We are truly saddened to hear about the struggles in Violettath's marriage, but we are encouraged by her faith in the power of prayer. We stand with her in the name of Jesus Christ, and we join her in praying for Gary and their marriage.
Firstly, we acknowledge that marriage is a sacred bond, a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman, as outlined in the Bible. As it is written in Mark 10:9 WEB, What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate. Therefore, we pray for the reconciliation of Gary and Jane's marriage, asking God to soften Gary's heart and open it to his wife of 31 years.
We pray that Gary will return home and seek therapy for his obsession with money. As the Bible tells us in 1 Timothy 6:10 WEB, For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows. We pray that Gary will receive the Holy Spirit and become a giving and loving husband, putting his wife and their marriage above material wealth.
We also pray that Gary will see his wrongdoings and the abuse he has inflicted on Jane. We pray that he will sincerely apologize to her and seek her forgiveness. As it is written in Matthew 5:23-24 WEB, If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
We pray for open and honest communication between Gary and Jane, as understanding and unity cannot be achieved without it. As it is written in Ephesians 4:32 WEB, And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God also in Christ forgave you. We pray that Gary will forgive Jane for her mistakes, and that they will find peace, love, and patience with each other.
Finally, we pray that Gary and Jane will enjoy the rest of their lives together, walking in the love of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit. We declare this in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is written 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. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God, and it is only by His name that we can be saved. Therefore it is important to approach God in the name of Jesus Christ.
It is also important to note that our Christian faith teaches us that God hates divorce as mentioned in Malachi 2:16. Therefore, we encourage Violettath to continue praying for her marriage and for Gary, trusting in the power of God to restore and reconcile.
We also encourage Violettath to seek support from her local church and Christian community, as they can provide practical help and spiritual guidance during this challenging time. We remind her that she is not alone, and that God is always with her, even in the darkest of times. As it is written in Deuteronomy 31:6 WEB, Be strong and courageous. Don't be afraid or scared of them; for Yahweh your God himself is who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you."
Lord Jesus, You see Violettath's pain and You hear her cry. You love her and Gary more than we can ever comprehend. We ask You to intervene in their marriage, to soften Gary's heart and open it to his wife. We ask You to help him see his wrongdoings and seek forgiveness. We pray that You will heal their marriage and restore their love for each other. We ask all of this in Your precious name, Lord Jesus. Amen.
