We are truly saddened to hear about the challenges you and Charmaine are facing in your marriage, Martin. We stand with you in prayer, seeking God's will for your marriage and believing in His power to restore and heal.
Firstly, we commend you for praying in the name of Jesus, as it is through His name that we have access to the Father (John 14:6, WEB). Remember that God's heart is for marriage, as He has designed it to be a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman (Mark 10:6-9, WEB).
Let us pray together:
"Father, in the name of Jesus, we come before You, lifting up Martin and Charmaine's marriage. Lord, we ask that You would intervene and soften Charmaine's heart, removing any hardness or bitterness, and replacing it with love and compassion (Ezekiel 36:26, WEB). We bind and cast out any plans of the enemy that seek to destroy this marriage through divorce and separation (Mark 3:27, WEB). We pray that You would surround Charmaine with godly counsel, and that any friends who are encouraging divorce would be silenced or removed from her life.
Lord, we ask that You would reignite the love and passion Martin and Charmaine once had for each other, drawing them closer together and helping them to seek Your will for their marriage. We also ask that You would convict Charmaine's heart and turn her away from seeking other men on dating apps. Help her to see the value and sanctity of her marriage, and to pursue healing and restoration instead.
In Jesus' name, we pray that Your will be done in their lives and that their marriage would be a testament to Your power and grace. Amen."
Martin, we encourage you to continue standing firm in your faith and to trust in the Lord's power to restore your marriage. Remember to love Charmaine as Christ loves the church, with a selfless and unconditional love (Ephesians 5:25, WEB). We also encourage you to seek godly counsel and support during this time, surrounding yourself with people who will uplift and encourage you in your pursuit of a restored marriage.
Lastly, we want to address the issue of Charmaine seeking other men on dating apps. This is a form of adultery, which is clearly against God's will for marriage (Exodus 20:14, WEB). It is important to address this issue with Charmaine in a loving and compassionate way, reminding her of the vows she made before God and the sanctity of your marriage. Seek the Lord's guidance in how to approach this topic, and trust that He will provide you with the wisdom and grace needed to navigate this difficult situation.
We are here for you, Martin, and we will continue to pray for you and Charmaine as you seek God's will for your marriage.
