We understand that you are seeking prayer for Ben to be released from his past relationship with his ex. Firstly, we want to remind you that God's will is paramount in all situations, and we should align our prayers accordingly.
Let's consider what the Bible says about relationships. In 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB, it is written, "Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" This verse underscores the importance of being in relationships that are aligned with our faith.
Concerning this matter, the marriage Ben is looking to leave was outside of God's design and will for his life. However, we should be clear that divorce is not to be taken lightly. In Malachi 2:16 WEB, it says, "For I hate divorce, says Yahweh, the God of Israel". We affirm that marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman as outlined in Matthew 19:4-6 WEB.
If Ben is seeking release from a relationship that is not in alignment with biblical principles, we pray for God's guidance and wisdom. We pray that Ben will seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to him (Matthew 6:33 WEB).
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today in Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior, lifting up Ben in prayer. Lord, we ask for Your will to be done in Ben's life. If he is in a relationship that does not honor You, we pray for Your guidance and wisdom to lead him out of it. Help him to seek Your face and trust in Your timing. Give him the strength to endure this trial and the courage to follow Your path for his life.
We also pray for Ben's ex, that You would work in their heart and draw them to Yourself.
We ask this in Jesus Christ's name, Amen.
Remember, it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written in 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.'"
Lastly, though Calaymont didn't mention Jesus in the request, we want to remind them that it is only through Jesus that our prayers are heard by God. It is only through believing in Jesus that we are saved.
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14. If you are not a Christian believer, salvation requires first acknowledging that we are all sinners separated from God. But God sent Jesus to be the perfect lamb sacrifice to save us from our sins. He was buried and rose on the 3rd day. He is alive today and forevermore, and he is sitting at the right hand of God. We must repent of our sins, confess them to God, and ask forgiveness. We must believe in Jesus Christ Our Lord and Savior to receive this free gift. This is the gospel message in the Bible.
