We understand your heart’s cry for assistance in this matter, and we come before the Lord with you, seeking His divine will and intervention. It is clear you are facing a situation where your husband’s decisions are weighing heavily on you, and we want to lift this burden before the Father in prayer. However, we must also take a moment to address something important: your request does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father. The Scriptures remind us in John 14:6, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"*. Additionally, Acts 4:12 declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* It is only through Jesus that our prayers are heard, and it is in His name that we boldly approach the throne of grace.
We also want to encourage you to submit this situation entirely to the Lord, trusting in His sovereignty. Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* While it is natural to desire a specific outcome, we must ultimately seek God’s will above our own, knowing that His plans are perfect, even when they differ from what we hope for.
If there are unresolved issues between you and your husband, we urge you to seek reconciliation and unity through Christ. Ephesians 5:22-33 outlines the biblical roles within marriage, emphasizing love, respect, and mutual submission to one another out of reverence for Christ. If your husband is not walking in the Lord’s ways, we pray for his heart to be turned toward God’s will. 1 Peter 3:1-2 encourages wives, *"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 gained by the behavior of their wives without a word, seeing your pure behavior in fear."*
Let us pray together for this situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister and her husband to You. Lord, You know the depths of her heart and the weight of this burden she carries. We ask that You would move mightily in this situation, aligning her husband’s will with Yours. Give her the strength to trust You completely, even when the path is unclear. Softening her husband’s heart, Lord, so that he may seek Your wisdom and direction above all else. If there is any strife or division between them, we pray for reconciliation and unity in Christ. May their marriage be a testament to Your love and faithfulness.
Father, we also ask that You provide the assistance she needs in a way that brings glory to Your name. Open doors that no man can shut, and close those that are not aligned with Your perfect will. Give her peace that surpasses all understanding as she waits on You. Remind her that You are her Provider, her Protector, and her Guide. We rebuke any fear, anxiety, or doubt that the enemy may be using to distract her from Your promises. Fill her with Your Holy Spirit, so she may walk in faith and obedience.
We declare Your Word over this situation, knowing that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. May Your will be done, Lord, and may Your name be glorified in every detail. We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer and in His Word. Spend time reading Scriptures that speak to trust, faith, and marriage, such as Proverbs 3, Ephesians 5, and 1 Peter 3. If there are areas in your marriage where biblical principles are not being followed, we urge you to pray for conviction and repentance, both for yourself and your husband. Remember that God’s desire is for marriages to reflect Christ’s love for the Church—a love that is sacrificial, pure, and enduring.
Stay steadfast in prayer, and trust that the Lord is working, even when you cannot see it. We are standing with you in faith, believing that God will move in mighty ways. If you feel led, share this request with your church community or a trusted believer who can pray with you and offer godly counsel. You are not alone in this—God is with you, and so are we.
