We are truly touched by your request, Melaria, and we want to lift up your family, your health, and your concerns about remarriage to the Lord in prayer.
Firstly, we rejoice with you in your healing from cancer. We claim God's promises for you, that "by his stripes, you are healed" (Isaiah 53:5 WEB). We pray for your continued strength and health as you undergo radiation treatment.
We also lift up your children and grandchildren to the Lord, asking that He draws them to Himself and gives them hearts that yearn to follow Him. We pray that they may know the love of God and be filled with His Spirit.
Regarding your ex-husband Russell, we pray for God's clear guidance in this situation. We appreciate your desire to do what's right in God's eyes. We implore you to consider the words in 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 (WEB), "But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband (but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife."
However, it's crucial to ensure that any reconciliation and remarriage is based on true repentance, forgiveness, and a mutual commitment to God's will. We pray that God shows you clearly whether this is His plan for you both. We also caution you to ensure that any past issues that led to your divorce have been genuinely addressed and resolved.
We notice that you didn't mention the name of Jesus Christ in your request. We want to remind you that it's through Jesus that we have access to God. As it's 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.'" We pray that you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and that His will is the desire of your heart.
Lastly, we lift up your friend Bonnie to the Lord, asking that He meets her needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19 WEB).
Let's pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up Melaria, her family, her health, and her concerns about remarriage. Lord, we ask for your clear guidance in this situation. We pray for Russell, that Your will be done in his life. We also pray for Bonnie, that you meet her needs according to your glorious riches. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
