Let us come together in prayer for ### and his family. We are reminded in Ephesians 5:25, "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it." ### is trying to live this out, providing for his family and taking care of the household. However, we must also address the issues in this marriage that are not aligning with biblical principles.
In 1 Thessalonians 3:10-11 (WEB), it says, "Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see you face to face, and may complete that which is lacking in your faith. Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you." We pray for ### and ###, that God may direct their paths and complete what is lacking in their faith.
###'s resentment and lack of support for ### are concerning. In Titus 2:3-5 (WEB), it says, "Older women...teach what is good, that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God’s word may not be blasphemed." We pray that ### may be encouraged to love and support her husband, to be a worker at home, and to be kind and in subjection to ###, as the Bible teaches.
We also pray for ###, that God may grant him strength and patience. In Colossians 3:12-13 (WEB), it says, "Put on therefore, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do." We pray that ### may continue to bear with ###, forgive her, and be an example of Christ's love.
Lastly, we must address the lack of mention of Jesus Christ in this request. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. In John 14:6 (WEB), Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." We encourage ### and ### to put their faith in Jesus Christ, to pray to God in His name, and to seek His guidance and help in their marriage.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up ### and ###. We pray for Your intervention in their marriage, that You may guide their steps and complete what is lacking in their faith. We pray for ###, that she may be encouraged to love and support ###, to be a worker at home, and to be kind and in subjection to him. We pray for ###, that You may grant him strength and patience, that he may continue to bear with ###, forgive her, and be an example of Christ's love. We pray that ### and ### may put their faith in Jesus Christ, to pray to You in His name, and to seek Your guidance and help in their marriage. We ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.
