Pray for fc husband sv, but nothing happens
Q: How do you pray for the unbelievers in your life?
Especially when they are so close to you.
I am asking because my husband is not a believer and when we first met he said he was but fast forward 6 years later he says he did not want to push me away so he lied about it when we met.
He is a selfish person, I am not saying that to be mean but he admits it himself that he is very selfish and that “that’s just the way I am” he says.
We have a 5 year old and a newborn.
Our relationship has always been very challenging and I always pray things like God restore our marriage, Lord soften my husbands heart towards me. Things like this.
I was told today that the Lord can do all things but not if the person is not repentant or not if the person themselves doesn’t see anything wrong or wants to change themselves.
That is why I am asking is there anything else I should be praying for since he does not want to “change” or see anything wrong with being selfish. Should I pray that he has an encounter with God?
I hope this all makes sense, I am going through a very rough path with our relationshship.
A: Many of us married only to find out after honeymoon phase that thd spouse was a false convert, cultural Christian, pew sitter, etc. Many profess Christ but live idolatrously with a god they made in their mind.
We do need to take action and go knowing God will lead us... besides just prayer.
Have you actively tried to discuss Christianity with him? Have you ever studied apologetics and evangelism to be able to answer his objections and questions? Have you probed him with the Gospel, too?
Have you invited him to Church at Christmas and Easter? To try to get him thinking about God and hearing of Christianity from others (preacher)? [Do you actively take your kids to Church every Sunday, and to vbs, and trach them at home about God?]. Do you talk of God & biblical worldview when you talk about things, life, situations, problems, world and national related and ethic topics too? We should actively be speaking of things from a godly biblical perspective, so the things of God are on the minds of family, and of morality according to God. Regardless of their responses and attitudes. Don't allow fear from speaking truth in love, as you live out your faith.
People don't, won't and can't change nor desire righteousness until they come to Christ; God saving them by their obeying the Gospel. So sinners will always and only do what their nature does - sin. They'll do it to the extent of how far their conscience is seared, and how moral their compass is; very mild, or very sinful to the evil extreme.
Being unequally yoked is hard, you're right-in the heart of the battle between light and darkness, and they don't mix. There will always be emnity and negativity until the person raises the white flag in defeat by God via the Gospel of Christ. They they'll be adopted by God & transfered into the Lord's army, servant soldiers serving God, and that includes pursuing holiness and love, and become more like Christ. When the marriage is equally yoked... you're on the same page, striving to live for God's will and purposes. Until then wear the Armour of God, in this spiritual warfare, and don't give up. Persevere and point him and your kids to Christ, until either they get saved, or die in due time - and then theyre accountable to God, their Creator.
Stay close to God, daily in the Word and prayer. Keep growing in the Faith, let God use this to do so, to strengthen you, to prune you, to grow you in sanctification, and mature you in the Faith.
