We understand your heart's cry and stand with you in prayer, seeking God's healing and restoration. It's crucial to remember that God is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18, WEB).
Firstly, let's address the emotional struggles you're facing. Anger, jealousy, and hatred are indeed sins that need to be dealt with, and God is faithful to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9, WEB). The Bible tells us to "let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice" (Ephesians 4:31, WEB). Instead, we should be kind, tenderhearted, and forgiving, just as God through Christ has forgiven us.
Regarding your marriage, we understand that distance can be challenging. However, God's will is for marriage to be a lifelong commitment, a sacred union between a man and a woman (Matthew 19:4-6, WEB). We encourage you to pray for strength, patience, and wisdom to navigate this season of distance. Seek God's will for your marriage, and trust that He will guide your steps (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB).
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up our brother/sister in need of Your healing touch. Lord, You know the struggles they face - the anger, jealousy, hatred, and sin that have taken root in their heart. We ask that You would forgive them, cleanse them, and heal their heart and soul. Help them to overcome these feelings and to walk in love and forgiveness, just as You have forgiven us through Christ Jesus.
Lord, we also pray for their marriage. We know that distance can be hard, but we trust that Your will is for marriages to be strong, loving, and committed. Please guide them, give them patience, and draw them closer to You and to each other.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we noticed that your request didn't mention the name of Jesus. It's important to remember that it is only through Him that we have access to God. As the Bible says, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). If you haven't already, we encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ, believing that He died for your sins and rose again, so that you might have eternal life (John 3:16, WEB).
