We join with you in this prayer for this wife and mother, agreeing together that it is the kindness of God that leads to repentance.
We thank God with you for His promise that His Word does not return void but accomplishes what He pleases and prospers in the thing He sent it to do, Isa 55:10-11. We have confidence that the seed which has been planted is the Word of God, Mark 4:14, and that as men plant and water, it is God who gives the growth, 1 Cor 3:6-7. For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things, Rom 11:36, and to Him alone belongs the glory, not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness and for your truth's sake, Ps 115:1.
We pray together for this wife, that the goodness of God would lead her to turn from any sin and to embrace the high and holy calling of godly mothering and wifehood. We pray that she would love her husband and love her children, that she would be sober minded, chaste, a worker at home, kind, being in subjection to her own husband, that the Word of God may not be blasphemed, Titus 2:4-5. We ask the Lord to restore and strengthen her in that calling, for her to be as the virtuous woman who watches over the ways of her household, Prov 31:27-28.
We ask our Father to continue the good work He has begun in her heart until the day of Jesus Christ, Phil 1:6. We pray that He would bring fresh truth, restrain evil, and convict her heart by the Holy Spirit, who convicts the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment, John 16:8. We pray that before honor would come humility, Prov 18:12, and that as He humbled Nebuchadnezzar until he lifted his eyes to heaven and reason returned to him, Dan 4:34, Dan 4:37, so He would humble all who need humbling that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, 2 Tim 2:26, even as the prodigal came to himself, Luke 15:17, and as Hosea's wife was hedged in that she might return, Hos 2:6-7.
We agree with you to ask the Lord to continue to bring others across her path to water the seeds that have been planted and to speak truth with the kindness of God, Rom 2:4. We trust that the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, Ps 37:23, just as He ordered Philip to meet the Ethiopian official reading Isaiah 53, Acts 8:26-31, and Ananias to go to Saul in Acts 9:10-11, and Paul to Macedonia through a vision, Acts 16:6-10. We thank Him that He is patient, not wishing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance, 2 Pet 3:9, that He desires all people to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth, 1 Tim 2:4, and that He calls us to offer petitions and prayers for all, 1 Tim 2:1.
We thank You, Father, that Your Word is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit and judging the thoughts and intents of the heart, Heb 4:12. We thank You that Your Father is always working, and Jesus also is working, John 5:17. We thank You in advance by faith, for whatever we ask in prayer, believing we have received it, Mark 11:24, knowing that without faith it is impossible to please You, but You are a rewarder of those who diligently seek You, Heb 11:6. We are confident that the fervent prayer of a righteous person avails much, James 5:16.
We pray for protection over this family, over their progeny and posterity, over the patriarchal and matriarchal figures and all who have heard the Word, that You would keep them from evil, from deception and lies and temptation, and from the evil one, as they receive the love of the truth that they may be saved, 2 Thes 2:10, and that You would guard them by Your power, 2 Thes 3:3. We ask this not for our glory but for Yours alone, and for the salvation that belongs to our God who sits on the throne and to the Lamb, Rev 7:10.
We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved, Acts 4:12, and it is only through Him that we have access to the Father, for He said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me, John 14:6. We thank You that every promise of God is Yes and Amen in Him, 2 Cor 1:20, and we trust You for great and mighty things which we do not know, Jer 33:3, beyond all that we ask or think, Eph 3:20. Amen.
