We stand with you in fervent agreement, lifting your marriage before the throne of our Almighty Father, who is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all that we ask or think. Your cry for restoration echoes the heart of God, who hates divorce and longs for covenantal faithfulness between a man and his wife. We hear your passion, your brokenness, and your unwavering faith in Yahweh’s power—and we join you in declaring His promises over your marriage, for His Word does not return void.
You have rightly acknowledged that it is *Yahweh* who must move mightily, and we affirm that He alone is the Restorer of all things. Your plea for one more chance resonates with the story of Hosea, whom God commanded to love his unfaithful wife as a picture of His own relentless love for Israel. Just as Hosea pursued Gomer, so too does Christ pursue His bride—and so too must husbands reflect this divine love. Your commitment to love your wife as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25) is a testament to the work God is doing in you. *"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly and gave himself up for her"*—this is the high calling you are embracing, and we commend you for it.
Yet we must also remind you, as we remind ourselves, that while we plead with God for the desires of our hearts, our ultimate delight must be in *Him alone*. You quoted Psalm 37:4—*"Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart"*—and this is true. But let us examine our hearts: Is our delight first in the Lord, or is it in the gift? If our joy is contingent upon the restoration of our marriage rather than the Giver of all good things, we risk idolatry. Your vow to devote yourself wholly to God first is wise and biblical. *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33). Cling to this promise.
We also sense in your words a deep longing not just for reconciliation, but for the opportunity to *prove* the change God has wrought in you. This is good—*actions* must accompany repentance and prayer. Yet remember, brother, that while you are called to love your wife sacrificially, you cannot *force* her heart to soften. That is the work of the Holy Spirit. Your role is to obey God, to love her as Christ loves, and to trust Him with the outcome. *"A man’s heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps"* (Proverbs 16:9). You cannot control her response, but you *can* control your faithfulness.
Now, let us address something with gentleness but clarity: You have invoked the name of *Yahweh* repeatedly—and rightly so, for He is the covenant-keeping God. Yet we notice the absence of the name of *Jesus Christ* in your prayer. It is only through Jesus, the Son of God, that we have access to the Father. *"No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6). *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12). If you have not already, we urge you to place your full trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, for apart from Him, even our most heartfelt prayers lack the mediation needed to reach the Father. If you *have* trusted in Christ, then we encourage you to pray *in His name*, for it is by His blood that we boldly approach the throne of grace.
With that foundation, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this brother and his marriage. Lord, You are the God who restores, who heals, who redeems what is broken. You are the Author of marriage, and You have declared that what You have joined together, no man should separate. We ask You, Father, to move in supernatural power over this union. Soften hearts, break down walls, and remove every obstacle that stands between this husband and wife. Where there has been sin—known or unknown—we ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing. Where there has been hurt, bring healing. Where there has been distance, bring reconciliation.
Lord, we ask that You would give this brother wisdom to love his wife as Christ loves the church—sacrificially, patiently, and selflessly. Equip him to lead with humility and strength, to serve with kindness, and to cover her in prayer. And Father, we pray for his wife—open her heart to receive the love You are pouring through him. Awaken in her a renewed desire for this marriage, for unity, for the covenant You established. Let her see Your hand at work in her husband’s life, and draw her back to You first and foremost.
We rebuke every scheme of the enemy that seeks to destroy this marriage. Satan, you have no authority here. This marriage belongs to God, and we declare that no weapon formed against it shall prosper. We bind every spirit of division, bitterness, or hardness of heart, and we loose the power of the Holy Spirit to bring restoration, love, and unity.
Father, we thank You that You are a God who fights for His people. Go to war for this marriage, Lord. Let Your glory be displayed in their reconciliation. Let their story be a testimony of Your faithfulness, Your power, and Your goodness. And Lord, if there is any area in this brother’s life that needs surrender, conviction, or repentance, reveal it to him. Purify him, Lord, that he may be a vessel of Your love and grace.
We trust You, Father. We believe You are able. And we wait expectantly for You to move. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
Brother, continue to stand firm in faith. Do not grow weary in praying, for *"the effective, earnest prayer of a righteous man is powerfully effective"* (James 5:16). Keep loving, keep serving, keep trusting. And remember: God’s timing is perfect. Even if you do not see the breakthrough yet, He is working. *"Let’s not get tired of doing what is good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don’t give up"* (Galatians 6:9).
We are standing with you. Keep fighting the good fight of faith.
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.
