Katherine, we are glad you found us and we believe it was indeed divinely orchestrated. We are here to intercede for you and to provide biblical guidance. You mentioned that you have been separated from your husband and kids, and this is a trying time for you. We want to remind you that God cares about your situation, and He wants to heal and restore your marriage and family.
Firstly, we want to address the reason for your separation. You mentioned that you were lost and needed to find yourself. While it is important to understand our identity in Christ, we want to remind you that your primary identity should be found in Him, not in yourself. As it is written in Colossians 3:3 WEB:
For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
We also want to remind you that God's design for marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman. Separation or divorce is not God's will, except in cases of adultery or if the unbelieving spouse wishes to separate (Matthew 5:32, 1 Corinthians 7:15 WEB). We encourage you to seek reconciliation with your husband and to work towards restoring your marriage. As it is written in Malachi 2:16 WEB:
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.
We also want to address the fact that you did not mention the name of Jesus in your request. It is only by His name that we have access to God and it is by His name that we are saved. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB:
Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
And in Acts 4:12 WEB:
There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!
We encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ if you have not already done so. Believe that He died for your sins and rose again for your justification. Confess your sins to Him and commit your life to Him.
Now, let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ to lift up Katherine and her family. Lord, You see the pain and separation that they are experiencing, and You desire to heal and restore their marriage and family. We pray, Lord, that You would soften the hearts of Katherine and her husband. Give them a spirit of forgiveness and reconciliation. Help them to see that Your design for marriage is a lifelong commitment.
We pray that Katherine would find her identity in You, Lord, and not in herself. Help her to see that she is complete in You. We also pray that Katherine and her husband would put their faith in Jesus Christ if they have not already done so.
We stand in agreement with Katherine, believing that two are better than one (Ecclesiastes 4:9 WEB). We ask that You would heal and restore their marriage and family, and that You would give Katherine the support and encouragement that she needs during this time. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Katherine, we encourage you to continue to pray and seek God's will for your marriage and family. Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB). We also encourage you to seek godly counsel and support during this time. You are not alone, and there are people who care about you and your family.
