God who heals, I pray that Tish believe and continue to walk by faith in this season. I pray that your dad is healed and fully conscious and restored. I ask for your miracle working ways to bless this family and grant them repentance, healing, faith, courage, obedience, and grace. I pray that you lead Tish to the job you have already set aside for her. I pray that the fear of the Lord be upon Tish and her husband and that your name be glorified. Grant them wisdom, perseverance and understanding. In Jesus name, Amen.

Heavenly, thank you for Tish’s life.

What a beautiful daughter, bringing the cares of her father to your feet for mercy and healing. As you had healed Peter’s mother-in-law, we know that you love to heal family, and I pray that Tish’s dad is fully recovered, full of life and using his restored life in devotion to you and to the glory of your kingdom.

I stand in agreement with her, thanking you for the restoration of her marriage. We know it is in your will to restore her marriage – you created marriage, you it was NOT good for Adam to be alone, so you invented marriage that is GOOD. And, that it is what you have purposed for Tish’s life with her husband.

Jesus, help her to forgive her husband’s infidelity. Heal her heart from the pain of betrayal. Jesus, we know that you are not a stranger to pain. You have faced betrayal in your face. You relate intimately for her pain and have compassion for her. Just as you had compassion for the woman who lost her child and you groaned inside from her pain. And, as you wept, sobbed with Mary and Martha from the loss of their beloved brother and your friend, Lazarus. Jesus, you are intimate with our pain and have compassion and love for us. You cry with Tish when she soaks her pillow at night with tears, from the agonizing heart break of betrayal, of infidelity. You want to wrap her up in your arms and comfort her, and wipe away her tears, as you told the grieving mother ‘don’t cry’. Those words ‘don’t cry’ comes with such compassion, sorrow for our pain. Oh, Jesus, how intimate you are with our pain, and do not shy away from it. Jesus, we know that you relate.

Jesus, we know you experience the pain of our daily infidelity, when we turn to other things, other people, other worries, every and any other idol of life that we elevate above you. You feel the pain of our adultery and betrayal. And, yet, you look at us with love, eager to forgive us. You are Hosea, who kept loving his adulterous wife. Jesus, I thank you that you have poured your supernatural forgiving grace over Tish that she can look at her husband without bitterness, disdain, contempt, unforgiveness, anger. But, she can look at him and say what you said when we were murdering you… forgive them for they know not what they do. She sees him as the frail, weak man, embattled by the struggle to do what is right, but fails, tormented by the enslavement of sin and the enemy, beyond his control. The man who hates the man that he is, when he looks deep within. The man that recognizes his weakness and in his heart cries out for forgiveness, to be made whole. We, too, can relate to her husband who butts his head against the wall in disgust of the sin in our own lives. As Peter says, we do what we DON’T want to do and do NOT do what we should do. We all struggle to be more like you and are so grateful for your forgiving grace, and the empowerment to do better day-by-day. Jesus, only you can do that healing and saving and perfecting work in her husband and that forgiving work in Tish.

You said that she is free to leave her marriage because divorce due to infidelity is acceptable. But, Jesus, you didn’t divorce us. I’m so grateful that you did not hand us divorce papers, and leave us doomed to the tormenting embrace with the enemy. Even still you forgave us. Jesus, I pray this over Tish and her marriage. I pray that you restore love and bliss and passion as you described in Song of Solomon. You wrote it for us, because you love that in marriage. And that is a future for Tish and her husband. Thank you for the healing that takes them from the pain of the past to that beautiful future of the undefiled bed, of the first love and intimacy and laughter and friendship.

You intended Tish’s husband to leave his parents and to cleave to her, to be one flesh with her, to everyday find the good thing in her, and as a result experience favour. May Tish experience the favour of a restored marriage. And, may she experience the overflow of favour to an excellent, high-paying job, a beautiful home that she never believed she could have, the adopted child she prayed for. Thank you for equipping her to do your work and to be a testimony who glorifies your Name. May everyone who hears her testimony be touched in their hearts and come running to you for the same loving kindness and miraculous saving grace.

For this I pray in thanksgiving, for it is ALREADY done. Amen!
