Update #1 by David at 5:04 pm on Sun 4/12/2026 🙏 Home Group Leaders' Pastor is Reaching Out to Her in 3-6 hrs... Please ask for mercy and favor on the call... May she answer it with a humble heart and be willing to reconcile, reunite and may I literally be Jesus in front of her and our son, nonstop...
Regardless of Reasons — Since she's not saved... I should have quietly born the provocation as silently as a lamb before it’s shearers, Isa 53:7, Acts 8:32, and had no deceit in my mouth, 1 Pet 2:22-23, rather than “jealousy which is a husband’s fury” Prov 6:34, and “as strong as death,” Song 8:6. If I have a chance to do it over, I would rather "power be perfected in weakness,” and “gladly rejoiced in insults, 2 Cor 12:9-10, for when I am weak, then I am strong.” -- I should have turned the other cheek, Matt 5:39, demonstrating love while we were yet sinners, Rom 5:8...
Please ask God to change her heart, forgive me for keeping a record of wrongs, 1 Cor 13:5. If she was reconciling, who was I to bring it up? 2 Cor 5:19-20... May I truly be granted better wisdom, James 1:5, deep repentance, 2 Cor 7:10, and strengthened by the indwelling of Christ in my heart, and learn and show Christ’s love that passes knowledge, Eph 3:16-17, 18-19, and may He do exceeding abundantly beyond ANYTHING we can ask or IMAGINE… Eph 3:20… I have a strong imagination… Do “great and mighty things I do not know,” Jer 33:3, even, “greater works than the works He did since He has gone to The Father, John 14:12.
Holy Spirit, touch her heart to swallow any pride or illusion of reputation, forgive me for "finding out" and more importantly, for bringing it up (my counselors had advised I didn't bring it up but in a moment of provocation and weakness the reality of my holding a record of wrongs was disclosed), 1 Cor 13:5. We come before the Throne of Grace to receive MERCY and GRACE for HELP in time of NEED, Heb 4:16.
Strengthen me, our Cell-Group Leaders (and members) as well our families to PRAY and INTERCEDE for REPENTANCE, HUMILITY, and RECONCILIATION — WE HAVE A 16 Month Old SON… PLEASE LET the purpose for which the KINDNESS of GOD is intended is to LEAD US to REPENTANCE, Rom 2:4.
Steer her heart (and all our hearts) as You do kings' hearts like channels of water, Prov 21:1. Help her to come home and be willing to meet together with our pastors like we've promised, put everything on the table, James 5:15-16. I GLADLY PREFER she and I reconcile, she finds forgiveness and is truly saved. I don't want to be a stumbling block by jealousy or any offense (laughing my vehicles were clamped lead me to accusing her of selfishness in familial relationships and bringing up [hopefully] past sins). I should have born the reproach in silence, Isa 53:7, Acts 8:32, 1 Pet 2:22-23. Forgive me and grant me another chance and this time upon a firm foundation of The Sermon on The Mount, Matt 7:24, namely, turning the other cheek, Matt 5:39.
💝 Father, in Your kindness, soften my wife and matrimonial love’s heart and renew her mind, Rom 12:2-3… (We COMMITTED to each other before You in the presence of many witnesses as YOU and others, myself included, remember). Please do this for the sake of the mystery of marriage as a portrayal of Christ and His Bride, Eph 5:32, for our children, Ps 73:15, and to declare the works of the Lord, Isa 38:19, Ps 118:16-17. Thank You in Jesus' Name.
Original Prayer Request
🙏 Grace to Fast & Pray, Isa 58:6-12, Intercede, Isa 62:6... 🙇🏻 Nearness to God, James 4:7, Revelation, Eph 1:17 Intimacy, Jn 15:7, Wisdom, Col 1:9, Strength, Love Christ Dwells within, Eph 3:16-20, Direction, Jn 10:27, Rom 8:14, Confirmation, Matt 18:16, 2 Cor 13:1, Love in place of anger over situation, James 1:20 -- Dear Father, thank You for being intimately acquainted with all our ways, Ps 139:3. Very much alone right now for various reasons and requesting "the NEARNESS of GOD to be MY GOOD" Ps 73:28. "Anchor My Soul in the Cleft of The Rock." I ask for wisdom and revelation, Eph 1:17, grace to praise and worship, Ps 149:1-5 and ability to hear Your voice, Jn 10:27...
Bible Study group "doesn't do street preaching, just discipleship" so I have no one to go with me -- the saying is true, "the harvest is plentiful, the laborers are few," Luke 10:2, so I continue to ask for wisdom and direction as obviously this does not align with the Bible that teaches evangelism as a lifestyle as well as Jesus and the Apostles prescribe and demonstrate public proclamation of the gospel, actually gospel -- (euangellion) can be rendered "good announcement" or "good proclamation" as "good news" is heralded abroad, Mark 16:15-16, Luke 24:45-49, Acts 1:8, Acts 2:22-47, Acts 3:12-26, Acts 17:22-34, et cetera... Grace to remain in love but to show whole counsel of God, Acts 20:27...
Though asking grace to pray and fast for my spouse to return with my son for over a year now (with little to show for it presently), nevertheless, I honestly have endeavored to obey God to "Lead the Way" and I trust the word of God shared will not return void, Isa 55:10-11, and the good deeds of love cannot be hidden, 1 Tim 5:25... Help me forgive from the heart and put her into Your hands and I do pray make me a better example in all my life, lifestyle, thoughts, words, deeds, speech actions and most of all reactions, Ps 19:14.
I know the Lord is praying in a similar way as He did for Peter, that though the devil desires to "sift us like wheat, He ever lives to make intercession for us, Heb 7:25, praying my faith won't fail, and afterward I strengthen others, Luke 22:31-32. I ask for the church the gates of hell will not prevail against to resist the devil with me, James 4:7, for nearness to God, James 4:8. Strengthen me with power to know the dimensions of CHRIST'S LOVE and be FILLED with it so He dwells in my heart through faith, Eph 3:16-17, 18-19, 20.
Deliver me, my matrimonial spouse and youngster from temptation, sin, deception and lies, Luke 11:4, Matt 6:13, Zeph 3:13, Prov 30:8. Let the Word GO FORTH, keep us from evil people and the evil one, 2 Thes 3:1-2, 3, John 17:15, and let me see together with the rest of the righteous the day the serpent be choked with a great chain by "an angel" Rev 20:2. Thank You in JESUS' NAME...
P.S. -- Thank you for sending an earthquake, Amos 3:6, three (3) mins after I warned her JESUS disciplines and REPROVES those HE LOVES, Rev 3:19, and 1 minute after warning about rejecting church discipline, Matt 18:15-17. DO whatever it takes -- Shake everything that can be shaken, Hag 2:6, Heb 12:26-27. O Lord Jesus, come quickly, Rev 22:17, Thank You again in Jesus' Name, Amen 2 Cor 1:20.
