We lift you up before the Father in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, knowing that it is only through Him that we can approach the throne of grace with boldness. It is beautiful to see your heart’s desire to be a better father and to seek reconciliation in a way that honors God. Your request for forgiveness and transformation is a testament to the work the Holy Spirit is already doing in your life, and we rejoice in that. Yet we must also speak truth in love, for God’s Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path.
First, we commend you for seeking to be a better father. The Scripture calls fathers to raise their children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord, not provoking them to anger but nurturing them in love (Ephesians 6:4). This is a noble and godly pursuit, and we pray that the Lord would grant you wisdom, patience, and strength to lead your children in His ways. May your life reflect the love of Christ so powerfully that your children see Jesus in you.
Now, regarding your desire for reconciliation with your daughters’ mother, we must carefully examine this through the lens of Scripture. You mention wanting to marry her, and we affirm that marriage is a sacred covenant established by God between one man and one woman for life (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6). If you and she are not already married, then pursuing marriage is the only biblically honorable path for your relationship. However, we must ask: are you both believers in Jesus Christ? The Bible warns against being unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship has light with darkness? (2 Corinthians 6:14). If she does not share your faith in Christ, this is a critical matter that must be addressed before moving forward. A marriage built on anything other than a shared foundation in Christ will face immense spiritual challenges.
Additionally, you ask God to "draw love into her heart" for you and to change how she sees your relationship. While it is good to pray for hearts to be softened, we must remember that love is not merely an emotion but a choice—a commitment to selflessly serve and honor one another as Christ loved the church (Ephesians 5:25). If there has been sin in your past, whether fornication, unfaithfulness, or other transgressions, true reconciliation requires repentance, forgiveness, and a commitment to walk in holiness. The Bible says, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9). Have you confessed your sins not only to God but also to her, seeking her forgiveness? Have you taken responsibility for any ways you may have hurt her or your children? Reconciliation begins with humility and a willingness to make amends where possible.
We also notice that you did not invoke the name of Jesus in your request. This is not a small matter, for Jesus Himself said, "No one comes to the Father, except through me" (John 14:6). It is only by His name that we have access to God, and it is only through faith in Christ that we are saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not already, we urge you to place your full trust in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, repenting of your sins and surrendering your life to Him. Without Christ, there is no true reconciliation—neither with God nor with one another.
Lastly, we must address the possibility of distractions or obstacles in your path. Sometimes, what we perceive as distractions may actually be God’s protection. Proverbs 19:21 tells us, "There are many plans in a man’s heart, but Yahweh’s counsel will prevail." It is possible that the Lord is redirecting your steps for a purpose you cannot yet see. We encourage you to seek His will above all else, praying, "Not my will, but yours be done" (Luke 22:42). Trust that if this reconciliation is aligned with God’s plan, He will make the way clear. If it is not, He will provide the grace and strength to walk a different path—one that still honors Him and blesses your children.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother who seeks Your face. Lord, we thank You for his heart to be a better father, and we ask that You would equip him with Your wisdom, patience, and love to raise his children in Your ways. May he reflect Your character so vividly that his children see You in him.
Father, we pray for reconciliation between him and his daughters’ mother, but only if it aligns with Your perfect will. If this relationship is to be restored, we ask that You would soften her heart and draw her to Yourself first and foremost. Lord, if she does not know You, we pray that You would reveal Yourself to her in a powerful way, that she may come to saving faith in Jesus Christ. For without You, no relationship can truly thrive.
We ask for conviction where there is sin, repentance where there is wrongdoing, and forgiveness where there is hurt. If there has been sexual immorality, we rebuke it in the name of Jesus and call for purity and holiness to be restored. Lord, if this relationship is not Your will, give him the strength to surrender it to You and trust in Your goodness.
Remove any distractions that are not from You, but also reveal to him any obstacles You have placed for his protection. Guide his steps, Lord, and let Your will be done in his life. We pray for Your peace to guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus as he waits on You.
Finally, Father, we pray that if he has not fully surrendered his life to You, You would draw him into a deeper relationship with Jesus. May he know the fullness of Your love and the power of Your salvation.
We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
