Prayer of a Wife Who Has an Evil Husband

At long last!

Prayers this don’t make it into today’s prayer books.  Now we figure that if we have an evil husband, God wants us to divorce them.  Just if you’re attracted to the wrong sex, that means that God really has decided that same-sex marriage pleases Him.

It’s so common for people to think this way that it sounds incredibly rude and heartless to say: Actually, no, God doesn’t want you to divorce your husband just because he’s evil and you’re unhappy.  The reason we think God is always nice and compassionate in such a way that we’re always given whatever we want?

Because we are in an idolatrous society, and we have turned to them instead of them turning to us.  We also have become idolaters.

Even though God loves the fools who live in our society, they are still fools.  It is not loving to tell fools that they aren’t fools.

  You’re a fool if you think God wants you to get a divorce from your husband (or wife) just because they’re evil.  He doesn’t want you to do that.

  He wants you to pray for them and trust Him to help you instead of turning to the false gods of our society that cry out against the truth as “not compassionate.”

God is compassionate: “…Your dear Son Himself has given, and extends His gracious call; to His supper leads us all.  And to this our soul’s salvation, witnesses Your Spirit, Lord/ In Your Sacraments and Word.

/  There He sends true consolation/ Giving us the gift of faith/ That we fear not hell nor death.

”  “True consolation,” see; not the consoling sappy lies by which the dragon lulls you to hell, but the consolation of the Spirit who proclaims that Christ’s propitiatory death under God’s wrath is for sinners with no merit–including you.

But here is the prayer:

157. Prayer of a Wife with an Evil Husband

–Johann Quirsfeld, Archdeacon at Pirna (1642-1686).  from his “Geistlicher Myrrhengarten”–“Spiritual Myrrh Garden.”

(Myrrh was an ointment which helped cure wounds; it was also used to preserve and embalm the dead.  So the book is a ‘spiritual medicinal garden’ so to speak.)

Oh merciful God and Father, all-knowing Lord, You know my misery better than I can express it in words or lamenting or complaints.  My spouse, whom at one time You gave to me, is sadly living in an indefensible way, and with him I carry a heavy cross in my house almost every day.

  It is so severe that I don’t know what I should do in such a wretched and sad state of affairs, because Satan, hounding me, makes the holy estate of marriage with my wayward husband exceedingly bitter.

  We cannot separate from one another, because we were joined by you in such a way that nothing but death alone can separate us. 

Now I turn myself to you, Lord my God.  Without Your counsel and will, and without Your permission, nothing can happen.  So I must consider this bad behavior of my spouse a cross made specially for me, for I admit that in other ways before You I have certainly been to blame.  But still give me patience towards it.

  Assist me to bear it with your fatherly hand, rich in love.  Let us not forever live with each other in such disgust, but instead rule the heart of my spouse, that he would become different, and offer himself up as a pious Christian wife is entitled to expect and as is due her.

  Govern the tormenting marriage-demon and other wicked mouths, through which my spouse would often be ensnared.  Plant upright fear of God in his heart, and also honest, wholehearted love toward me, that by it we may from now on live in peace and unity with one another.

  Grant us so to continue in our household affairs and daily bread, that we walk as obedient children according to Your commandments, and that we might be and remain the blessed of the Lord, here in time, and one day, there in eternity.  Amen.

7 Good Bible Verses To Help Cope With a Divorce

Prayer Of A Husband Hurt Through Divorce

While divorce is shockingly prevalent in our generation—the pain, discouragement, and abandonment of it still hurts. Many people who are divorced didn’t plan for it or even expect it to ever come to their marriage.

In spite of the fact that God hates divorce, it happened in Moses’ day, Jesus’ day, and our day as well. As believers you must fall into the arms of Jesus Christ through the comfort of His word to cope with a divorce.

Allow these 7 good Bible verses to speak to your heart during this difficult season:

There is hope

“Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God” (Psalm 42:5). 

One of the first and most dominant emotions to struggle with in a divorce is utter hopelessness. You’ve made a covenant with God and your spouse in the midst of family and friends to never part—and yet here you are.

Discouragement is Satan’s main weapon against believers in this difficult time. However, there is hope and grace in Christ to make it through the pain of divorce.

Put your hope in God to take care of you spiritually, emotionally, and physically.

… in Christ all things are possible and you can move past divorce towards God’s purpose for your life.

There is peace

“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you” (Isaiah 26:3). 

In the chaos and calamity of divorce, peace will often feel far away. Yet by trusting in the Lord rather than how you feel brings peace in the midst of stormy days.

When you wake up every day with your mind set on God’s goodness—He will get you through it with His perfect peace.

It’s not a one stop shop with peace, it’s an ongoing process of learning to trust in God’s faithfulness through unknown territories of life.

There is joy

“For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning” (Psalm 30:5). 

It seems hard to believe that there can be joy through this devastating experience. Yet the Lord knows how to bring joy alive in your heart during this time.

Your strength to get through this divorce will be rooted in the joy that comes from the Holy Spirit.

While you can’t take away the experience and disappointment of a divorce, through Christ the sting of it will eventually diminish in His presence of joy.

There is comfort

“My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life” (Psalm 119:50). 

In a divorce situation, loneliness can creep into your heart and mind.

Yet it is possible to be alone and not lonely for those who seek their comfort from the Lord and not the empty promises of the world.

The Lord has made many promises to those who love Him and He keeps every last one of them. Search for His promises in the Bible and cling to them all day and night to bring you the comfort you desire.

There is provision

“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). 

For many people divorce can bring financial disaster especially if you weren’t the breadwinner of the family. You could find yourself suddenly having to make major financial decisions in a short period of time.

These are days of seeking wisdom from God to lead you to the right people to help give direction with your finances and finding sustainable income.

The Lord promises to meet all your needs and to not forsake you nor your family.

There is justice

“For we know him who said, ‘It is mine to avenge; I will repay,’ and again, ‘The Lord will judge his people.’ It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God” (Hebrews 10:30-31). 

There can be great pain for those whose divorce stemmed adultery. It’s difficult enough to figure out the needs of your family and your own personal needs; but to also struggle with the betrayal can be overwhelming.

Yet if you intend to seek revenge instead of trusting God to repay—you will only end up a bitter and disappointed person.

This is a time of casting all your cares on God in order to gain strength so you can forgive the adulterer.

There is a future

“‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future’” (Jeremiah 29:11). 

Divorce will feel it’s the end of the world. In many ways, it is the end of a relationship and everything that was promised in it. Yet the Lord is above your divorce and is able to make all grace abound towards you to move forward in faith. Your future isn’t limited or restricted because of a divorce; rather through Christ you have a calling and purpose to fulfill in spite of it.

Coping in Christ

You may feel that you will never get through this divorce. However, in Christ all things are possible and you can move past it towards God’s purpose for your life.

The Lord will never leave nor forsake you in the season of suffering. He will make His presence known to you when you seek after Him with all your heart, soul, and mind.

You will move beyond just coping and begin to live victoriously in Christ.

The Power of a Praying Husband

Prayer Of A Husband Hurt Through Divorce

“Your wife is an automobile.” That appears to be a strange statement to make, isn’t it? Yes, it is… but it’s also true. Your wife could be a person ( some automobiles) who requires high maintenance. Or perhaps she’s a low maintenance type of marriage partner.

She could be “efficient” and “dependable” or costly—a wife who needs a special amount of attention. But as author Stormie Omartian says, “She needs fuel to make her run smoothly” regardless. Your wife’s spirit needs “gas in her car.

” That’s where you come in as a praying husband.

She could be full right now with the “daily infilling of the Holy Spirit” and with infusions of your love. Or she could be running on empty, and need an extra dose of God’s infilling and your help. No matter what… as her husband, your wife needs you as her marriage partner to pray for her and to love her as God would have you. She needs for you to be her praying husband

To better understand what Stormie Omartian means when she compares your wife to an automobile, plus additional advice she has for you as a praying husband, please read:

• THE POWER OF A PRAYERFUL HUSBAND

You, as a Praying Husband

Stormie Omartian makes another comparison, as it pertains to you as her praying husband. She equates your marriage to be much a football game.

“You and your wife are a team.

And she wants the security of knowing that when things are tough and down to the wire—even when the enemy is already celebrating your demise and all appears to be lost—you have the faith to believe that up to the very last second everything can turn around.

She needs the assurance you have a play in your pocket that can take you down the field with the ball for a possible winning score. She wants you to trust that with God nothing is impossible. And because of that you will never give up hoping for the impossible to happen.”

To learn more, here’s another article to read. It has the same title but different content, which is important to read:

• THE POWER OF A PRAYERFUL HUSBAND

To help you further as a praying husband

The following is something that Stormie’s husband Michael Omartian has written on a husband praying for his wife. After that, you will find a link to a prayer outline, written by “Huz.” Plus, you will find a link to another written prayer, which you can use as an outline as a praying husband, praying on behalf of your wife.

Michael Omartian writes:

“Prayer requires forgetting your own agenda and letting God set the agenda. Many times prayer would focus my attention away from the need to see Stormie change, and become more accommodating to me, to instead change me to be more accommodating to her.

That’s scary stuff for the ego! But through prayer we have been able to make changes and work things out. Now we have been married for 28 years and I can’t imagine anyone else as my mate. But our problems only work themselves out when she and I join with God to solve them.

That threefold cord will not be easily broken.”

Below is a prayer that Michael has used, that you can too, joined with God in:

PRAYER POWER

“Lord, I pray that You would establish in me and (wife’s name) bonds of love that cannot be broken. Show me how to love my wife in an ever-deepening way that she can clearly perceive. May we have mutual respect and admiration for each other so that we become and remain one another’s greatest friend, champion, and unwavering support.

“Where love has been diminished, lost, destroyed, or buried under hurt and disappointment, put it back in our hearts. Give us strength to hold on to the good in our marriage. Help us even in those times when one of us doesn’t feel love.

“Enable my wife and me to forgive each other quickly and completely. Specifically I lift up to You (name any area where forgiveness is needed). Help us to ‘be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving,’ the way You are to us (Ephesians 4:32).

“Teach us to overlook the faults and weaknesses of the other. Give us a sense of humor, especially as we deal with the hard issues of life.

“Unite us in faith, beliefs, standards of morality, and mutual trust. Help us to be of the same mind, to move together in harmony, and to quickly come to mutual agreements about our finances, our children, how we spend our time, and any other decisions that need to be made.

Also:

“Where we are in disagreement and this has caused strife, I pray You would draw us together on the issues. Adjust our perspectives to align with Yours. Make our communication open and honest so that we avoid misunderstandings.

“May we have the grace to be tolerant of each other’s faults and, at the same time, have the willingness to change. I pray that we will not live two separate lives, but will instead walk together as a team. Remind us to take time for one another so that our marriage will be a source of happiness, peace, and joy for us both.

“Lord, I pray that You would protect our marriage from anything that would destroy it. Take our lives anyone who would come between us or tempt us. Help us to immediately recognize and resist temptation when it presents itself.

Furthermore:

“I pray that no other relationship either of us have, or have had in the past, will rob us of anything in our relationship now. Sever all unholy ties in both of our lives.

May there never be any adultery or divorce in our future to destroy what You, Lord, have put together. Help because it has developed a non-working part.

I pray that we will turn to You—the Designer—to fix it and get it operating the way it was intended.

“Teach us to seek each other’s well-being first, as You have commended in Your Word (1 Corinthians 10:24). We want to keep You at the center of our marriage and not expect from each other what only You can give.

“Where either of us have unrealistic expectations of the other, open our eyes to see it. May we never waver in our commitment and devotion to You and to one another, so that this marriage will become all You designed it to be.”

This prayer is found in the book, The Power of a Praying® Husband, written by Stormie Omartian and Michael Omartian. There are additional contributors such as Neil Anderson, Steven Curtis Chapman, Jack Hayford and others.

It is published by Harvest House. “In 20 short, easy-to-read chapters, Stormie Omartian shares how you can intercede for your wife” in prayer.

You’ll also receive “advice and personal stories from well-know Christian men, prayer ideas and words from Scripture.”

Jill Tavelman With Her Unsuccessful Married Life That Ended With A Costly Divorce; Revealed About Being Cheated On By Husband

Prayer Of A Husband Hurt Through Divorce

Divorces are always hard but it becomes even harder when divorce alimony is required to be given, and for instance, there is the divorce of Robert Herjavec with Diana Plese which cost him about $263 million. However, Jill Tavelman has a different side of her married life. Jill Tavelman did have a costly divorce. Moreover, her husband cheated on her.

Jill Tavelman's Married Life:

Jill Tavelman was married to her husband, Genesis frontman  Phil Collins in 1984. The couple welcomed their daughter, Lilly Collins on March 18, 1989, who grew up to become an actress.

Multiple Boyfriends:- Rosalyn Gold-Onwude Married & Husband | Multiple Dating, Found Soulmate?

Jill was the second wife to Phil as he was previously married to Andrea Bertorelli but unfortunately, couldn’t be the last. The couple split in 1996, 12 years after being together as a married couple.

Jill Tavelman with her daughter Lily Collins and ex-husband Phil Collins at the Mirror Mirror Premiere (Source: eonline.com)

Surprisingly, Phil Collins used one of the cruelest ways of ending a relationship, i.e. break up through a FAX. The 65 years old singer sent Jill a FAX explaining how he felt about them and their future, along with Lily who was just five years at that time. However, after the divorce, Jill received a massive amount of $17 million for the divorce settlement.

Shocking Tragedy: 

When Phil sent the heartbreaking FAX to Jill, he was allegedly having an affair with a woman; for the second time. When Lilly Collins came up with a book ‘Unfiltered: No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me’, which excerpts her father’s memoir, 'Not Dead Yet,' she revealed Phil's cheat on her mother, i.e. Jill.

His first affair started in 1992, the time when Phil was performing in LA and met his childhood romance, Lavinia Lang. He wrote,

“Seeing her: time stops, then rattles backward, fast, dizzyingly, to teenage dreams.  I am not thinking about my nearby wife, 3-year-old daughter and mother-in-law. I know that recounting this makes me sound a right shallow bastard. But I’m not that way. I’m very loyal. Very committed.”

Phil and Lavinia even came to a decision on leaving their partners but later Lavinia backed off from the plan in fear of losing her kids, and no reported harm was done to his relationship with his wife.

Heart-Breaking Split:- Peyton List Split, What Caused Boyfriend Cameron Monaghan Break Up?

After that, Phil stayed faithful to her and her child, but that was until Phil met Orianne Cevey, who at that time, served as a translator in Geneva. He wrote,

“For the next couple of days, I’m a dog with two tails, but at the same time: I’m about to go to Paris. And in Paris, I’m due to meet my wife and our 5-year-old daughter, who are flying in from London.

 What have I done? Well, I know what I’ve done. I’ve betrayed my wife and child. Again. And I’ve set sail for perilously uncharted waters. ‘Meet Phil Collins’ new mystery girlfriend. She’s young enough to be his daughter.

’ Ticks all the midlife crisis boxes.”

“I try to outline the way I feel about us, about the future. The most reliable and quickest way to get this letter to her is to fax rather than post it. So that’s what I do.”

Eventually, on the second time, Phil left his family allegedly leaving a breakup message on FAX and went on marrying Orianne in 1999, only to get divorced with her in 2008.

After three failed marriages, Phil started dating Dana Tyler, who works as a newsreader. Back in 2010, he had mentioned that he didn't want to get married for the fourth time as it meant a huge loss of fortune to Phil if the wedding resulted in divorce.

But looking at Phil's massive net worth of $260 million, a few millions shouldn't have been much of an issue to him.

Divorce Through FAX Rumored?

After a decade, Phil finally broke the silence and addressed that FAX was not the source through which he asked for a divorce to Jill. He said,

“[It] really hurt my career or my public persona, and it was an untruth… So, I just thought it would be an opportunity just to lay it all out, and if I say it didn’t happen, I’m trusting that people will believe me.”

Un her husband Phil Collins and daughter Lily, Jill Tavelman is not much of a famous personality and is only known for being the ex-wife of Phil and mother of Lily. She has not disclosed her date of birth, but according to sources, she currently ages 62.

Raising Kid After Divorce:- The Marilyn Denis Show's Marilyn Denis: Raising Son as Single Parent Post Divorce

Any recent activities related to Jill Tavelman are currently undisclosed and so is her net worth.

However, Jill once made the news for buying a house next door to her for $4 million more than the quoted price as she paid a sum of $12.

4 million to prevent the house from being torn down to make a mega-mansion. This purchase solely gives hints that Jill Tavelman has a net worth exceeding $10 million.

Jill – who currently owns and runs an antique store in West Hollywood, California – is not known to have dated any men after her divorce from Phil. However, she is close to her daughter Lily, who works as an actress and is famous for performing in movies To The Bone, Mirror Mirror, and Blindside.

Powerful Prayers to Save Your Marriage From Divorce

Prayer Of A Husband Hurt Through Divorce

You made a promise to God and your partner to love and to cherish, ‘till death do you part. Now, maybe you’re wondering if it’s possible to remain together, despite differences, obstacles, or space that has come between you. Your wife is too busy, preoccupied or aloof.

Your husband is too insensitive, disrespectful or passive. Remember, the two of you took vows before God, family, and friends. Those vows remain strong today, but you may need to uncover them again, and pray for help along the way. No matter what has happened in your marriage, God loves you.

He is here for you.

Here are a few powerful prayers that may help you and your significant other rekindle the love in your hearts. These are meant to be prayers for you and your spouse to say together, with the hope of re-connecting and coming together toward a common goal – your marriage.

Pray For Love

Romans 12:10: “Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.”

Love. It’s easy to forget in the middle of an argument or the heat of a moment, but it’s what the Bible tells us to do anyway – love. “Be devoted…” in it. And the second part of this prayer may be just as difficult. “Honor one another above yourselves.

” It sounds easy in theory, but in reality, you may feel you are always putting your partner as a priority, and you are the one who is always second. Discuss this with your husband or wife and pray together over this verse. Ask each other what you can do in certain situations to put the other one first.

This might be as easy as giving them the first cup of coffee in the mornings or folding the last load of laundry at night. Or, it may go deeper than that, such as having to forgive.

If you are both trying to save your marriage from divorce, this is a great time to communicate with one another and discuss the best ways for showing each other love.

Pray For Your Marriage

Matthew 19: 4-6: “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”

One flesh. Those two words are very powerful. If you are married, joined together before God, he does not want you to separate. God loves you – BOTH of you. He believes that the two of you, together, are better than apart. In what ways is your life better because of your partner? Discuss these things together and pray over them.

How has your partner enriched your life, and made it better? Do you feel you are a team, operating as one flesh, one body, and one life together? If not, it may be a good time to discuss how you feel you could become more connected, and feel more united, as stated in the Bible.

Are there activities you can do together that will bring you closer, or are there things you’ve put off that you’d to start doing again? Whatever it is, remember that God rejoices in your happiness and your marriage. Pray for no one to separate the special union of you and your partner.

Pray for the Devil not to come between you, but for God to uplift you both and solidify your relationship, making it stronger than ever.

Pray For Strength

Philippians 4:12-13: “I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through Christ who gives me strength.”

This might be one of the hard times…a time of being in need, of being hungry or in want. However, you know you can get through this with the Lord beside you. He knows it is difficult. He knows you are hurting and broken inside.

He realizes that this is not something that you planned nor is it something you ever wanted. You may look around you and see other marriages growing and thriving, while you feel yours is headed towards failure.

It’s important during times these to focus on your own marriage, and not compare. Remember that God provides you with the strength you need to get through anything, and He is there to help you, right now, if you just pray and ask Him.

Take a moment to be with your partner and pray for God’s strength during this trying time in your lives. He will be there for you, if you let Him.

Pray For Faith

Romans 8:18: “The pain that you've been feeling, can't compare to the joy that's coming.”

If you have been discussing the possibility of divorce with your partner, it’s inevitable that you’ve been in pain recently. No married couple ever sees divorce as happening to them, so when the word even begins entering the vocabulary, it can be devastating.

God asks us throughout the Bible to remain faithful, to believe that on the other side of this emptiness and sorrow is a much, much happier place. If you know your marriage can get there, it’s faith that you’re deciding to follow. Faith that will lead you the way you need to go. Acknowledge the hurt but pray for the joy.

Pray for the happier times ahead and along the way, remain faithful to Him.

There are many signs throughout God’s word that He is with us. He is helping you and your partner along this journey, and he won’t leave your side. Pray with your spouse and pray to God. Pray for love, strength, faith, but most of all, pray for your marriage.

Ask Him to bless your relationship and let no one come between you. Ask Him to calm your fears and your desires and to put Him above all else. Ask Him for his wisdom and guidance to help you and your partner.

And most of all, believe that He will be with you both as you navigate this road towards a more loving, faith-filled marriage.
