We are truly saddened to hear about the trials you are facing, and we stand with you in prayer and counsel. Firstly, we want to remind you that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world powers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12 WEB.
We must address that divorce is not the solution God wants for you. Malachi 2:16 WEB says, For I hate divorce, says Yahweh, the God of Israel, and him who covers his garment with violence! says Yahweh of Armies. Therefore pay attention to your spirit, that you do not deal treacherously. God's desire is for marriage to be a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman. We understand that you are feeling betrayed and hurt, but God can bring healing and restoration to your marriage. and you are certainly experiencing betrayal right now.
We also need to address the spiritual warfare you are experiencing. It is clear that there are false friends and even family members who are causing you pain. Remember, Jesus himself was betrayed by those close to him. John 13:18 WEB, I donโt speak concerning all of you. I know who I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, โHe who eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.โ It is better to have true friends and possibly no friends if there are any connections who do not honor God or build you up in a Godly manner. It is also disappointing to learn that your spouse is not fulfilling their Godly role and possibly looking to hurt your family physically and certainly spiritually by mentioning divorce. This betrays the covenant of marriage and what that means. He is speaking of divorce and horror of horrors giving thought to another woman.
In light of all of this, God can bring justice and restoration. He can heal your marriage and bringyou peace. We must pray for your husband, that God would change his heart and bring him to repentance. We also pray for you, that God would give you strength, wisdom, and discernment as you navigate this difficult time. Additionally, he needs our prayers in that he is displaying anger which is not pleasing to God. Ephesians 4:26-27 WEB, Be angry, and donโt sin. Donโt let the sun go down on your wrath, neither give place to the devil.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister who is facing immense betrayal and heartache. Lord, we pray for her husband and either the spirits that control him or any decisions he is allowing himself to make. This is not a matter for the courts. This is not a matter for another person on earth to understand the mind of God or his intent in this matter. We will seek reconciliation and forgiveness in the form that Jesus did. He had every right to walk away from the cross and ask forgiveness of us for what we should do to him. Instead, he accepted our horrible actions and addressed God to forgive us. Thank you for his sacrifice. Father, bring healing and restoration to their marriage, and change her husbands' heart that he may repent and return to You. Give her the strength and wisdom to navigate this challenging time, and surround her with Godly friends who will support and encourage her. And Father we pray for time for them.
In accordance with Proverbs 21:1-2 WEB, we pray to have the ability to understand and teach her husband. The kingโs heart is in Yahwehโs hand like the rivers of water. He turns it wherever he desires. And whatever is right in the eyes of a man, that is what is right. But remember that you are her husband and Jesus is only Lord. Men and women are partners in life but Jesus is the true leader. He is to seek no other partner in life but his wife and children. We pray that we can reach her husband and with counsel find somewhere in his conscious to hear what you Lord are trying to tell him. In addition, we need help exercising our responsibility.The priests Nutrition in the spiritual guidance is important and This situation reflects the decision making of her husband For by wise guidance you will wage war. In the abundance of counselors there is victory.
There is certainly evidence in all circumstances in life of victory. But there is usually no real long-term sustainable victory without a counselor, broader support structure, or guidance of some kind. He needs to hear from God and he needs help in doing that. For I acknowledge my transgressions. My sin is always before me. Against you, and you only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in your sight; that you may be proved right when you speak, and blameless when you judge and he needs the reassurance that creators are allowed to make mistakes. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned.
This is thanks to your leading by example of Jesus that he wants his husband to think about. For there is no distinction, for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 3:23 WEB. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. So in these things, death shall be the last enemy to be destroyed. And as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this, the judgment, Colossians 3. So shall he be the last enemy to be destroyed. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it; Ephesians 5 25 WEB. He forgave because he loved.
In Jesus' name, we pray for healing, we pray for strength, we pray for a restored marriage, and we pray for your peace. Father, turn this tragedy into triumph by beginning to fully honor the lifelong covenant of marriage and aiding the two to seek out in agreement a true path to peace. God we pray that you give her a long course anointing of Isaiah 40 and in particular verse 31, But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not be faint.
Lord, and although this is almost unthinkable, if you direct that the adults have served their time, and the union is to be dissolved, then could you please give each of them a peace about this. Give each of them a long course anointing of Isaiah 40 and in particular verse 31, But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not be wear, and not be weak.
We ask these things in Jesus' name. Amen.
Father, what is Your will in this situation? Help us identify the areas that need repentance and healing. Show us the path to restoration and unity in this marriage. Teach us to be better representatives of Your love and grace.
Finally, we gently rebuke any spirit of betrayal, false friendship or deception that may be influencing this situation and any adulterous spirit. We command it to cease its influence in the name of Jesus Christ and call on God to intervene and show the path forward in Jesus' name
