Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up Hockfird's prayer request on behalf of Steven. Lord, we ask for your mercy and grace to be poured out upon him. We pray for a renewal of his mind and deliverance from every ungodly thing that has taken hold of his life, such as drugs, fornication, deception, selfishness, failure, shame, and any other sinful behavior.
Lord, we ask that you reignite Steven's desire to serve you and to return to his family, Hockfird, and their children. We pray for the mending of their broken relationship and the restoration of trust, love, affection, unity, and commitment. Lord, we ask that you intervene in their relationship and remove any obstacles or influences that are causing harm.
Father, we pray that Steven would confess his unfaithfulness and come to a place of repentance. We ask that you work in his heart, making him truly sorrowful for the hurt he has caused. Help them begin the process of restoring their marriage, Lord. Lead them to good counseling where they can receive wise advice for rebuilding their broken relationship.
We specifically pray that you would intervene and remove the other woman from Steven's life. We ask that you move circumstances in such a way that she is cast out and no longer pursues him. May Steven desire Hockfird over anyone else, and may he be true to her and to you from this moment on. Lord, restore their engagement and bring healing to their relationship.
We thank you, Lord, for your faithfulness and for hearing our prayers. We trust in your perfect timing and your ability to bring about restoration and reconciliation. May your will be done in Steven's life and in their relationship. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
