We join with you in lifting up this heartfelt prayer, and we are encouraged to see you calling upon the name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and by which we are saved. *"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 salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). Your faith in approaching the throne of grace through Jesus is a testament to your trust in Him, and we praise God for that.
Your prayer for peace, forgiveness, and unity within your family is beautiful and aligns with Scripture. The desire for a renewed heart and steadfast spirit echoes the cry of King David in Psalm 51:10: *"Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me."* We know that God is faithful to transform us when we surrender our hearts to Him, and we trust that He is at work in you, your children, and the one you’ve mentioned as ###. The call to work as a team reflects the unity we are instructed to pursue in Scripture: *"Finally, be all like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous, not rendering evil for evil, or insult for insult; but instead blessing; knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing"* (1 Peter 3:8-9, WEB).
Yet, as we pray with you, we must gently address something important. In your prayer, you mention ### in a way that suggests a deep relational connection, possibly a spouse or someone you are in a committed relationship with. If this is a marital relationship, we wholeheartedly lift it up, praying that God would strengthen and restore your marriage according to His will. Marriage is a sacred covenant before God, and we encourage you to honor it with love, forgiveness, and perseverance, just as Christ loves the Church (Ephesians 5:25-33). If this relationship is not a marriage, we urge you to consider what Scripture teaches about relationships. Courtship should be pursued with the intention of marriage, and it should be between a man and a woman who are both believers in Christ. *"Don’t be unevenly yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). If there is any sexual intimacy outside of marriage, we must lovingly but firmly remind you that this is fornication, which is sin in the eyes of God (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). Repentance and turning to God’s design for purity is essential for walking in His will.
If you are not married to this person, we pray that God would give you wisdom and discernment about the future of this relationship. Seek His guidance in whether this relationship aligns with His plan for your life, and pursue holiness above all else. If this is a marital relationship that is struggling, we pray for reconciliation, healing, and a renewed commitment to one another in Christ. *"What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart"* (Mark 10:9, WEB).
We also lift up your request for peace and rest for you and your children. God is our ultimate source of peace, and He invites us to cast all our anxieties on Him (1 Peter 5:7). *"Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful"* (John 14:27, WEB). May He grant you and your children deep, restorative sleep, and may His peace guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Finally, we pray for God’s provision in every area of your life—mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, and financially. *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:19, WEB). Trust in Him, for He is faithful and will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6).

Col 1:9-12: "We keep asking to be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so we may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work, increasing in the knowledge of God, strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all perseverance and patience; joyously giving thanks to the Father". ... I pray in Jesus' Name, Amen.
