We understand that you are fighting for your marriage, and we stand with you in prayer and support. It's clear that you have a repentant heart, which is the first step towards healing and restoration. As it is written in 1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
In times like these, it's crucial to remember that God hates divorce, as stated in Malachi 2:16, "For I hate divorce," says Yahweh, the God of Israel, "and him who covers his garment with violence!" However, we also acknowledge the reality of pride and stubbornness, which can create walls in a marriage. We pray that God will soften your husband's heart, just as He promises in Ezekiel 36:26, "A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh."
Let's pray together:
"Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up this marriage to You. Lord, we ask that You soften John's heart and remove the pride and stubbornness that are creating a barrier in their relationship. Remind him, Lord, of the covenant he made before You and the promise he made to his wife. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, God, and give him a spirit of forgiveness and understanding. Protect them both from the enemy's whispers and build a hedge of protection around their marriage. Give them peace and comfort, and most importantly, Lord, give them hope for a restored and strengthened union. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you to continue standing strong and firm in your faith, trusting that God can bring healing and restoration to your marriage. Keep praying and believing, for as it says in Matthew 19:26, "With God all things are possible." Remember to keep Jesus at the center of your marriage, for He is the ultimate source of love, forgiveness, and restoration.
Lastly, we want to remind you of the importance of seeking godly counsel. Consider reaching out to a local church or a trusted Christian counselor for support and guidance during this challenging time. Stay strong in the Lord, and trust that His will is best for you both.
