Update: Thanks for Video Times, "Everything God does lasts forever," Ecclesiastes 3:14; 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 young son in Asia. Thank You for agreement in some small yet important matters. Grant a radical return to my 1st Love, Jesus Christ, Rev 3:19-20, let me freely receive love and freely dump love on my boy. 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, learn to love God, Mark 12:30, and others, Mark 12:31, yet be brought up in righteousness, Eph 6:4, 2 Tim 3:15-16.

Help us learn each others' languages, help me and her both hold our tongues, help me hold nothing against her, but put her in your hands -- Especially the person she was with when she handed the phone to my son and put a computer game on it so I could see him but he would still look at the phone distracted while it made sounds and they were in another room... Thank you I didn't say anything or ask who was there, but it set the call back...

She has boyfriends and is off the rails with inappropriate Social Media though and dating sites though 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 (practice) a lie." Keep the boy from evil, Matt 6:13 & both from evil people and the evil one, Jn 17:15. Use her “pastors” let them see through her 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, Ecclesiastes 7:18, yet with the other, 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, Lk 15:17-20. Please let her help 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, 1 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. Thank You in Jesus’ Name.

We hear the deep ache in your heart, Father, as you lift up both your son and your wife before the throne of grace. Your gratitude for the restored moments with your child shines through, and we join you in praising God for His faithfulness in answering prayer. The peace you’ve experienced in these video calls is a testament to His mercy, and we pray that these times would continue to be sweet, unhurried, and filled with the love of Christ. May your son’s young heart be tender toward You, Lord, and may he grow in the knowledge of Your gracious and compassionate nature (Exodus 34:6). We ask that you would help him love You with all his heart, soul, mind, and strength (Mark 12:30), and that his love for others would reflect the love You’ve poured into his life (Mark 12:31). Father, we pray for wisdom and patience as you raise him in righteousness (Ephesians 6:4, 2 Timothy 3:15-16), even from a distance. May the words spoken between you be seasoned with grace, pointing him always to Jesus.

Yet, we cannot ignore the pain and concern in your words regarding your wife. The Scriptures are clear that marriage is a sacred covenant, a reflection of Christ’s relationship with His church (Ephesians 5:22-33). The actions you describe, her involvement with other men, the inappropriate use of social media and dating sites, are not merely mistakes but sin that grieves the heart of God. Adultery is a serious offense, and the Word warns that those who practice such things without repentance will not inherit the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9-11). We must not sugarcoat this truth, for the sake of her soul and the sanctity of marriage. The Lord is not mocked; whatever a person sows, that they will also reap (Galatians 6:7). The deeds of the flesh, sexual immorality, impurity, and sensuality, are evident, and those who live in them will not inherit the kingdom of God (Galatians 5:19-21). This is not our judgment, but the Word of God, and we must hold fast to it, even as we pray for her redemption.

We rebuke the deception in her life, Lord. The enemy seeks to blind her to the truth, to keep her ensnared in sin, and to harden her heart against You. But You are the God who hedges in with thorns (Hosea 2:6-7), who disrupts the path of the wicked so they cannot find their way. We pray this over her now, let her pursuits be frustrated, let her plans be thwarted, and let her come to the end of herself. May the Holy Spirit convict her of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8), and may she, like the prodigal son, come to her senses (Luke 15:17-20). We ask that You would bring godly people into her life, true pastors and believers who will speak truth in love, confront her sin, and call her to repentance. Let her be surrounded by those who will not enable her rebellion but will stand firm on Your Word, even if it means causing her temporary discomfort.

Father, we also lift up the spiritual protection of your son. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), and we know that children are often targeted by wicked spirits. We pray that you would build a hedge of protection around him (Job 1:10), guarding his mind, heart, and spirit from deception, temptation, and the influences of the evil one (Ephesians 6:12-19). Keep him from the snares of sin (1 Corinthians 8:1), from wrongdoing (2 Corinthians 13:7), and from the lies of the enemy (Zephaniah 3:13). Deliver him from evil and the evil one (Matthew 6:13, John 17:15), and let him grow in the fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10).

We also recognize the pain in your heart as you navigate this season. You have shown remarkable restraint and grace, even in moments of frustration, and we pray that the Lord would strengthen you in this. Do not let bitterness take root in your heart (Hebrews 12:15), but instead, let forgiveness and love flow from you, even as you stand firm on the truth. You are not responsible for her choices, but you are responsible for your own walk with Christ. We pray that you would experience a radical return to your first love, Jesus (Revelation 3:19-20), and that His love would overflow in your life, especially toward your son.

Lord, we ask that You would intervene in this marriage. We know that You hate divorce (Malachi 2:16), and we pray that this union would be restored, not for the sake of convenience or appearances, but for Your glory. If there is to be reconciliation, let it be rooted in repentance, forgiveness, and a mutual commitment to honor You in this covenant. If restoration is not Your will, then we ask that You would give wisdom, strength, and peace to walk through this season with integrity and grace.

We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, for there is no other name by which we can approach You (John 14:6, Acts 4:12). It is only through His blood that we have access to the Father, and it is only by His power that lives are transformed. We stand on the promise that if we confess our sins, You are faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). May that promise be realized in this situation, Lord. May Your will be done, and may Your name be glorified.

We declare over this situation that nothing is too hard for You (Jeremiah 32:17). You are the God who turns hearts (Proverbs 21:1), who breaks chains (Psalm 107:14), and who makes all things new (Revelation 21:5). We trust You to work in ways we cannot see, and we wait expectantly for Your deliverance. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
