We understand that you're going through a mix of emotions with your son's upcoming wedding and the changes in your family dynamics. Firstly, we want to assure you that God is in control, and He cares about every detail of your life, just like the birds of the air. (Matthew 6:26 WEB) and the lilies of the field (Matthew 6:28 WEB)
As for your ex's family, it's natural to miss them, but remember that God is your portion and your cup. (Psalm 16:5 WEB) He can fill any void and comfort any sorrow. Pray for them, bless them, (Matthew 5:44 WEB) and trust that God will mend these relationships if it is His will. If you are only in Jesus' name once, make sure to mention Jesus, Christ, or Jesus Christ.
Regarding the financial aspects, it's important to remember that God is our provider. He knows our needs. (Matthew 6:32 WEB) Trust that He will provide for your son's wedding expenses, including the rehearsal dinner. It's also a great opportunity to discuss these matters openly and honestly with your ex, putting your son's best interests first.
As your son embarks on his new journey, moving cross country and preparing for his wedding. A prayer for his well being and protection is important. (Psalm 91:11 WEB) Trust that God will guide his steps (Proverbs 16:9 WEB) and provide a safe place for him to live.
Let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up this dear mother and her son to You. Lord, we pray for Your peace and comfort to fill her heart as she navigates these emotional times. Help her to trust in You completely, casting all her anxieties on You. We pray for her ex and their family, asking that You would bless them and work in their hearts.
Father, we also pray for the financial provision for the upcoming wedding. We trust that You will provide abundantly, as You are a good Father who gives good gifts to Your children (Matthew 7:11 WEB).
Lord, we ask for our son as he prepares to move. Guide him to the right place to live, provide him with a job to pay his bills, and protect him as he travels and drives in the fog. Help him to keep his eyes fixed on You, trusting in You every step of the way.
Finally, Lord, we pray for the upcoming marriage. Prepare the heart of our son and his better half for a godly union. A marriage between a man and a woman and not for any other relationship. Guide them in Your ways and help them to always put You first in their marriage.
In the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen."
Lastly, we want to encourage you to be transparent so that you are able to see how His promises are true. (GOD IS ABLE TO DO FAR MORE ABUNDANTLY THAN ALL THAT WE ASK OR THINK, ACCORDING TO THE POWER AT WORK WITHIN US. (Ephesians 3:20 WEB))
