We come before the throne of grace with hearts full of gratitude for God’s daily mercies and faithfulness, just as Lamentations 3:23 declares, "They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." It is a profound comfort to know that His steadfast love never ceases, and His compassions never fail. We lift up this request with a deep sense of purpose, seeking God’s will in both the old and the new, as Ecclesiastes 7:18 wisely reminds us, "It is good that you should take hold of the one, without letting go of the other."

First, we acknowledge the burden for the salvation and repentance of those who are distant in faith, particularly the matrimonial relationship mentioned. It is right and good to intercede for their full, authentic repentance and regeneration in Christ, as Romans 10:1 urges, "Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved." We pray that the prodigy mentioned would come to know Christ early, be shielded from the snares of the world, and be nurtured in the love and character of Jesus through the nourishment of God’s Word (2 Timothy 3:15). Yet, we also recognize the need to balance this intercession with a primary focus on the new things God is doing, as Isaiah 42:9 proclaims, "Behold, the former things have happened, and I declare new things. I tell you about them before they come up." We ask for grace to embrace the new while not neglecting the old, trusting that God is at work in both.

Father, we ask You to open doors for the Gospel, as Revelation 3:7-8 promises, "He who opens, and no one can shut; and who shuts, and no one opens... I have set before you an open door, which no one can shut." May these doors lead to nearness to You, opportunities for Bible studies, prayer meetings, and the salvation of the lost. We trust in Your sovereignty, knowing that You work while we wait in stillness, as Exodus 14:14 declares, "The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace." Empower us to glorify You and reflect Your image in all we do, for this is our highest calling.

We pray for the grace to set all things in order (Titus 1:5), to finish the tasks You have set before us (Revelation 3:2), and to meet every pressing need (Titus 3:14). Help us to run the race set before us in a way that honors You, forgetting what lies behind and pressing toward the upward call of Christ (Philippians 3:13-14). May we lay aside every encumbrance and distraction that hinders us from abiding in Your Word and making disciples, as You commanded in Matthew 28:19-20. Let us run with endurance, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:1-2).

Lord, we ask for wisdom to navigate the path ahead, as James 1:5 promises, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." Grant us new opportunities for evangelism, encouragement, discipleship, and fellowship within the Body of Christ. Protect us from temptation (Luke 11:4), sin (Zephaniah 3:13), evil (Matthew 6:13), evil people (2 Thessalonians 3:2), and the evil one (John 17:15). May we walk in the light of Your truth, clothed in the full armor of God, so that we may stand firm against the schemes of the devil (Ephesians 6:11).

We are grateful for the fellowship of abiding in Christ and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, who leads us into all truth (John 10:3-4, Romans 8:14). May our lives be a testament to Your love, and may we be faithful stewards of the grace You have poured out upon us. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can approach the Father and the only name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12). There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. We surrender our plans, our intercessions, and our futures into Your hands, trusting that You will accomplish Your perfect will. Amen.

We can see the real tension you’re holding, a heart that still cries out for the full repentance and salvation of a former spouse, while also sensing God inviting you into new spaces and fresh focus. That isn’t a contradiction; it’s the stretch of love and hope working together. You’re not letting go of one to take hold of the other; you’re learning to carry both, and that takes exactly the grace you’re asking for.

We want you to know we’re standing with you in that. Your prayer isn’t scattered, it’s the honest work of a soul determined to stay faithful in intercession and ready to walk through whatever doors God opens next. So we simply join you in asking for steady strength to keep praying for that distant one without getting stuck, for clear eyes to recognize the new opportunities around you, and for the Holy Spirit to guard your own heart as you go.

Lord Jesus, you know the ache that comes with praying for the true turning of someone once so close. We ask you to bring that person to full, authentic repentance and living trust in you. At the same time, give this one the grace to shift primary focus to the new things you are doing, the Bible studies, the prayer meetings, the open doors for the gospel. Teach that patient, steady keeping of both. Guard from evil, distraction, and discouragement. Make the path ahead clear and fruitful, and meet every genuine need. Thank you for your daily mercies that are always new. In your name, Amen.

[Spurgeon]

The voice that called you out of darkness is still calling you forward. There is a holy violence in effectual calling that will not let a man rest in the old things. When the Lord singles out a soul, that soul must go forth, often alone, often not knowing whither, yet always into a goodly land He intends to bless. The trial of lingering affections, even godly ones for the salvation of others, must never become a snare that keeps you gazing backward when the cloud and fire are moving on.

You pray to intercede yet also to press toward the new. This is the upright man’s wisdom, grasping one without letting go of the other. But mark this, the new thing God declares is not merely a shift of circumstance, it is a new creation. Old things pass away; behold, all things become new. To the humblest of the regenerated, everything wears a fresh aspect. Your primary energy belongs to the work now set before you, the flock among you, the open door before you. That door is Christ Himself, and the sheep know His voice and follow Him out.

Anxiety about the past or the future is heathenish. Prudence is wisdom, but fretting accomplishes nothing. Your running is to be in such a way that you may win, laying aside not only sins but every weight that diverts you from the primary race. The former things are permitted to be remembered only as they drive you to your God, not as they chain you to yesterday. Bind yourself to Christ with tenfold cords, and as new trials and new mercies come, let everything bring Him to remembrance.

The command stands: “Make haste and come down.” Humble yourself before Him who first looked upon you. Trust the salvation of others into the hands of Him who alone gives repentance unto life. Your duty is to run, to teach, to set in order, to finish each task, and to believe that all things to come are yours already in Christ Jesus, not as a distant hope, but as a present possession. We have seen strange things, strength made perfect in weakness, going up by going down, life out of death. So shall you go forward, kept by His power, until you shall say at the last that the shame of earth is less than nothing, and grace alone has brought you home.

[Chrysostom]

You speak of holding onto one thing without letting go of the other, and indeed Ecclesiastes teaches this wisdom. Yet I perceive a soul caught between what lies behind and the upward call, straining to press forward while still bound by care for a distant one. Hear then how the Apostle distinguishes the old man from the new. The old man, corrupted by deceitful desires, must be put off; the new man, created in righteousness and true holiness, must be put on. This putting on and off is not merely a thought, but a decisive act of the will, renewed by the Spirit.

You pray for the salvation of that former matrimonial and for the prodigy. This is good and right, for we are commanded to pray for all men. But hear also what the Apostle says to the Hebrews: "He is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God by Him, since He ever lives to make intercession for them." Do you see the mystery? Christ's intercession is not a one-time supplication, but continual, undying. Entrust those souls to His unceasing priesthood. Yours is to make known the request; His is to save utterly. He who raised the dead needs not our anxieties to accomplish His work. He who has all judgment intercedes with love unfeigned.

Do you then think that by shifting your primary focus to the new things God declares, you abandon that prayer? Not at all. He who said, "Behold, I make all things new," also makes all things work together. The new covenant does not simply add to the old; it makes the first obsolete. What decays and grows old is ready to vanish. So your chief labor now is to run the race set before you, laying aside every weight. Those former petitions, once lifted up, are not forgotten before the throne this very day. But your gaze must be on the open door before you, the fields white for harvest, the flock among you needing care. "Do both" does not mean equal division of strength. A soldier on campaign cannot fight effectively if his mind dwells always on the city left behind. Set all things in order, as you ask, and complete the tasks at hand. That is your present duty.

Let your running be such that you may win. Forgetting what lies behind, press toward the mark. The enemy would have you so entangled in backward glances that you stumble forward. I myself endured many persecutions, but I recount them not for ostentation but to show the consolations: God never forsakes those who press on. The new man is formed before the new creation; light came on the first day, before all else. So let your new evangelism, your study, your fellowship spring forth now, even while shadows linger. The Spirit who raised Christ from the dead will quicken your mortal body and make you a quickening spirit to others.

Pray, then, and work. Intercession is not inactivity. But when you have commended those concerns to the faithful High Priest, turn your hands to the plow without looking back. The old man cannot inherit the new kingdom; the former things will pass away. In calling the covenant new, He has declared the first obsolete. So it is with your old sorrows and longings: they are ready to vanish if you but walk in the newness of life. Grace sufficient for duties is given. Protection from evil is promised. He who opens doors no one can shut sets before you an open door. Enter it with boldness, and let the dead bury their own dead. You have a living Intercessor; rest in His love, and run.
