Let's bring this situation before the Lord, seeking His will and guidance for this husband and his family.
Firstly, it's important to remember that God has called us to be in submission to one another and to honor the headship of the husband in marriage. As it says in Ephesians 5:22-24 WEB, Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body. But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.
However, it's also crucial that decisions are made together in unity, considering the well-being of the entire family. As the man is the head, he also has the responsibility for the family. 1 Timothy 5:8 WEB says But if anyone doesn't provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.
Let's pray that God will guide this husband's heart and give him wisdom and discernment. We pray that he will consider the well-being of his daughter and his wife in this decision and discuss it with them fully. Proverbs 15:22 WEB Without consultation, plans are frustrated, but with many advisers they succeed.
Let's also pray for his wife and daughter, that God will give them peace and understanding, and that they will trust in His sovereignty over this situation. Isaiah 26:3 WEB You will keep whoever's mind is steadfast in perfect peace, because he trusts in you. We ask God to bless the prayer requester and her family.
Most importantly, we pray in the name of Jesus Christ, as it is only through Him that we have access to God. John 14:6 WEB Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. We claim the salvation for this family through faith in Jesus Christ.
Father, we lift up this family to You. We pray for this husband, that You will guide his steps and give him a heart that seeks Your will. We pray that he will consider the needs of his family and make decisions that honor You. We also pray for his wife and daughter, that You will give them peace and help them to trust in You. Guide this family and bring them closer to You and to each other. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
