Kindness soften heart, Rom 2:4, Angelic Help, Gen 19:16, Holy Spirit Work, Jn 16:8. Grace to Embody Christ's Love, Biblical Counsel Bears Fruit

[Nochaeld]

Father, in Your kindness, soften my matrimonial love (we committed to each other before You in the presence of many witnesses as You remember), me, and our families to repentance, the purpose which the kindness of God is intended, Rom 2:4. Steer her heart (and all our hearts) as You do kings' hearts like channels of water. Help her to come home and be willing to meet together with our pastors like we've promised, put everything on the table, James 5:15-16.

Do as You did for Lot in helping him to escape Sodom. You helped him out of indecision by literally seizing him by angels, Gen 19:16... Do as You did for the fisherman who You chose to lead the disciples -- he was proud and boasted, said he was better than all the others, and then denied you repeatedly --- but You didn't give up on him. You gave a similar experience to his first call to be a fisher of men, and then reinstated him three times with gracious humility and even expanded his tent to shepherding others, showing us how to evangelize in early Acts, and how to be a pastor in 1st and 2nd Peter… Thank You for not giving up on Peter…

You mercifully and powerfully confronted Saul on the way to Damascus to persecute your brethren, Acts 9:1-31. Later, after blinding him, letting him mess up, make tents and then giving him some private discipleship — “while they were worshipping the Lord and fasting, The Holy Spirit set Barnabas and him apart for the work to which I called them,” Acts 13:2-3. You made him the Paul we all know and love -- a light to all the people groups... A name change signifies a change in calling and identity -- Thank You for not giving up on Paul… Don’t give up on the one I love and am so ready and willing to forgive... I truly believe You are MORE willing than I…

It was while they were ministering to the Lord and fasting -- please help me hunger and thirst for righteousness in these situation, and help others share this burden with me for her, me, our child, the entire situation and all that’s transpired, good, bad and ugly, to be turned for glory, praise and honor.

The early church said, "fasting and giving lends wings to our prayers." Let that be shown to be true not only yesterday, but today and forever. Please work powerfully within me, humbling my soul with fasting, helping the word become flesh, as John says, to love The LORD and my neighbor with ALL my heart, soul, mind, will, emotions, physical strength and finances -- my thoughts, words, deeds, actions and especially my reactions -- let the word be engrafted, James 1:22-23.

Loose angels to assist her return before group this week, Gen 19:16, Heb 1:14... Place and use the love of Jesus in me to publicly demonstrate true love of the gospel, Gal 3:1. Let me model it and teach it to myself, her, every family member, those near and dear and those far off and beyond to extended family, friends especially any who might consider me an enemy -- let me be a living ambassador Your love to be known and read by all people groups, everywhere, 2 Cor 3:2.

Do not take us out of the world, but keep us from the evil one, John 17:15. Sanctify us by the truth; Your word is truth, John 17:17. Let the Word of Christ be engrafted, James 1:22-23, that we may be effective doers. Keep her, them and us from evil people, 2 Thes 3:2, temptation, Matt 6:13, sin Zeph 3:13 and the evil one, Matt 6:13. Thank you for the angels in advance -- they're real and really do get sent ahead, Heb 13, and thank You in advance for the fact "You like to make their faces change," in Jesus' Name.

We hear your heart’s anguish and your deep longing for restoration in your marriage—a covenant made before God and witnesses, a sacred bond that reflects Christ’s love for His church. Your cry for kindness to soften hearts, for repentance, and for divine intervention is not in vain. The Lord hears the prayers of the righteous, and your persistence in seeking Him is a testament to your faith.

Romans 2:4 reminds us that *"the kindness of God leads to repentance."* It is His kindness, not our striving, that melts hardened hearts. We join you in praying that the Holy Spirit would convict and draw your wife—and all involved—toward godly sorrow and a turning back to God’s design for your marriage. Proverbs 21:1 declares, *"The king’s heart is in the Lord’s hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever He desires."* If the Lord can steer the hearts of kings, He can certainly guide your wife’s steps back to the home and the commitment you both made before Him.

Yet we must also address the reality of sin’s grip. If there has been unfaithfulness, emotional or physical abandonment, or any violation of the marital covenant, we rebuke those strongholds in Jesus’ name. Fornication and adultery grieve the Holy Spirit and defile what God has joined together (Hebrews 13:4). If these sins are present, repentance must come—not just for restoration, but for the soul’s sake. James 5:16 exhorts us, *"Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed."* This is why your call for pastoral counsel is wise. The church is meant to be a hospital for the broken, a place where truth and grace meet.

We are moved by your willingness to forgive, mirroring Christ’s own forgiveness of us. Yet forgiveness does not mean ignoring sin or enabling it. True love *"does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth"* (1 Corinthians 13:6). If your wife has strayed, she must be called to repentance—not just for the sake of the marriage, but for her own walk with God. The angels who seized Lot’s hand to lead him out of Sodom (Genesis 19:16) were not gentle in their urgency, for the situation was dire. In the same way, we pray that the Lord would send His messengers—whether through His Word, godly counsel, or even supernatural intervention—to awaken her conscience and lead her back.

You mention the examples of Peter and Paul, men who failed yet were restored by God’s grace. Peter denied Christ three times, yet Jesus reinstated him three times (John 21:15-17). Paul persecuted the church, yet became its greatest missionary. These stories remind us that no one is beyond God’s reach. But restoration requires humility. Peter had to face his pride; Paul had to submit to Ananias and the disciples in Damascus. If your wife is to return, she must lay down her defenses and surrender to God’s will. We pray that the Holy Spirit, who convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8), would do a mighty work in her heart.

Your commitment to fasting and prayer is powerful. Isaiah 58:6 declares that the fast God chooses is one that *"looses the bonds of wickedness, undoes the straps of the yoke, lets the oppressed go free, and breaks every yoke."* As you humble yourself before the Lord, we believe He will break the yokes of pride, bitterness, and rebellion in your marriage. Let your hunger for righteousness be a witness to others, that they may join you in intercession.

We also affirm your desire to embody Christ’s love—not just in word, but in deed. Galatians 3:1 reminds us that Jesus was *"publicly portrayed as crucified"* before our eyes. May your life be a living testimony of the gospel’s power to transform. If there are those who oppose you, let your response be one of grace, that they may see Christ in you (2 Corinthians 3:2). The angels you ask to be loosed (Hebrews 1:14) are indeed real, and we declare that they are being dispatched even now to minister to your wife and guard your family.

Yet we must also pray protection over you. Jesus prayed, *"I do not ask that You take them out of the world, but that You keep them from the evil one"* (John 17:15). The enemy seeks to devour marriages, to sow discord, and to steal hope. We rebuke every spirit of division, deception, and destruction in Jesus’ name. May the Lord sanctify you and your wife by His truth (John 17:17), that you may walk in holiness and unity.

Finally, we must address the foundation of your prayer. You have come before God with reverence and Scripture, yet we must emphasize that it is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father (John 14:6). There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If your wife—or anyone reading this—does not know Christ as Savior, we urge you to pray for their salvation first. A marriage built on anything less than a shared faith in Jesus will struggle to withstand the storms of life.

So we pray with you now:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, yet full of faith in Your power to restore what is broken. You are the God who makes all things new, who turns ashes into beauty and mourning into joy. We ask that You would soften the heart of this wife, that she would remember the vows she made before You and return to her husband with a spirit of repentance and humility. Convict her of any sin, Lord, and lead her to godly sorrow that leads to life (2 Corinthians 7:10).

We declare that the kindness of God is at work in her life, drawing her back to You and to her marriage. Send Your Holy Spirit to minister to her, to break every chain of rebellion, and to fill her with a hunger for righteousness. Raise up godly counsel around her—pastors, mentors, and friends who will speak truth in love and guide her back to the path of obedience.

For this husband, we pray for strength and perseverance. Guard his heart from bitterness, from the temptation to take matters into his own hands, or to compromise in his own walk with You. Let him be a living example of Christ’s love, even in this trial. May his prayers, fasting, and obedience bear fruit as he seeks You above all else.

We loose angels to minister to this family, to protect them from the schemes of the enemy, and to guide them into Your perfect will. Break every stronghold of division, Lord, and let Your peace reign in their home. If there has been unfaithfulness or sin, expose it, bring it to light, and lead them to repentance and restoration.

We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above every name, the name by which every knee will bow. May Your will be done in this marriage, and may Your glory be revealed through their story. Amen.

We stand with you in prayer, dear friend, as you intercede for your marriage. Your heart's cry for kindness to soften hearts, for repentance, and for divine intervention resonates with us. We join you in asking the Lord to work in the heart of your wife, drawing her back to Him and to the commitment you both made before Him.

In your request, you've mentioned several Scriptures that speak to this situation. Let's meditate on a few more:

1. **Proverbs 6:32-33** - "Whoever does such things shall get his own self for a possession, and he shall fall into the snare of his own devices. He shall die for lack of instruction, and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray."

We pray that the Lord would open your wife's eyes to the consequences of her actions and lead her to repentance, saving her from the snare of her own devices.

2. **Ephesians 4:26** - "Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not give the devil an opportunity."

We ask the Lord to help you manage your emotions in a godly way. Forgive as Christ has forgiven you, and do not let the sun go down on your anger. Trust that the Lord is just and will bring about restoration in His time.

3. **1 Corinthians 7:15** - "But if the unbeliever leaves, let it be so. The brother or sister is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace."

While we pray for reconciliation, we also trust that God's will is best, even if it means walking separate paths for a season. We ask for wisdom and peace in whatever direction the Lord leads.

Let's continue to lift this situation to the Lord, trusting in His goodness and sovereignty. Let's also remember to encourage one another in love and good deeds, just as we've been doing.

Seek His Face and Presence not just His hand. In his Presence is everything you need. This does not mean you can have any material thing , perfect spouse because you asked for it in Jesus Christ name. You will have your needs, some of your wants, and difficult trials. The difficult trials are supposed to refine your character and make you more like Jesus. He is more interested in getting you to everlasting life and having your heart in the right place than he is in giving you gifts. It’s eternal life he’s concerned with.

Praying in agreement with you in Jesus' name, Amen
