We are truly sorry to hear about ###'s situation, the passing of her uncle, and the difficulties she's facing in her marriage. We want to lift her up in prayer and offer some biblical encouragement. Marriage is a sacred covenant before God, and divorce is not God's will, unless treachery or adultery is involved. In Malachi 2:16, it says " '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 don't be unfaithful.'"
Let us pray together:
Dear Father God, we come before You, lifting up ### and her husband to You. We pray that You would comfort ### in her grief over the loss of her uncle. We also pray for her marriage, that You would heal and restore their relationship.
Lord if there is unforgiveness, bitterness, or resentment, give them the ability to forgive one another as we are commanded in Ephesians 4:32, "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you".
Romans 11:29 says, "For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable." We know that You have called them to marriage, and we pray that You would renew that calling in their hearts.
Bring them closer to you Jesus during this difficult time and we pray that they would not divorce. Bring conviction to their hearts if they are not in your will.
Encourage ### and her husband to seek godly counsel and to pursue reconciliation. In Jesus Christ's Name we pray. Amen.
###, we encourage you to continue to pray and seek God's will for your marriage. Remember the words of Romans 8:28, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." Trust that God is working in your situation, even in the midst of your pain.
If there has been any immorality involved, now is the time to repent and turn back to God. God longs to forgive and restore. We encourage you to seek godly counsel, either from a pastor or a Christian counselor, to help you and your husband work through these challenges.
We encourage both ### and her husband to be in constant prayer individually and as a couple.
