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 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, Originator of God's Creation, Rev 3:14, in Him are all the Promises Inherited, Yes and Amen, 2 Cor 1:20.

We join you in thanking our Father for His patient kindness that leads to repentance and for His sovereign power to cause growth where we can only plant and water.

We love your heart for your wife and for your marriage, and we stand with you in praying for her to be led by the goodness of God into godly sorrow that produces repentance without regret. As it is written, Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance Romans 2:4. We pray that she would come to hate every false way Psalm 119:128 and to embrace the fear of Yahweh which is to hate evil Proverbs 8:13, that she would tremble at His word Isaiah 66:2 and walk in godliness with contentment which is great gain 1 Timothy 6:6, in honesty, in listening to faithful shepherds, and in faithful mothering.

We thank God that marriage is a holy covenant designed by Him, and we pray that your marriage would be strengthened and made to reflect Christ and His church. We encourage you as her husband to continue to love her as Christ also loved the assembly and gave himself up for it Ephesians 5:25, with patience, gentleness, and the kindness of God, not with harshness or coercion, trusting the Holy Spirit to do His work. For He will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment John 16:8.

We agree with you that the Word of God does not return void. For as the rain comes down and the snow from the sky, and does not return there, but waters the earth, and makes it bring out and bud, and gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so will my word be that goes out of my mouth. It will not return to me void, but it will accomplish that which I please, and it will prosper in the thing I sent it to do Isaiah 55:10-11. The seed is the Word Mark 4:14 and we thank God that seed has been planted in her heart and in the hearts of many who have heard in recent months, including patriarchal and matriarchal figures and your progeny and posterity.

We pray together that God would continue that work. We planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase. So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase 1 Corinthians 3:6-7. Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth's sake Psalm 115:1. We ask that the Lord would order steps and bring others across her path to water what has been planted and to speak truth in love, just as He directed Philip to the Ethiopian in Acts 8:26, and Ananias to Saul in Acts 9:10, and Paul through the vision of the Macedonian man in Acts 16:9, for the steps of a man are established by Yahweh Psalm 37:23. We take comfort that the Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness, but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance 2 Peter 3:9, who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth 1 Timothy 2:4.

We rejoice that the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart Hebrews 4:12. We trust that the Father is always working and the Son is working John 5:17, and that He who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ Philippians 1:6. We pray that where humility is needed, God in His mercy would humble as He humbled Nebuchadnezzar until he lifted his eyes to heaven and his understanding returned Daniel 4:34, for before honor is humility Proverbs 18:12, that she and all who need to come to their senses would escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will 2 Timothy 2:26, like the prodigal who came to himself Luke 15:17 and like Gomer who was hedged in Hosea 2:6, and be restored to godly sorrow which produces repentance to salvation 2 Corinthians 7:10.

We pray now, Father, in the name of Jesus, that You would continue to restrain evil and keep us all from deception and temptation and the evil one, that we would receive the love of the truth that we may be saved 2 Thessalonians 2:10. We thank You in advance by faith, for whatever you may ask in prayer, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them Mark 11:24, knowing that You are a rewarder of those who diligently seek You Hebrews 11:6 and that the insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective James 5:16. Call to us and show us great and mighty things which we do not know Jeremiah 33:3, for You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think Ephesians 3:20. We ask that You would do this for Your glory, for from You and through You and to You are all things. To You be the glory forever Romans 11:36, and that salvation would be seen to belong to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb Revelation 7:10, and that every promise would be Yes and Amen in Christ 2 Corinthians 1:20. We ask all this in the name of Jesus, for whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son John 14:13, who is the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of God's creation Revelation 3:14.

We encourage you to remain steadfast in prayer and in kindness, to keep planting and watering with the Word, to walk in thanksgiving, and to trust God for the increase in His perfect timing.

We hear how much you love your wife and how deeply you long to see her walk in truth, honesty and peace at home. To keep planting and watering in prayer for months, trusting God for growth you cannot yet see, is heavy and often lonely work. We are standing with you in it and thanking God for your faithfulness.

What stayed with us in your prayer is your focus on kindness leading to a changed heart. Real repentance is more than sorrow in a moment, it is a turning of the mind and heart that only God can bring about. Our part is often the quiet, faithful part, speaking truth gently, showing steady kindness, praying when we cannot see what is happening underneath. God's part is the growth, in His time and His way. He is both perfect and patient, and His Word does not return empty but accomplishes the purpose He has for it.

One thing that may help you keep going is to stay nourished yourself while you wait. Keep rooted in the Word, keep meeting with a pastor or trusted brother who knows your situation so you are not carrying this alone, and look for one simple, steady way to show kindness at home without pressure or keeping score. That kind of safety and steadiness is what helps hearts stay open.

Father, we thank You that You hear these prayers and that You are at work even when we cannot see it. We ask You to continue to draw this wife to Yourself with Your kindness, to guard her and this whole family from evil and confusion, and to give this husband wisdom, patience and contentment as he trusts You. Protect what You have planted and bring the growth that only You can give, for Your glory. In Jesus' name, Amen.
