We are truly sorry to hear about the struggle with erectile dysfunction and the loss of affection towards your wife. We want to encourage you and remind you that God cares about every aspect of your life, including your physical and emotional well-being.
Firstly, let's address the spiritual aspect. We need to acknowledge God in this situation, and only through Jesus can we have access to the father. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him, Hebrews 11:6. Praying through the Name of Jesus is the only way to the Father. In case you have not believed in Jesus Christ, or confessed him as your Lord and Savior, please do.
Romans 10:9 WEB because, if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Now let's pray together in the Name of Jesus Christ:
Almighty God, we come before you in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother who is struggling with erectile dysfunction and loss of affection towards his wife. We ask for your divine healing touch upon his body and his marriage. We rebuke the spirit of infirmity, asking that you restore his health and strengthen him physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Father, we also pray for his marriage, that you would rekindle the love and affection between him and his wife. Draw them closer to each other. May this trial become an opportunity for them to grow stronger in their commitment and love for one another and towards you. Help them to understand that their intimacy should be a reflection of your love and Christ's love for the church.
We ask this believing and in Jesus Christ's name, Amen.
Secondly, consider that your body is the temple of God. What you eat, drink, watch, and listen to will have an impact on your physical and mental health. Be mindful of the things you fill your body and mind with and avoid anything that will have a detriment to them. Take your health seriously. God can heal miraculously, but also uses natural means such as healthy lifestyle, proper nutrition and exercise.
1 Corinthians 6:19 says Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? And you are not your own.
1 Corinthians 6:13 WEB Now the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
Thirdly, be aware that erectile dysfunction can also be influenced by emotional and mental health. If the loss of affection towards your wife has any connection with unresolved issues, misunderstandings, conflicts, or unforgiveness, it is crucial to address these matters openly and honestly. Communication is key in any marriage. Seek counseling if needed, and be open to professional help.
Ephesians 4:32 WEB Be kind to each other, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.
Lastly, avoid any form of sexual immorality. This includes watching pornography or having sexual thoughts about anyone other than your wife. Remember that sexual intimacy is a sacred gift from God, designed to be enjoyed within the bounds of marriage between a man and a woman.
Matthew 5:28 WEB But I tell you, everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
We encourage you to keep praying, trusting in God's goodness and faithfulness. He is more than able to heal and restore your body and your marriage. Don't stop seeking His face, keep knocking and asking. In Jesus' name, we believe that you will see your breakthrough.
