Continued prayers for my marriage

Disciple of Prayer
9/2-continue prayers appreciated. I feel so defeated...My husband is admit that he does not want to continue our marriage. In our state you must be separated for 1 year before divorce is granted. He stated that he no longer sees a future with me. I will stay faithful in prayer and stand on God's word that he works all things out for our good. Although I am completely heartbroken and am in tears as I type this I know God has a plan. I will continue to stand in the gap for my marriage and pray for my husband....until God tells me to move. I am hopeful that this separation will bring realization. We are in month 2 of this separation and it's not getting any easier. I love my husband deeply. For 18 months we went through a rough season of family issues, death and health issues- it was a very trying time. In April everything was turning around for us, but in June he decided that he needed to leave. The devil worked so hard to destroy my marriage and I refuse to let him have the final say. My mind, body, and soul feel so tired fighting.

Reaching out for continued prays for God to do his will in my marriage. My husband and I have been separated for 2 months (his choice) now and some days I do okay mentally and others not so much. I am completely shattered and feel the world crumbling beneath my feet. I am locked in to reading my bible, prayer, and journaling. I am asking God to search me and bring to light whatever I need to do to be more like Christ. I specifically asked God in prayer - God, what is your desire for my marriage and what is your desire for my husband? I've fully surrendered my marriage to God because I know there is nothing that I can say or do to change my husband's mind and not give up on our precious marriage. Only God can do the work in him. I'm asking God to search my husband's heart and speak to it. I ask for God to breathe life in my husband's silence. I ask for God to cover my husband where I can't reach. I ask for God to meet my husband in his dreams, reminding him of our union. I ask for our union be made whole again. I am an unwavering wife that is standing in the gap for her husband and marriage...I will not back down. The devil cannot have what God has joined. I declare with boldness, that no weapon formed against my marriage shall prosper. Father God, send your army of angels and anoint my marriage, my husband and me with fresh oil.

8/29 -He told me last Friday (8/22) that he’s not planning on returning. I am not losing faith or hope that God can and will work a miracle. I know I cannot change my husband so I ask for God to do the work in me and work in my husband because he knows him best. My husband is camping the weekend in the Upper Peninsula in nature with one of his best friends from the military. There will be no cell service so I pray God uses this time to make his presence known to my husband and does a mighty work in his heart. I told my husband I will continue to pray for him and our marriage. He tells me it’s a waste of time but I refuse to believe that. I am interceding on behalf of my husband and our marriage and will fight until God tells me to move. My heart is crushed but my spirit is strong waiting on the Lord.
 
We stand with you in this heartbreaking season, dear sister, and we lift your hands in intercession as you fight the good fight for your marriage. Your commitment to prayer, fasting, and surrendering this battle to the Lord is a testament to your faith, and we honor your resolve to stand in the gap for your husband and covenant. The enemy has indeed sought to steal, kill, and destroy, but we declare with you that he will not prevail, for *greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world* (1 John 4:4). Your weariness is understood—this is a heavy burden to bear—but take heart, for the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). He is your strength when you feel you cannot go on, and He will renew your spirit as you wait upon Him (Isaiah 40:31).

Your husband’s words are painful, but we must remember that man’s plans are not God’s plans. The Lord can turn the heart of a king—or a husband—like rivers of water (Proverbs 21:1). Though your husband says there is no hope, our God specializes in the impossible. Look to Abraham and Sarah, who in their old age were given a son when all hope seemed lost (Romans 4:18-21). Look to the dry bones in Ezekiel’s valley, which the Lord breathed life into when there was no natural reason to believe (Ezekiel 37:1-14). Your husband may be hardened now, but the Lord can soften his heart in ways we cannot see. You are wise to pray for God to meet him in the silence of nature this weekend, where the distractions of the world are removed. May the Lord speak to him as He did to Elijah—not in the wind, earthquake, or fire, but in the *still small voice* (1 Kings 19:12). May your husband encounter the living God in a way he cannot ignore or deny.

We also commend you for surrendering this battle to the Lord and seeking His will above your own desires. It is right to ask, *“God, what is Your desire for my marriage? What is Your desire for my husband?”* Your posture of humility and openness to the Lord’s leading is beautiful. Continue to allow the Holy Spirit to search your heart as well, for we all have areas where we must grow in Christlikeness. Ask the Lord to reveal any idols, bitterness, or unforgiveness in your own heart, that you may be a vessel fully surrendered to His work (Psalm 139:23-24). Remember, too, that while you stand for your marriage, your ultimate trust must be in the Lord, not in the outcome you desire. Even if the Lord’s plan differs from your prayers, He is good, and His ways are perfect (Isaiah 55:8-9).

That said, we strongly encourage you to use this season of separation wisely. Immerse yourself in the Word, in prayer, and in fellowship with believers who can strengthen and encourage you. The enemy will seek to isolate you in your grief, but you are not alone—you are part of the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:26). Lean on your sisters and brothers in the faith, and do not hesitate to seek godly counseling if needed. The Lord often uses His people to minister healing and wisdom in times of brokenness.

We must also address something with love but firmness: while your heart is in the right place, be cautious of declarations that could border on presuming upon the Lord’s will. For example, saying *“the devil cannot have what God has joined”* is a powerful declaration of faith, but we must always submit even our declarations to the Lord’s sovereignty. God *hates* divorce (Malachi 2:16), and His desire is for marriages to reflect Christ’s love for the church (Ephesians 5:22-33). However, we also know that not all marriages are restored, even when one spouse stands faithfully in prayer. Moses was not permitted to enter the Promised Land despite his faithfulness (Deuteronomy 34:4). Paul asked three times for his thorn in the flesh to be removed, but the Lord said, *“My grace is sufficient for you”* (2 Corinthians 12:8-9). Our trust must be in the Lord’s goodness, not in a specific outcome.

This does not mean you should stop praying for restoration—far from it! But it does mean surrendering the *how* and the *when* to the Lord. Your husband’s salvation and sanctification are of eternal importance, and sometimes the Lord uses the breaking of a marriage to bring a wayward spouse to repentance. Pray not only for your marriage but for your husband’s soul. Pray that if he is walking in rebellion, the Lord would lovingly but firmly convict him (Hebrews 12:6). Pray that he would encounter the Holy Spirit in a way that leaves him undone, like Paul on the road to Damascus (Acts 9). Pray that if there is any sin in his life—bitterness, pride, lust, or hardness of heart—the Lord would expose it and bring him to brokenness before the cross.

Lastly, sister, guard your heart against despair. The Lord sees your tears, and He is collecting them in His bottle (Psalm 56:8). He is not indifferent to your pain. Cling to the promise that *“the joy of the Lord is your strength”* (Nehemiah 8:10), even when joy feels far away. This season will not last forever. Whether the Lord restores your marriage or calls you to a new season of life, He will walk with you every step of the way.

Now, let us pray together over you and your husband:

*Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our sister, who is weary but still standing in faith. Lord, You see her broken heart, her exhaustion, and her deep love for her husband and marriage. We ask that You would be her strength when she feels she cannot take another step. Fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding her heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Remind her that You are near, that You hear her prayers, and that You are working even when she cannot see it.*

*Lord, we lift her husband before You. You know his heart, his struggles, and the wounds that may have led him to this place. Soften his heart, O God. Break down the walls of pride, bitterness, or deception that have hardened him. Speak to him in the silence of this weekend, Lord—let him encounter You in a way he cannot ignore. Convict him of sin, draw him to repentance, and remind him of the covenant he made before You. If there is any influence of the enemy in his life, we bind it in the name of Jesus and declare that no weapon formed against this marriage shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).*

*Father, we ask for a miracle. You are the God who raises the dead, who calls things that are not as though they were (Romans 4:17). If it is Your will, restore this marriage in a way that brings You glory. Let this separation be a season of refinement for both of them, where You are working in ways they cannot yet see. But above all, Lord, let Your will be done. If restoration is not Your plan, give our sister the grace to surrender, the strength to walk forward in faith, and the assurance that You are still good.*

*We rebuke the spirit of despair, loneliness, and hopelessness that seeks to overwhelm her. Fill her instead with Your hope, Your joy, and Your supernatural peace. Surround her with Your people who will uplift her, pray with her, and remind her of Your promises. Let her testimony through this trial be one of Your faithfulness, whether in restoration or in redemption through the storm.*

*Finally, Lord, we ask that You would prepare her for whatever lies ahead. If this marriage is to be restored, prepare her heart to forgive fully, to love deeply, and to walk in unity with her husband as You intend. If this marriage is not to be restored, prepare her for the new season You have for her. Let her trust in You be unshaken, knowing that You are her portion, her provider, and her ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).*

*We pray all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.*

Stand firm, sister. The Lord is with you, and He is fighting for you (Exodus 14:14). Keep praying, keep seeking His face, and trust that He will lead you one step at a time. We are standing with you in faith, believing for God’s best in your life and marriage. Do not lose heart—*let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up* (Galatians 6:9). The battle is the Lord’s, and He is faithful.
 
Dear ###,

We're here with you, standing in the gap, lifting our voices in prayer for your marriage. We see your strength and resilience in the face of this trial, and we want you to know that you're not alone.

We believe in the power of prayer, and we're confident that God hears your cries and sees your tears. He is working, even when you can't see it. Trust in Him, and keep standing firm.

We're also reminded of the story of David and Goliath. David was small and seemingly insignificant, but he had faith in God. He said, "You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands..." (1 Samuel 17:45-46, NIV).

Just like David, you're fighting a giant, but you're not fighting alone. You have the God of the armies of Israel on your side. Trust in Him, and keep fighting the good fight.

We're praying for your husband, too. We ask God to soften his heart, to speak to him in the silence, and to remind him of the covenant he made before God. We pray for a miracle, for God to restore your marriage in a way that brings Him glory.

Remember, no matter what happens, God is good. He loves you, and He has a plan for your life. Trust in Him, and keep moving forward one step at a time.

You're in our thoughts and prayers. We're standing with you, believing for God's best in your life and marriage. Keep fighting, ###. The battle is the Lord's, and He is faithful.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
