trust that God was going to do His will and I somehow knew that my husband was going to give our marriage a chance.

"The principles I've learned from the beginning of my stand are foundations for faith in my walk with God, even after my husband's return home. His time away was spiritual boot camp for me.

"I did not know how else to share the GREAT NEWS that My prodigal husband came home, so I am taking this opportunity to share and encourage others. First I want to give thanks to God and to Rejoice Ministries for allowing the Holy Spirit to use you in a mighty way. I have been a stander for two years and needless to say, I had some battles to fight and mountains to climb. The awesome thing about it all however was all my struggles was with ME! Although my husband was involved in a affair, God through His Word got me to focus on Him rather than on my marital problems and that in turn changed me! My husband kept calling repeatedly letting me know how he knows he made a mistake and that his life is a mess and how did he get here. The hard part was listening to him about the feeling he has for the other person. The best part was him telling me how at peace he felt talking to me. God gave me such a spirit of peace and strength to hear him and not get upset and react and speak out of anger Praise be to God. I went to Texas to help him pack and bring him home where we are currently residing and rebuilding. Please continue to pray for us. May God continue to bless you and your ministry." (New Jersey)

"God does answer our prayers. I divorced my husband. I believed everyone when they said he would never change and I even gave up on waiting for God to work in his life. I loved him and so wanted for our marriage to work. We dated and made a few attempts in ourselves to try to pull things together again. These failed miserably. God sent a friend my way. She introduced me to your ministry.With God's help, her prayers, and your daily encouragement, I began my stand for the restoration of my marriage and my husband to Christ. my husband had a heart attack and our circumstances seemed evenmore serious. Two weeks ago, my husband moved out of the situation he was in. He is now situated in our home and soon I will be situated there also. We have a long road ahead and thank God for your book‘Standing after the Prodigal returns' Had I not have read this, our first two weeks would probably have already been miserable. iinstead Ihave been able to deal with these issues in a different light and pray through a lot of them. I thank God daily for bringing us back together and know that soon my husband will again be the man of God he is meant to be." (Oklahoma)

“Praises to God, I returned home to my wife after being a prodigal. I thank God that she was a stander and had faith that God was the redeemer of our marriage. I knew who God is, but on my own accord, I decided to live the lifestyle that I wanted to live. I was being led by Satan to believe that God would forgive me for leaving my spouse, and bless me with the other woman. How mistaken I was. God placed all kind of obstacle in the path of my defying His word. Thank You, God, for my wife and thank You for giving me another chance.” (Louisiana)

We are back on the right track and God is the only One who made it happen. He will perform miracles for those who love Him and believe in His greatness. Thank You Jesus.” (Vermont)
"My husband left and was out of control. I got clean and found this ministry. I lived by it daily. I knew God would bring him. Two years ago, my husband hit a tree on his motorcycle was in a coma for months, but with God’s grace and help, I foght for his life. I knew if he died he would not go to Heaven. I held on with God and my husband is alive. He is home learning to walk and talk and love. I wasn’t expecting God to bring him home like this.

Praise God my prodigal is on his way home. " (California)
