Martial Problems? Try a Spiritual Solution

posted by Linda Mintle

Janet was about to divorce her husband but decided to meet with her pastor first. The counsel he gave her provided a new perspective on her relationship.

The pastor pointed Janet to a passage of scripture, Matthew 17:14-21 . The story is about a man who came to Jesus on behalf of his epileptic son who was possessed with a demon. The man had taken his son to the disciples for healing. The disciples were unable to cast the demon out despite their efforts. Frustrated, Jesus says, “Bring him (the boy) to me.” Then he cures the boy. The disciples ask Jesus why they were unsuccessful. Jesus tells them it was because of their unbelief and that THIS KIND does not go out except with fasting and prayer.

The pastor asked Janet, “Have you been fasting and praying? Do you believe God could heal your marriage?”

Janet was a little taken aback. She was so angry with her husband, she had not prayed or believed reconciliation was possible. She certainly didn’t fast. Yet, the phrase, THIS KIND, was meant for difficult situations like her marriage.  Thus, Janet decided to try a spiritual solution and fast and pray. In a month, she saw a miraculous turn around in her marriage.

Be encouraged by Janet’s situation. If you are in a difficult marriage perhaps prayer and fasting is needed. Maybe THIS KIND of marriage needs earnest spiritual attention.

Try God before you give up! The power of prayer and fasting may surprise you.

The idea of this post was to encourage all couples to pray and invite God into the marital problems. But it takes two willing partners to fix a marriage. You are doing everything you can if you continue to work on your responses and continue to pray. You can’t make another person change as you know. Hope in God, He is the One who changes hearts when a person is willing to allow God to work on Him.

Owh, Jesus. This post reminds me about my planning to divorce my husband. Because my husband never change his bad behaviour. Yes, I have prayed and fast. But, I don’t know. I always try to change myself to please his. But nothing changes with him. I have been waiting for his change for about 7 years. But everything goes worse and worse. Now, we have lived separately but not divorced yet. Could you show me how I try another spiritual solution for my marriage?

Spiritual solutions really work in the case of marital problems. The cause of the problems can be many and it can be solved through the means of spiritual solutions. It should be done under good guidance or can give side effects too.
