My husband accepted the Lord as His Personal Savior 5 months ago, he feels that his prayers has not answered. He decided to quit church. I have been in church more than 20 years. I know I have given him alot of Grace. It hasn't been easy on me and for my children. Is there any verses that you can share with me to build me up.

Proverbs 3:5,6 , also tell your husband that God answers prayer in his time and not in our time.

Pray for Him. The importance of things can e measured by how much time we are willing to invest in them. The more time you give something, the more you reveal its importance and value to you.
God is real no mater what we feel. The most common mistake Christians make in worshiping God today is seking the experience rather than seeking God. God is more ceoncerned that we trust him than that we feel him. During the times of spirtual dryness we must patiently rely on the promises of God, not our own emotions, and realize that He is taking us to a deeper level of maturity. We are as close to God as we choose to be.(James 4:8 )
In the Bible, the friends of God were honest aout their feelings, often complaining, second-guessing, accusing and arguing with their Creator. God, however, did not seem to be bothered by this frankness; in fact, He encouraged it. Genuine friendship is based of disclosure.
Ephesians 4:3
Ask him to be realistic in his expectations. When I joined to the church I am attending now regularly ( = every week ), the first couple of years I felt like a spiritual fake. Then I joined in to a women's Bibble study group and I invited the Holy Spirit in my heart. That made the difference for me.
Maybe he is not happy with the church. I love my church, I tried several before this one. Once you discover what God intends real fellowship to be, it is easy to become dscouragd by the gap between the ideal and real in your church. Yet we must passinately love the church in spite of its imperfections. Longing for the ideal while criticizing the real is evidence of immaturity. On the other hand, settling for the real without striving for the ideal is complecency. Maturity is to live with the tension.
It is likelythat we need to confess some hidden anger and resentment at God for certain areas of our life where we have felt cheated or disappointed. Until we mature enough to understand that God uses EVERYTHING for good in our lives, we harbor resentment toward God over our appearance, background, unanswered prayers, past hurts, and other things we would change if we were God. Everytime when we trust God's wisdom and do whatever He says, even when we do not understand it, we deepen our relationship/friendship with God. The more we become God's friend, the more we will care about the things He cares about. : )

Isaiah 48:17,18. Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer,
The Holy One of Israel: “ I am the LORD your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you by the way you should go. 18 Oh, that you had heeded My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, And your righteousness like the waves of the sea.
In order to ly help for the two of you to profit from what the Bible says, it would for the two of you to undertake a detailed study of the Bible as a couple. It can not only streghnthen you, but help your husband to understand such things as how to pray and be heard by God, his role as the head of the family, and how he can draw close to close to God and help his family to do so. His prayers will reflect a sincere desire to do this. These are prayers that God is pleased to answer. This in turn will help you to develop a deep respect for him and make Godly submission a joy. (Ephesians 6:22-33) Jehovah's Witnesses offer such Bible studies free of charge.

You should come to an accurate knowledge of the scriptures for yourself. It will strengthen you in times like these.
The most I can do without looking up 2 hours of scriptures is to encourage you to pray to Jehovah God through Jesus Christ and ask God to help you. Anything you ask according to His will he hears you.
If you call on Jehovah he will sustain you.
Please do not pray to Jesus. Jesus is not the hearer of prayers. He pointed us to Our Father to pray. Matthew 6:9
A wife is in subjection to her husband as long as the husbands law does not go against the laws of God.
Show your husband deep respect along with a quiet and mild spirit and you will be amazed at what you can accomplish.
If your mother gave you a recipe for fudge and it never came out right could the recipe be wrong
Could it be your religion is wrong?
You don't seem to know the scriptures. Ask God to help you with this also. Just because your family and friends go there doesn't make it approved by God.
He wants us to examine how we walk and how we talk. Are you talking to others about the Good News of the kingdom? It is soon to be the government rule for the earth. God has wanted us all under heavenly rule since the beginning. It will now come to pass.
Please pray and God will help you.
Remember this one thing....God knows what you are going through and if you are persecuted for righteousness sake He will save your tears in a skin bottle because He cares for you. He is waiting for you to talk to Him.

Good soldier of Jesus Christ
2Tm:2:1: Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2Tm:2:2: And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
2Tm:2:3: Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
2Tm:2:4: No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
2Tm:2:5: And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
2Tm:2:6: The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.
2Tm:2:7: Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
2Tm:2:8: Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
2Tm:2:9: Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
2Tm:2:10: Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
2Tm:2:11: It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
2Tm:2:12: If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
2Tm:2:13: If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

God answers all prayers. sometimes the answer is no for our own good. Just remind him of the times when your kids wanted something and he had to say no for their own good. Thats what a loving parent does

John 14:12-14
I am telling you the truth: whoever believes in me will do what I do-yes, he will do even greater things because I am ging to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask for in my name, so that the Father's glory will be shown through the Son. If you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it.

I st Peter 3---win him by your actions. Do not let him deter or determine you life in Jesus-pray with your children for his true salvation-Jesus by your precious blood set him and others free, bind satan and loose your Holy Spirit to bring conviction of sin and salvation. Amen
He seemingly never truely got saved -he went through the motions to make you happy about your marriage with him 6 months ago.
the biggest reason people chose to reject the teachings of Jesus is self chosen spiritual blindness
Share with my Jewish people Isaiah 52:13-53:12 Jesus pictured promised to die for ous sins
"He that rejecteth my words the same shall judge them in the last day." John 12:48
I prayed- "Jesus help me, come into my heart-I am sorry for my living against you and your word forgive my sins and be my friend, amen."
He said he would in Revelation 3:19&20 "I love you, repent from your sins, Behold I knock on your heart door to come in deliver you and be your friend if you ask me in."
NOw Jesus is my savior best friend, and messiah and life is grand, David. thanks good question..
praying the best for you-because you have it in Jesus -if he did it to get to your country-live for Jesus and help others come to Jesus and serve Him and fight to protect others from this and other deceptions of Satan our only enemy-but most important share the Gospel too.

Hebrews 10, Do not forsake the fellowship as some of you have been doing. (Paraphrase).
Is he involved in anything at church?
Does your family have it's own "ministry" that you do together?
DON"T nag him, but let him know that he IS THE priest (not catholic) of your family and will be held accountable.
