Stop praying

From Abednego Lufile

STOP PRAYING FOR YOUR MARRIAGE TO "WORK"

Many people pray for outcomes while God is targeting the root. You ask God to make the marriage work, but God is after repentance. You ask God to bring them home, but God is dealing with what would follow them back through the door.

The problem is not distance. It's disobedience.

God does not restore environments. He is actively judging. He restores hearts first. If a spouse returns without repentance, the same spirits, patterns, and rebellion return with them, and the marriage becomes a cycle of endurance instead of covenant.

Scripture reveals that order in marriage flows from submission to God, not emotional attachment or physical proximity.

Ephesians 5:21: Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

A spouse cannot honor covenant while resisting the God who authored it. That is why prayers focused only on reunion often go unanswered. God is not ignoring you. He is refusing to bypass the process.

Spiritual warfare does not cancel free will. God will convict, expose, and call, but He will not force repentance. If the captivity is not broken at the heart level, bringing them home only relocates the bondage.

Stop praying for relief when God is calling for repentance. Pray that the grip of sin would break. Pray that submission to God would be restored. When the heart aligns, the marriage can follow.
