[__ Prayer __] Restrored Family...

[mswright6488]

I posted something similar 3 days ago and got no reply. I am not sure if I did something wrong or not. My question was. Is it always Gods will that a marriage and family be restored? Will fasting and prayer allow God to move over that situation and bring all back into alignment with His will? When both parties made mistakes and knew they should of stayed because God said He would work it all out... when it becomes broken, Is it His will that it be restored again? Marriage is very important to God and think its better to pray for restoration than anything else for that relationship. Please share any experiances you may have also had concerning this matter of fasting and prayer. Thank you all and God bless you more than you could hope for.

Dear Sister mswright6488, good morning and I have no idea why your previous post may have not received a reply; I would have attempted to respond if I had seen it.

I suppose I can only speculate on God's will for our lives in all situations of family separation. My life in particular had suffered many up and downs and prayer restored things I could never have hoped for, and yet there are still things that have not been. I do know when we are walking with our Savior all things work together for our good regardless the appearance (Rom 8:28). Does God keep us from harm when we ask for that which may against us? I think so. Parts of my family remain estranged.

I have never fasted in the manner most suppose correct, and that is to twist God's will in owing me something and answer my prayer such as we read of in Isa 58:4 . . . ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high. But God spoke this as to the correct manner of fasting.
Isa 58:6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
Isa 58:7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?

Blessings in Christ Jesus.

I wrote a post, but then deleted it because you posted in the kids and family sub-forum, and I'm not qualified to post there (celibate former queer w/ no kids, lol).

Wanna re-post somewhere else?

It's very hard to know the right answer in that situation. Is your partner a Christian? Are you in danger by staying? Are you damaging your children by staying in an abusive situation? All these factors need to be considered and prayed about. In a situation where the children are suffering, it may be better to temporarily separate, and from a safe distance, pray for your partner and for the restoration of the marriage. Only you and God know the full facts.

I do know that if we pray for wisdom we will be given it. So pray for wisdom, then think it through and believe that the conclusion you come to will be the right one, because you will have been given wisdom.

I join you in prayer that you will be made wise to know the right path to take, and that God will bless that path.

Thank you GrannyJ....

if the service to the true Lord God overpasses the constraint to be worked for the overall salvation in Him, then the spiritual servant may somehow turn out to be kind of compelled to leave the family, otherwise not
