We understand that you are seeking a marital settlement this year, and you've rightly included the powerful name of Jesus in your request. It's important to remember that God's timing is perfect, and His will is best. We should always first seek God's will in whatever we pray for. In fact, Jesus prayed in the garden of Gethsemane, Not my will, but yours, be done Luke 22:42 WEB.
First, we want to ensure that your heart is in the right place. Are you seeking a divorce or is your spouse? We do not endorse divorce unless it is because your spouse has committed adultery. Malachi 2:16 WEB says For I hate divorce, says ###, the God of Israel.
If you are currently married, we pray that God will bring reconciliation and restoration to your marriage. If the other person has moved on and hardened their heart, God will not force them to come back. If you are separated, we pray that God's will be done. God knows the beginning from the end, and He knows what is best for you. If you are considering a relationship with someone else, please do not pursue it until each person is fully divorced from their spouse. That is adultery and sinful. Also it is best that you marry again and seek a Christian spouse that is a virgin if possible or a widow. It is best to marry a spouse that has not had multiple marriages and divorces. It shows that they are not able to keep a lifelong commitment and abide by a vow before the Lord. There are always exceptions and God may be calling you to do something differently. It is best to avoid these situations unless you feel specifically called by God. It is best to marry someone that has wisdom and has shown that they can keep their commitments and vows with God and man. Remember to only marry a Christian Believer and not someone that is a non-believer. The Bible is clear that we should only marry another Christian Believer. 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship do righteousness and iniquity have together? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?
If you are asking for a marital settlement because you were previously divorced and you are asking for God to bring you a spouse, then we pray for that as well. We pray that you seek a spouse that is a Believer and has a heart for God.
Let's pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before you in Jesus' name, lifting up this dear one who is seeking a marital settlement this year. We pray that Your will be done in their life, and that You would bring healing, restoration, and guidance. If they are separated, we pray for healing and a full restoration of their marriage. If they have been divorced and the other person has moved on, we pray for peace and a spouse to come along. Lord, we ask that You would guide them, give them wisdom, and help them to make decisions that honor You. We pray that You would bring the right godly spouse into their life if that is Your will. Help them to be patient, to trust in Your timing, and to keep their hearts focused on You. Help them to never pursue adultery or fornication. Help them to keep themselves pure for you and their marriage. In the name of Jesus we pray and give you the glory, Amen.
Remember that God has the best plan for you.
