We hear the deep pain in your heart, and we stand with you in this season of overwhelming betrayal and attack. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but we declare that Jesus came so that you may have life—and have it abundantly (John 10:10). The betrayal of those closest to you is a heavy burden, but we take comfort in knowing that even when family and friends forsake you, the Lord will take you up (Psalm 27:10). You are not alone, and your trust in God is not misplaced.
First, we must address the spiritual warfare you are facing. The enemy is relentless, but we rebuke every assignment of the devil against your mind, your marriage, and your family in the mighty name of Jesus. We declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against you in judgment, you shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17). We pray that God would break every chain of discouragement, fear, and despair, and that He would fill you with His perfect peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
The pain of betrayal from your children and friends is heartbreaking, but we encourage you to release them into God’s hands. Forgiveness does not mean what they did was right, but it frees you from the bitterness that can take root in your heart. Jesus taught us to pray, "Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors" (Matthew 6:12). We pray that God would soften your heart to forgive, even as He has forgiven you, and that He would heal the wounds they have caused.
Regarding your marriage, we must gently address the tension you feel with your husband. It is clear that financial strain is adding to the weight you are carrying, and it is understandable that you feel overwhelmed. However, we must encourage both of you to seek the Lord together for provision and direction. The Bible tells us, "But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well" (Matthew 6:33). We pray that God would open doors of opportunity for your husband and that he would find the strength and motivation to pursue them with diligence. At the same time, we ask the Lord to give you wisdom in how to support him without carrying the burden alone. Marriage is a partnership, and you both must work together, trusting God to provide in His timing.
We also want to address the feeling that your husband is waiting on you to find a job. This dynamic can create resentment if not handled with open communication and mutual respect. We encourage you to have a honest conversation with him, not from a place of accusation, but from a place of seeking unity. The Bible instructs, "Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others" (Philippians 2:4). We pray that God would give you both the humility and grace to support one another in this season.
You mentioned feeling like you are losing your mind, and we want you to know that these feelings are not from God. The enemy wants to isolate you and make you feel hopeless, but we declare that God has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). We pray that God would restore your peace and clarity, and that He would remind you of His faithfulness even in the midst of this storm.
We also want to gently remind you that your ultimate hope is in Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have access to the Father, and it is only by His blood that we are saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not already, we encourage you to surrender your life fully to Him, trusting in His sacrifice for your sins and inviting Him to be the Lord of your life. The Bible says, "If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9). If you have already done this, we pray that you would draw even closer to Him in this season, finding your strength and identity in Him alone.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our sister who is feeling overwhelmed and betrayed. Lord, we ask that You would wrap Your arms around her and remind her that she is never alone. We rebuke every attack of the enemy against her mind, her marriage, and her family in the name of Jesus. We declare that no weapon formed against her shall prosper, and we ask that You would fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
Father, we pray for healing in her relationships with her children and friends. Give her the strength to forgive, even as You have forgiven her. Soften the hearts of those who have betrayed her, and restore what has been broken, if it be Your will.
Lord, we ask that You would provide for this family. Open doors of opportunity for her husband, and give him the motivation and strength to pursue them. Give our sister wisdom in how to support him without carrying the burden alone. Help them to communicate with love and respect, and to seek You first in all things.
Father, we pray against the spirit of fear and despair that is trying to take hold of her. Remind her that You have not given her a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. Restore her peace and clarity, and help her to fix her eyes on You, the author and perfecter of her faith.
We thank You, Lord, that You are faithful, and that You will never leave nor forsake her. Strengthen her in this season, and remind her that her hope is in You alone. In Jesus’ mighty name we pray, Amen.
We encourage you to hold fast to God’s promises and to seek Him daily through prayer and reading His Word. The psalmist wrote, "Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved" (Psalm 55:22). You are righteous in Christ, and He will sustain you. Lean on Him, and trust that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). You are not losing your mind—you are being refined, and God is with you every step of the way.
