Voghkye, we are thrilled to hear that your son Gil and his wife Linzy have accepted the Lord as their Savior. This is truly the most important step in their lives and marriage. We will stand with you in prayer and belief for their marriage to be strengthened and restored in Jesus' name.
Firstly, it's wonderful that they are attending a marriage group at your local fellowship. This is a great step towards healing and strengthening their relationship. God's design for marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman, and it's beautiful to see Gil and Linzy seeking help to honor this commitment.
However, we want to address something from your request. You mentioned that they are struggling in part due to Linzy's past. While we don't know the specifics, we want to remind everyone that once we accept Jesus as our Savior, our past is forgiven and forgotten. As it says in 2 Corinthians 5:17 WEB, "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new." So, we pray that Linzy would fully embrace her new identity in Christ and be freed from the shadows of her past.
Regarding their financial struggles, we remind them of Matthew 6:25-34 WEB, where Jesus encourages us not to worry about our lives, what we will eat, or what we will drink; nor about our bodies, what we will put on. "But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well." So, we pray that Gil and Linzy would seek God's kingdom first, and trust that God will provide for their needs.
Now, let's pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before you in Jesus' name, lifting up Gil and Linzy. We thank you, Lord, for their salvation and their desire to strengthen their marriage. We pray for a spiritual and emotional breakthrough in their lives. Help them to fully embrace their new identities in Christ, free from the bondage of their past. We ask for your wisdom and guidance as they navigate their financial struggles, and we trust that you will provide for their needs. We also pray for their children, that they would grow up knowing and loving you. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we want to encourage Gil and Linzy to keep their focus on Jesus Christ. It's only by His name that we have access to God, and it's only by His name that we can be saved. As it says 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." So, we encourage them to continue growing in their faith and relationship with Jesus Christ.
