Prayer request Prayers for my husband and family

a virtuous woman

Hello, my husband is a disabled veteran because he had PTSD and is schizoaffective bipolar. Most of the time he handles things better than most and is a great leader of the family, but he has been dealing with a lot of stress recently. Back in September, we added another Wife to the family and her daughter from a previous marriage. It has been great and a blessing, but like any new addition it adds stress as everyone adjusts to the change. Then I had a baby about three weeks ago and we had a home birth. Everyone is still adjusting to that addition. On top of that, I am trying to adjust to having a newborn and a four year old who needs momma. My four year old has HIE, which causes seizures and cerebral palsy. Both of my sister wives have stresses of their own including one who is in a doctoral program, while having to run a business that co-own. Also, events have been occuring to trigger our husband to feeling like he is overwhelmed and can't cope. Can you please pray for our husband and family. My husband has also had thoughts of suicide. Thank you.
 
It takes a lot of bandwidth to handle all of of that.
I pray that he is able find what he needs.
 
In the midst of such turmoil I've found the words of e.g. Psalm 70 strengthening and a comfort. The Psalm begins; v:1, Make haste, O God, to deliver me! Make haste to help me, O Lord!
And it concludes; v:5, But I am poor and needy; Make haste to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O Lord, do not delay.

It seems the need is urgent so, like David, I pray the Lord would not delay in providing help. Shalom.

I will pray for you and your family and tomorrow night I will ask the prayer warriors in my church women's group to pray for you!
 
Just reading this...crazy season of life for sure. Will be praying for your husband, and the rest of your family.
