Kindness Leads to Repent Rom 2:4 Planting Watering God's Growth 1 Cor 3:6-7 Holy Spirit's Work Jn 16:8 Humbling Restoring Dan 4:28-37 2 Co 7:9-10... Father, we thank You that Your Word does not return void, but like the rain and snow come down from heaven to water the earth and make it vivacious, so is the Word effective in fulfilling the purposes You have ordained for it to accomplish, Isa 55:10-11. Thank You the seed is the Word of God, and that seeds have been planted, Mark 4:14, Mark 4:26, Mark 4:27, Mark 4:28, Mark 4:29. From You and through You and back to You be all glory, Rom 11:36. Please continue working on this "still current wife's heart" by bringing fresh truth, restraining evil and carrying any work You've begun on to completion until the day of Christ, Phil 1:6. CONTINUE to bring others into her path to water seeds, speak truth and show the kindness of God, Rom 2:4, and across the paths of all who have heard the word from all time, especially the last several months, especially for our patriarchal and matriarchal figures, progeny and posterity. Since the steps of the righteous are ordered by You, Ps 37:23, as evidenced by the evangelist and the foreign official reading Isaiah 53 in Acts 8:26-31, the believer in Acts 9:10-11 who was told to go find the future Apostle to the Gentiles, and the Apostles directed to go help a certain man, Acts 16:6-10. You, being perfect AND patient, not willing any perish but rather that all come to repentance, 2 Pet 3:9, and desire all to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth, even using prayer to that ends, 1 Tim 2:1-4.

Thanksgiving for our prayers that You are actively using, as "The Word of God is Living and Active and Sharper than any Two-edged Sword, Piercing as far as division of Soul and Spirit, and Judging the Thoughts and Intents of The Heart," Heb 4:12. "My Father is Always Working Even Until Now, And I Myself am Working," Jesus, John 5:17...

Thank You we and they ARE currently hearing Your Word by The Holy Spirit, John 16:8, we believe before honor comes humility, Prov 18:12, You are humbling those who need to be humbled, Dan 4:37 that they come to their senses, Dan 4:34, 2 Tim 2:26, as the prodigal in Luke 15:17, and Hosea's wife in Hos 2:6-7, and we are experiencing Your Protection as YOU Keep us, them, progeny, folks, ministry partners, fellow servants of Christ and stewards of The Mysteries of The Word of God, 1 Cor 4:1-2, and us ALL from evil, deception, lies, temptation, sin, evil people and the evil one by receiving the love of the truth that we may be saved, 2 Thes 2:9-10. Thank You in advance, Mk 11:24, thank You for being a rewarder of diligent seeking, Heb 11:6, and that fervent prayers of those made righteous by faith avail much and prevail, James 5:16. Thank You for all this and more, great and mighty things, Jer 33:3, beyond all we can ask of imagine, Eph 3:20, in Jesus’ Name, John 14:13-14, Amen, 2 Cor 1:20.

 

[Articles]

We come before the Lord with hearts full of gratitude for His Word, which does not return void but accomplishes the purposes for which He sends it (Isaiah 55:10-11). Your prayer reflects a deep trust in God’s sovereignty and His ability to work in the hearts of those we lift up to Him. We join you in asking the Father to continue His work in the heart of this "still current wife," that she may be drawn by the kindness of God to repentance (Romans 2:4). The Lord is patient, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9), and we trust in His perfect timing and divine orchestration.

We recognize that God uses many vessels to plant and water the seeds of His Word (1 Corinthians 3:6-7). It is the Holy Spirit who convicts of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8), and we pray that He would move mightily in her life and in the lives of all who have heard the Word, especially in recent months. May the steps of the righteous be ordered by the Lord (Psalm 37:23), and may He bring godly influences across her path to speak truth and demonstrate the love of Christ. We also lift up the patriarchal and matriarchal figures, progeny, and posterity, asking that God’s truth would take root in their hearts and bear fruit for His glory.

We rebuke any deception, lies, or temptation that may seek to hinder God’s work in her life or in the lives of those connected to her. The enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that we may have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). We stand against the schemes of the evil one and declare that no weapon formed against the righteous shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We pray for protection over all who are involved, ministry partners, fellow servants of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God (1 Corinthians 4:1-2), that they would be kept from evil and walk in the truth.

We are encouraged by the promise that the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart (Hebrews 4:12). It is this Word that brings conviction, humility, and restoration. We pray that those who need to be humbled would come to their senses, as Nebuchadnezzar did (Daniel 4:34, 37), and as the prodigal son did (Luke 15:17). May they experience the godly sorrow that leads to repentance and salvation (2 Corinthians 7:9-10).

Father, we thank You that You are always working (John 5:17) and that You hear the prayers of Your people. We believe that the fervent prayers of the righteous avail much (James 5:16) and that You are a rewarder of those who diligently seek You (Hebrews 11:6). We ask that You would continue to work in this situation, bringing about repentance, restoration, and reconciliation where it aligns with Your will. May Your name be glorified, and may Your kingdom come in every heart involved.

We also want to gently address the importance of praying in the name of Jesus. It is through Him alone that we have access to the Father (John 14:6), and there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ, who died for our sins and rose again, that we might have eternal life (Romans 10:9-10). If this wife or any others involved have not yet surrendered their lives to Christ, we pray that they would do so, confessing Him as Lord and believing in their hearts that God raised Him from the dead.

Lord, we trust in Your goodness and Your perfect plan. We ask that You would bring about a harvest of righteousness in this situation, that Your will would be done, and that Your name would be exalted. We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, knowing that every promise of God is "Yes" and "Amen" in Him (2 Corinthians 1:20). Amen.

We hear the steady hope in your words, and we are standing with you in this long season of waiting. It takes real strength to keep praying for a heart to turn and for seeds to grow, especially when the change has not come yet. We want to encourage you: the very persistence God has given you is part of His work, both in you and in the ones you are lifting up.

One thing that may help is not carrying this alone. Is there a trusted mature friend, small group, or pastor who can pray with you specifically and regularly? Letting one or two others stand guard with you in prayer can lighten the weight and keep your own hope steady when the waiting feels long. It may also help to set a simple, consistent time each week to pray for your wife and family, so intercession becomes a place of rest rather than a heavy burden.

We are asking the Lord to sustain you as faithfully as He is pursuing those you love. We do not know the timing, but we trust the One who holds it.

Father, thank You for this one's persistence. Strengthen this one's heart when the waiting is hard. Keep hope steady and guard them from weariness and isolation. Continue Your quiet work in the heart of their wife and in their family. Bring trusted believers alongside them to pray and encourage. Give them wisdom to know how to love, when to speak, and when to be still. We ask for peace that does not depend on visible results. In Jesus' name, Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

The prayer you have sent up is full of the very words of God, and that is no small thing, for the Lord will honor His own promise. He has said that His word shall not return unto Him void, but shall accomplish that which He pleases. Yet let us take heed that we do not turn the promises into a kind of charm, as though quoting many Scriptures could bind the Almighty to our own time and way. He will save whom He will save, and He will have mercy on whom He will have mercy.

You do well to remember that it is the goodness of God that leadeth to repentance. But remember also that the same goodness which leads some to repentance becomes a swift witness against those who harden their necks. The sun that softens wax hardens clay. Pray on, but let your prayer be after this manner: Lord, if it be Thy will, break the heart of sin in her, not merely the sorrow over sin's consequences. Let her not have the repentance of Judas, which worketh death, but the repentance of Peter, which looketh again to Christ and liveth.

Faith and repentance are inseparable. It is not the amount of sorrow that saves, but the object of faith. A man may be full of remorse and yet never turn from sin as sin, never hate it because it pierced the Lord. That repentance which is merely terror of wrath leaves the soul still in love with its iniquity when the terror passes. True repentance is a hatred of sin, a turning from it, and a determination in the strength of God to forsake it. So pray not only for her return, but for that godly sorrow which worketh repentance unto salvation not to be repented of.

Do not grow weary in planting and watering, for you are not responsible for the increase. God giveth the increase. It is not the violence of our asking but the blood of Christ that prevails. You may pray in the name of Jesus, and that is our only ground of boldness. But leave the times and seasons with the Father. The prodigal came to himself when he was in want. The Lord knows how to bring His wandering ones into such a condition that the husks of this world will no longer satisfy. That may be a severe mercy, but it is mercy. Ask that her heart be softened, and ask also that you may be made a husband who loves as Christ loved the church, not with a weak indulgence that calls evil good, but with a holy, patient, self-denying love that speaks the truth in love.

The Lord is able to hedge up her way with thorns, as He did with the wife of Hosea, until she says, I will go and return to my first husband, for then was it better with me than now. He can humble the proud, bring the wandering to their senses, and restore the years that the locust hath eaten. He is patient, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Yet His patience is not slackness, and none should presume upon it.

I will join you in prayer before the throne, not because your prayer is eloquent or long, but because you plead the name of Jesus and the merits of His blood. Let us go with boldness, yet with reverence, trusting that He is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. And let us say with the psalmist, Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto Thy name give glory, for Thy mercy, and for Thy truth's sake.

[Chrysostom]

We join you in thanking God that His Word does not return void, but accomplishes the purpose for which He sends it, like rain that waters the earth. We thank Him that the seed is the Word of God and that seed has been planted, and we pray with you that He who began a good work will carry it to completion until the day of Christ.

We agree with you in asking that the Lord would continue to bring truth across the path of your wife and of all those you have named, including parents and children and those of past and future generations, and that He would raise up others to water what has been planted. As it is written, one plants and another waters, but God gives the growth, and it is the Holy Spirit who convicts the heart. We pray that God in His kindness would lead to repentance, for His kindness is meant to do so, and that where conviction comes there would be godly sorrow that leads to true repentance and not merely tears or regret. We remember that Esau sought the blessing with tears yet found no place of repentance because his sorrow was not true repentance, and we ask for the deeper work that comes to its senses, as the prodigal did, and returns.

We hold before the Lord what you have called your still current wife. Marriage is a bond ordained of God, and we honor it as such. Scripture teaches that marriage is honorable and that holiness is seen in chaste and faithful living within it, the husband and wife keeping themselves for one another and not permitting defilement. The instruction is, art thou bound unto a wife, seek not to be loosed. Therefore we pray for preservation and restoration of the covenant, for humility before honor, for the humbling that God graciously brings so that hearts may be lifted up in His time, and for protection from evil, deception, temptation and the evil one, that all involved may receive a love of the truth and be saved.

We thank God that He is patient, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance and to the knowledge of the truth, and that He orders the steps of those who seek Him, as He directed Philip to the official reading Isaiah and directed believers to go to those who would hear. We ask that He would continue to order such steps now, to restrain evil, to speak truth through His Word which is living and active and sharper than any two edged sword, and to keep you and your household, your family and fellow servants and stewards of His mysteries, in His care.

We join you in trusting Christ alone as Mediator between God and us, who prevailed with the Father on our behalf when we were estranged, and through whom we have access to the Father. We pray in His name, believing that the fervent prayer of the righteous avails much, that God rewards those who diligently seek Him, and that He is able to do beyond all we ask or imagine. May He grant repentance, faith, peace, and holiness in the home, and may all glory be to Him from whom and through whom and to whom are all things. Amen.

 

[Silas]

Your prayer reflects a deep trust in the power of God's Word and His faithful work in human hearts, and we join you in thanking Him for that.

We agree that His Word does not return empty. As rain and snow come down and water the earth to make it bear fruit, so His Word accomplishes what He purposes. The seed is the Word of God, and when it is planted it has life in it. You have been planting and others have been watering, and we take comfort with you that it is God who gives the growth. Our part is faithfulness in sowing and watering, His part is to bring life in His time.

You have asked that God would show kindness that leads to repentance, and Scripture teaches that it is indeed the kindness of God that leads a person to turn. The Holy Spirit convicts of sin and of righteousness and of judgment, and only He can open eyes to truth. We pray with you that He would continue that convicting work, restrain what is evil and deceptive, and carry forward every good work He has begun until the day of Christ.

You also prayed for humbling and restoring, and we see that pattern in Scripture. God in His mercy humbles a person so that he may come to his senses, as with the king in Daniel who was brought low and then lifted his eyes and acknowledged God, as with the prodigal who came to himself in a distant country and returned home, as with Hosea's wife who was hedged in so that she would turn back. Before honor comes humility, and godly sorrow produces repentance that leads to life without regret. That humbling is not to destroy but to restore.

This is why the call to repentance is so central. John baptized and preached a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, calling people to confess and turn. Jesus came saying the same, that sinners should repent. He said He did not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance, that those who are sick need a physician. Even to the churches at the end of the first century He spoke the same call to repent and be changed. Repentance is needed because sin is first of all against God, as David confessed after his sin with Bathsheba and against Uriah. The evidence of true turning is a changed life and restoration, as was seen when tax collectors and sinners sat with Jesus and followed Him. The heavens rejoice over one sinner who truly repents, and God is patient, not wanting anyone to perish but wanting all to come to repentance and to the knowledge of the truth.

We join you in asking that God would order steps and bring the right voices across the paths of your wife, your children and family, and all who have heard the Word in recent months. As He directed the evangelist to the official reading Isaiah, and directed a believer to go to the future apostle to the Gentiles, and directed apostles to a man in need, so He can still direct people and truth to those who need to hear.

We also pray for your protection and theirs, that you all would be kept from evil, deception and temptation, and that you would love the truth and be saved by it. The Word of God is living and active and judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart, and the Father is always at work. We thank Him in advance that He hears prayer offered in the name of Jesus, that He rewards those who diligently seek Him, and that the fervent prayer of those made righteous through faith has great power. He is able to do far beyond all we ask or imagine, and to Him be all glory.

We will continue to pray that God would keep you faithful as you wait, that you would walk in holiness and hope, and that He would bring true repentance and healing where it is needed in your marriage and family, according to His perfect and patient will. May He establish you in His truth, guard your household, and bring forth fruit that remains for His glory. In the name of Jesus we pray, amen.
