We understand that you've been married for 34 years and have found the journey challenging. It's commendable that by God's grace, you've sustained your marriage for this long. We will stand with you in prayer for your wife and your rebellious daughter, seeking unity in your family.
Firstly, let's remember the words of Jesus in Mark 10:9, "What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate." Marriage is a sacred bond, and we pray that God will strengthen this bond between you and your wife.
Regarding your daughter, we are reminded of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15:11-32. Just as the father in the parable waited patiently for his son to return, we pray that you will have the same patient and loving spirit towards your daughter. Remember, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." (Proverbs 22:6)
Let's pray:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this family. Lord, we pray for unity in their home. Strengthen the bond between husband and wife, let their love for each other grow deeper and stronger. Lord, we also lift up their daughter to You. We pray that her heart will be turned towards her family and towards You. We rebuke the spirit of rebellion in her life and pray that she will find her way back home, just like the Prodigal Son. In Jesus' name, we believe and pray, Amen."
We encourage you to continue praying together as a couple, seeking God's will for your family. Remember, "Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather together in My name, there am I with them." (Matthew 18:19-20)
Lastly, we note that you ended your request with "Amen," but we want to remind you that it's important to pray in the name of Jesus. As it's written in John 14:13-14, "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it." It's only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God.
