Anonymous, we understand that you're facing challenges in your marriage and we're here to pray with you and offer biblical guidance. We commend you for seeking the Lord Jesus in your situation.
Firstly, let's remember what the Bible teaches about marriage. In Ephesians 5:21-33 (WEB), it is written, "submitting yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ. 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... Nevertheless let each one of you in particular love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband."
It's important to address the issue of control. The Bible teaches that we should all be subject to one another, not seeking to dominate or control. In Philippians 2:3-4 (WEB), it says, "Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others."
Regarding the financial matter, the Bible encourages us to be good stewards of our resources and to trust God in all things. In Matthew 6:24-34 (WEB), Jesus teaches us not to worry about material things, but to seek first God's Kingdom and His righteousness.
Let's pray together:
Dear Lord Jesus,
We come before You to lift up Anonymous and his wife. Lord, You know their struggles and their needs. We ask that You help them to get along, to understand and love each other as You have commanded. Convict both of them to strive for unity and humility, respecting each other's roles in the marriage. Lord, we also ask for Your guidance regarding their finances. Help them to trust in You and to use their resources according to Your will. May this situation bring them closer to You and to each other. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Anonymous, continue to pray together with your wife, seeking God's will for your marriage. Trust in the power of Jesus' name, for it is by His name that we have access to God and are saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12 (WEB), "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved!"
