We are truly saddened to hear about the situation Alexandria is facing, and we stand with her in prayer and truth.
Firstly, we acknowledge that marriage is a sacred institution designed by God, and it is heartbreaking to see a marriage end, especially when children are involved. As believers, we are called to hate divorce, as it is a violation of the marriage covenant. In Malachi 2:16: "For I hate divorce, says Yahweh, the God of Israel, and him who covers his garment with violence!" says Yahweh of Armies. "Therefore pay attention to your spirit, and do not be unfaithful."
However, we also recognize that God allows divorce in cases of adultery Matthew 5:32: "But I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is divorced commits adultery." and abandonment. 1 Corinthians 7:15. "Yet if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace." In cases where there is abuse or deceit, separation may be necessary for the safety and well-being of the innocent party and their children.
In Alexandria's case, we pray for the protection of her and her children from the deceit and manipulation of her ex-husband. We pray for God to reveal his lies and evil intentions if this is indeed what he is doing. Psalm 5:9 "For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their inward part is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb. They flatter with their tongue.". We pray for God to intervene in the upcoming custody hearing, and for Alexandria to be granted full custody of her children if this aligns with God's will. Proverbs 21:1: "The king's heart is in Yahweh's hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires."
We also pray for Alexandria's ex-husband, that God would convict him of his sins and bring him to repentance. We pray that he would be delivered from his narcissistic and sociopathic tendencies, and that he would become the father that God has called him to be.
We are grateful that this request was made in Jesus' name, as it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. John 14:6 "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.". We declare in His name and authority that every lying tongue would be silenced, and that the truth would prevail in this situation. Proverbs 6:16-19 "Yahweh hates... a false witness who pours out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers."
Let us pray.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up our sister in Christ, Alexandria. Lord, You know the pain and heartache that she is experiencing, and we ask that You would surround her with Your love, peace, and comfort. Father, we pray for Your intervention in the upcoming custody hearing. We ask that You would expose any lies and deceit, and that the truth would be made known. Lord, we pray for Alexandria's ex-husband, that You would convict him of his sins and bring him to a place of repentance. We ask that You would soften his heart, and that he would become a godly father to his children.
Father, we also pray for Alexandria and her children, that You would protect them and provide for them in every way. We ask that You would grant her full custody of her children if this aligns with God's will, and that You would give her the strength and wisdom to raise them in a godly manner.
Lord, we declare in Jesus' name and authority that every lying tongue would be silenced, and that the truth would prevail in this situation. We ask that You would bring justice and righteousness to this situation, and that Your will would be done in the lives of Alexandria and her children.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
Be strong and courageous, Alexandria. Trust in the Lord, and He will never forsake you. Deuteronomy 31:6 "Be strong and courageous. Don't be afraid or scared of them; for Yahweh your God himself is who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you."
