Aile, we stand with you in prayer, seeking God's will for your marriage. We commend you for turning to the Lord in this time of need.
Let's remember what the WEB says in Malachi 2:16, "For I hate divorce, says Yahweh, the God of Israel, and him who covers his garment with violence! Therefore pay attention to your spirit, that you don't deal treacherously." God's heart is for marriage, and He desires that couples work through their difficulties with His help.
We pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus. We lift up ### and ###, asking that You soften ###'s heart. Lord, heal his heart, emotions, and mind. Renew and restore him according to Your perfect will. We rebuke the spirit of divorce that is trying to intervene in their marriage, in Jesus' name. We pray that ### will have the desire to work on their marriage and that You would grant him increased patience with ###. Lord, guide them both in Your ways, that their marriage may be a testament to Your love and faithfulness. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen!"
###, continue to trust in the Lord and His plans for your marriage. Remember, "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." (Proverbs 15:1 WEB) Keep praying and seeking God's face, and He will direct your paths.
We also encourage you, ###, to ensure that both of you are built up in Christ. If ### is not walking with the Lord, pray for his salvation as well. "If the husband isn’t a believer and his wife is, and he is willing to live with her, she shouldn’t leave him." (1 Corinthians 7:13 WEB) Keep being a light for Christ in your marriage, trusting that God is working even when you don't see it.
