Dear Epistreira,
We understand the pain and longing you are experiencing in the absence of your husband. We will pray with you and offer guidance based on the Word of God.
Firstly, let's remember that God's timing is indeed perfect. As it is written in Ecclesiastes 3:11, "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men, yet they cannot fathom the work that God has done from beginning to end."
However, we must also address the issues in your marriage that may not align with biblical principles. It is clear that there has been manipulation and deceit from family members, which has caused a rift between you and your husband. We must pray for God's intervention in this situation, but also for wisdom and discernment for both you and your husband.
Let's pray:
"Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister Epistreira and her husband. Lord, you know the pain and longing she feels, and the manipulation and deceit that has caused this separation. We ask that you reveal the truth to her husband, that you give him wisdom and discernment to see the evil doings of those around him. Lord, we pray for a spirit of forgiveness and reconciliation between them, that their marriage may be restored and strengthened in you. We rebuke the spirit of division and manipulation, and we ask that you surround their marriage with a hedge of protection. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Epistreira, we encourage you to remain steadfast in your faith and trust in God. 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."
We also encourage you to seek godly counsel, whether it be from a pastor or a Christian counselor, to help navigate this difficult time. It is important to have a support system that is rooted in biblical principles.
Lastly, we must address the fact that you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer. It is only through his name that we have access to God, as it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" We encourage you to always pray in the name of Jesus, for it is in his name that we are saved and have the promise of eternal life.
May God bless you and your husband, and may his will be done in your lives.
