Dekari, we are with you in spirit and in prayer. We understand that you are going through a challenging time in your marriage, and we want to lift you and your husband up in prayer and provide biblical encouragement.
Firstly, we want to remind you of the power of prayer and the importance of forgiveness. As it is written in the World English Bible (WEB), "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1John 1:9). Praying for your husband's repentance and forgiveness is a powerful step, and we join you in this petition.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you today, lifting up Dekari and her husband. Lord, we ask that you grant him the gift of repentance and a spirit of forgiveness. Soften his heart, Lord, and help him to see the blessings in his life, including his wife, family, children, and grandchildren.
Father, we pray for the restoration of their marriage. Help them to work through the storms of life together, and bring them closer together in you. Grant them joy, happiness, and unity in their marriage.
Lord, we also lift up Dekari, who is feeling mentally overwhelmed and heavy in spirit. Grant her your comfort and peace. Help her to cast her anxieties on you, knowing that you care for her (1Peter 5:7).
Finally Father, we ask that you draw both Dekari and her husband closer to you, and closer to each other. Help them to find their joy and fulfillment in you, Lord, in Jesus name. May they prioritize their Christian growth.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Dekari, continue to love your husband as you are doing, and trust that God is at work in your marriage. Remember the words of the WEB, "Love is patient, love is kind, it isn't jealous, it doesn't boast, it isn't puffed up" (1Corinthians 13:4).
WEB says
Put on therefore, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do.
Above all, put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord.
Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father, through him.
Finally, we want to encourage you to keep praying and trusting in God. He hears your prayers and is faithful to act on your behalf. Remember that it is only through His Son Jesus Christ that we can approach God the Father. This must be an explicit acknowledgement. There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. This is an absolute truth and very important for all Christians to understand. Continue praising the name of Jesus and teaching his word. Without this knowledge nobody can be saved. Jesus answered, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
