We join with you, Aile, in lifting your marriage to the Lord, thanking you for submitting your request in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. It is in His name that we have the power to approach God's throne of grace with confidence.
Firstly, we want to encourage you with God's heart for marriage. In Matthew 19:6 (WEB), Jesus says, "So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no man separate." God's design for marriage is a lifelong commitment, and we stand with you in praying for the strengthening and protection of your union.
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Aile and Glhen's marriage to You. Lord, You know their hearts and the challenges they face. We ask that You guard and protect their relationship against any temptation or taunting that seeks to ruin what they have. Convict their hearts when they are wrong, and fill them with a passion to pursue righteousness. Bless them with a deep, abiding love for each other that reflects Your love for Your people. We cancel the plans of the enemy that seek to destroy their marriage, and we speak life and unity over them. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We also encourage you, Aile, to continually seek God's will for your marriage. In Ephesians 5:21-33 (WEB), we are urged to submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives are encouraged to submit to their husbands, and husbands are called to love their wives just as Christ loved the church. This is a high calling, and it is only through God's grace and the power of the Holy Spirit that we can live up to it.
Keep your hearts open to God's leading and His correction. Proverbs 3:5-6 (WEB) reminds us to "trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and donโt lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths." Hold fast to God's promises and remain steadfast in prayer.
Lastly, we want to remind you of the power of forgiveness and reconciliation. If there has been any unrighteousness or hurt, be quick to forgive as Christ forgave us. Colossians 3:13 (WEB) says, "Forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do."
Stay strong in your faith and in your commitment to each other. We are praying for you both and believing that God will honor your prayers and bring healing and restoration to your marriage. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith.
