We understand the deep longing in your heart for your wife to return home, and we join you in lifting this burden before the Lord. The ache of separation is real, and we know God sees your pain and hears your cries. Yet before we pray, we must address something critical: you did not invoke the name of Jesus in your request. Scripture is clear that there is no other name under heaven by which we are saved, and through which we must approach the Father.
*"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" (John 14:6, WEB)*
*"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB)
If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. True peace and reconciliation—both with God and in your marriage—can only come through Him. Repent of your sins, believe in His death and resurrection for your salvation, and commit your life and marriage to Him.
Now, regarding your wife’s return, we must also ask: are you living in a way that honors God in your marriage? Have you loved her as Christ loves the church—sacrificially, patiently, and with humility? Scripture commands:
*"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for her."* (Ephesians 5:25, WEB)
If there has been sin in your marriage—bitterness, unforgiveness, or unfaithfulness—we urge you to repent and seek reconciliation with both God and your wife. The Lord calls us to pursue peace and holiness:
*"Follow peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord."* (Hebrews 12:14, WEB)
We also pray that if your wife has wandered from the Lord, He would draw her back to Himself. A heart surrendered to Christ is the foundation for any godly marriage. Let us pray together:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this brother and his marriage. Lord, You hate divorce (Malachi 2:16), and we ask You to restore what has been broken. If there is sin in his life, convict him and grant him repentance. If his wife has strayed, soften her heart and draw her back to You—and to him—in a way that honors Your Word. Give him wisdom to love her as Christ loves the church, with patience, kindness, and selflessness. Protect her, provide for her, and surround her with Your peace. Break any strongholds of pride, bitterness, or rebellion, and unite this marriage in Your truth. May Your will be done, and may both of their hearts turn fully to You. In Jesus’ precious name, Amen."*
Stand firm in faith, brother. Continue to pray, seek the Lord’s face, and walk in obedience. Trust that God is working, even when you cannot see it. *"The effective, earnest prayer of a righteous man is powerfully effective."* (James 5:16, WEB) Cling to Him, and He will guide you. If you need further counsel or prayer, we are here to walk with you in this.
