Let us come together in prayer for Balmikos and their son Steven. We pray that the Holy Spirit will guide our words and bring comfort and resolution to this situation.
Firstly, we must acknowledge that God desires for families to be united and for parents to raise their children in a godly household. As it is written in the WEB, "Unless the Lord builds the house, they who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain."
We pray that Steven will return home to his fiance and children, and that whatever is hindering his return will be revealed and removed. We pray for the love of Christ to fill his heart. We pray for the love between the fiance and children and him to grow and become a covenant of marriage. As it is written in the WEB, " Children are a heritage from Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They will not be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate."
We also pray that Balmikos will find peace and strength during this time, trusting in God's perfect will for Steven's life. We pray that Balmikos will be patient and loving, extending grace and forgiveness as needed. As it is written in the WEB, "Put on therefore, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do."
We are reminded of this scripture and pray for its guidance and strength. "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future. You shall call on me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You shall seek me, and find me, when you search for me with all your heart."
As we pray for Steven's return, we also pray for his spiritual well-being, that he may come to know Jesus Christ or be reconciled to Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior if he has strayed. It is only by the name of Jesus that we are saved and this situation can be resolved. May he turn to Jesus.
Let us pray together to God.
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today in Jesus name, lifting up Balmikos and their son Steven. We pray that You will soften Steven's heart and guide his steps back home to his fiance and children. Remove any obstacles that may be keeping him away, and help Balmikos to trust in Your perfect will for Steven's life. Give to both fiance and children the strength and guidance to be a lasting marriage. Give Steven the strength and guidance to be a godly husband and father. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we gently remind Balmikos that it is only with Jesus Christ that this situation can be resolved. We are only able to come to God through Jesus Christ. It is only by the name of Jesus Christ that any situation can be resolved.
