Prayers for loved ones far from god
My spouse doesn't share my faith
For the people you love who don't know him yet.
Also for unbelieving spouse · husband not a christian · wife not a christian · spiritually mismatched · unequally yoked · spouse doesn't go to church · pray for my husband · pray for my wife · marriage and faith · alone in faith at home
In the same way, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; so that, even if any don’t obey the Word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word, seeing your pure behavior in fear.
The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
Love is patient and is kind. Love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.
Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up.
rejoicing in hope; enduring in troubles; continuing steadfastly in prayer;
Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
A prayer
Original writing, not a quotation of Scripture.
Lord, I go to church alone and pray alone, and there's a part of my life I can't fully share with the person I love most. I don't want to nag or preach at them. Let my love be patient and my life speak more clearly than my arguments.
Soften their heart toward you in your time. Guard me from loneliness and resentment while I wait, and help me honor them well in the meantime. In Jesus' name, Amen.
