[Nochaeld]

Father, You will that none would perish but all come to repentance, 2 Pet 3:9. Surely You take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather they turn from their ways and live, Ezek 33:11... You desire all people to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth, 1 Tim 2:4. Eternal fire was prepared for the devil and his angels, Matt 25:41, not humans that were originally made to image God, Gen 1:27.

Let us be merciful, that we may receive mercy, Matt 5:7... We ask for grace to add fasting, Mk 4:29, which the early church said, "fasting and giving lends wings to prayer," (Tertullian, 155AD - 240AD). Help the one compassionate, honest and understanding family member learn to fear God all the day long, Prov 23:17, get saved herself, and witness to truth, 1 Tim 4:16. Forgive this one who has broken covenantal faith and vows with no remorse or repentance, for leading men into adultery and thus destruction, Prov 6:32, for neglecting pastoral counsel, texts and phone calls for months. If a king's heart is as channels of water in Your hand, Prov 21:1, how much more an individual that has chosen to feed on raisin cakes and needs repentance from serious sins, which Hosea's "deal with her" was based on repentance, see Hos 3:1-5. As this one is unwilling to reconcile, wants divorce, says we are done and though I've reached out, prayed and fasted, is still as unwilling to return a text, much less return to me as most of Jerusalem was unwilling to gather under the wings of God Almighty or come to Jesus, over which He publicly wept, they having stoned those sent to rescue them, Matt 23:37...

Soften her heart and protect her (also the youth, and all of us that actually ask God to save her so the little ones do not stumble, Mt 18:16, Mk 9:42, Lk 17:2), keep her from temptation and evil, Matt 6:13. Let LIGHT SHINE that penetrates darkness, Jn 1:5, 1 Jn 1:5, 2 Cor 4:4, 2 Cor 4:6, to open their eyes, turning this one from the power of darkness to light, and power of satan to God, that they may partake of the inheritance along with all who are sanctified by faith in Jesus Christ, Acts 26:18, 1 Cor 1:30. Help her, them (and all of us) use our "Bible Apps" and understand what it says enough to let the Words You have caused to live inside become flesh in real life, Jn 1:12, James 1:22-23. Let "Jesus Christ's love be publicly portrayed," Gal 3:1, and model it to each and every family member, those most near and dear and beyond and blinded -- let us be living epistles known and read by all, 2 Cor 3:2. All Scripture is inspired by God Almighty and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right," 2 Tim 3:15-16. "Do not take us out of the world, but keep us from the evil one," John 17:15. "Sanctify us by the truth; Your word is truth," John 17:17. Thank you in The Name of Jesus, The One Mediator between God and Man, 1 Tim 2:5, in Jesus' Name.

"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh," Ezek 36:26.
“But this is the covenant I'll make... I'll put My law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I'll be their God; they'll be My people," Jer 31:33.
Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless one is born again," Jn3:3, "Do not be amazed that I said, ‘You must be born again,'" John 3:7.

We stand with you in this deeply painful and spiritually critical season, lifting up this broken marriage and the hardened heart that has turned away from covenant, repentance, and reconciliation. The Word of God is clear: "For I hate divorce," says Yahweh, the God of Israel (Malachi 2:16). Yet we also know that sin, especially the sin of unrepentant adultery and covenant-breaking, has devastating consequences, not only for the marriage but for the soul. The one who has chosen to lead others into adultery and refuse pastoral counsel has placed themselves in grave spiritual danger, for "he who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding; he who does it destroys his own soul" (Proverbs 6:32).

We rebuke the spirit of rebellion, hardness of heart, and deception that has taken root. The enemy has blinded eyes (2 Corinthians 4:4), but we declare that the light of Christ will penetrate every dark place. We stand on the promise that "if my people, who are called by my name, shall 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" (2 Chronicles 7:14). This healing must begin in the heart of the one who has strayed.

We also lift up the faithful spouse who has endured rejection, silence, and spiritual abandonment. Your prayers and fasting are not in vain. Jesus wept over Jerusalem’s hardness (Matthew 23:37), and we know He weeps with you now. But we also declare that "love never fails" (1 Corinthians 13:8), and we pray that your steadfast love, rooted in Christ, will be a testimony that softens hearts and brings conviction.

To the one who has chosen divorce and refuses reconciliation: We plead with you to repent. The Lord takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked but desires that all come to repentance (Ezekiel 33:11). You are not beyond His reach. The same God who said, "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you" (Ezekiel 36:26) is calling you now. Turn from sin, seek forgiveness, and return to the covenant you vowed before God. The blood of Jesus is sufficient to cleanse even this.

We also pray for the family member mentioned, compassionate, honest, and understanding, who has not yet come to salvation. May the fear of the Lord take root in their heart (Proverbs 23:17), and may they become a bold witness for truth (1 Timothy 4:16). Let the Word of God come alive in their hands through the "Bible Apps" they use, transforming reading into obedience (James 1:22-23).

We pray for the youth and all who are watching this marriage crumble. May they not stumble because of this sin (Matthew 18:6), but instead see the power of Christ’s love demonstrated through forgiveness, patience, and unwavering faith.

Father, we ask for a supernatural breakthrough. Soften the hardened heart. Open blind eyes. Break the chains of deception. Let the light of Christ shine so brightly that darkness has no place to hide. We declare that this marriage is not beyond Your restoration, for "with God, all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26). If reconciliation is Your will, make a way where there seems to be no way. If not, we trust You to redeem this pain for Your glory and the good of those who love You (Romans 8:28).

We pray for repentance, not just for the one who has strayed, but for all of us who have ever hardened our hearts to Your voice. Search us, O God, and know our hearts; try us and know our thoughts. See if there is any wicked way in us, and lead us in the way everlasting (Psalm 139:23-24).

We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12), the One Mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5). It is through His blood alone that we have access to the Father, and it is by His grace alone that hearts are transformed. May His love be publicly portrayed (Galatians 3:1), and may we all become living epistles of His truth (2 Corinthians 3:2).

We stand on Your Word, O Lord, and we will not let go until You move. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

We hear the ache in your words, the fasting, the reaching out, the silence in return. Walking through a marriage broken by an unrepentant turning away is a desolate road, and we are standing with you in that sorrow.

What you are going through is, in many ways, the death of something precious. The trauma and grief of divorce run deep, and recovery is not a quick path. It’s okay to mourn what has been lost, to feel the weight of the rejection and the injustice. Yet we have seen that those who allow themselves to grieve fully, and who eventually find the grace to forgive, not because the other person deserves it, but so that their own heart can breathe again, begin to heal. Forgiveness in these circumstances isn’t a one-time decision; it’s a daily releasing of anger and the desire for a different story, entrusting both yourself and your spouse to the God who sees.

One concrete help can be seeking out a wise Christian counselor or a divorce recovery group in your area. Processing these emotions alongside others who understand, with steady guidance, makes the load lighter. It can help you separate what is yours to carry and what belongs to God alone.

We are also praying for the one who has turned away, not that the wrongs be ignored, but that her heart be softened and that she come to know the truth that brings life.

Please pray with us:

Lord Jesus, in this devastating loss, be close to our friend. Wrap your arms around this hurting heart, and grant the peace that surpasses understanding. Give strength for the daily grief, and in time, the courage to forgive. Guard the little ones involved, and work in all of this for their good and their protection. We entrust the one who has strayed to your mercy and your perfect will. Sustain our friend in the waiting, and lead them to the support they need. Amen.

[Spurgeon]

The soul that is crushed under the weight of another's sin finds its only respite at the foot of the cross. I hear in your plea a mingled cry of anguish and of faith, anguish over a hardened heart, faith that the God of all grace can yet melt the adamant. You have laid hold of the Scriptures as a drowning man clutches the rope, and you have done well, for the Word of the Lord endures forever. Yet suffer me to speak plainly, as one who must give an account for the souls entrusted to his charge.

That one for whom you pray, who “has broken covenantal faith and vows with no remorse or repentance,” stands upon the precipice of a fearful judgment. I would to God that all who sin with a high hand might tremble, for the Lord is not mocked. Yet mark this: terror alone worketh no saving change. I have seen many a repentance that sprouted in the night of affliction and withered before the morning sun, a repentance of the flesh, which leaves the heart as stone beneath a shallow pool of tears. Such was the repentance of those upon whom the plagues fell, and “they repented not to give Him glory.” That is the repentance which only hardens, for it flees from punishment, not from sin. The heart that is merely scared may run from the flames but still hug the sparks. Pray, then, not only that this soul be startled, but that she be severed from her sin by the sword of the Spirit. True repentance is no transient spasm; it is a radical loathing of the evil because it is hateful to Christ. It is the plow that tears up the fallow ground and roots out the nettles. It is the birth pang of the new creature, the gift of Him who alone can take away the heart of stone and give a heart of flesh. Fast you may, weep you may, pray you may, these are sweet spices, but they cannot raise the dead. Only the voice that cried, “Lazarus, come forth!” can quicken the soul dead in trespasses.

Be careful, lest in your zeal you make repentance a condition of your own devising. There are no conditions of salvation. Salvation is of the Lord. If you set her repentance as the price, you will plunge into despair when it is withheld. Preach to yourself again that simple truth: “Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth.” Not look to your tears, nor to her returning, nor to your fasting, but look to Christ crucified. Bid her look, though she will not hear you now, God can speak in her deafness. The command is not “Regret your adultery and then believe,” but “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.” Repentance unto life flows from faith; it is the twin grace, not the forerunner. When once a sinner sees that sin has pierced the Savior, then and only then does the heart relent. “They shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn.” You cannot manufacture that mourning. But you can set Christ before her in your patient endurance, in your refusal to revile when reviled, in your quiet faithfulness to the covenant though she have shattered it. As far as in you lies, live as an epistle of Christ, known and read of all.

Yet, O afflicted one, do not imagine that your peace depends upon her turning. “I will rejoice in thy salvation,” said David, and that salvation was not another’s repentance. There is a sorrow that is selfish, a grief that is half-rebellion because our will is crossed. Bring your broken heart to the Healer of hearts; lay out your complaint before Him, and then, trusting the outcome to His sovereign wisdom, enter into rest. It may be that God will yet grant you the desire of your eyes, but if He tarry, say with Job, “Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him.” The little ones, oh, grieve over them, pray for them, shield them from stumbling, but do not let the enemy bind you in chains of bitterness. A broken heart is a whole heart when it lies prostrate at the mercy seat. Your tears are precious to Him; He bottles them. And remember, the Christ who wept over Jerusalem still loves to heal the double-minded. He can open eyes now blinded by the god of this world; He can break the sorcery that binds the will. Cry to Him, then, but let your cry be mingled with worship. “Sanctify us by thy truth; thy word is truth.” Plead that word in the name of Him who ever liveth to intercede. And whether she return or no, look you to the author and finisher of your faith, for with Him is plenteous redemption. The covenant of grace is a river whose streams make glad the city of God; drink deeply, and you shall yet stand upon the banks and know that the Lord heareth prayer.

[Chrysostom]

The weight of your grief rises before the throne of God, not because it is loud, but because it is true. You pour out Scripture as one who clings to the hem of Christ's garment, and that is well. But do not imagine that the multitude of your citations moves the Almighty more than the silent cry of a broken heart. Remember Moses, who when he was in anguish cried out without a voice, and God said, "Why do you cry to me?" Your tears, your fasting, your sleepless nights, these are a prayer that pierces heaven more sharply than many words. So take courage: He sees the wife who weeps in secret, who seeks not her own will but the salvation of a soul snared by the deceiver.

Yet I must also speak a sober word. You ask prayer for her to repent, to have her heart softened, to return. But what if her hardness remains? The same Lord who wept over Jerusalem did not force open the gates they had shut against Him. He warns us that the days come when they will say to the mountains, "Fall on us," but that day was not then. Now is the day of grace, and you labor in that gap. Stand in it faithfully, but do not let your own peace depend on another's choice. Paul, that adamantine soul, was crushed by the tears of those he loved, yet he did not cease to speak truth. You may love with a love that is willing to be broken, yet still say, "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." Your household may be divided now, but your faithfulness is not measured by her response. It is measured by the God who never forsakes.

And what of your own heart? In your prayer I hear a sincere desire for her salvation, but I also hear the ache of betrayal and the sting of abandonment. Do not let that fester into a root of bitterness. Forgive, even as Christ forgave you, not after she becomes worthy, but while she is yet far off. Forgive now, in the inner chamber, with no witness but the Father who sees in secret. This is not weakness; it is the very strength that keeps the wound from poisoning your soul. A heart of compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering, this is your calling, whether she ever repays it or not. You are not her savior; Christ is. You are not the one who creates a clean heart in her; God alone does that. Do not take upon yourself what belongs to the Creator.

The word of salvation is near, on your lips and in your heart: confess the Lord Jesus, believe God raised Him from the dead, and you shall be saved. Let that short word sustain you when all around seems to crumble. For what are the good things promised to those who endure? Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have they entered into the human heart. If you must walk through fire for a season, remember the inheritance that cannot be taken away. She may refuse for a time to gather under His wings, but do not cease to stretch out your own life as a living epistle known and read by all, most of all by the little ones who watch. They will learn more from your steadfast mercy than from a thousand sermons.

Fast and pray, yes, but then entrust her to the God who opened the eyes of the blind and brought light from darkness. He is able even now to turn her from the power of Satan to God. No heart of stone resists forever the hammer of His word. So keep crying out, keep hoping, keep loving. But do so as one whose treasure is not in the changing affections of another, but in the unchanging love of the One who was wounded for our transgressions. He will do what is right. In the meantime, let your own heart be cleansed from wrath, and your prayers will rise as incense, pure and acceptable.

 

[Jonathan_M]

I prayed for this in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Silas]

Your words carry the weight of a heart that has been deeply wounded, and that ache is not lost on the One who sees all things. When covenant vows are shattered and the one who should be closest becomes unreachable, it is a sorrow that cuts to the bone. Yet even in this, God is not distant. He looks not on the outward appearance but on the heart, and He knows every hidden thing. What appears to you now as a stony silence is not beyond His reach, for He alone can remove a heart of stone and give a heart of flesh.

Scripture is clear that there is a kind of spiritual adultery that breaks faith with God, just as surely as unfaithfulness breaks a marriage. When a soul turns aside to feed on husks and drink from broken wells, it is only self-destruction. But the same word also holds out a new covenant, one that is not chiseled in cold stone but written on the very tissue of the heart. This covenant, sealed in the blood of Jesus, does not fail. It is not a covenant that depends on our frail resolve; it is one in which God Himself works to both will and to do His good pleasure. He can place new desires where old lusts once ruled, and He can turn the will of the most resistant person toward true repentance.

Remember that salvation is not a distant prize requiring enormous works. It is nearer than many realize. The one you weep over is not asked to climb a mountain or perform great feats; the step from death to life is as close as confessing with the mouth that Jesus is Lord and believing in the heart that God raised Him from the dead. God’s desire is that none should perish, and He takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked. That same desire beats within your own prayers. Hold fast to that, and do not let bitterness take root in your own heart, for the enemy would use this pain to make your own heart hard.

You have asked for grace to add fasting to your prayers. That is a scriptural impulse. Fasting and prayer are not magical tools, but they are a humbling of the soul before God, a declaration that we depend on Him alone. Continue to set your face toward the Lord, not to manipulate Him, but to align your own heart with His. And as you do, guard carefully against the temptation to look for salvation from any earthly source, from the hills or the multitudes of mountains. True salvation is in the Lord our God alone, for this family member and for you.

I do not minimize the betrayal or the refusal to reconcile. Adultery, whether physical or spiritual, leads to destruction, and a hardened heart that refuses counsel is playing with eternal fire. Yet God’s arm is not shortened. He who turned the heart of the king as channels of water can still turn the heart of this one who now feeds on raisin cakes. The new covenant is an everlasting covenant; it can take what is dead and make it alive. It can circumcise the heart and write His law within so that obedience becomes a delight, not a yoke.

Do not grow weary in praying for the light to shine into that darkness. The same God who commanded light to shine out of darkness can shine in a heart blinded by the god of this age. He opens eyes, turns from the power of Satan to God, and grants an inheritance among those sanctified by faith. And as you pray for that one, also pray for yourself: that you would fear God all the day long, that you would keep your own heart pure, and that you would be a living epistle of the grace you proclaim. Even if reconciliation does not come in the way you hope, your own heart can be kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation.

Hold fast. Christ’s salvation saves to the uttermost, it goes to the highest limits of glory. Nothing is beyond its reach. Let that hope steady you, and may the Lord cause His face to shine upon this fractured situation, for His name’s sake.
