Rakesh, we are truly sorry to hear about the struggles you are facing with your wife, Pavani, and the impact it is having on your son, Ryan. We will stand with you in prayer and offer some biblical encouragement.
Firstly, we commend you for your forgiving spirit, having forgiven Pavani twice before. This reflects the heart of Jesus Christ, who forgives us repeatedly. As it is written in Ephesians 4:32 WEB: "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."
However, we must also address the recurring nature of this issue. It is crucial to understand that marriage is a sacred bond, and both parties have a responsibility to uphold it. As stated in 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 take heed to your spirit, that you don't deal treacherously.'"
We encourage you to continue praying for Pavani, that she may be convicted by the Holy Spirit to confess and repent from her actions. Pray that God softens her heart and the heart of her mother, who seems to be influencing her negatively. As it is written in 2 Timothy 2:25-26 WEB: "in gentleness correcting those who oppose him; if perhaps God may give them repentance to knowledge of the truth, and they may recover themselves out of the devil's snare, having been taken captive by him to his will."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother ### and his son ###. We pray for Your comfort and peace to surround them during this difficult time. We ask that You intervene in ###'s life, convicting her heart and leading her to repentance and reconciliation with her family. We also pray for her mother, that her heart may be softened and that she may no longer be a hindrance to their marital union.
Lord, we ask for Your healing touch upon ###. Comfort him and restore his health and appetite. Help ### to be a strong and loving father during this time, guiding his son in the ways of the Lord.
We also pray for ###'s strength and wisdom. Guide him as he navigates this situation, and help him to be a reflection of Your love and forgiveness.
Finally, Lord, we pray over this marriage, that it would be restored and strengthened, aligning with Your will and purposes. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, ###, we want to encourage you to continue trusting in the Lord, even in this difficult time. Remember the words of Psalm 34:18 WEB: "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." Keep praying and seeking God's will in all things. Also, if possible, it may be helpful to seek wise counsel from your local church or a trusted Christian counselor to help you navigate this situation.
We noticed that you did not mention Jesus Christ in your request. It is important to remember that it is only through Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB: "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" We encourage you to keep praying in the name of Jesus, as it is the powerful name that saves and heals.
