When praying for marriage restoration after separation or divorce, begin by asking if it's God's will—don't stand in faith without His direction. Consider if your ex-spouse is available or entangled in another relationship, and ask God if their absence is actually His protection. Be prepared for others not to support your decision to believe for restoration, and commit to the journey regardless of the outcome. Focus less on changing your ex and more on becoming someone they could return to. Forgive fully, and pray for their spiritual growth—not just the return of the marriage, but true healing and transformation.

Marriage is a sacred covenant before God, requiring both spouses to die to self and become one. Just as covenants in Scripture required sacrifice to become effective, the marriage covenant requires both spouses to give up their independence, past lives, and bodily autonomy in service to one another. Violating this covenant—particularly through adultery or neglecting marital duties—brings spiritual consequences. Even when a marriage begins without God's direction, it must still be honored because God holds us accountable to the promises we make to our spouse. The authority of this covenant is why divorce is not an option and why faithfulness and sacrificial love are non-negotiable. As believers under the New Covenant, we are called back to God's original design: one man, one woman, for life.

In our guru culture of coaches and mentors, we are being programmed to follow other people's paths to success. This is tempting to our intellect and emotions because we believe that if somebody has made six or seven figures doing it a certain way, then we'll also be successful if we just follow their way. However, this rarely happens.

If you look at the results of the guru's students, they rarely reach the same level of success as the guru. And of course the guru says that if you take action, you will make it just like me. Well, people are taking actions, and it is still not working.

The reason it is not working is because another person's path to success is not your blueprint from God. And by the way, this also applies to trying to follow the success of someone else's ministry. Take a listen.
