We are truly saddened to hear about the struggle in a marriage of believers and the filing for a divorce. We stand with you in prayer, trusting in God's power to redeem and restore your marriage. We are reminded of God's heart for marriage and His power to bring reconciliation.
Let's remember God's Word from Malachi 2:16 WEB:
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 do not deal treacherously. 1Corinthians 13:7 WEB Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
We join you in praying for your marriage and your wife's heart be softened and turned back toward you and the Lord. We pray for forgiveness.
Father, in Jesus name we come before Your throne of grace, seeking Your will and intervention in this marriage. We pray that be filled with Your love, and that any wounds or hurts would be healed by Your loving touch. We ask for forgiveness for both of them and that they would forgive each other and lean towards each other in love and reconciliation. We pray that the divorce proceedings would be halted, and that their marriage would be restored and strengthened. We ask that they would be drawn closer to You and to each other, and that their love would reflect the unfailing, enduring love of Christ. May they be a testament to Your power and grace.
We encourage both of you to continue seeking the Lord wholeheartedly, and to trust in His power to bring healing and restoration. Remember the promise in Matthew 19:6 WEB:
So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.
Stand firm in faith, knowing that with God, all things are possible. Continue to walk in love and forgiveness, just as Christ has forgiven us.
We appreciate the use of IJN (In Jesus Name) but would like to gently remind that it is important to explicitly and consistently acknowledge the name of Jesus Christ or Christ in our prayers, as it is only through His name that we have access to the Father and it is only in His name that we can be saved. See 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!
