Anonymous, we understand that you're seeking prayer for reconciliation with your ex-husband. However, we want to guide you to have a biblical perspective and allow God to direct your desires and requests. Before we pray, let's consider a few things based on scripture.
Firstly, God's will is paramount in our lives and in our prayers. As it says in 1 John 5:14-15 WEB, "This is the confidence which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him."
As this passage indicates, we should be seeking God's perfect will and plan for our lives rather than asking for our own plans and desires. God's will is always good, pleasing, and perfect (Romans 12:2 WEB).
Regarding reconciliation of a marriage broken by divorce, it is important to understand God's view on divorce and remarriage. In Malachi 2:16 WEB, God says, "For I hate divorce," says Yahweh, the God of Israel, "and him who covers his garment with violence!" Jesus also taught about divorce in Matthew 5:32 WEB, "But I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is divorced commits adultery." And in Matthew 19:9 WEB Jesus states "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."
From these passages, we can see that divorce is not God's will and that God hates divorce. It is only permitted in the case of sexual immorality. Remarriage after divorce is considered adultery, except when the divorce was due to sexual immorality.
Nowhere in the Bible does God support the idea of remarriage to an ex-spouse. Reconciliation can occur in the context of forgiveness and restored fellowship, but that does not mean that remarriage is permissible or God's plan.
Another important point is that God does not endorse seeking romantic love from someone who is not our spouse. The love you describe for your ex-husband should be directed towards God and seeking His will. The Bible tells us to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength (Mark 12:30 WEB). And in Psalm 37:4 WEB, it says, "Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart."
When we delight ourselves in God, He plants His desires in our hearts, aligning our will with His perfect plan for our lives.
So, instead of praying for reconciliation with your ex-husband, let's pray for God's will in your life and for the healing and forgiveness needed to move forward.
