Prayer for Standers ...Marriage Restoration in Christ
Then Peter said, "Now I understand that God doesn't play favorites. Rather, whoever respects God and does what is right is acceptable to him in any nation."
Acts 10:3
"God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he
should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he
promise and not fulfill?" Numbers 23:19
"How much time have you spent beating yourself up over what you did
or
did not do in the past? Have you said to yourself, "I've made so
many
mistakes, there's no way to fix it now?" Don't believe this. Our
God
is a God of second chances. He gave second chances to Abraham, to
Jonah, and to Peter. Abraham went down to Egypt when God told him
not
to, yet God gave him a second chance. Jonah ran away from what God
was asking yet He showed him a way out of the belly of the whale.
Peter denied his Savior three times but God still asked him to "feed
My sheep."
Look at the story of the prodigal son. Don't you think that father
spent many sleepless nights replaying things he should have said or
things he should have done so that his son would not leave? Don't
you think that every day he said to himself, "If only..." But God
gave the father as well as the son a second chance. And He will give
you a second chance also.
Don't condemn yourself and what you've done in the past. God
forgives this and has put it behind Him. "As far as the east is from
the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us."
(Psalm 103:12). Change is a process and it often takes time. God is
doing a new thing for you and you are a new person in Christ.
"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am
doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am
making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland."
Isaiah 43:18-19
Yes, our God is a God of second chances and third and fourth and
fifth. Even when we fail Him, He is good and gracious and gives us
another opportunity. He loves us too much to leave us where we're
at.
He wants you to be a new person in Him and He will keep picking you
up, dusting you off and setting you on the road again, until you
reach
His destination."
"When we were overwhelmed by sins, you forgave our transgressions."
Psalm 65:
