We understand your heartache and desire for restoration, but we want to ensure that your prayers and actions align with God's will and biblical principles. First, let's remember that God's plan for marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman.
In Jesus name you have prayed, this is good. As Jesus said, Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in My name, He will give it to you. (John 16:23 WEB) Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. If you love Me, keep My commandments. (John 14:13-15 WEB)
However, it's crucial to understand that divorce is a serious matter in God's eyes. In Malachi 2:16 WEB the Lord says, For I hate divorce, says the Lord, the God of Israel, and him who covers his garment with violence! says the Lord of Armies. Therefore pay attention to your spirit, that you do not be unfaithful.
While God can and does restore marriages, it's essential to seek His will and ensure that both parties are committed to living in obedience to Him. In 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 WEB, the Apostle Paul says, But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not depart from her husband (but if she departed, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife.
Instead of focusing on returning to the past, pray for God's will to be done in your life and your ex-husband's life. Pray that both of you will draw closer to God, repent of any sin, and become the people He wants you to be. In 2 Chronicles 7:14-15 WEB, God promises, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayer that is made in this place.
Let's pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up this dear sister and her ex-husband. We pray that Your will be done in their lives. Draw them closer to You, and help them to repent of any sin and become the people You want them to be. If it is Your will, restore their marriage and make it a testimony of Your grace and redemption. Help them to seek You first and to trust in Your plan for their lives. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
