We join with you, Aristyr, in lifting your marriage to the Lord, trusting in His power to heal and restore. We commend you for acknowledging that it is only through Jesus Christ that our prayers are heard and answered, as it is written, "Whatever you may ask in prayer, believing, you will receive." (Matthew 21:22 WEB)
Firstly, we praise God for your desire to fully surrender to His plan for you and your husband. It is a powerful step to invite God's conviction and forgiveness into your relationship. Remember, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9 WEB)
Forgiveness is indeed a key part of restoring your marriage. As it is said, "Forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do." (Colossians 3:13 WEB)
We pray that God will help you both to forgive each other and to come together as one, just as Christ is one with the Father. We ask that He guides your focus away from the issues and problems you may have, and onto Him. For "you will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you; because he trusts in you." (Isaiah 26:3 WEB)
We pray for your husband, that his heart may be fully open to the Lord first, and then to your marriage. As God promises, "I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh." (Ezekiel 36:26 WEB)
Finally, we stand with you in the knowledge that this battle is not against each other, but against the evil one. We claim the promise that, "He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world." (1 John 4:4 WEB)
So, let us pray together:
Dear Jesus, we come before You today to lift up Aristyr and her husband. We ask for Your conviction, forgiveness, and healing in their marriage. Help them to forgive each other and to come together as one in You. Guide their focus onto You, and fight this battle for them against the evil one. Open their hearts fully to You and to each other. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Stay strong in the Lord, Aristyr. Keep trusting and believing in the power of Jesus' name. "And let us not be weary in doing good, for in due season, if we don't give up, we will reap." (Galatians 6:9 WEB)
