Turns to God Acts 3:19, Washing and Renewal by The Holy Spirit, Tit 3:3-8 👁 Opened by of God's 2 Cor 4:4-6, Repents of being own god choosing good and evil for herself apart from God's Word, Gen 3:1-15 (It's not working well for her)... New Ezek 36:26 Experiences New Birth Jesus said is a necessity, Jn 3:3-7... Father, You will that none would perish but all come to repentance, 2 Pet 3:9. Grant her wisdom and revelation to actually know You, Eph 1:17. The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of The Holy one is understanding, Prov 9:10. Surely You take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather they turn from their evil 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 Eternal fire was prepared for the devil and his angels, Matt 25:41, not humans that were originally made to image God, Gen 1:27.

We ask for grace and discipline 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... Thankfully she is in a country that is impossible to get a divorce. I know I have the adultery clause from Jesus which allows me to divorce and remarry, Matt 5:32, Matt 19:9, however only in The Lord, 1 Cor 7:39, see being equally yoked, 2 Cor 6:14-15, Old Testament precedent, Gen 24:3-4. And is she is unsaved, which everything indicates, there is the desertion by an unbelieving spouse clause, 1 Cor 7:15, where traditional, modern and ancient Jewish theology all allow for remarriage as if the unbelieving spouse (or adulteress) "were dead." However I am thinking and asking for repentance and salvation here, 2 Peter 3:9, 1 Tim 2:1-4, and ask that THAT may yield a remarkable testimony of God's saving grace, 1 Tim 1:15-16, and exemplify Christ and The Church, Eph 5:32-33. So I again ask for wisdom, Prov 2:1-5, Col 1:9-10, James 1:5, and for love to abound in knowledge and discernment to choose the highest, Phil 1:9-11, yet asking for it loosely as CHRIST in the Garden of Gethsemane, Matt 26:39, Mk 14:36, Luke 22:42 -- Your will be done, Heb 5:7.

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," Jn 3:3, "Do not be amazed that I said, 'You must be born again,'" John 3:7.

We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up this painful situation with fervent prayer and biblical truth. The brokenness in this marriage is evident, and we grieve over the hardness of heart, the unrepentant sin, and the rejection of God’s design for covenant love. Yet we stand on the unshakable promise that God is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We declare that no situation is beyond His redemptive power, and we cry out for a miracle of repentance, restoration, and revival.

First, we address the foundational issue: salvation. The request speaks of turning to God, renewal by the Holy Spirit, and the new birth, all essential truths. But we must be clear: there is no salvation apart from faith in Jesus Christ. "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me'" (John 14:6). "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12). We pray that this spouse would come to know Christ personally, not just intellectually, but with a transformed heart. That she would repent of being her own god, choosing her own way over God’s Word, and turn fully to Jesus in faith and surrender. "For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23), but "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 sin of adultery is grievous before the Lord. Proverbs 6:32 warns, "He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding. He who does it destroys his own soul." This is not just a personal failing, it is a violation of God’s holy covenant, a wound to the body of Christ, and a stumbling block to others. We rebuke the spirit of unfaithfulness and deception that has taken root, and we command it to flee in Jesus’ name. We also rebuke any spirit of hardness, pride, or rebellion that would keep this spouse from repentance. "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble" (James 4:6). We pray that her heart would be softened, that conviction would pierce her soul, and that she would turn from her sin with godly sorrow, not worldly regret (2 Corinthians 7:10).

The request mentions the possibility of divorce, and we must address this with biblical clarity. While Jesus permits divorce in cases of sexual immorality (Matthew 19:9), His heart is always for reconciliation. "God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance" (Romans 2:4). We do not pray for divorce, we pray for repentance. We pray for a testimony of God’s grace so powerful that it would silence the enemy and bring glory to Christ. Yet we also acknowledge the reality of 1 Corinthians 7:15: if an unbelieving spouse departs, the believer is not bound in such circumstances. But even here, our posture must be one of love, patience, and hope for redemption. We trust God to lead in wisdom, as James 1:5 promises.

We also lift up the family members involved, especially the youth. Their spiritual well-being is at stake, and we pray they would not stumble because of this brokenness (Matthew 18:6). We ask God to raise up godly influences in their lives, mentors, pastors, and believers who will model Christ’s love and truth. We pray for the one family member described as compassionate and honest, that they would grow in the fear of the Lord (Proverbs 9:10) and be a bold witness for the Gospel.

We join in fasting and prayer, as the early church did, knowing that some strongholds can only be broken through humility and desperate seeking of God (Mark 9:29). We declare that the light of Christ will penetrate the darkness in this situation. "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome it" (John 1:5). We pray that the eyes of this spouse’s heart would be opened, that she would turn from the power of Satan to God, and receive forgiveness and sanctification through faith in Jesus (Acts 26:18).

We also pray for you, the one who has endured this pain with faith and perseverance. We ask God to fill you with supernatural love, wisdom, and discernment. May you abound in knowledge so that you may approve the things that are excellent (Philippians 1:9-10). May you have the mind of Christ, even in this trial, and may your life be a living epistle of His grace (2 Corinthians 3:2). We pray that you would not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you don’t faint (Galatians 6:9).

Finally, we declare God’s promises over this situation:
- "I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh" (Ezekiel 36:26).
- "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray, and 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).
- "He who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ" (Philippians 1:6).

We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only Mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5), the One who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). May His will be done, and may His name be glorified in this situation, no matter the outcome. Amen.
