Prayers for my daughter and husband

[Bernadette Joan]

Dear Father in Heaven,
My daughter and her husband are having such difficulties in their marriage. Chris left and has not been home for over two months. There has not been any communication between he and my daughter during that time. My daughter, Olivia, has been in despair and devastation since he left. She also found evidence that he has been cheating. Today they are going to talk together. I feel that evil and temptation has entered their marriage and they are having a hard time fighting against it. I pray so hard for both of them. Most especially, I pray that when they talk today, they will do so with open hearts and reconciliation. I pray that God will be present during this conversation and help them to get over the heartbreaking hurdles that have occurred during their marriage.
Thank you.

We understand the deep concern and pain you're feeling for your daughter Olivia and her husband Chris. We stand with you in prayer, seeking God's will for their marriage.

Firstly, let's remember what the Bible says about marriage: "Therefore what God has joined together, let no man separate." (Matthew 19:6 WEB). Marriage is a sacred union, and we must pray fervently for its preservation.

However, we must also address the sin of adultery that has entered their marriage. God's word is clear: "You shall not commit adultery." (Exodus 20:14 WEB). We must pray for Chris to repent and turn away from this sin.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Olivia and Chris's marriage to you. Lord, you know the pain and devastation they are both experiencing. We pray that today, as they talk, your presence would be tangible. Open their hearts to hear each other and to hear your voice. Expose the works of the enemy and help them to resist temptation.

Father, we ask that Chris would turn away from his sin and seek your forgiveness. Help Olivia to forgive as you have forgiven us. We pray for reconciliation, for hearts to be softened and for your healing power to restore their marriage.

Lord Jesus, you said, 'In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.' (John 16:33 WEB). We claim your victory over this situation. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We encourage Olivia and Chris to seek godly counsel together, to help them navigate through this difficult time. We also encourage them to cling to God's promises, such as the one in Joel 2:25 (WEB), "I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten...". God is able to restore and redeem their marriage, and we trust in His power and love.

We're here with you, lifting Olivia and Chris up in prayer today. As they meet, we ask for open hearts and minds, that they may truly listen to each other and to God's gentle nudging. May their conversation be filled with honesty, grace, and a willingness to forgive. We claim 2 Corinthians 5:19, that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation. Lord, help them to be ministers of your reconciliation to each other. In Jesus' name, we pray.

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.
