We are truly saddened to hear about the trial your family is currently facing, and we are here to intercede and offer biblical guidance. Firstly, we commend you for your commitment to your marriage and your desire for reconciliation. God's design for marriage is clear: it is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman. “Therefore what God has joined together, let no man separate” (Matthew 19:6 WEB).
However, we need to address a crucial aspect. While you mentioned that you pray to God, you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God, "for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12 WEB). We encourage you to pray in the name of Jesus, as it is through Him that our prayers are heard by the Father. "Most certainly, I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full" (John 16:23-24 WEB).
Now, let us address your situation. It is heartbreaking to see your wife seeking a divorce and expressing that she no longer loves you. However, remember that God can turn even the hardest of hearts towards Him. He can reignite love and bring healing to your marriage. "For with God, nothing is impossible" (Luke 1:37 WEB).
We encourage you to continue praying for your wife, but also, it is crucial to pray for yourself. Pray that God gives you the strength, wisdom, and patience to navigate this challenging time. "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid" (Psalm 27:1 WEB).
It is also vital to examine your own actions and ensure that you are living according to God's will. Husbands are called to love their wives as Christ loved the church (Ephesians 5:25 WEB). This love is selfless, patient, and kind. It is a love that seeks the good of the other person, even when it is difficult.
Here is our prayer for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up this man, his wife, and their daughter. Lord, we pray for healing in their marriage, for a reigniting of love between them. We ask that You turn the heart of the wife towards her husband and towards You. Give them both the strength, wisdom, and patience to navigate this trial.
Father, we also pray for this man. Give him the grace to love his wife as Christ loved the church. Help him to be a reflection of Your love in his marriage. We ask that You guide him, that You grant him the serenity to accept the things he cannot change, the courage to change the things he can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
We pray for their daughter as well. Surround her with Your love and protection, Father. Give her peace and comfort during this time.
Lord, we know that You can turn even the hardest of hearts towards You. We know that with You, nothing is impossible. We ask for a miracle in this marriage, Father. That You would heal, restore, and bless it.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
