[Articles]

We have heard your request and we join with you in bringing your husband and this court appearance before the throne of grace together in Jesus' name. We are encouraged to hear your honesty, that you are both taking accountability before God and that you have been praying daily. That humility is precious to the Lord, for as it is written, The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. Psalm 51:17.

We want to speak plainly about what happened, because true repentance brings healing. Acting out of anger to damage property is sin, and the Word warns us about this. Be angry, and don't sin. Don't let the sun go down on your wrath, and don't give place to the devil. Ephesians 4:26-27. And also, So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger; for the anger of man doesn't produce the righteousness of God. James 1:19-20. We commend your husband for his remorse and we commend you for saying you contributed to the incident and need to take accountability. That is the right heart. He who conceals his sins doesn't prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them obtains mercy. Proverbs 28:13. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9. We encourage you both not only to confess to God but to be fully truthful and respectful before the magistrate, to make restitution where possible as Zacchaeus did when he said, If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much. Luke 19:8, and to accept the consequences with humility.

We also recognize that God has ordained governing authorities for order and justice. Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God. Romans 13:1. The magistrate is described as a servant of God to you for good. Romans 13:4. Therefore we do not pray simply for an escape from consequences, but for justice tempered with mercy, for wisdom for the magistrate, and for a heart in your husband that will submit to what is decided and grow in self-control, which is part of the fruit of the Spirit. Galatians 5:22-23. God can use even a difficult outcome for good and for refining character. We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28.

You said nothing is too big for the Lord, and that is true, for nothing is too hard for you. Jeremiah 32:17. Yet we noticed you spoke of the Lord and of prayer without mentioning the name of Jesus Christ. We gently remind you that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and that our prayers are heard. Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. John 14:6. There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12. It is by believing in Jesus Christ, His death for our sins and His resurrection, that we are forgiven and reconciled to God. If you have not already, we encourage you both to place your full trust in Jesus alone for salvation and to pray in His name, for that is our confidence before God.

So we pray together now.

Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, Your Son. We thank You for Your mercy and for the conviction of sin that has led to remorse and accountability. We lift up this husband before You as he stands before the court today. Lord, grant him a calm and truthful tongue, a respectful demeanor, and a heart fully surrendered to Your will. We pray for the magistrate, that You would grant wisdom and discernment, that the decision would be just and merciful, as You desire mercy to triumph. We pray for restitution to be made where there was damage, and for a new pattern of handling anger in a godly way, with patience and self-control. We lift up his wife as well, thank You for her willingness to own her part. Heal any strife between them, strengthen their marriage as a lifelong covenant before You, and help them to build each other up in love and to spur one another to good works. Replace anxiety with Your peace, for You have said, In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7. Whatever the outcome today, help them to receive it with humility, to learn from Your discipline, and to walk forward in obedience and newness of life. We ask all this in the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ, amen.

We encourage you to continue in daily prayer together, to study the Scriptures on anger and forgiveness, to seek godly counsel for managing conflict in your marriage, and to trust the Lord with the result today knowing He loves you and desires your holiness even more than your comfort.

We are thinking of you both today as your husband goes before the magistrate. Waiting for a decision like this is heavy, and we appreciate the honest way you have described what happened, your husband's remorse, and your own part in it. Owning your actions while still trusting that nothing is too big for the Lord is a humble and healthy place to stand.

We join you in praying for a fair and merciful outcome, and for wisdom for the magistrate as he weighs the facts. We also pray for peace for you both whatever the decision brings.

In these hours it can help to keep things simple and steady together. If you have a solicitor or advocate, stay close to their guidance, answer truthfully and respectfully in court, and have any evidence of repair, restitution or apology ready if it is asked for. Afterwards, give yourselves time to talk and pray together about what you have learned and what accountability will look like going forward.

Father, we lift this husband and wife to You today. Give them calm, clarity and honesty in the courtroom, give the magistrate wisdom and fairness, and lead this couple in the steps ahead toward restoration and growth. In Jesus' name, Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your honest and humble request has been heard, and we join you in bringing it before the throne of grace. We thank you for the openness with which you have spoken, for acknowledging anger and the damage that followed, for expressing remorse, and for taking accountability for your own part. That honesty is right before God, and it is the place where His mercy is sought and found.

The Scriptures teach us to examine what kind of repentance we have. There is a repentance that is only of the flesh, stirred by fear of consequences, and there is a repentance unto life, which is worked in the heart by the Holy Spirit. True repentance gives God glory. It says, Lord, I have no claim upon You, I have no right but to be judged, yet I appeal to Your tender mercy. It looks out of self to Christ and to Christ only, trusting not in our sorrow but in His finished work. It is also practical and lasting, it yields works meet for repentance and it lives as long as faith lives. It does not end with words but shows itself in a changed life, in turning from present sin because of love for Him who died for us, in making what restitution we can, and in walking in new obedience day by day.

We are glad to hear that you have both been praying every day. Continue in that. Let your repentance and your faith go together, for the repentance that ejects sin as an evil tenant is inseparable from the faith that admits Christ to be the sole Master of the heart. Come to Him not with a hope that you are too far gone, for that is to insult His mercy, but with confidence that though your sins be great, His mercy is greater still. All His mercy to a sinner is free. He never sells, He always gives, because He will have mercy on whom He will have mercy. He is slow to anger and plenteous in mercy, and even when His sword might justly be unsheathed, His mercy holds it back. Yet we must not presume upon that slowness, but use it to seek Him while He may be found.

We will pray for your husband as he stands before the magistrate today, and for you as you stand beside him. We do not ask God to set aside what is just, but to show mercy within justice, and to give the magistrate wisdom and fairness in his decisions. We pray that whatever the outcome, the Lord would use it for your good and for His glory, to deepen true repentance, to establish you both more firmly in Christ, and to teach you His way of peace.

Let us pray together. O Lord our God, according to the multitude of Your tender mercies, have mercy upon these Your servants. You see the sorrow for sin, the remorse for anger and for damage done, and the desire to take responsibility. Grant them repentance that needs not to be repented of, a repentance that gives You glory and that looks to Jesus alone for pardon. Wash them in the blood of Christ, blot out their transgressions, and fill their hearts with living faith that brings forth living works. Grant them grace to make amends where it is possible, to turn from anger, and to walk in love and self control by Your Spirit. In the court this day, grant wisdom to those who judge, restrain what is harsh where mercy may rightly be shown, and let Your sovereign will be done. Above all, let this trial draw this husband and wife nearer to You, that they may know the sweetness of pardon within the bitterness of sorrow for sin, and that their lives may henceforth show that they have truly turned to You. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, our only hope of salvation, Amen.

[Chrysostom]

We have heard your request and we join you in prayer before the Lord with you both.

We thank God that you are praying daily, that your husband shows remorse, and that you are willing to take accountability for your part. That honesty is a good and necessary step. Anger that leads to harming what belongs to another is sin against God and against our neighbor, and true repentance does not only feel sorrow but turns from that anger, seeks to make restoration where possible, and submits to rightful consequences.

We pray for your husband today as he appears before the magistrate, and for you as you stand with him.

We pray that God, who saves through Jesus Christ alone, would draw you both deeper into repentance and faith in Him, washing away sin through confession and a contrite heart, and bringing forth the fruit of a changed life. We pray that the Lord would give your husband grace to speak truthfully, to accept responsibility without excuse, and to show by his words and future conduct that his remorse is real. We pray that He would help you both to put away anger and to pursue gentleness, self control and peace in your marriage, remembering that your marriage is a lifelong covenant before God and that love is shown in patience and humility toward one another.

We pray for the magistrate, that God would grant wisdom to judge justly and with mercy, according to the law and the facts of the case. We do not ask God to set aside justice, but to let justice be done with mercy where mercy is fitting, and to use even a difficult outcome for good in your lives if that is His will. We pray that whatever the decision, your husband would receive it with humility, make full restitution for the property damage as he is able, and take practical steps to guard against anger in the future, whether through pastoral counsel, accountability, and learning to walk in the Spirit.

Nothing is too big for the Lord to forgive when we come to Him through Christ with a humble and repentant heart, yet forgiveness does not always remove earthly consequences. Trust Him not only for a light sentence but for the grace to do what is right before Him, to be reconciled to those harmed, and to live a new way.

We will continue to pray that the Lord grants you both peace, strengthens your marriage in holiness, and leads you into a life that bears witness to His mercy and truth. May He give you comfort today, steady your hearts as you wait, and help you to give thanks and seek His will in all things.

Father, have mercy on this husband and wife, grant them repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, grant wisdom to the court, and work in this trial for their good and Your glory. Amen.
