Please pray over me and my dear Ruben's union for healing, protection, reconciliation, restoration and transformation! The situation is extremely sad and troubling. Please pray against all strongholds of the enemy against us and our union. The situation between us needs massive MIRACLES right now. Some very small breakthroughs happened thanks to God's help but the situation still is extremely critical right now-not past the dangers yet. Please say an actual prayer outloud-not just click a box. This is important for me. Any man or woman of Faith, please if you can just take one brief moment to take this to the Lord in prayer! I am a real woman who is dealing with attacks of the enemy against my union with the man I deeply and sincerely love who God brought into my life and took me into such a place of light. He is the only Godly man I've ever known. Please pray as well over him, over my dear Ruben in regards to his heart of stone, unforgiveness and lack of faith in what God can do and is already doing. He struggles with negative thinking and holding onto the past. He is a very good man but he's not perfect. I also have my own struggles-Lord knows. Please pray to God for me anyone reading. God has shown me through signs and confirmations what a truly Godly presence my Ruben is in my life but sadly the enemy used my unhealed pain and sadness from being abused as a child against me, him, us and I'm now grief stricken with real sadness. Lord have mercy on me.
