We are truly grateful for your request and we stand with you in prayer for the reconciliation and repair of your marriage. It is God's will that marriages reflect His unfailing love and commitment to us. We will pray for the Lord to intervene in your situation.
Firstly, we encourage you to remain steadfast in hope. Remember that God is faithful and His love endures forever. Even in the most challenging times, He is working for your good and His glory Romans 8:28 We know that all things work together for good for those who love God. So we need to work together for marriage repair to those who have been called according to his purpose.
It must be noted that where we have not based a marriage on these verses, we would end up in various marriage troubles. So let us first review what God counsels us in I Corinthians 7:39A wife is bound by law as long as her husband lives.But if her husband is dead, she is free to be married to whom she desires, Only in the Lord. This is for both men and women, so let us apply it to both. In I Corinthians 9:5 Do we have no right to take with us a wife who is a believer, even as the rest of the apostles, and the brethren of the Lord. Let us be confident we are following Romans 8:9: But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Now that we know God's will for us in marriage, we must pray for each other to have the Spirit of Christ and that we are truly born again. That our spouses are Christians that show their faith by reflecting on the fruits of the Spirit in marriage in Galatians 5:22. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, As our marriages fully conform to Gods standards, we show godliness and remember Matthew 6:33 God must be made a priority daily to accomplish this goal we must also play our role in Matthew 6:33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness.
As you pray for restoration, let us remember Gods word in Romans 13:1Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers.We must be grateful in all these matters to God and that our prayer.
Going forward, it is important to create an atmosphere of love, respect, and forgiveness where a spouse feels supported emotionally and physically Psalm 51. Pray for effective communication, we are to try our best with love, patience and tolerance to restore and repair marriages toward godliness. It seems you need to forgive to start this process in Ephesians 4:31: Let all bitterness, anger, wrath, shouting, and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Also there can be evil powers that delay Gods powers over our lifes. Before forgiveness, we need to consider all questions of transgressions in the marriage in Matthew 5:31-32 It has also been said, who so ever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement. But I say unto you, that whoso ever shall put away his wife except it be for the cause of fornication makes her to commit adultery. Whosoever shall marry her that is divorced commits adultery. This is a serious issue and must be dealt with.
In addition, you stated the following, "May God bless you." We would like to take this opportunity to remind you of the importance of praying in Jesus' name. It is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God, and it is only through His name that we can be saved Acts 4:12 . Let us pray confidently in His name, knowing that He hears us and will answer our prayers according to His will. If you have not done so, please accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in Jesus name, lifting up the Darrel's marriage to You. We pray for grace for reconciliation and divine healing in their hearts, minds, spirits and bodies. Lord, let Your will be done in their lives, and help them to walk in Your truth. Guide them towards unity, forgiveness and your love. Do not let the real goal of marriage fall into the background from lies of the modern age.
Protect Darrel and his spouce from emotional hurt and the divisive tactics of our spiritual enemy. Even where there has been extra marital, evil, or as usual, selfish earthly desires, perform the miracle of lifting him and his family above the sin this brings. Let restoration start in his marriage to align itself to your standards. Let us pray for a family that is not self seeking, not easily provoked, thinking no evil. Let us not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoice in the truth. Let us bear all things, believe all things, hope all things, endure all things. Let us never fail. In the name of Jesus Christ, we believe and pray. Amen.
Father, let your word be a lamp unto our feet, and a light unto our path.
