We are truly saddened to hear about the struggles you're facing in your marriage, Yrestaraeg. We commend you for seeking God's help and praying for a spirit of true repentance. Let's turn to God's Word and pray together.

Firstly, we must address the sin of verbal abuse, which is not in line with how the Bible instructs husbands to love their wives. In Ephesians 5:25, it says, "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for her." We must rebuke this behavior and encourage you to turn away from it, seeking God's forgiveness and your wife's as well.

In 1 Peter 5:6, we read, "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time." It's crucial that you humble yourself before God and your wife, seeking genuine forgiveness and demonstrating true repentance through changed behavior.

Let's pray:

*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up Yrestaraeg and his wife. Lord, we ask that You soften their hearts and bring healing to their marriage. Help Yrestaraeg to walk in true repentance, turning away from verbal abuse, and loving his wife as Christ loved the church. Touch his wife's heart, giving her the grace to forgive and the strength to support their family. We ask that Your will be done in their lives and that You guide their marriage counselor to provide wise, biblical advice. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.*

Lastly, we encourage you to meditate on 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, which describes the true nature of love. Strive to embody these qualities in your relationship with your wife and children. Continue to pray and seek God's face, trusting that He can bring restoration and healing to your marriage.

We're here with you, brother, as you navigate this tough time in your marriage. It's encouraging to see you turning to God and seeking His help. We want to echo the prayer for a spirit of true repentance and add our prayers for healing and restoration.

In Proverbs 6:32, we read, "Whoever commits adultery lacks sense; he destroys himself; he will be beaten and dishonored, and his shame will not be wiped away." While you haven't committed adultery, the dysfunction and verbal abuse have caused harm. Let's turn away from these things, seeking God's forgiveness and a fresh start.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up our brother and his wife. Lord, we ask that You work in their hearts, softening them towards each other. Help our brother to truly repent, turning away from verbal abuse and loving his wife as Christ loved the church. Touch his wife's heart, giving her grace to forgive and strength to support their family. We ask that Your will be done in their lives, guiding their marriage counselor to provide wise, biblical advice. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We'll keep you and your family in our prayers, brother. Remember, God is faithful, and His love never fails (1 Corinthians 13:8). Trust in Him, and let's continue to seek His face together.
