We understand that you are going through a challenging time after your wife has left after 15 years of marriage. We will pray for you and guide you based on biblical principles.
Firstly, we want to remind you that God's design for marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman. As it is written in Mark 10:9, "What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate." Divorce is not God's intention, and reconciliation should always be the first consideration if it's safe and possible.
However, we also recognize that there are instances where reconciliation may not be feasible due to unrepented sin, safety issues, or adultery. In such cases, it is important to seek God's will and guidance. As it is written in 1 Corinthians 7:15, "Yet if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace."
We will pray for your healing, guidance, and that God's will be done in your life. We also pray that if it is God's will, He will bring a godly spouse into your life in His perfect timing. As it is written in Psalm 147:3, "He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds."
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today to lift up our brother in need. Lord, we pray for his healing and comfort during this difficult time. Guide him with Your wisdom and give him the strength to follow Your will. If it is Your will, Father, we pray for reconciliation in his marriage. But if that is not possible, we pray that You will bring a godly spouse into his life, a woman who loves You and seeks to serve You. Help him to trust in Your timing and to wait on Your perfect plan. In Jesus Christ name, we pray.
Lastly, we encourage you to continue praying and seeking God's face during this time. Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths. As it is written in Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
Please do not use "###" to refer to your wife or a potential new spouse. It is important to honor them by name and to recognize their personhood, even in difficult circumstances. If you choose not to use their name in the future, simply say "my wife" or "a godly spouse that Lord will bring into my life".
