a past article discussed the importance of praying for your spouse to come home after a long absence. This article will discuss additional ways to pray for your husband or partner to come home.
When a person is missing in action, they typically feel some sort of affection for that person. They wouldn’t want their husband or wife to go away, would they? As much as we would like them to return, we must remember that God may have another plan for them.
Some people who have disappeared went AWOL due to drugs or alcohol abuse. Since then, they have been diagnosed with drug and alcohol addiction and made promises from God that they would come back from those habits.
Others who have disappeared were sent away for reasons such as being drafted by a team, getting married before going on patrol, or becoming a parent. These people are now forced to say good-bye to family members and friends because they were sent away.

Come back to us
My husband has been gone for a few months now, and I’m getting ready to make the big wait until he comes home again. It’s been a long week of just waiting, and I’m starting to get nervous.
I have two young children myself, and they are getting tired. It is time for them to go to bed, so my prayer is that he returns as soon as possible.
I also pray that God will bring my husband home in His own time, and that He will keep him safe until He gets him back.
Many people ask how long it takes for someone to get back from military deployment, and some ask if it is possible for someone like my husband to come home early. Neither of those things are dependable though-departure can be sudden or scheduled, but coming home early or late is up to each person individually.
Pray that the Lord opens their eyes to their sin
They have been living their lives for what seems like years without ever seeing or understanding why they are miserable, what sin they are committing, or how they can be saved.
They have been ignorant of the truth and the Gospel for years. This has a negative effect on their faith, which is detrimental to their overall well-being.
If the husband has sinned against his wife before marriage, then she may not be 100% loyal to him after a period of time. This can lead to feelings of abandonment and grief.
Her family and friends may also stop trusting her because she was deceived by her husband’s sin. This can create a void that needs to be filled, eventually causing her pain and distress.
She may also feel ashamed and guilty about being deceived by her husband, which causes more pain and distress.
Ask the Fathers for forgiveness
Many times, spouses don’t ask the Father for forgiveness in our lives because we don’t believe in Him as our God.
If you haven’t asked the Father for forgiveness in your life, then now is the time to start. He is our Creator and God!
And He is the one who can forgive us (1 John 4:19).
If you have been forgiven by another person or group, then ask the fathers to be sure to include your husband in this process.
The father’s are a part of the forgiveness system, and if your husband has done something wrong, he needs to talk to them. Or maybe he has committed a sin that you have found out about, and you want him to face consequences for it.
Fathers are part of the system that can forgive people, so if your husband hasn’t faced enough consequences for his sin against you, then ask the fathers for a second chance.
Make amends for your sin
After you have made amends for your sin, you can start thinking about how you can help repair your relationship with your family and friends.
It’s important to continue to let yourself and your loved ones know that you are sorry for what you did and that you want to fix your relationship.
Your family and friends need to continue to trust that you are sorry, and that they can return a trusted friend.
Your family may need to forgive the same thing, depending on what level of sin their forgiveness depends on.
Your friends may need to forgive the same thing, depending on what level of sin their repentance depends on. Your spouse may need to forgive the rest of his or her friends, but not his or her family. This is because those friends didn’t come back in time to heal a broken marriage.
Come home and start living for your family again
Many people have lost their husband, husband-to-be, father, son, grandson, or loved one to cancer. Others have lost a spouse to cancer.
I believe that prayer for my husband to come home is a good way to start learning how to prayer for my husband to come home. As we learn more about what happens after death, we learn more about how to pray for things.
People often use the phrase “spirit returns” when talking about what happens after death. They use this phrase to emphasize how beautiful it is and how sacred it is. People also say that when this happens, you feel like you came back in a split second.
So, when looking for ways to pray for my husband and others who are suffering from cancer, doing the easy ones may not be enough. I suggest reading some books on heaven and praying for people there.
Talk to the priest about starting confession again
My husband has been accused of a crime. He is suspected of involvement in a sexual assault. He is being investigated as a suspect.
As his accused role model, the priest who started confession for him is now his priest. As a result, he has very strong faith in the church and its authorities.
He relies heavily on the priest for spiritual guidance, even though he knows he is not perfect and may have done something wrong. Even though he knows he will never face criminal prosecution, he still feels guilty.
Praying together with my husband has been a good way for us to talk about what happened and ask for forgiveness. The priest also offers forgiveness during confession, so we would not be excluding anyone if we were wrong.
Talk to your wife about coming back home
Having a husband who leaves and then not telling her he’s coming home is a sign of trouble. He probably needs to work on his communication skills.
You can talk to your wife about this as she’s getting ready to leave for work or as she’s returning home. Either way, you can ask for her help in this process. She may be able to help put the worries of daily life aside and help heal any wounds he may have from the past.
Prayer is an important part of this process. Pray that your husband will return home safely and that he will feel comfortable enough to contact you. Maybe he doesn’t feel like talking, but let him see that you are still very important to him. You are the one who took care of him while he was out and you are the only one who can do it again.
Seek spiritual guidance from your pastor or spiritual director
My husband is away for work most of the time. He is also a professional athlete, so you know how busy people can be.
So, I sought out his help in praying for my husband to return home safely. I asked that he seek out spiritual guidance from his spiritual director and from God’s word at this time.
I also asked that he take comfort in the knowledge that Jesus has anointed him with mighty miracles and that he will return home safely.
I believe this prayer helped my husband feel more secure in his faith and helped him feel less alone in his search, which may help him return home more quickly.
