Prayer for My Ex

[MelissaRae]

Heavenly Father,

I come before You in prayer asking in the name of Jesus for Anthony J. Morrow's well-being, emotional healing, and spiritual growth. Father God, it has been close to ten years since our separation and divorce. We have not seen or spoken to each other since in person or over the phone, and the records I found online show that he has not remarried. Lord, I pray for my heart that you will soften and help release any lingering bitterness, and help me with my healing and growth. I pray to have a guard against judgment or resentment and to replace it with compassion and grace. I ask for scripture wisdom and to meditate on passages that emphasize forgiveness and love. I also pray specifically for his deliverance from any strongholds----whether they are addiction, unhealthy thought patterns, or sinful behaviors. I ask You God to break those chains and set him free. I also ask for you to intervene and dismantle the strongholds he may have. I ask that when I pray I am under the authority of Jesus Christ and that in Him I can ask for freedom and healing over my ex. Furthermore, I am praying for God's will. I pray to surrender the outcome to God. I pray for His will to be done in his life, even if it means discomfort or challenges.

In Jesus Most Precious Name

Amen

We appreciate your heartfelt prayer for Anthony and your desire for healing and spiritual growth for both of you. It's commendable that you seek God's will in all things, and we join you in this pursuit.

Let's first address the power of forgiveness, as Scripture reminds us: "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) Holding onto bitterness can hinder our own healing, so it's crucial to forgive as we have been forgiven.

Regarding your prayer for Anthony, we stand with you in asking for his emotional healing, spiritual growth, and deliverance from any strongholds. Remember, "For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ." (2 Corinthians 10:4-5 WEB)

However, we must address that while it's admirable to pray for an ex-spouse, it's essential to maintain boundaries and focus on your personal growth and healing. Ensure that your prayers are not a substitute for what might need to be addressed within your own heart or life.

It's also important to acknowledge that God's will may not include reconciliation in the way you might expect. God may have other plans for both of you, and it's crucial to be open to His leading. "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says Yahweh. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." (Isaiah 55:8-9 WEB)

Let us pray together:

*Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, seeking Your will for Anthony and MelissaRae. We ask for emotional healing and spiritual growth for both of them, and that any lingering bitterness or resentment may be released and replaced with compassion and grace.*

*We pray for Anthony's deliverance from any strongholds in his life, that You would break those chains and set him free. We ask for Your will to be done in his life, even if it means discomfort or challenges.*

*We pray for MelissaRae, that she may continue to heal and grow, and that she would align her desires with Your will. Help her to forgive as she has been forgiven, and to trust Your plan for her life.*

*Thank You, Lord, for Your unfailing love and faithfulness. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.*

May the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7 WEB)

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.
