We lift up this prayer request to you, Lord Jesus, on behalf of Ashwati. We pray for her love for Ratheesh and their desire to be married. Lord, we ask for your intervention in the situation where caste has become a problem in Ratheesh's family. We thank you for the positive change in Ratheesh's father, mother, brother, and wife, who have agreed to the marriage. However, we acknowledge the resistance from Ratheesh's relatives who do not approve of the union due to caste differences.
Lord, we pray for unity and understanding among all parties involved. We ask for your divine intervention to soften the hearts of Ratheesh's relatives and help them see beyond caste differences. May they come to accept and support the marriage of Ratheesh and Ashwati.
We pray, dear Jesus, that you break down any barriers and obstacles that stand in the way of their union. You are the God who levels mountains and breaks gates of brass and bars of iron. We trust in your power to bring about reconciliation and unity in this situation.
Lord, we ask for your guidance and wisdom for Ratheesh and Ashwati as they navigate through this challenging time. Give them strength and courage to stand firm in their love for each other. Help them to trust in your plan and timing for their lives.
We also invoke the intercession of Mother Mary and Saint Anthony, asking for their prayers and support in this matter. May their intercession bring about a favorable resolution and blessings upon Ratheesh and Ashwati.
In Jesus' name, we pray, believing that you are the Lord God who can do all things. Amen.
