Judy, we understand that you're seeking prayer for the restoration of your marriage with Martin, the father of your children, despite the challenges and his subsequent marriages. Firstly, we commend you for your faith and desire for restoration. However, we must address this situation in light of biblical principles.
Your marriage to Martin is still valid in God's eyes. God says, "For I hate divorce, says Yahweh, the God of Israel; and him who covers his garment with violence, says Yahweh of Armies Therefore pay attention to your spirit, that you do not be unfaithful" We should always support a couple staying married. (Malachi 2:16 WEB). Therefore, we will pray for the restoration of your marriage, but we must also address the sin that has entered into this situation.
Martin has entered into other marriages, which is adultery in God's eyes. "But I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries her when she is divorced commits adultery" Jesus said in (Matthew 19:9 WEB). This sin has caused a separation in his relationship with God. We will pray for his salvation and repentance. But Judy, you are also at fault if you seek to be with him while he has other wives. You would be in adultery as well. Our goal in praying for you must be for you to stay with Martin as a wife, but not until he repents of his sin.
We also note that your prayer request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have access to God the Father. "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB). "For whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved" (Romans 10:13 WEB). Therefore we always pray that the person we are praying for will be praying in the name of Jesus.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Judy and Martin. Lord, we pray for Martin's salvation. May he encounter You personally, repent of his sins, and turn to You with all his heart. Lord, we ask that You soften his heart and draw him to You. We also pray for Judy, that You would strengthen her faith and give her the wisdom to navigate this situation according to Your will. We ask that You restore their marriage, but only if it aligns with Your holy word, and only if both parties repent of their sins.
Please pray for and believe in Martin's salvation by praying in the name of Jesus. We pray for your own relationship with Jesus Christ. May you both be drawn closer to Him during this challenging time. We pray that Martin will forsake his sinful relationships and return to You and his marriage to Judy. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.
Judy, continue to pray for Martin and trust in God's timing and will. Be the godly wife that Martin needs when he returns. Study and follow the biblical principles and God will be with you.
