Kindness of God Leads us to Repentance ⏎ from Sin Rom 2:4, Planting+ Watering=God's Growth 1 Cor 3:6-7, His Glory in Salvation Ps 115:1, Salvation Belongs to The Lord Ps 3:8; Jonah 2:9, Salvation Belongs to Our God, Who Sits Upon The Throne, and Unto The Lamb, Rev 7:2, 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, The Amen, Faithful Witness, Origin of God's Creation, Rev 3:14, in Messiah are all the Promises Inherited, Yes and Amen, 2 Cor 1:20.

We come before the throne of grace with hearts full of gratitude for the truth of God’s Word, which is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit (Hebrews 4:12). Your kindness, O Lord, leads us to repentance (Romans 2:4), and we stand in awe of Your sovereignty, for salvation belongs to You alone (Psalm 3:8; Jonah 2:9; Revelation 7:10). It is by Your grace that seeds of truth are planted and watered, and it is You who causes the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6-7). We rejoice that You are not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9), and we thank You for the work of the Holy Spirit, who convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8).

Father, we lift up this current situation concerning the heart of this wife, asking that You would continue the good work You have begun in her (Philippians 1:6). We pray that Your Word would not return void but would accomplish the purpose for which You sent it (Isaiah 55:10-11). Bring fresh truth to her mind and heart, restrain evil, and surround her with godly influences who will water the seeds of truth already planted. Order her steps in righteousness (Psalm 37:23), just as You directed Philip to the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8:26-31), Ananias to Saul (Acts 9:10-11), and the apostles to Macedonia (Acts 16:6-10). Humble her heart, Lord, as You humbled Nebuchadnezzar, that she may come to her senses and turn to You (Daniel 4:34-37). Let her experience the kindness of God that leads to repentance (Romans 2:4), and may she be restored as the prodigal son was restored to his father (Luke 15:17-20).

We also pray for all who have heard Your Word, especially in recent months, our patriarchs, matriarchs, progeny, and posterity. Protect them from deception, lies, and the schemes of the evil one (2 Thessalonians 2:9-10). Grant them the love of the truth so that they may be saved. We thank You that You are always working (John 5:17), and we trust in Your perfect timing and patience. You desire all to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:1-4), and we pray that Your will be done in their lives.

Father, we acknowledge that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to You (John 14:6). There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the Amen, the Faithful Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God (Revelation 3:14). For all the promises of God find their "Yes" in Him (2 Corinthians 1:20). We ask that You do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us (Ephesians 3:20). Thank You for being a rewarder of those who diligently seek You (Hebrews 11:6), and for the power of fervent prayer made by the righteous (James 5:16).

We rebuke any hardness of heart, any resistance to the Holy Spirit, and any unrepentant sin that may hinder Your work. We declare that the steps of the righteous are ordered by You, and we trust in Your perfect plan. May Your glory be revealed in salvation, for not to us, O Lord, but to Your name be the glory (Psalm 115:1). We pray all this with thanksgiving, knowing that You hear us and that we have the petitions we have asked of You (1 John 5:14-15). To You be all glory, honor, and praise, now and forever. Amen.

We appreciate you sharing such a tender and persistent prayer for your wife and family. The love and hope in your words is clear, and we join you in thanking God that His Word is at work even when we cannot see it.

What struck us is how you are holding both trust and patience, planting and watering as you are able and leaving the growth to Him. That is a humbling place to stay, especially over months of waiting. It is good that you are asking Him to keep bringing truth and kindness across her path and across the paths of your family, while also trusting Him with what only He can do in a heart.

If it would help in this season, we encourage you to keep one or two trusted believers close to you as you pray. Not to try to fix anything, but to walk with you, pray with you and help you stay grounded and hopeful in your own walk with the Lord while you wait.

Father, we thank You for this husband's faithful love and prayer. We ask You to guard and guide both him and his wife, to keep them from evil and draw each closer to Yourself. Give him peace, wisdom for each day and strength to keep trusting You. We ask this in Jesus' name, amen.

Your prayer has been laid before the Lord with thanksgiving, and we join you in it. You have asked rightly that the Word which does not return void, but comes as rain and snow from heaven to water the earth according to Isaiah 55:10-11, would accomplish all that God has ordained. You have understood well that one plants and another waters, but God gives the growth, as in 1 Corinthians 3:6-7, and that salvation belongs to the Lord, Psalm 3:8 and Jonah 2:9, and to our God who sits upon the throne and unto the Lamb, Revelation 7:2. To Him be all glory, Romans 11:36 and Psalm 115:1.

We join you in praying that the goodness of God would lead to repentance, Romans 2:4. The Lord does not merely drive men to repentance as He drove Cain, but He draws them. The sweetest and best repentance comes not by driving but by drawing, and the goodness of God in its many forms is meant to lead the heart to turn. We pray that the Holy Spirit, who convicts the world of sin according to John 16:8, would continue that gracious work in the heart of your wife, and in the hearts of all who have heard the Word in these months, among your family, your progeny and posterity, and the patriarchal and matriarchal figures of whom you speak. We ask that God would bring others across their paths to water the seed which has been planted, Mark 4:14, even as He ordered the steps of Philip to the eunuch in Acts 8:26-31, and of Ananias to Saul in Acts 9:10-11, and of Paul toward Macedonia in Acts 16:6-10, for the steps of the righteous are ordered by the Lord, Psalm 37:23.

Take care to remember what true repentance is, for there is a carnal repentance that is of the flesh and there is a repentance unto life which is wrought in the renewed heart by the Holy Spirit. True repentance gives God glory, Revelation 16:9. It is not a mere trembling or a passing sorrow, but a godly sorrow that needs not to be repented of, 2 Corinthians 7:9-10, which makes a rainbow with tears of grief for sin and glances of hope at the love of Christ and His finished work. It is practical and lasting, yielding works meet for repentance, and it lives as long as faith lives. It is not to be put in the place of Christ, but it looks out of self to Christ and to Christ only. Faith and repentance are inseparable, the one ejecting sin as an evil tenant and the other admitting Christ to be sole master of the heart. Such repentance is preached in the name of Jesus, Luke 24:47, as the gift of God, and where there is true repentance there is full and free remission of sins.

We pray therefore not for a fleeting regret but for that humbling which comes before honor, Proverbs 18:12, as with Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 4:28-37 who was humbled till he came to his senses and blessed the Most High, and as with the prodigal in Luke 15:17 who came to himself, and as Hosea's wife in Hosea 2:6-7 who was hedged in that she might return. We ask that the Lord would keep you and yours from evil, deception and temptation, as you receive the love of the truth, 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10, and that He who began a good work would carry it on to completion until the day of Christ, Philippians 1:6.

We take comfort with you that our Father is always working even until now, and the Son also is working, John 5:17, and that the Word of God is living and active and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit and judging the thoughts and intents of the heart, Hebrews 4:12. We remember Peter, who fell by a sudden temptation and was restored by a look from Christ, Luke 22:60-62, a look which severed him from the crowd and dissolved his heart in bitter, salutary, saving repentance. So we pray for a restoration that is sure, because Christ prays for His own, Luke 22:32, and we pray that any who have wandered would be turned again and strengthened to strengthen others.

We thank God in advance, Mark 11:24, that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him, Hebrews 11:6, and that the fervent prayer of the righteous avails much, James 5:16. We ask that He who is perfect and patient, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance, 2 Peter 3:9, and who desires all to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth, 1 Timothy 2:1-4, would show His mighty power to save, doing beyond all that we ask or imagine, Ephesians 3:20, and revealing great and mighty things which we know not, Jeremiah 33:3.

Father, let Thy Word run and be glorified. Grant repentance unto life through faith in Jesus Christ alone, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. Keep the marriage covenant holy as Thou hast ordained it, one man and one woman for life, and let all that is done in this home give Thee glory. Restore, renew a right spirit within, Psalm 51:17, create clean hearts, and let Thy will be done. In the name of Jesus, the Amen, the faithful Witness, in whom all the promises are Yes and Amen, 2 Corinthians 1:20, we pray.
