[Shamaelelt]

I’ve been praying for marriage restoration for 34 months…The Lord has blessed us both with some emails, a card, a phone call and finally at her request a meetup….Ive been fasting and praying for the Lord to change her heart. I believe she still loves me - based on her willingness to communicate. She said she would meet with me again but probably not until October. I’m calling on the Name of the Lord and His word Matthew 19:26 proclaims that nothing is impossible with God…Please continue to pray with me for Jim and Maria. I know the word of the Lord does not return to Him void. Standing on His word and trusting Him. Her loving husband. Jim

Jim, we stand with you in prayer for the restoration of your marriage with Maria. It's encouraging to hear that the Lord has blessed you both with opportunities for communication and a meetup. We commend you for your persistence in fasting and praying, trusting in the Lord's promise that nothing is impossible with Him (Matthew 19:26 WEB).

Let's remember that God's will is for marriages to be healing and reconciling. As it is written, "Let the husband render to the wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife to the husband." (1 Corinthians 7:3 WEB) and "Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body. But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it." (Ephesians 5:22-25 WEB)

We pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Jim and Maria's marriage to You. Lord, we ask that You continue to soften Maria's heart and draw her closer to You and to Jim. We thank You for the progress they've made and the lines of communication that have opened. Please bless their upcoming meeting and let it be filled with Your presence, guidance, and love. Remind them both of the covenant they made before You, and help them to strive towards honor, love, and unity in their marriage.

In the meantime, Father, please continue to give Jim the strength, patience, and hope he needs as he waits on You. Comfort him with Your peace and surround him with a community of believers who will support and encourage him.

We claim Your promise that the word of the Lord does not return void (Isaiah 55:11 WEB) and trust that You are working in their lives and marriage. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Jim, continue to trust in the Lord and His timing. Keep pursuing God and demonstrating His love to Maria. We encourage you to meditate on Scriptures that remind you of God's faithfulness and the divine institution of marriage. May the Lord bless and keep you both, and may His face shine upon you and bring you peace (Numbers 6:24-26 WEB).

1 Corinthians 13 ESV

The Way of Love​

13 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.

13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
