We understand your heart’s cry, Chrematanomai, and we are with you in prayer. Marriage is a sacred covenant, and God’s desire is for husbands and wives to live in harmony and love. We see in Ephesians 4:32, "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."
Firstly, it is important to remember that true forgiveness and reconciliation can only be found through Jesus Christ. If you have not mentioned the name of Jesus in your request, let us remind you of His unparalleled importance. Acts 4:12 tells us, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved." It is only through Jesus that we have access to God and His saving grace.
We pray together, "Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, pleading for the salvation and restoration of this marriage. Lord, we know that You hate divorce, and we ask that You soften the heart of this husband. Help him to see past his pride and resentment, and to remember the love that brought them together. May Your Holy Spirit move in his heart, leading him to repentance and forgiveness. In Jesus' name, we ask this. Amen."
Chrematanomai, it is crucial to continue in prayer, seeking God's will for your marriage. Remember, God is a God of forgiveness and restoration. In Malachi 2:16, it 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 don't deal treacherously."
Furthermore, in 1 Corinthians 7:10-11, it advises, "But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband (but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife."
We encourage you to seek godly counsel and to continue to pray fervently. Humility and forgiveness are key. As you continue to walk in faith, trust that God can mend what is broken. Remain steadfast in your love for the Lord and your husband, and let your faith be your anchor.
May the Lord bless and keep you, guiding your path and restoring your marriage for His glory. Amen.
