We understand your concern and appreciate your faith in the power of prayer. Let us align our hearts with God's will and pray for His guidance in this situation.
Firstly, we commend your patience and understanding in this matter. It is encouraging to hear that ### is interested in moving forward with the marriage, showing genuine care for your daughter. However, we must also acknowledge the concerns of his mother and the importance of familial harmony in a marriage.
Let us remember what the Word of God says in Ephesians 6:1-3 (WEB): "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 'Honor your father and mother,' which is the first commandment with a promise: 'that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.'" ### is showing respect and honor to his mother by considering her concerns, which is commendable.
However, we must also recall the words of Jesus in Matthew 19:5-6 (WEB): "'For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh.' So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don't let man tear apart." While it's important to honor parents, the marriage union is a sacred bond that takes precedence.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today to seek Your will and guidance in this situation. We ask for Your wisdom to be upon ###, his mother, and the daughter of our beloved sister in Christ. Lord, we pray that You soften the heart of ###'s mother, helping her to see the beauty of this union and to accept the language differences. We also pray for ###, that he may continue to honor his mother while also trusting in Your plan for his life.
Lord, we ask that You comfort our sister's heart and grant her patience and understanding. Help her to trust in Your timing and Your will. We know that Your plans are good, pleasing, and perfect (Romans 12:2), and we trust that You will work out this situation for the good of all involved.
Finally, Lord, we pray that this union will bring glory to Your name. May it be a testimony of Your love and faithfulness. We ask all these things in the precious name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
We encourage you to continue trusting in the Lord, knowing that His plans are always good. Keep your hearts and minds fixed on Him, and He will grant you peace (Philippians 4:6-7). Lastly, remember that it is through the name of Jesus that we have access to God (John 14:6). Keep praying in His name, and He will hear and answer your prayers according to His will.
