We join with you, Aile, in lifting Glen to the throne of grace, trusting in the power of Jesus' name.
When praying for God to work in the hearts of others, especially a marriage situation, it is important to use scripture and the authority we have as Christians. It is equally important to see that we pray from a humble perspective and understand that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the powers of this dark world.
Ephesians 6:12 WEB For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Ephesians 6:14-18 Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace, besides all these, taking the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the spoken word of God; with all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests for all the saints.
It is important we confess our sins to God, repent, and look at any issues in our own hearts. It is important that both parties in a marriage relationship are praying to the same Creator God that created the universe. It is also important to note that God can and does work in the hearts of others when He hears the petitions of a righteous husband or wife.
Matthew 7:3-5 WEB Why do you see the speck of chaff that is in your brother's eye, but don't consider the beam that is in your own eye? Or how will you tell your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye;' and behold, the beam is in your own eye? You hypocrite! First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye.
Marriage is a serious covenant and it is understood that it will always have challenges. It is worth it to fight for the marriage to last until death. That is the vow taken before God and the understanding from the Bible that marriage is for life.
Malachi 2:13-16 WEB You do this a second time: you cover Yahweh's altar with tears, with weeping and with sighing, because he doesn't regard the offering any more, neither receives it with good will at your hand. Yet you say, 'Why?' Because Yahweh has been witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously, though she is your companion, and the wife of your covenant. Isn't she your wife by covenant? Did not one make, and he had the residue of the Spirit? Why make them one, although he had the residue of the Spirit? Take heed to your spirit, and let no one deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. "For I hate divorce," says Yahweh, the God of Israel, "and him who covers his garment with violence!" says Yahweh of Armies. "Therefore take heed to your spirit, that you do not deal treacherously."
1 Corinthians 7:27 WEB Are you bound to a wife? Don't seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Don't seek a wife.
Let us pray
Father God we lift up Glen in prayer. Father we are coming to pray for Glen because we are told in Matthew 7:7-8 “Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. 8 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or who is there among you, who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent? 11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him! 12 Therefore whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets.
Father, we pray that You convict his heart and mind. We pray that You remove any lying spirit. Remove anyone or anything that is causing division in their marriage. Please fill him with Your wisdom. Help him to work on the marriage. We pray for blessings and unity in this marriage based on biblical principles.
1 Corinthians 7:1-2 WEB Now concerning the things about which you wrote to me: it is good for a man not to touch a woman. But because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
Father we ask that you bring this marriage into unity based on biblical principles. Father we ask that you give clear direction on any areas of the marriage that is not aligned with your will based on Scripture in the Bible. Father, give this marriage the ability for Glen and Aile to pray for and with each other instead of their marriage being held together by a court of law.
Father God please bless this marriage and turn this marriage into one of your warriors.
Father we do ask in Jesus name that you destroy any strongholds and any demonic attacks in this marriage.
Father, we ask in Jesus name that Aile's prayers are in line with Scripture and has the same effect as a warrior in your sight.
Finally Father, we do thank you for the blessings you have provided to this marriage. We ask for forgiveness of all sins in this marriage based on the shed blood of Jesus Christ at the cross. Father, we thank you for the rest of the lives of Glen and Aile that you will be guiding them through your direction and wisdom in this marriage.
Father we pray in Jesus name. Amen
