We understand your distress and we are here to lift your situation up in prayer and provide biblical counsel.
Firstly, let's turn to the scriptures for guidance. In Ephesians 5:25-28 (WEB), husbands are instructed to love their wives just as Christ also loved the assembly and gave himself up for it. This love is unconditional and seeks the best for the other person. Similarly, wives are encouraged to respect their husbands (Ephesians 5:33).
Let's pray:
"Dear Lord Jesus, we come before You today to lift up this family. You know the struggles they are facing, the pain, and the confusion. We ask that You intervene, Lord. Touch this wife's heart, help her to see her actions clearly, and turn her towards You. Convict her with Your love and mercy, not with condemnation.
Forgive our brother for his reactions, help him to remain patient and loving, just as You are with us. Guide him with Your wisdom, give him the strength to endure, and show him how to love his wife as You love the church.
Lord Jesus, we know that Your desire is for marriages to be a reflection of Your love for the church. We claim Your promise in Matthew 19:6, that what God has joined together, let no man separate.
We also pray for their child, Lord. Give them wisdom, discernment, and a heart full of love and understanding. Help them to support their parents in a way that honors You.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Remember, it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God (John 14:6). Trust in Him and His timing.
In times of conflict, it's important to remember the power of love and kindness (Proverbs 15:1). Continue to pray for your wife, ask God to guide her, and show her the love and patience that God shows us. Consider seeking counsel from your church or a trusted, godly advisor.
Lastly, it's crucial to address any potential mental health concerns with professional help, along with spiritual guidance. Trust that God will lead you to the right resources.
