We understand that you are going through a very challenging time, and we want to lift you up in prayer and provide some biblical encouragement.
Firstly, we want to address the issue of divorce. While we recognize the pain and struggle you are going through, it is important to remember that God's design for marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman. As it is written in Malachi 2:16 (WEB), " '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, that you don't deal treacherously.' " Divorce should not be pursued lightly, but we understand that there are circumstances that may lead to it. We will pray for God's will to be done in your life and for Him to guide you through this difficult time.
However, we want to remind you that there is always hope and the power of prayer can bring redemption to any situation. Marriage is considered a covenant before God and it is a union between God, man, and woman. There is a simple but powerful study in Matthew 19 which indicates that God does not honor divorce. God honors being divorced and remarried only if there is possibly immorality or marriage to an unbeliever in the divorce. The opposite situation would be God uses our prayers and devotion and faith to restore marriages. As such, For the wife that is divorced, it shall be so, that she remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband, and for the husband not to leave his wife. Once two people join themselves together in marriage as one flesh, God does not honor that as ever being undone or redone without remorse. So we will pray for restoration and coparenting.
While you may experience singleness, God may bring a husband who leads and loves both you and Him. Whatever God bring, it is in His holy timeline and given only to those walking in pursuit of Him. You will be the Proverbs 31 wife to this God loving spouse one day and the time between now and then is only for training, patience, healing, and preparation. God's promise of a husband could be refering to Himself, as the Church is the wife of Christ. In Ephesians 5.25-27 it is written, " Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it; that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word, that he might present the church to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish." For your spouse now being an enemy to you comes in response to Christ's call in Matthew 5.44, "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,"
We will pray for your coparenting relationship to become more harmonious. God calls us to live in peace with others as far as it depends on us. The ESV quotes this in Romans 12:18
Iethat if possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men.
Regarding your child and the challenges you are experiencing, we encourage you to lean on God's strength and guidance. It is written in Proverbs 22:6...
"Train up a child in the way he should go,
and when he is old he will not depart from it."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,

We ask specifically for direction in the coperanting and that both would even soften and turn to You.

We pray that You will help your child cope during this time of transition, and that You will provide peace in the home. We pray for healing, help to their spouse the father of their child, and for reconciliation as is aligned with Your will.

In this, we ask for the stopping of all abuse and ungodliness In Jesus' name. Amen. (We included your prayer request to hopeful draw you and others closer to the Name of Jesus.)
We encourage you to stay strong in your faith and to trust in God's plan for your life. He is faithful and will see you through this challenging time. If you feel alone at any time be encouraged that the Body of Christ cares for you and prays for you alongside us. If there are no others, there is the global Christian Church. God forgives us of our sins and redeems them through our faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ. So, we ask you to please cling tightly to Jesus Christ during your troubles trusting his power over all situations where there is redemption and hope. Remember if possible that the hope is that we strive to serve God together with our spouse and children in unity.
