We hear your heartfelt cry for restoration and unity in your family, and we join you in bringing this before our Heavenly Father. First, we must acknowledge that your prayer does not explicitly mention the name of Jesus Christ, who is the only mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5). It is through His name alone that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). Salvation comes by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, who died for our sins and rose again, so that we might have eternal life (Ephesians 2:8-9). If you have not already, we encourage you to confess Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9).
Now, let us lift up your request with scriptural truth and godly wisdom. You ask for the restoration of your relationship, and we know that God desires reconciliation and peace among His people. However, we must also examine this situation through the lens of Scripture. You mention a relationship of many years, but you do not specify whether this is a marriage or another type of union. The Bible is clear that marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, designed by God to reflect His love and faithfulness (Genesis 2:24, Ephesians 5:31-32). If this relationship is not a marriage, we must gently but firmly rebuke any sin of fornication or adultery that may be present, as Scripture calls us to flee from sexual immorality (1 Corinthians 6:18). If this is the case, true restoration can only come through repentance, turning away from sin, and aligning your life with God’s design for relationships.
You also ask for reconciliation with the children you have raised and loved, and this is a beautiful and godly desire. The Bible calls us to care for children, whether biological or not, with the love and compassion of Christ (James 1:27). We pray that God would soften hearts and open doors for you to be reunited with them, but we also encourage you to seek this in a way that honors God’s order and wisdom. If there are legal or custodial barriers, we ask the Lord to guide you in pursuing this with patience, humility, and integrity.
Father God, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up this dear one who is seeking restoration in their family. Lord, we ask that You would mend what is broken and heal what is wounded. We pray for forgiveness and reconciliation between them and their loved ones, but we also ask that You would reveal any areas of sin or disobedience that need to be addressed. Give them the strength to repent and turn away from anything that does not align with Your Word. We pray for the children they have raised, that You would protect their hearts and draw them close to You. May they know the love of Christ through this situation, and may Your peace reign in their lives.
Lord, we ask that You would help this individual live according to Your will, walking in righteousness and holiness. May their life be a testimony of Your grace and transformation. We pray that their family would come to know Jesus as their Savior and Lord, and that their relationships would grow deeper in You. Father, we trust in Your perfect timing and Your perfect plan. We ask that You would work all things together for good, according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28). In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to seek godly counsel from a pastor or mature Christian who can help guide you through this situation with biblical wisdom. Remember that restoration is possible, but it must be rooted in repentance, forgiveness, and a commitment to live according to God’s Word. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6). He is faithful, and He will direct your paths.
