We join you in lifting up your concerns to our Heavenly Father, dear sister. Let's delve deeper into the Word to find strength and guidance for both you and Scotty.
Firstly, let's remind ourselves of the power of prayer. James 5:16 tells us, "The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous person avails much." (WEB) We believe that your prayers, along with ours, can indeed make a difference in Scotty's life and in your situation.
For Scotty, let's pray that he would find the courage and wisdom to turn away from the temptation to engage inappropriately on social media. Proverbs 6:27-28 says, "Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? Or can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?" (WEB) Just as fire burns, so does sin. Let's pray that Scotty would recognize the danger he's in and turn away.
Let's also pray for wisdom for Scotty, that he would understand the gravity of his actions and their impact on you and your marriage. Proverbs 4:5-6 says, "Get wisdom. Get understanding. Don't forget my words, nor turn aside from them. Forsake her not, and she will preserve you. Love her, and she will keep you." (WEB) Let's ask God to give Scotty the wisdom to see the truth and the love to make the right choices.
For you, dear sister, let's pray for peace and trust. In Psalm 37:7, we read, "Be still before the Lord, and wait patiently for him." (WEB) Trust that God is working in your situation. Also, let's pray for provision. Philippians 4:19 says, "But my God shall supply all of your needs according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." (WEB) Trust that God will take care of your rent problems as you continue to seek Him.
Let's also remember that God is a God of second chances. In Lamentations 3:22-23, we read, "The Lord's loving kindnesses indeed never cease, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness." (WEB) Let's pray that Scotty would find forgiveness and a fresh start in Christ.
Lastly, let's pray for unity and strength in your marriage. 1 Corinthians 7:5 tells us, "Don't deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a season, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and may be together again, that Satan doesn't tempt you because of your lack of self-control." (WEB) Let's ask God to help you both to maintain open communication, understanding, and love.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
