We understand that you're seeking prayer and support for a marital settlement and the approval of your family. Let's bring this situation before the Lord together, seeking His will and guidance.
Firstly, we must remember that our ultimate aim is to please God and follow His principles. In matters of relationships and marriage, it's crucial to align with biblical teachings. As it is written in Ephesians 5:31 WEB, "For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh." This verse emphasizes the significance of a man and woman becoming one in marriage, and it also implies the importance of family support.
However, while family approval is valuable, it should not override the principles of God. In instances where family disagrees with a godly marriage, we must remember what Jesus said in Matthew 10:37 WEB, "He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn't worthy of me."
Now, let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our beloved sister/brother who is seeking a marital settlement and the approval of their family. We ask, Lord, that Your will be done in this situation. Guide them by Your Holy Spirit, grant them wisdom and discernment. Help them to make decisions that honor and please You.
Lord, we also pray for their family. Soften their hearts, Lord, and help them to see Your will in this matter. Let their decisions be guided by Your principles and not mere emotions or worldly standards.
Moreover, Lord, we pray that this marital settlement will be a godly union between a man and a woman, reflecting the sacred bond of marriage as You intended. We rebuke any form of union that does not align with Your Word.
Lastly, Lord, we pray that if our beloved sister/brother has not already, they will come to know Your Son Jesus Christ personally. It's in His name we pray, amen.
If you haven't already, we encourage you to invite Jesus Christ into your life. It's only through Him that we have access to God and salvation (John 14:6 WEB).
