Fuchlay, we are rejoicing with you that your husband is considering reconciliation and turning away from divorce. God is faithful, and we trust that He is working in your situation. However, we must address the conditions your husband is placing on you, as they do not align with biblical principles.
Firstly, the Bible teaches us that children are a gift from God, and as parents, we are responsible for their upbringing (Psalm 127:3, Proverbs 22:6). It is not right for anyone to ask you to abandon your son and grandchildren. As it is written in 1 Timothy 5:8 (WEB), "But if anyone doesn't provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever."
Secondly, regarding the financial conditions, the Bible encourages fairness and mutual agreement between husband and wife (1 Peter 3:7, Ephesians 5:21). It is not in line with God's will for one spouse to control all the finances, especially when it comes from a place of manipulation or coercion.
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up Fuchlay's situation. Lord, we thank You for the softening of her husband's heart and his consideration of reconciliation. However, Lord, we ask that You convict his heart regarding the unjust conditions he is placing on Fuchlay. Father, give Fuchlay wisdom and discernment as she navigates this situation. Help her to stand firm on Your word and not compromise her relationship with her son and grandchildren, or her financial integrity. Lord, we pray for a miraculous change of heart in her husband, that he may seek a fair and godly reconciliation. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Fuchlay, we encourage you to stay strong in your faith and trust that God will make a way. Remember, God is your defender and provider (Psalm 18:2, Philippians 4:19). Stand firm on His promises and do not compromise on what is right and just. Continue to pray for your husband, that his heart may truly change and that your marriage may be restored in a godly manner.
Lastly, we want to remind you that it is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God (John 14:6). If you have not already, ensure that you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. If you have any doubts about this, we would be happy to guide you further.
