A Message From Dr. Ellen
You may consider it to be a little strange to find a web site that has an area about prayer when you are looking for help with your marriage. I
hope that I can convince you how important it is, not only for you
listen to my life-changing marriage counseling and relationship programs, but also for you to pray during
this difficult time and have as many other people pray for your marriage or relationship as well.
That is exactly why I created this part of my website. People from all
over the world will be praying for your marriage or relationship, and any problems you
are having with your spouse or partner. After you read what I have to say about the
importance of prayer, you can add your name, your spouse or partners name and a
brief description of what you would like our prayers to help you
accomplish.
My own story
as a 3 time breast cancer survivor is a testament as to how powerful
collective prayer can be. I feel that prayer is one of the main reasons
I sailed through a bone marrow transplant 15 years ago and just recently
helped me through my latest battle, so that I could go back to doing
what I do best, helping people with their relationships and saving
marriages.
Because prayer has so deeply affected my life, I decided to have a place
on my website where you too could have thousands of people praying for
your marriage. Can you image how powerful that
will be for you and what it will mean for the future of families
everywhere?
When Dionne Warwick sang the words, "I say a little prayer for you" in her
1960's hit song, she probably didn't think that those words would become
the study of serious science. But increasingly, scientists are studying
the power of prayer and how it really does make a difference in healing.
Although most of us, who believe in the power of prayer, do not require
physical proof that it works, I still think that you'll still find it
interesting to read some of the scientific studies that have been done to prove that prayer can dramatically change
a person's life.
If you would like to be included in our prayers, simply click on the "Prayer Request" box below. Make sure you put in your real
first names and then a brief description of your situation. After all, if you are not truthful about who you are and do not have a
clear picture of what you want our Prayer Angels to pray for, then how can your prayers be answered? Please limit the length of your
request to a few lines.
It usually takes at least 24 hours to add your prayer to our
Prayer Request List, so please come back and make sure you have been included on the list.
Your prayers will be kept on our site for 60 days and then moved to an
archived file. If your prayers have been answered, I would love to hear
from you. Please email me at Prayers@lightyourfire.com and we will post your success on the site. For those of you, who do not think that God is answering your prayers, please click here on Unanswered Prayers to read an inspirational story of why that may be happening at
this point in your life.
I am hoping that many of you, who are making prayer requests, will also
become Prayer Angels and help others by praying for them. Prayer is a
pure and unselfish act that blesses those you pray for as well as
yourself. It unites us all at the deepest level.
It doesn't matter how much time you can devote to praying for the
requests on this site. Some of you can pray for a few minutes each day,
others can devote a few minutes each week. Regardless of the amount of
time that you are able to commit to, when you pray for a miracle in
someone else's life, you will become more aware of the many miracles in
your own life. A simple prayer that takes a few minutes of your time,
may alter someone's life forever. Luciano De Crescenzo, a Roman Poet,
once wrote, "We are each of us angels with only one wing and we can only
fly by embracing one another." Please join me in embracing all those
that need your prayers. Help me build a world wide team of Prayer Angels
who want to make a difference in the lives of others. If this is
something you want to commit to, please take a moment and sign up as a
Prayer Angel by clicking on the "Become a Prayer Angel" box below.

I put my husband second working full time and raising 3 great kids. I thought my husband would love and respect me for being a good mom and helping with the finances. Instead, he felt rejected and told me he didn't love me. That was my wake up call. I now realize how much he means to me and how wrong I was to not put our marriage first. I have been putting into place the suggestions Dr. Ellen recommends. I was so excited to hear the tapes and was filled with optimism. So far, no response. I feel like he sees me as the enemy. He can't forgive me. Please pray for us. | | |

My wife has told me that she no longer has feelings for me and asked for a divorce. After I moved out, we spent several weekends together and several times she said that she has made a mistake. She should not feel this good and then she asks me to leave. I have a issue with money now due to the state of the country. She is in better shape. I think her boys are helping push her. I want her to let me make this up to her. | | |

Ben & I have been married for 33 years. About 13 years ago, Ben had a job that demoralized him daily from which he has never recovered. I asked him many times to quit that job but he would not. I have had to work through a lot of bad things in my life as well. Right now, I can't imagine Ben ever recovering himself without the help of God. He used to be full of wonder! | | |

Please pray for my wife to see the Light between us, to stop the divorce now, and to be together again this summer and blossom like a beautiful field of flowers and green forest. I know there is still Light for us. I would give my life for my wife and our little daughter. | | |

We are going through a dark time in our marriage that only God can get us through. I need my husband to see the 'true' me and accept me. I've admitted my faults and want to move forward with full faith we both want the same. I need him to believe in me as I need to also believe in myself. I want the Lord to help me trust in him and give me the strength to overcome these dark days in our marriage. | | |

Jan says he loves me but will be leaving me. He has been seeing someone else for two years now. He has noticed a huge difference in my behaviour (I have been doing the 180) but refuses to stay. I know we can work things out and I can't understand why he won't even try. Every day is a living hell for me. Please pray that my husband will see what he has here and will decide to stay. | | |

Please pray for my marriage. My wife is leaving and has giving up. This is my 2nd marriage and we haven't even made it to our one year anniversary. This is a blended marriage and she is so full of anger and will not find forgiveness in her heart. I have made mistakes and pray and ask God to show me his way and guide me. I know I am a sinner and I am looking to God for direction. | | |

For Jason to have a change of heart. He has walked out of the marriage and us, threatening a divorce. We have two children who have been through so much. Their biological dad is a drug addict and not in their life. Jason is their adopted father. He wants a divorce now and isn't communicating with me. Please pray that God heals my marriage and changes my husband's heart. | | |
