We are truly sorry to hear about the struggles you're facing in your marriage, Lorane. Let's bring your situation before the Lord together, seeking His will and guidance.
Firstly, we want to remind you of the sacred covenant of marriage as designed by God. As it is written in Matthew 19:6 (WEB), "So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate." Marriage is a lifelong commitment, and we encourage you to hold onto God's promise and fight for your union.
However, we also understand that both parties must be willing to work and seek God together. In 1 Corinthians 7:14-16 (WEB), we learn about the sanctity of marriage even when one spouse is not a believer. It is our prayer that your spouse will also turn their heart towards God, and that He will soften both of your hearts towards each other.
Let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today to lift up Lorane's marriage to You. Lord, You know every detail of their struggle, and nothing is hidden from You. We ask, Lord, that You would intervene in this union, bring healing where there is hurt, and restore what the enemy has sought to destroy.
Please guide Lorane and her spouse, give them wisdom, patience, and understanding. Help them to seek You first, to love and respect each other as You intended. We ask that You would bring unity and reconciliation, reminding them of the vows they made before You.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lorane, we encourage you to keep praying and seeking God's face. Trust in Him, for He is faithful. As it is written in Romans 8:28 (WEB), "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." Hold onto this promise, and may the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7, WEB).
Lastly, ensure that you are both seeking God individually and together, as it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God (John 14:6, WEB). If you find that your spouse is not willing to seek God or work on the marriage, we encourage you to seek wisdom and further guidance from God and trusted Christian counselors.
