Prayer for the Lord to soften my partner's heart

by Teju

My relationship started off with the Lord encouraging both of us to stick together through thick and thin. Along the way, I found myself battling a situation which meant my partner and I couldn't meet as often as we would've loved. It started causing resentment between us, but I managed to stand firm on what the Lord had told me.

My partner on the other hand, began to change. He began blaming all our problems on my situation and avoiding me, though he still stayed in the relationship. This affected me and made me point fingers back, but even through it all, I still know that God cannot encourage something and then end it abruptly.

I've made mistakes and cannot absolve myself from anything, but my heart has not changed and God isn't giving me rest over him. Please pray for us, that the Lord will soften his heart towards me, as a heart hardened towards something the Lord has provided is hardened towards the Lord. I care about me, but more for him. He is operating in flesh and not spirit.

He's allowed his ego to take over. But even so, the Lord has told me not to leave him. I intend to follow through on God's plan, but I am also human and I don't want to go against the will of God because my partner is bitter.

Please pray for Femi's heart to be softened towards the voice of God and me.

The Lord will bless you as you pray for me.
