We are truly sorry to hear about the challenges you, your daughter, and your family are facing. We will stand with you in prayer and seek God's will in this situation.
Firstly, we want to remind you of the power of praying in Jesus' name. As it is written in John 14:13-14 WEB: "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it." It is through Jesus that we have access to the Father, and it is in His name that our prayers are heard.
Regarding your daughter's divorce, we want to emphasize the sanctity of marriage as designed by God. In Malachi 2:16 WEB, we read, " 'For I hate divorce,' says Yahweh, the God of Israel, 'and him who covers his garment with violence!' says Yahweh of Armies. 'Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let no one deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.'" Divorce is not God's intended outcome, but He is merciful and understands the pain and brokenness that lead to it.
We also want to address the issue of the soon-to-be ex-husband's control and manipulation. This behavior is not aligned with the biblical principles of love, respect, and mutual submission outlined in Ephesians 5:21-33 WEB. We pray that he will come to repentance and seek God's will for his life and marriage.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, humbly seeking Your will and provision for our sister and her family. Lord, You are our Provider and our Refuge, and we trust in Your faithfulness.
We lift up our sister's daughter and her ongoing divorce. We pray for Your healing, peace, and guidance in her life. We ask that You soften her ex-husband's heart and bring him to repentance, convicting him of his manipulative behavior. We also pray for Your provision in their financial needs, especially for the legal fees and medical expenses.
Lord, we ask that You expose any hidden assets and bring them to light. We pray for wisdom and discernment for the lawyers and judges involved in this case, that they may act with integrity and fairness.
We also pray for our sister and her family, that You would strengthen them and provide for their needs as they support their daughter through this difficult time. Help them to trust in You and Your provision, and to seek Your will in all things.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Please consider the following verses for your family:
1. Isaiah 40:31 WEB: "But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint."
2. Romans 8:28 WEB: "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."
3. 1 Peter 5:7 WEB: "...casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you."
