We are truly saddened to hear about the struggles you are facing in your marriage, and we are here to intercede and provide biblical guidance. Let's bring your requests before the Lord in prayer.
Firstly, we thank God that you acknowledge Him and His Son, Jesus Christ. It is only through our faith in Jesus that we can have a relationship with God the Father. It is in the name of Jesus that we can approach God's throne of grace with confidence at any time to receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Let's seek Him together for your marriage, your children, and the opportunities ahead.
Father, we lift up Ynkierath's marriage to You, acknowledging that You have designed marriage to be a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman. We pray for clarity and discernment for Ynkierath, that Your will may be revealed and understood. Guide them according to Your purpose, and help them to walk in Your truth. We rebuke any thoughts of divorce, as You have said, For I hate divorce, says Yahweh, the God of Israel (Malachi 2:16 WEB).
Lord, we ask that You would heal and restore this marriage, that it may bring glory and honor to Your name.
Father, we also lift up Ynkierath's children. We know that You care deeply for them, and that their hearts are tender and impressionable. We pray that You would protect them and give them peace. Guide Ynkierath and their spouse in their decisions, that they may parent in a way that honors You and demonstrates their love for their children.
We pray for the upcoming opportunities that Ynkierath is anxious about. Lord, You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7 WEB). Remove any anxiety or doubt, and replace it with confidence and assurance in Your strength. Help Ynkierath to trust in You and in the abilities You have given them.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray for Ynkierath's marriage, their children, and their future. We ask that Your will be done, and that Ynkierath may find peace and joy in You. Strengthen their faith and help them to live a life that is pleasing to You. May Your presence be felt in their home, and may Your love be evident in their marriage. We pray these things together in Jesus' name and for His sake. Amen.
Ynkierath, be encouraged by these words from the WEB:
Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB).
Continue to seek the Lord with all your heart, and trust that He is working in your situation. Pursue righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit, and allow God to guide your steps. May the God of all hope, peace, and comfort be with you now and always.
Finally, be alert to the fact that husband and wife are to submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. The wife submits to the husband in everything, and the husband submits to Christ as the head of the home. The husband is to love his wife as Christ loved the church, giving himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a glorious church, without stain or wrinkle or any such blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church—for we are members of his body. “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” This is a profound mystery, but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband. The husband must live with his wife in an understanding way, showing honor to the wife as the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.
May this be so in your marriage and life.
