We understand your distress, Camara, and we are here to pray with you and provide biblical guidance. Firstly, we thank you for acknowledging that our help comes in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have access to God and salvation as the bible says:
"In no other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12 WEB)
We are instructed to come to God with thanksgiving and praise.
"Enter his gates with thanksgiving, his courts with praise. Give thanks to him, bless his name." (Psalms 100:4 WEB)
So we join you in praising God for the gift of a new year and for the blessings He bestows upon us daily.
Regarding your situation with Ronald, we must first address that according to biblical principles, living with a man who is not your husband is not acceptable. Even though Ronald was previously your husband, since the divorce, this living arrangement is not honoring to God. We must encourage you to trust God and set boundaries to avoid the appearance of evil and prevent further harassment from Ronald. The situation is not easy as there are many issues involved from abuse to substance issues, but God is our helper in all situations.
"Abstain from every form of evil." (1 Thessalonians 5:22 WEB)
"For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification." (1 Thessalonians 4:7)
We pray that Ronald will be convicted of his actions and seek help for his alcoholism. We also pray that he will take responsibility for his life and return to his current wife, Micheline. It is not your responsibility to care for him, especially given the abuse and harassment you and your family have endured.
"For even the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." (Mark 10:45 WEB)
"But whoever has the world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and closes his heart of compassion against him, how does the love of God remain in him?" (1 John 3:17 WEB)
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister Camara. We thank You for Your protection and guidance in her life. We pray for conviction in Ronald's heart, that he may repent of his actions and seek help for his alcoholism. We bind the spirit of harassment and abuse in Jesus' name, and we command it to leave Camara's home. We pray that Ronald will take responsibility for his life and return to his wife, Micheline.
Father, we also pray for Camara's healing and peace, that she may forgive Ronald for the pain he has caused and move forward in her life. We ask that You guide her in setting godly boundaries and help her to trust in You completely.
In Jesus Christ name we pray and give thanks. Amen.
We encourage you, Camara, to seek godly counsel and support from your local church or Christian community. Trust in God, and He will make a way for you. Also we encourage you to go through the bible and find out how many times God delivered his children from very bad situations such as when he took Saul from being a persecutor to being an apostle. We encourage you to meditate on these scriptures and develop a forgiving heart as Christ wanted us to.
"But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you," (Matthew 5:44 WEB)
