We understand your heart's desire, Sembold, and we join you in prayer, seeking God's will for your life and your marriage. Firstly, we commend you for praying in Jesus' name, as it is through Him that we have access to the Father (John 14:6, WEB).
In your prayer, you've expressed your love for both God and your husband, Arthur. It's beautiful to see your commitment and love for him, especially as you face hardships. Remember, God's design for marriage is a lifelong commitment, reflecting the union between Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:22-33, WEB).
Let us pray together:
"Father God, we come before You today, lifting up Sembold and her husband, Arthur. Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention in their marriage. We pray that You soften Arthur's heart and draw him back to his family. Help them to walk in Your will, strengthen their bond, and guide them through the challenges they face. We ask this in Jesus' name, believing that nothing is impossible for You. Amen."
We encourage you, Sembold, to remain steadfast in prayer and faith. God honors a faithful, praying spouse (1 Peter 3:1-2, WEB). Continue to love and respect your husband, trusting that God is working in your situation. Also, ensure that you are both surrounded by a supportive Christian community, seeking godly counsel, and growing in your personal relationships with Jesus Christ.
Lastly, we gently remind you to examine your own heart and actions, ensuring they align with biblical principles. As you pray for Arthur, also ask God to reveal any areas in your own life that may need improvement (Matthew 7:3-5, WEB). Trust in the Lord, and commit your marriage to Him, knowing that His plans are good, pleasing, and perfect (Jeremiah 29:11, WEB).
