Neha, thank you for bringing your concerns to us. We join you in prayer, seeking God's will for your marriage.
Firstly, we commend you for praying in Jesus' name, as He is our mediator and the only way to the Father (John 14:6, WEB). "Whatever you may ask in my name, I will do it." (John 14:13, WEB)
We understand the pain you're experiencing due to the bitterness and hatred Gourav harbors, as well as the influence of his family. It's important to remember that God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16, WEB). Let's pray for reconciliation and for Gourav's heart to soften.
Let us pray:
*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, pleading for Neha and Gourav's marriage. Lord, You know the pain and bitterness that have hardened Gourav's heart. Please replace his heart of stone with a heart of flesh (Ezekiel 36:26, WEB). Help him to remember the love they once shared and to forgive as You have forgiven us (Ephesians 4:32, WEB).*
*Lord, we ask that You give Neha the strength and patience to endure this trial. Help her to respond with love and kindness, even in the face of hatred (Luke 6:27, WEB). We pray that You would shield their marriage from negative influences and give Gourav discernment to resist them.*
*Most importantly, Lord, we pray that both Neha and Gourav would fix their eyes on You, seeking Your will and Your glory in their marriage. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.*
Neha, we encourage you to continue loving Gourav as God loves us – unconditionally and sacrificially. "Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord... Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it." (Ephesians 5:22, 25, WEB)
Lastly, we gently remind you to examine your own heart and actions, seeking forgiveness where necessary, and striving to live in a way that pleases God. "But as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior; because it is written, 'You shall be holy; for I am holy.'" (1 Peter 1:15-16, WEB)
