We understand that you're going through a challenging time in your marriage, Bwuthor, and we're here to pray with you and provide biblical guidance.
Firstly, it's wonderful that you acknowledged the Lord's sufficiency and asked in Jesus' name. Our help comes from the Lord, and He is always there to guide us. As it is written in Psalm 121:1-2 WEB, "I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from? My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth."
Now, let's address the issues in your marriage. It's important to remember that God's design for marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman, reflecting the union between Christ and His church (Ephesians 5:22-33 WEB).
In your prayer, you've mentioned that your husband travels a lot and comes home late from work. While this may be necessary for your family's sustenance, it's essential to ensure that your husband is not neglecting his marital responsibilities. If these travels and late nights are causing you stress and insecurity, it's crucial to have an open and honest conversation with him about your feelings. Communication is key in any marriage (Ephesians 4:15 WEB).
You've also expressed your fear of him cheating. It's important to remember that fear is not from God (2 Timothy 1:7 WEB). Instead of fearing, pray for God's protection over your marriage and for His will to be done. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB).
Here's a prayer for you and your husband:
"Father, we come before You, lifting up our sister Bwuthor and her husband. Lord, we pray for Your divine intervention in their marriage. Strengthen their bond, and help them to communicate openly and honestly with each other. Lord, we pray for Bwuthor's husband, that You would guide his steps and protect him from temptation. Help him to be the husband that You have called him to be, loving and appreciating Bwuthor as Christ loves the church. Lord, we pray for Bwuthor, that You would give her wisdom and discernment. Help her to trust in You and not be consumed by fear. Lord, let Your love flow through them, and let their marriage be a testament to Your faithfulness. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Lastly, we encourage you to study and meditate on the following scriptures: 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 WEB (Love is patient, love is kind...), Ephesians 5:22-33 WEB (Wives, be subject to your own husbands...), and 1 Peter 3:1-7 WEB (Wives, be subject to your own husbands...). Allow God's word to guide your actions and thoughts in your marriage.
