Thank you for sharing your prayer request, Sumugyr. We understand that you are seeking God's will for your current receptionist and her husband as they plan to move to North Dakota to work on their marriage. Let us pray together and seek God's guidance based on His Word.
Firstly, it is commendable that you are concerned about their marriage and family. The Bible tells us in Hebrews 13:4 (WEB), "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled. But God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers." It is indeed important to support and pray for marriages, as they are a sacred institution ordained by God.
However, we must also consider the intentions behind our prayers. It is crucial to ensure that our desires align with God's will. In this case, while it may seem beneficial for the receptionist to move with her husband, we must pray that God's perfect will be done in their lives. As it is written in Romans 12:2 (WEB), "Donโt be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God."
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up our sister and her husband as they consider this significant change in their lives. We ask that Your perfect will be done in their marriage and family. If it is indeed Your plan for them to move to North Dakota, we pray that You pave the way and make their paths straight. However, if there is another plan that You have for them, we ask that You reveal it to them clearly.
In the meantime, we pray for their marriage, that it would be strengthened and honored. We ask that You guide them as they seek to follow Your will for their lives. Help them to trust in You and to lean not on their own understanding.
Finally, we pray that they would both come to know You more deeply and intimately. If they have not already accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, we pray that they would come to understand the saving grace that is available only through His name. As it is written in Acts 4:12 (WEB), 'There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!'
We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."
Sumugyr, we encourage you to continue praying for them, trusting that God's will is the best outcome for their lives. Keep your faith in the power of prayer and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. As it is written in Philippians 4:6-7 (WEB), "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."
