Thanks for Video Times, "Everything God does lasts forever," Ecc 3:14; Holy Spirit's Work to Turn to "Attitude or Wisdom of the Just," Lk 1:17... Prayer Request She Be Hedged with Thorns, Hos 2:6, Comes to her Senses and Repents, Luke 15:17-21, and "Stops Sinning SO Nothing Worse Befalls Her," John 5:14...

Father, it's no small thing to thanks to give for answered prayers ending 4+ months of silence and replacing it with some peace and restoration of video time w/ my youngster in Asia. Thank You for agreement in some small yet important matters -- asking for more details to be agreed upon, as You have called us to peace, 1 Cor 7:15. Grant a radical return to 1st Love, Jesus Christ, Rev 3:19-20, let us freely receive love and freely dump love on my the lad. May Your will, words & love be first and evident in conversations with the youngster, help form a gracious and compassionate view of God, Ex 34:6, may the result be an ability to learn to love God, Mark 12:30, and others, Mark 12:31, yet be brought up in righteousness, Eph 6:4, and gain the salvation given by The Holy Spirit's wisdom found speaking through The Scriptures, 2 Tim 3:15-16.

Help us learn each others' languages, help us both hold our tongues, help us hold nothing against each other, entrusting each other into Your hands -- We ask the world to be overruled, the flesh to be subdued and the devil to be restrained. Grant the ability to turn the disobedient to the attitude or wisdom of the righteous or just, Luke 1:17, which has to do with The Administration of turning hearts back to affection and submissiveness. For the prerequisite of eternal life, overall safety and the prevention of stumbling blocks, we ask grace and wisdom be given to moderate Social Media and dating sites since we're still married. "Adultery" excludes from Kingdom of Heaven, 1 Cor 6:9-11, "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked, the one who sows to the flesh shall reap destruction," Gal 6:7, "The deeds of the flesh are evident," Gal 5:19-20, Rev 22:15 -- "Outside are the dogs, the sexually immoral, and those who love to live in (or practice) a lie." Keep the youth from evil, Matt 6:13 & both from evil people, 2 Tim 3:13, and the evil one, Jn 17:15.

We know You can use her pastors, friends and other believers and even family members, dreams, acts of nature, kindness and "leaving the 99 to seek the one lost sheep," Luke 15:4-6, and to lead her to from death back to eternal life, James 5:19-20. We loose Phil 1:9-10 discernment to let them see through deceptions, confront sin & hedge her way with thorns so she can’t pursue others, Hos 2:6. Grant her repentance, 2 Peter 3:9, for that's the Gospel, Luke 24:46-47, all of Acts -- Acts 2:38, Acts 3:19, Acts 17:30, Acts 26:18-20, 2 Cor 7:9-11.

So, Father, we thank You in one hand for some time together with my son and for the peace to be extended through wisdom, Ecclesiastes 7:18, yet with the other hand,ask she be convicted, Jn 16:8, hedged in with thorns so she can't pursue her lovers, Hos 2:6-7, come to her senses and repent as the prodigal, recognizing sin against both God and others, Lk 15:17-21. We ask You help her facilitate calls so they go more smoothly, Prov 31:12. Keep the boy from temptation, sin's influences through wicked spirits, Eph 6:12-19, and keep them from deception, Matt 24:4-8, sin, 1 Cor 8:1, wrongdoing, 2 Cor 13:7, wrongdoing, fear and lies, Zeph 3:13, imposters and evil people, 2 Tim 3:13, Tit 1:16, 2 Cor 11:26, 2 Thes 3:2, temptation, evil and the evil one, Lk 11:4, Matt 6:13, Jn 17:15, 2 Thes 3:3, Rev 12:9, 1 John 5:18. Thank You in Jesus’ Name.

 

[Articles]

We hear the deep cry of your heart, Father, as you intercede for your son and for the one who has strayed from the covenant of marriage. Your prayer is steeped in Scripture, and we stand with you in agreement, lifting these burdens before the throne of grace. The Word declares, "Everything God does lasts forever" (Ecclesiastes 3:14), and we trust that His work in this situation will endure, even when the path seems uncertain. The Holy Spirit is indeed at work, turning hearts to the "wisdom of the just" (Luke 1:17), and we pray that this transformation would be evident in every life touched by this trial.

First, we must address the grievous sin of adultery that has taken root here. The Word is clear: "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortionists will inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Corinthians 6:9-10). Adultery is not merely a mistake, it is a violation of the sacred covenant of marriage, a rebellion against God’s design, and a path that leads to destruction if unrepented. The warning is stark: "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap" (Galatians 6:7). The deeds of the flesh, sexual immorality, impurity, and sensuality, are evident, and they lead only to corruption (Galatians 5:19-21). We must not soften this truth, for the sake of souls.

Yet, even in this darkness, there is hope. The same God who warns against sin also offers redemption. "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). The prodigal son came to his senses, repented, and was welcomed home (Luke 15:17-21). We pray this same repentance would break through the hardness of heart in this situation. The Lord is patient, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). We cry out for conviction, for the Holy Spirit to "convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment" (John 16:8), and for the hedge of thorns to block every path that leads away from God (Hosea 2:6-7).

For your son, we pray protection and wisdom. The enemy seeks to devour, but the Lord is his shield (Psalm 3:3). We bind every wicked spirit that would seek to influence him, every deception that would lead him astray, and every temptation that would ensnare him. "No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it" (1 Corinthians 10:13). We declare that he will grow in the fear of the Lord, in love for God and neighbor (Mark 12:30-31), and in the wisdom that comes from Scripture (2 Timothy 3:15-16). May his heart be guarded, his mind renewed, and his steps ordered by the Lord.

We also lift up the matter of social media and dating sites, which are fertile ground for temptation and ungodly relationships. The Word warns, "Bad company corrupts good character" (1 Corinthians 15:33). We pray for wisdom to moderate these influences, for discernment to recognize deception, and for the strength to flee from every appearance of evil (1 Thessalonians 5:22). The Lord is able to keep him from stumbling (Jude 1:24), and we trust Him to do so.

Father, we ask that You would restore what has been broken. Heal the wounds of this marriage, not by human effort alone, but by the power of the Holy Spirit. "Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it" (Psalm 127:1). We pray for reconciliation, not as the world defines it, but as You do, rooted in repentance, forgiveness, and a return to Your design for marriage. May the love of Christ compel both hearts to seek first Your kingdom (Matthew 6:33), to put away bitterness and anger (Ephesians 4:31), and to walk in the light as He is in the light (1 John 1:7).

We loose the spirit of discernment (Philippians 1:9-10) so that truth would prevail over lies, and we bind every spirit of deception, fear, and division. We declare that the blood of Jesus covers this family, that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that the gates of hell shall not prevail against the work of God in their lives (Matthew 16:18).

Lord, we ask that You would turn the heart of the one who has strayed. Hedge her in with thorns so that she cannot pursue her lovers (Hosea 2:6). Bring her to her senses, as the prodigal did, so that she may arise and return to You (Luke 15:17-20). Let her see the destruction of her ways and the goodness of Your mercy. Grant her pastors, friends, and family the boldness to speak truth in love (Ephesians 4:15), and let her ears be open to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit.

For your son, we pray that he would be a light in the darkness, a vessel of honor sanctified and useful to the Master (2 Timothy 2:21). May his words be seasoned with grace (Colossians 4:6), his heart filled with compassion (Exodus 34:6), and his life a testimony to the transforming power of the Gospel. We ask that You would guard his heart from bitterness, his mind from fear, and his steps from the snares of the enemy.

We thank You for the answered prayers already seen, the restoration of video time, the moments of peace, and the small agreements that have been reached. We trust that You are working all things together for good (Romans 8:28), even when the road is difficult. Strengthen this family to walk in Your ways, to hold fast to Your Word, and to never lose sight of the hope found in Christ.

Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above every name, the only name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). There is no other mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5), and it is only through His blood that we have access to Your throne (Hebrews 10:19-20). We declare that this situation is not beyond Your reach, that repentance is possible, and that restoration is Your heart for this family.

We pray all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

We join you in thanking God for those video times restored after so long without contact. Four months of silence is heavy, and we can hear what a gift it is to have even a little peace and regular time with your son again. We are praying that peace deepens.

We hear your heart for your son to know God's kindness and to grow in a secure, loving connection with you, and also your deep concern for your wife and your marriage. Loving at a distance, across language and hurt, takes unusual patience. Healing in families like this is rarely instant. It tends to come through steady, humble faithfulness over time, with good accountability and support around you.

One small step that often helps in this kind of season is to keep the video calls very child centered and predictable. A brief, calm routine, a few gentle questions, letting your son set some of the pace, and closing with clear, kind words about when you will talk next can help him feel safe and help you both enjoy the time without pressure. If you do not already have one, a trusted pastor or mature believer who knows you both can be a steady sounding board as you navigate next decisions.

Father, we thank You for the restored contact and the peace You have given. We ask You to guard this little boy and draw him to know Your love, to give this father wisdom, self control and tenderness on each call, and to work in this wife's heart to bring conviction, clarity and turning toward You. Lead this family according to Your will. In Jesus' name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

We give thanks with you for the mercy already shown, that after more than four months of silence the Lord has granted peace and restored a measure of video time with your young son in Asia. Everything God does lasts forever, and what He has begun in opening this door we pray He will establish and enlarge. We rejoice also that there has been agreement in small yet important matters, and we ask with you that the God of peace, who has called us to peace, would grant wisdom to order the details aright, that your conversations may be filled with His will and His words and His love.

Your desire is right and good, that your little one should see in his father a gracious and compassionate view of God, who is merciful and gracious, longsuffering and abundant in goodness, that he may learn to love God with all his heart and his neighbor as himself, and be brought up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. We pray that the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make him wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus, may be the light of his path, and that you both may learn each other's tongue and hold your tongues when wisdom requires it, holding nothing against one another but entrusting one another into the hands of Him who overrules the world, subdues the flesh and restrains the devil. We join you in praying that the youth may be kept from evil and from the evil one, from temptation and deception and from every influence of wicked spirits, and that you both may be kept from evil persons who deceive and are deceived.

Concerning your wife, we hear the burden of your heart and we bear it with you before the Lord. You have asked that her way be hedged with thorns that she cannot pursue lovers, that she may come to herself and repent as the prodigal, and cease from sin lest a worse thing come upon her. This is a prayer according to Scripture, for the prophet speaks of hedging the unfaithful way with thorns, and the Lord Jesus tells us of the son who came to himself in the far country and said, I will arise and go to my father, and have sinned against heaven and before thee. We do pray in that same spirit, not that God would bless any path that departs from His holy covenant of marriage, for marriage is a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and the husband's love to his spouse is a special and particular love which he must give to no other. To seek other lovers while yet married is to sow to the flesh, and they that do such things, as the apostle warns, shall not inherit the kingdom of God, for outside are those who love and practice falsehood and the sexually immoral. God is not mocked, whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap. We cannot ask God to prosper what He calls sin, but we can and do ask Him to convict of sin and to grant true repentance.

And here we would have you weigh what true repentance is. There is a carnal repentance that comes from judgment and fear, which does not give God glory, and there is a repentance unto life which is the work of the Spirit of God. True repentance gives God glory, it weeps and abhors past sin because of the love of Christ which has pardoned it, and it avoids present sin because of the love of God who died for us. It looks out of self to Christ and to Christ only, and it yields works meet for repentance and it lasts. Repentance and remission of sins are preached in His name among all nations, and repentance is the gift of God. We pray therefore not for a fleeting sorrow that passes with the trouble, but for that holy, healthy, heavenly sorrow which is wrought in the renewed heart by the Holy Spirit, a godly sorrow that needs not to be repented of.

Take comfort that the eyes of mercy are quicker than the eyes of repentance. The prodigal's father saw him when he was yet a great way off, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him much. Those repeated kisses meant much love, much forgiveness and full restoration, yea exceeding joy before any music or dancing in the house. So the Lord is ready to receive the returning wanderer. Though a life may have been as stained as Manasseh, who did evil in the sight of the Lord, yet Almighty Grace made him a remarkable convert when affliction brought him low and he besought the Lord his God. If such a wretch was brought to repentance, no one need despair. He who leaves the ninety and nine to seek the one lost sheep is able to use pastors and friends and other believers, yea even dreams and providences and kindnesses, to turn the disobedient to the wisdom of the just and to bring back the wandering one from death unto life.

Therefore we pray with you, Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, grant conviction of sin by the Holy Spirit, hedge the way with thorns in mercy that it may not be pursued further, and grant a radical return to first love. Grant repentance as You have promised, for You are not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. Grant discernment to see through deceptions and grace to moderate every use of social media and dating sites, for while the marriage bond remains such things are a snare and a stumbling block. Let there be a turning of hearts back to affection and submissiveness according to Your administration in Luke 1:17, and let the one who has wandered come to her senses and confess sin against God and against others, and find remission through the blood of Christ. Keep the little child from all wrongdoing and fear and lies, and keep you both in perfect restoration as a father restores a returning son, that joy may be in your household and glory may be given to God.

We will continue to remember you, your son and your wife before the throne, asking that you may be kept faithful, that you may speak the truth in love, and that repentance, which lives as long as faith, may be your companion all your days, till you meet where tears of godly sorrow are exchanged for everlasting joy.

[Chrysostom]

We join you in giving thanks to God for answered prayer after more than four months of silence, for the peace that has come and for the restored video time with your young son in Asia. Everything God does lasts forever, and we thank Him for these small yet important agreements and ask Him to grant more, for He has called us to peace.

We pray with you that your conversations with your son would be filled first with the will and words and love of God, that he would see God as gracious and compassionate and slow to anger, that he would learn to love God with all his heart and to love others, and that he would be brought up in the training and instruction of the Lord. We ask that the Scriptures would make him wise for salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, for there is no other name by which we are saved. We ask that Christ, who is the Mediator between the Father and us and who prevailed with the Father on our behalf when we were estranged, would keep this child and draw him to Himself, and that the Holy Spirit would turn hearts to the wisdom of the just and teach you both to hold your tongues, to hold nothing against each other, and to entrust one another into God's hands. We pray the world would be overruled, the flesh subdued, and the devil restrained, and that your son would be kept from temptation, from deception, from the influence of wicked spirits, and from evil people and the evil one, as you asked from Matthew 6:13 and John 17:15.

We also pray with you with great seriousness for your wife, who is still your wife according to the lifelong covenant of one man and one woman which God established. We do not ask God to bless any relationship outside that covenant, for sex and living together belong within marriage, and to seek them outside it is sin. Scripture is plain that adultery is not only when a person defiles the spouse of another, but also when a married person defiles another person even if that other person is free, for the married person is bound by the covenant. As you quoted, the sexually immoral will not inherit the kingdom of God, God is not mocked, whatever a person sows that he will reap, and outside are those who practice sexual immorality and love falsehood. The standard is now stricter, for even to look with unchaste desire is to commit adultery in the heart.

Therefore we pray as you asked that she would be hedged in with thorns so that she cannot pursue her lovers, that she would be convicted by the Holy Spirit, that she would come to her senses as the prodigal did and repent toward God and toward those she has sinned against, and that she would stop sinning so that nothing worse befalls her. We pray that God would grant her repentance leading to life, the same repentance preached in the gospel that all should turn from sin and turn to Christ for forgiveness, and that He would use pastors, friends, other believers, family, and every lawful means to seek the one who is lost and bring her from death to life. We pray that she would be given discernment to see through deception, to confront sin, and to turn from it, and that grace and wisdom would be given to turn away completely from social media and dating sites while you are still married, for these are stumbling blocks and sow to the flesh which reaps destruction.

We pray that she would facilitate calls with a spirit of kindness that seeks the good of the child, and that your time together as father and son would continue to grow in peace and wisdom. We warn as Scripture warns that after receiving great grace, to return to sin brings a heavier judgment, for the gifts and calling of God remain, but sin committed after grace and knowledge is doubled in guilt, and the last state becomes worse than the first if there is no repentance. For this reason we urge prayer, fasting, and sobriety of mind, and we ask the Father to keep you both from wrongdoing, fear, and lies, and to guard you from impostors and evil people.

We ask all this trusting not in our own worthiness but in Jesus Christ alone, our Mediator and Judge, who has life in Himself and gives life, who alone can forgive sins and make us new. May He grant a radical return to first love for Him, may you freely receive His love and freely pour it out on your son, and may His peace rule in your home. We pray this in the name of Jesus.
