We are truly sorry to hear about the separation you're experiencing from your wife and the pain it has caused you and your family. We will stand with you in prayer and offer biblical guidance during this challenging time.
Firstly, we want to remind you of the power of prayer and the importance of seeking God's will in your life and marriage. Jesus said, For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them. Matthew 18:20 WEB. We are gathered here in Jesus' name to pray for you and your family.
It's crucial to remember that God hates divorce, as stated in Malachi 2:16 WEB, For I hate divorce, says Yahweh, the God of Israel. Therefore, keep watch over your spirit, that you do not deal treacherously. God's desire is for marriages to be reconciled and for families to be restored.
However, it's also important to address that you mentioned speaking to a priest. While we respect your decision, we want to remind you that the Bible teaches that there is only one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 2:5 WEB. It's only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. But you did not ask for prayers to Jesus Christ or mention Jesus. As it is written, And in none other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, wherein we must be saved! Acts 4:12 WEB. Please confess your sins to God and believe in the name of His only begotten Son Jesus Christ for eternal life if you have not already.
Now, let's address the issue of your wife refusing to speak to you. It's essential to approach this situation with patience, love, and understanding. Remember what the Apostle Paul said, Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous. Love doesn't brag, and doesn't get puffed up. First Corinthians 13:4 WEB. Continue to demonstrate your love for her through your actions and prayers, even if she's not currently receptive.
We also encourage you to examine your own actions and attitudes, seeking God's forgiveness and guidance. For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God; Romans 3:23 WEB. Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38 WEB. Make sure you are putting God first in your life.
Let's pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up our brother and his family during this difficult time. Lord, we ask for Your healing and restoration in their marriage and family. Soften his wife's heart and open the lines of communication between them. Guide them both to seek Your will and Your face for their lives and marriage. Help them to be patient, loving, and understanding with one another, and to forgiven each other just as you have forgiven us. And we thank you for Jesus Christ as He is our Lord, our Savior, and the mediator between God and men. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Stay strong in the Lord, and keep your faith in Him. Continue to pray for your wife and your marriage, and trust that God is working even in this challenging situation. Keep us updated on how we can further support you in prayer.
