We understand your struggle and heartache, and we're here to support you in prayer and truth. First, let's remember what God's Word says about love and marriage. In Ephesians 5:25, it is written, "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it."
However, it's crucial to address that the behavior you're describingโselfishness, lack of support, and mind gamesโdoes not align with God's design for a marriage partner. Proverbs 31:10-12 describes a virtuous wife, "Who can find a worthy woman? For her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he shall have no lack of gain. She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life."
Let's pray together:
"Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up this marriage. We pray for Shirlita, that You would soften her heart and help her see the impact of her actions. Turn her focus away from herself and towards loving and supporting her husband as You intended. Grant her a spirit of humility and understanding. We also pray for strength and wisdom for her husband, that he may continue to love her as Christ loves the church, even in these difficult times. Guide them both towards reconciliation and a marriage that honors You. If separation is necessary for safety or sanity, we pray for clear guidance and protection. Above all, we pray that both of their hearts would be drawn closer to You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you to remain steadfast in prayer and to seek godly counsel. Remember, God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16), but He also desires that we live in peace and safety. Trust in Him, and He will guide your path (Proverbs 3:5-6).
Lastly, we note that your prayer request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It's important to remember that it is through His name that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" Please keep this in mind for future prayers.
