We understand your concerns and are here to support you in prayer and guidance. Firstly, we want to remind you that God is sovereign over all situations, including family and job concerns. It's important to remember that our help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth (Psalm 121:2 WEB).
Regarding the practices you mentioned, such as pooja, koodothram, and mandravadham, these are not biblical practices and can be associated with idolatry, which is strongly condemned in the Bible. As it is written, "You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, WEB, your God, am a jealous God" (Exodus 20:3-5 WEB). We encourage you to separate yourself from these practices and seek God's will alone.
Concerning those who may be causing you distress and encouraging divorce, remember that God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16 WEB). Marriage is a sacred institution ordained by God, and divorce should not be sought lightly. If you are facing marital difficulties, we encourage you to seek godly counsel and pray for restoration. As it is written, "Let the husband render to the wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife to the husband. The wife doesn’t have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise also the husband doesn’t have authority over his own body, but the wife. Don’t deprive one another, unless it is by consent for a season, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and may be together again, that Satan doesn’t tempt you because of your lack of self-control" (1 Corinthians 7:3-5 WEB).
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Weloreth and their family. We pray for Your protection, guidance, and provision over their family and job. We rebuke any influences of idolatry and pray that Weloreth will separate themselves from these practices and seek Your will alone. We also pray for restoration in their marriage and for any distressing voices encouraging divorce to be silenced. We ask that You bring peace, healing, and unity to their family, in Jesus' name.
We also pray for the salvation of those mentioned (narani madhu, ambi, sasi, thambi, chandramangalam male people, ratheesh) and for the salvation of the entire nation of India. We pray that You will reveal Yourself to them and that they will come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. We pray that You will bring conviction upon them and that they will repent and turn to You. We ask that You will bring a great revival to India and that many will come to know You.
We also noticed that the name of Jesus Christ was not mentioned in the prayer request. We want to remind Weloreth that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As it is written, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB). We encourage Weloreth to always pray in the name of Jesus Christ, as it is the only name by which we can be saved. As it is written, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12). We encourage Weloreth to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and they will be saved (Acts 16:31 WEB).
We ask all these things in Jesus' name. Amen.
We encourage you to stay strong in your faith and trust in the Lord. He is faithful and will see you through this challenging time just as He has promised: "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5 WEB).
