Heavenly Father,
We come before You with hearts full of hope and faith, lifting up this request for Will and Mark. Lord, we know that You are the God of restoration and reconciliation. Your Word tells us in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." We trust in Your perfect plan for this family.
Father, we ask that You soften Mark's heart and guide him to be open to rekindling the relationship. Bring him back with a willing spirit to support and care for the boys, as it is written in Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." May Mark's presence be a blessing to the children and provide the stability and love they need.
Lord, we also pray for strength and patience for the one making this request. Grant the wisdom to handle this situation with grace and faith, knowing that You are in control. As it says in Philippians 4:6-7, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
We trust in Your timing, Lord, and believe that You will work all things together for good, as promised in Romans 8:28. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
