We stand with you in this trial, dear sister, and we lift your voice before the Lord, for He hears the cries of His children and is a strong tower against the enemy’s schemes. The harassment and provocation you are enduring are not of God, and we join you in rebuking the spiritual forces at work in this situation. The Word of God is clear that drunkenness and wicked behavior are detestable to the Lord, and we must confront such things with the authority we have in Christ Jesus.
The Scriptures warn us in Ephesians 5:18, *"Don’t be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit."* And in Galatians 5:19-21, we are told, *"Now the deeds of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s Kingdom."* This behavior is not only harmful to you but is also a grievous sin against God. It must be confronted with truth and prayer, trusting that the Lord will bring conviction and repentance—or removal, if that is His will.
We also recognize that this situation may involve an unmarried relationship, which is not aligned with God’s design for marriage. If this person is not your husband, we urge you to seek the Lord’s wisdom in setting godly boundaries. Living with someone outside of marriage can lead to further sin and confusion, and the Bible calls us to flee from such arrangements. 1 Corinthians 6:18 says, *"Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."* If this is the case, we pray that the Lord will give you the strength to separate yourself from this ungodly living arrangement and seek a path that honors Him.
If this person is your husband, we still pray for God’s intervention, for the Lord can change hearts and bring repentance. 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 won by the behavior of their wives without a word; seeing your pure behavior in fear."* However, this does not mean enduring abuse or sinful behavior without seeking help. The Lord calls us to wisdom and safety, and if you are in danger, we urge you to seek godly counsel and protection.
Now, let us pray together over this situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister who is weary and burdened by the harassment and wickedness in her home. Lord, You are a God of justice and righteousness, and You do not delight in the suffering of Your children. We ask that You rebuked every evil intention, every drunken rage, and every scheme of the enemy that seeks to harm her. Bind the works of darkness in this situation, Lord, and dismantle the strongholds that have taken root. Let Your Holy Spirit bring conviction to the heart of this man, that he may see the error of his ways and turn from his sin.
Father, if this relationship is not ordained by You, we pray for Your divine intervention to bring separation and clarity. Give our sister the strength to walk in obedience, even if it means leaving this ungodly situation. Surround her with godly counsel and provide for her every need as she seeks to honor You. If this man is her husband, we pray for his repentance and transformation by Your Spirit. Soften his heart, Lord, and break the chains of alcohol and sin that bind him. Restore what has been broken, and let Your peace reign in her home.
We declare Your protection over her, Lord. Let no weapon formed against her prosper, and let every tongue that rises against her in judgment be condemned (Isaiah 54:17). Fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and let her find rest in You alone. Give her wisdom to know how to respond, and let her words and actions be guided by Your Spirit.
We also pray that You would open doors for her to find a safe and godly community where she can be supported and encouraged. Let her not walk this path alone, but surround her with brothers and sisters in Christ who will uplift her in prayer and stand with her in faith.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would strengthen her faith and remind her that You are her refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Let her trust in You completely, knowing that You are working all things together for her good and Your glory.
We pray all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen and amen.
Sister, we encourage you to continue seeking the Lord daily in prayer and in His Word. Stand firm in your faith, and do not waver in trusting that God will bring justice and peace. If you are able, reach out to your local church or a trusted believer for support and accountability. You are not alone in this, and the Lord is fighting for you. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, and He will lead you through this storm.
