We join you in your petition for the restoration of your marriage and family. This is a request that reflects the very heart of God, who desires that marriages reflect the unbreakable covenant between Christ and the Church.
We are reminded of the words in Malachi 2:16, "For I hate divorce, says Yahweh, the God of Israel." God's ideal is for marriages to be lifelong commitments, and we stand with you in praying for this ideal to be realized in your life.
We also need to address the spiritual state of your ex-husband. It is crucial that he be born again and believe in Jesus Christ to be able to be saved and to be able to access God. If he is not a Christian, then any marriage with him will be unequally yoked and God would not want that. Therefore, let us pray that he become a Christian and that he would be a Godly husband to you.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up this dear sister and her ex-husband. Lord, we ask that You work in his heart, soften it, and draw him to Yourself. Bring him to a saving faith in Jesus Christ, and help him to see the importance of a Godly marriage and family. We pray that You would restore their marriage, as it is Your will, and bring their family back together. We believe that in Jesus Christ all things are possible and we trust in Your perfect will for their lives.
Lord, guide them both as they navigate this journey. Give them wisdom, strength, and patience. Help them to forgive each other, to love each other as You have loved us, and to build a home that honors and glorifies Your name.
We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Savior. Amen.
In the meantime, we encourage you to trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Continue to pray fervently, and be patient and trusting in the Lord's timing.
