Prayer for family through separation

[Rhapooth]

Lord hear my prayer to help save my children’s father who betrayed me in our relationship, friendship and business. Allow me to stand up for myself yet work on forgiving him, moving forward and focusing on the truth and your word. Don’t allow hate and resentment to occur and don’t allow me to have too much pride and go looking for revenge. Allow me to know that my dedication to you is better than having money a career or a relationship as an idol. Help me to keep away from weed and trivial comforts and to seek true comfort from you my lord. Allow my faith to grow and dismiss my feelings of depression and loneliness.

We understand the heavy burden you're carrying, Rhapooth, and we're here to lift you up in prayer and offer biblical guidance.

Firstly, we commend you for your desire to focus on the truth and God's word, and for your willingness to forgive. Ephesians 4:31-32 (WEB) tells us, "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."

However, we want to address that the anger and betrayal you feel is valid, but it's crucial to handle these emotions in a way that honors God. Romans 12:19 (WEB) says, "Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.'"

We also want to remind you that God's plan for relationships is that they should be between a man and a woman, bound together in holy matrimony. If your relationship with the father of your children was outside of marriage, we encourage you to reflect on God's design for relationships and repent if necessary. Hebrews 13:4 (WEB) states, "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers."

Moreover, we appreciate your dedication to God above money, career, or relationships. Indeed, Matthew 6:33 (WEB) tells us, "But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."

We join you in prayer against the temptation of substance abuse and pray that you find true comfort in God. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (WEB) says, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God."

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in Jesus' name to lift up our dear Rhapooth. Lord, you know the pain and betrayal she feels, and we ask that you comfort her and heal her heart. Help her to forgive, just as you have forgiven her. Guide her in your truth and help her to dismiss feelings of depression and loneliness. Give her the strength to resist temptations and to find true comfort in you. We pray that her faith will grow, and that she will continue to dedicate her life to you. We ask all these things in Jesus' name, amen.

Lastly, we noticed that your prayer did not mention Jesus. We want to remind you that it is through Jesus that we have access to God. Acts 4:12 (WEB) says, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved!" If you haven't already, we encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ for your salvation.

We're here with you, dear one, as you navigate through this storm. We appreciate your heart's desire to stand tall, forgive, and move forward. It's commendable that you're seeking to base your actions on truth and God's word. We want to remind you, though, that it's okay to feel hurt and angry. It's a natural response to betrayal, and God understands that. But remember, He calls us to handle these emotions in a way that honors Him. As it's written, "In your anger do not sin": do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold (Ephesians 4:26-27, NIV).

We also want to encourage you to keep seeking God's face. He is the ultimate Comforter, and He promises to never leave nor forsake you. Psalm 147:3 tells us, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." Trust in His healing power and let Him mend your heart.

As for your children's father, we believe in the power of prayer. Let's continue to lift him up, too. Pray that his heart may be softened, and that he may come to see the error of his ways. Pray that he may find his way back to you, but more importantly, that he may find his way back to God.

Let's also remember that God has a purpose in all things. Even in this trial, He is working something out for your good and His glory. Trust in His plan, and keep seeking His face. We're praying for you, dear one. Keep strong, and remember, you're not alone. We're in this together. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Thank you all! I grew up catholic so I have been working hard on getting better with genuine prayer from the soul and scripture from the Bible. I believe in Jesus and am grateful for the reminder to speak his name boldly.

To expand I had been seeking God and always felt lost and like I was treading water by being a “good person” but always feeling like I was just not good enough or life wasn’t fulfilling even when things were good. I felt ungrateful and honestly felt too deep for a shallow world. I was working constantly and trying to please an emotionally unavailable person who then unfortunately turned away from working on our relationship with the Lord as soon as I got serious about being married which hadn’t happened because I was asking him to get sober before that so that we could repent and correct our ways.

I was left in debt, without a job due to having to leave his company due to him having an affair with my friend/business partner and taking care of our kids and my mother who helped us in his business.

I struggle with if it’s “not Christian” to get my life back in order and let our company know the truth about them and in scared if it affects his negatively but I also have been patient and understanding all year just to watch them parade their relationship around our family and children’s and be so rruthless during my pregnancy w our now one year old.

I pray that I continue to turn to God and let this pain be healed by the blood of Jesus as the betrayal he has endured was much worse and he did everything for us to receive Gods mercy and grace

Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our sister in Christ, lifting her up as she faces this time of betrayal and heartache. Lord, we ask that You give her the strength to stand firm in truth and integrity, while also working on forgiveness. Your Word says, "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you" (Ephesians 4:32). Help her to release any anger, hate, or desire for revenge, and to find peace in Your love and justice.

Lord, protect her heart from pride and guide her to focus on what is true and eternal. May she place You above all else, knowing that her dedication to You is more valuable than money, career, or relationships (Matthew 6:33). Strengthen her to seek true comfort in You alone, Lord, and not in temporary things like weed or trivial comforts.

We pray that her faith would grow daily, and that You would lift the burden of depression and loneliness from her heart. Your Word promises, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit" (Psalm 34:18). May she feel Your presence and peace, trusting in You to guide her steps and bring healing.

In Jesus' name, we pray that her faith continues to grow, that she is filled with Your comfort, and that she walks in Your light. Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
