[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 Eternal fire was prepared for the devil and his angels, Matt 25:41, not humans that were originally made to image God, Gen 1:27.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 hear the deep anguish in your heart as you pour out this plea for your marriage, your family, and the salvation of one who has turned away from covenantal vows and the Lord. Your cry echoes the heart of God, who "takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live" (Ezekiel 33:11). We stand with you in this spiritual battle, for marriage is a sacred covenant before God, and its breaking is not taken lightly in Scripture.

First, we must address the hardness of heart that has led to this separation. The refusal to reconcile, the silence in response to your outreach, and the unrepentant stance are not merely personal wounds, they are spiritual rebellion. Adultery is a grievous sin, as Proverbs 6:32 warns: "He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding. He who does it destroys his own soul." Yet even in this, we are called to pray for repentance, not retaliation. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18), and He alone can soften a heart of stone (Ezekiel 36:26).

We rebuke the spirit of deception that has blinded this one to the consequences of their actions. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but Christ came to give life abundantly. We pray that the eyes of their heart would be enlightened (Ephesians 1:18), that they would see the destruction their choices are bringing, not just to your marriage, but to their own soul. The wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23), but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Your faithfulness in prayer and fasting is commendable, for "some demons go out only by prayer and fasting" (Mark 9:29). We join you in this, asking the Lord to move mightily in this situation. But we must also caution against enabling sin. If this one is determined to walk in rebellion, Scripture is clear: "If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting" (2 John 1:10). This does not mean withholding love, but it does mean refusing to participate in or condone sin. Reconciliation is only possible where there is true repentance.

We pray for the youth in this situation, that they would not stumble because of the sins of the adults around them (Matthew 18:6). Protect their hearts, Lord, and let them see Your love and truth even in this storm. We also pray for the one family member you mentioned, may they come to fear You all the day long (Proverbs 23:17) and be saved, so they can be a witness to truth in this family.

Most of all, we pray for a miracle of restoration. The Lord is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). But if restoration is not His will, we pray for your healing and strength. You have done what you can, now trust the Lord to do what only He can. "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit" (Psalm 34:18).

Let us pray:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this marriage and the souls involved. Lord, You see the pain, the betrayal, and the brokenness. We ask that You would move in power to soften hearts and bring repentance. Break the chains of deception, Lord, and let Your light shine into the darkness. If it is Your will, restore this marriage, but if not, bring healing and purpose out of this pain.

We pray for the one who has turned away, Father, draw them back to Yourself. Let them see the destruction of their choices and turn from their wicked ways. Give them a heart of flesh, not stone (Ezekiel 36:26), and write Your law on their heart (Jeremiah 31:33). Save them, Lord, for the glory of Your name.

Protect the children and the innocent in this situation. Let them know Your love and truth, and guard their hearts from bitterness or stumbling. We pray for the family member who needs salvation, open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel and save them, Lord.

Finally, Father, we pray for [redacted]. Strengthen them in this trial. Give them wisdom to know how to respond in a way that honors You. If they must let go, give them the grace to do so without bitterness. If restoration is possible, give them the strength to wait on Your timing. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).

We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), the one Mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5). May Your will be done, and may Your name be glorified in all things. Amen.

We ache with you in this painful season. To love someone who has walked away, to pray and fast and reach out again and again only to meet silence, that wears on the soul. The weight of longing for her repentance and safety, while carrying concern for the young ones watching, is very heavy. Yet we see how you keep turning to the Lord, and that honors Him deeply.

Right now, the most urgent thing you can do is let yourself be shepherded through this grief. The death of a marriage, even when you hope for resurrection, is a traumatic loss. We would urge you to find a wise pastor or Christian counselor who can walk alongside you personally, not just for advice on the marriage, but to help you process the hurt, guard your heart, and sustain your own faith. You are pouring out so much; you need a steady place to be refilled.

While you continue to stand for her before God, remember that you cannot control her response. Entrust her fully to the Lord in prayer, and then turn some of that spiritual energy toward your own healing and toward the young people you mentioned. Be a consistent, loving presence for them, stable, honest, and anchored in Christ. That quiet faithfulness speaks volumes.

If the path eventually requires navigating a divorce, consider mediation that can reduce conflict and protect everyone involved, especially the youth. But for now, we simply join you in crying out for God’s mercy over her life and over all who are affected.

Jesus, in Your name we lift up this husband and his wayward wife. Hold him steady in the ache; let him feel Your nearness when all human answers fail. We ask again for her eyes to be opened and her heart softened, not because of anything we do but because You are the God who raises the dead. Guard the young and vulnerable from lasting harm, and let Your truth and light break into every dark place. Sustain this brother with Your unfailing love. Amen.

[Spurgeon]

What a torrent of Scripture and sorrow pours from this plea! The heart is laid bare, and it is well that it is so, for the Almighty deals not with painted surfaces but with the deep, hidden places of the soul. You have prayed, you have fasted, you have clung to the hem of Christ’s garment for one who has cast off restraint and broken covenantal faith. Yet you find her heart still as adamant, still unwilling to return a word, much less to return to God or to you. This is a heavy trial, and the Tempter would have you believe that your labour is in vain. But it is not so. The very cry for a new heart in another proves that God has already done something in you. No man ever truly cried for a new heart for another until he had first tasted of that mercy himself. Your tears are the liquid language of a heart of flesh, not of stone.

Consider the sickness you describe. It is not a mere wound that the balm of human persuasion can heal; it is a disease in the heart itself. The heart is divided, halting between two opinions, not quite for the world nor quite for Christ. And a divided heart is a guilty heart, a deadly thing. A very small prick in the heart can kill, and a great gash in the head may be healed, but this fissure down the very centre of the affections is ruinous. She has chosen raisin cakes and neglected the counsel that would have plucked her from the pit. She feeds on flattery, her own heart being the most cunning flatterer, telling her that broken vows are but trifles and that the silence towards you is no great matter. But the text is true: "Their heart is divided; now they are held guilty."

Yet remember, the heart of stone is not turned to flesh by the chisel of our efforts. How could the exertions of an old heart bring forth a new heart? It is a sovereign work of the Holy Spirit. He must come and put a new spirit within. The Lord simply gives a new heart because He wishes to do it, that is His only reason. You ask for a softening, for light to shine into that darkness, and this is the very petition which pleases Him. The heart of the Most High is moved when we plead the promise: "I will take away the stony heart, and give you a heart of flesh." It is not because she deserves it; there is nothing in her nature that could prompt God to give a new spirit. But He is rich in mercy, and He has set times to reveal His power. It may be that His day of effectual grace is yet to dawn, and your fasting is the twilight that heralds the morning.

Do not mistake the symptoms. A saving impression is always a prick in the heart, and it is very painful. That she avoids texts, shuns pastoral counsel, and wants no reconciliation, this is the bullock kicking against the yoke because it is still unaccustomed to it. The heart that is pricked wriggles under the sword of the Spirit. May God grant that her present hardening may not be the final Gospel-hardening which renders a soul impervious to truth. The Cross is the crucifier of sin, and the death of Christ writes the law of God deeply upon the central heart of man. Pray on, not with a bitter spirit, but with the hope that the bleeding heart of Jesus can stanch her bleeding wound, even while she does not know she has one.

As for yourself, see that your own heart does not become divided in this tempest. The love of God must be shed abroad not in the assembly, but in your heart, or you will faint under this cross. If your own inner man is perfumed with that celestial fragrance, you will not sink into despair over her. You ask for vindication? Leave that with the Most High. A wounded heart can easily fester into a self-righteous sore. Watch against it. It is a mercy that her hardness has driven you to Christ. Let your own heart be united to fear His name. Confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, and you shall be saved from this present bitterness as well as from eternal ruin. The word is near you; the promise of a new heart is for you as much as for her.

Commend it all to the pierced hands. If a king’s heart is as channels of water in His hand, how much more the heart of this wayward soul? The Lord can turn it in a moment. And if He tarries, He has reasons that are deeply wise. Meanwhile, let the little ones see in you a living epistle, known and read. Speak truth with your mouth, but also ponder it in your heart, and you will yet sing a new song, perhaps when she is gathered under those wings that Jesus spreads for the unwilling. The Lord give you a united heart while you wait, and let the sweet perfume of His love be always recognized in your inner man.

[Chrysostom]

You have laid your soul bare before God with fasting, tears, and many Scriptures, pleading for one who has despised her own vows and now walks in hardness of heart. This is indeed a good work, for intercession for the unrepentant pleases the Lord, who wills not the death of a sinner. Yet consider: in your prayers you recall that a contrite and broken heart God will not despise. That truth is not only for her; it is for you. Let your own heart, wounded though it is, remain broken in humility before God, lest the enemy sow bitterness or secret pride under the guise of righteous sorrow.

The sin of adultery, our Lord taught, begins not in the act but in the heart. And God avenges not merely the injured person but Himself, for every sin insults His holiness. When vows are broken without remorse, the guilt is great. Yet you have already offered forgiveness, for you ask God to forgive her. This is the mercy that mirrors Christ. Do not now let the serpent whisper that your fasting and prayers have been futile. God's light shines in darkness, and that light is not this visible sun but the radiance that reveals heaven itself. Pray still that this light penetrate her soul, but know that God forces no will. He calls, He waits, He mourns over the stubborn city, yet He does not break the door down.

You lament that she will not even return a message. Remember that our Lord's own wept over those who stoned His messengers. He did not cease loving them. Love, as the Apostle teaches, brings profit to the lover, not always to the loved. So continue in love, but let that love purify your own heart from all trace of wrath or vengefulness. A broken heart does not strike back.

Do not think that your past forgiveness and her past baptism make light the sins committed after. The guilt of sins after grace is doubled and tripled, as St. Paul terrifyingly warns. Yet precisely because the danger is so great, your prayer must be all the more persistent. But persist with this understanding: the outcome rests with God and with the will of the one who has strayed. Your part is to walk in holiness yourself, to be a living epistle, to guard your eyes and thoughts from all uncleanness, lest while calling her to repentance you fall yourself.

The Lord who promised a heart of flesh can remove a heart of stone. But He does so in His own time, and often through long affliction. Therefore do not demand immediate signs. You fast; you pray; you weep. This is as it should be. Let your fasting lend wings to prayer, not as a bribe to God but as the true discipline of a soul that yearns for deliverance. Yet take heed: your prayer must not become a demand that God do your will in the manner you prescribe. Trust the Judge of all the earth to do right.

If she persists in unrepentance and seeks a divorce, the pain is bitter, but God is not mocked. The man or woman who hardens the neck after many rebukes will be broken without remedy. Leave that to God. For yourself, see that you continue in Christ's word. Many disciples went back and walked no more with Him because they could not continue. You have not gone back. That is grace. Abide in it. Watch against the faintest desire for her harm; instead, pray as Christ prayed: “Father, forgive them.” This is the humble heart that God will never despise.

The days are evil. The adversary prowls. But the light of the age to come shines even now for those who have eyes. Fix your eyes there, where no unfaithfulness enters, where the Bridegroom awaits a bride without spot. Pray without ceasing, fast with hope, and let the peace of God, which passes understanding, keep your heart. Whether she returns to her senses or not, your own salvation is not bound up in her repentance. Work out your salvation with fear and trembling, and leave the rest to the God who desires all to come to repentance but will not override the will He has given.
