Devastated and Broken

[Astuindoorview]

I need God’s forgiveness. My husband disappeared. On purpose. Ghosted. We hired a private investigator. ### married his girlfriend in Canada. Left me and our two grown daughters here not knowing what happened to him. We hired a private investigator. I handled his cruelty with alcohol. Too much alcohol. I went to work with alcohol on my breath. My ex friend turned me in. Behind my back. Didn’t try to talk to me. I was wrong. Just sad she didn’t talk to me. My sister told me for years not to trust this woman. And she was correct. She stopped being my friend when I was no longer a person of social value or respect. Just an old drunk. Pray God forgives me and gives me peace and another chance at life, love, family and friends. Happiness. I have life left in me. Pray God and my sister forgive me. My daughter’s love and forgiveness. Pray please. Pray too for fun that God sends a good man to me. Make him handsome and clever! Thank you. ###

We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting you up in prayer as you navigate this profound pain and brokenness. Your husband’s betrayal and abandonment are grievous wounds, and the ripple effects of his sin have touched every part of your life, your marriage, your family, your friendships, and even your own struggles with alcohol. Yet even in this valley of deep sorrow, we know that God sees you, hears you, and longs to restore what has been broken. His Word assures us, "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit" (Psalm 34:18). You are not forgotten, and your cries do not fall on deaf ears.

First, we must address the weight of sin in this situation, not to condemn, but to bring truth and healing. Your husband’s actions are a grave violation of the covenant he made before God. Marriage is a sacred vow, a reflection of Christ’s love for His church (Ephesians 5:25-33), and his infidelity, deception, and abandonment are grievous sins. We rebuke the spirit of adultery and betrayal that has torn apart your family, and we pray for conviction to fall upon him. May he repent and seek restoration, not just with you, but with the Lord who hates divorce (Malachi 2:16) and calls us to holiness.

Your struggle with alcohol is also a serious matter, as Scripture warns, "Do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit" (Ephesians 5:18). We do not condemn you, for we all fall short (Romans 3:23), but we urge you to bring this battle before the Lord with honesty and humility. He is faithful to forgive and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). If this has become a stronghold in your life, we encourage you to seek godly counsel, accountability, and perhaps professional help to break free from its grip. You are not defined by this struggle, but by the One who calls you His beloved.

The betrayal by your friend is another layer of pain, and we grieve with you over the loss of trust and companionship. Proverbs 27:6 tells us, "Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy." While her actions were hurtful, we must also examine our own hearts. Your sister’s warning was wise, and we pray you will lean on her and others who have proven themselves faithful. True friendship is rooted in Christ-like love, not in what we can offer others. We rebuke the spirit of manipulation and false friendship, and we pray for God to surround you with people who will speak truth in love and walk with you in integrity.

Now, we turn to the Lord in prayer for you:

Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our sister who is deeply wounded and seeking Your face. Lord, You see the pain of her heart, the betrayal, the loneliness, the shame, and the regret. We ask that You would pour out Your mercy and grace upon her. Forgive her for the times she has turned to alcohol instead of You, and cleanse her from all unrighteousness. Wash her in the blood of Jesus and set her free from any bondage that has taken hold.

Father, we pray for her daughters. Heal their hearts from the abandonment of their father, and restore their trust in relationships. May they see Your faithfulness even in the midst of their pain, and may they extend grace and forgiveness to their mother as she seeks to walk in repentance and renewal.

Lord, we ask for Your peace to guard her heart and mind (Philippians 4:7). Where there is despair, bring hope. Where there is shame, bring Your healing love. Where there is loneliness, surround her with Your presence and with godly community. Restore what has been stolen, and give her a new song to sing (Psalm 40:3).

We also lift up her desire for companionship. Father, if it is Your will, prepare a godly man for her, a man who loves You above all else, who will cherish her, protect her, and lead her in righteousness. May he be a man of integrity, wisdom, and kindness, reflecting the love of Christ. But above all, Lord, let her find her identity and fulfillment in You first. Teach her to delight in You, and may her heart find its rest in Your unfailing love (Psalm 37:4).

We pray for her sister, that You would mend any brokenness between them and deepen their bond. May they find strength in one another and in You.

Father, we rebuke the enemy’s lies that she is unlovable, unforgivable, or beyond restoration. We declare that in Christ, she is a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17), and Your plans for her are for good and not for harm (Jeremiah 29:11). Fill her with Your joy, Your purpose, and Your hope.

We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, the One who bore our sorrows and carried our griefs (Isaiah 53:4). May she know the power of His resurrection and the hope of His promises. Amen.

Beloved, we want you to know that your worth is not defined by your husband’s choices, your friend’s betrayal, or even your own struggles. You are a daughter of the Most High God, and He has not abandoned you. The road to healing may be long, but it is not walked alone. Lean into the Lord, seek His face daily, and allow His Word to renew your mind. Surround yourself with believers who will encourage you, hold you accountable, and remind you of God’s faithfulness.

If you have not already, we urge you to seek counseling, both spiritually and professionally, to help you process this trauma and break free from any strongholds. There is no shame in asking for help; in fact, it is a sign of strength and wisdom. Proverbs 11:14 tells us, "Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety."

Lastly, we must address your mention of praying for a "good man" without invoking the name of Jesus. It is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father (John 14:6), and there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not already, we encourage you to surrender your life fully to Him, confessing your sins and trusting in His sacrifice for your salvation. He is the only source of true peace, forgiveness, and restoration. If you have already placed your faith in Him, we rejoice with you! But if not, we urge you to consider the words of Romans 10:9: "If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."

You are not alone in this journey. The Lord is with you, and so are we. Keep pressing into Him, and trust that He will restore the years the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25). Your story is not over, God is writing a new chapter, and it is one of redemption, hope, and joy.

We’ve been sitting with your words, and our hearts truly ache with you. You’ve been through so much, your husband’s sudden and cruel disappearance, the betrayal of a friend, and the way you coped with such heavy pain. It takes real courage to name all of that and to reach out for prayer. We’re grateful you’ve done so.

We want you to hear this clearly: God’s forgiveness is not something you have to earn or wait for. The moment you turn to Him in honest confession, as you have, He welcomes you with open arms. The peace you’re longing for can begin right now, not as a feeling but as a settled trust that you are fully loved and cleansed. You are not “just an old drunk” to Him; you are a daughter He delights in restoring.

When it comes to the human relationships, we know mending takes time. A concrete next step you might consider is gently reaching out to your sister and your daughters, not with a long explanation, but simply to tell them you love them, that you regret the distance, and that you’d like to rebuild trust. Even a short note or a quiet conversation can open a door. Their forgiveness may come in layers, but Christ can steady your heart while you wait.

Forgiving your friend and your husband will likely be more of a journey too. You don’t have to force warm feelings; you can start with a quiet decision, just between you and the Lord, to release their debts to God’s hands, so bitterness doesn’t keep robbing you of the new life you’re stepping into. That choice doesn’t make what they did right, but it frees you to breathe again.

We smiled at your request for a handsome, clever man, God knows the desires of your heart, and He’s not afraid of your “fun” prayer. We’ll trust Him to bring good companionship in His timing, whether that’s a new friend first or more.

Let’s pray together.

Father, thank You for holding through all this heartbreak. Thank You that Your forgiveness is immediate and complete. Help her rest in that today. Give her courage to reach out to her sister and daughters, and let tenderness flow between them. Calm the pain from old wounds, and show her how to forgive others as You have forgiven her. We ask for fresh joy, meaningful friendships, and yes, even a good man to walk beside her in the days ahead. Restore her hope, and let the life still in her shine brightly. In Jesus’ name, amen.

 

[Zedekiah]

May Lord Yeshua and Fatger God give you peace from pain. Watch over you. Guard over you. Help you find healing. Stability. Be whole. Conplete. With Christ. As we continue in prayer. Never stop praying until your dream comes true. To be whole with God. For God to be with us. To pray praise and worship daily. May God have compassion on your pain and brokenness and give you his comfort and peace for praying. His holy spirit is able to provide peace and ease for pain. His holy spirit. Thats him. Never stop praying until your dream comes true. My dream is to find a wife. After I lost my girlfriend. My girlfriend was really important to me even though I didn't know how to treat her at the time she meant the world to me but I lost her. Now I want to be sweet loving kind gentle to another woman. May God give everyone theyre dream come true if they pray praise and worship daily and wait. Ive waited 10 years for mine. May God surely bless you for waiting. And heal your sore trevail. Lord Yeshuas name. Amen.

 

[EnricoLange]

Lord Jesus please richly bless, protect, deliver, heal, save (those not saved) and guide them. Please help them in accordance with your perfect will Father. I ask this for them, us and all in need. Thank you and praise you. In your holy name I pray. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your heart lies in pieces at your feet, and you hardly know where to begin gathering them up. A husband who vanished, a friend who slipped away when you needed her most, and the bottle that promised comfort but brought only shame, it is a deep and tangled grief. You have looked at yourself in the mirror and seen only an old drunk, someone whose worth has drained out. But hear me gently, for I have good news for you. With the Lord there is forgiveness, and that one word can steady a soul even in the wildest storm.

You have not gone too far. The hole you have fallen into may feel bottomless, but the hand of Christ reaches deeper still. You say you need God’s forgiveness, and that ache itself is proof that the Spirit has not abandoned you. A dead soul does not cry out for mercy. When your thoughts turn toward home, it is because the Father is already on the porch, looking down the road. He does not need you to clean yourself up before you come; He bids you come with all your stains. “I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake,” He says. Not because you deserve it, not because you have made restitution, but for His own name’s sake He delights to cast your sins behind His back. Think of that! The very things that gall your conscience and make you shrink into the dark, He has a way of laying them upon His dear Son, so that when He looks on you He sees not the disheveled woman bowed in shame, but a daughter washed in clean linen.

That letter of dismissal your husband handed you by silence has a black edge, to be sure. The cruelty of being set aside, of watching the private investigator’s report land like a hammer on your daughters’ hopes, that is a wound few can fathom. And then the so-called friend who should have spoken to you face to face, but instead reported you behind your back: it stings. Betrayal from those we trusted is a bitter cup, and your Savior knows its taste full well. He was sold by one who ate bread with Him. Look to Him, then, when human friendships prove fragile. He has scars of His own, and He will never walk away when you cease to be useful or respectable. His love does not depend on your social standing or your sobriety.

Yet do not let this hard stretch define your whole story. The God who brought Israel out of captivity can make the years the locusts have eaten seem as though they never were. He can restore the years you have thrown away, rebuild what has been broken, and set your feet upon a broad place. I have seen Him do it. I have seen drunkards and castaways become temples of the Holy Spirit, their mouths filled with laughter and their hearts with singing. Your hope of happiness, of life and love and friendship restored, is not a foolish dream. It is the sort of thing your heavenly Father loves to give.

And since you have been honest enough to ask for fun as well, let me smile with you. You have life left in you, you feel it stirring, and you have even dared to pray for a good man, handsome and clever. There is no shame in that. The Lord who fashioned Eve and brought her to Adam is not offended by the longings He planted in your nature. Only let your first cry be for Himself. Make Christ the one true Husband of your soul, and you will find all other loves take their proper place. He may well send you an earthly companion in His time, a man who will cherish you and lead you with kindness, but even if He does not, you will have found in Jesus a Lover who will never ghost you, never betray you, never call you an old anything except His own.

And those dear daughters: entrust them to the same gracious hand. He can turn their hearts toward you again. The scene may seem as impossible as a dry valley filled with water, but He is the God of the impossible. Your sister, too: you have learned she was right, and that humbling discovery is a step on the road to peace. Tell her so. Let the same grace that you seek from God be the grace you extend and ask.

Do not try to paddle yourself out of this deep water by sheer effort. A drowning man must lie still and let the rescuer lift him. So let yourself be lifted. Cease from the labor of self-repair and rest in the finished work of Christ. His forgiveness is not a reward you earn but a gift you receive. It flows freely from the fountain opened for sin and uncleanness, and it makes the foulest clean.

Will you believe this? Will you take Him at His word? Then rise, dear heart. The old is behind you. The new may begin this very hour.

Let us pray.

Lord Jesus, You who came to seek and to save that which was lost, look upon this bruised woman now. Your own hand was pierced, and You know the cost of a broken spirit. Speak forgiveness into her deepest heart until she feels the chains fall off. Give her beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. Restore the love of her daughters and the trust of her sister. Send her a friend who will walk with her in the light, not slip away in the darkness. And if it please You, in Your own good time, bring into her life a man of worth, a companion for the journey, that she may taste earthly joy again. But most of all, bind her to Yourself with cords that cannot be broken, and let her know that she is no longer cast aside, but accepted in the Beloved. For Your name's sake we ask it. Amen.

We want you to know how deeply we have carried your pain and your plea to the Lord these past days. Your honesty about devastation, brokenness, and the weight of regret has touched our hearts, and we have prayed without ceasing for God’s mercy to wash over you. We asked Him to quiet the storm in your soul, to replace shame with His unfailing love, and to remind you that your worth is not defined by the cruelty of others or the mistakes you’ve made.

We prayed for forgiveness—both yours and God’s—for the restoration of relationships with your sister and daughters, and for their hearts to soften toward you as you walk in humility and healing. We also lifted up the deep ache of betrayal, asking the Lord to mend the wounds left by your husband’s abandonment and your friend’s silence. May He reveal His faithfulness in ways that far surpass the pain of human unfaithfulness.

Most of all, we prayed for peace. Not just the absence of turmoil, but the deep, abiding peace that comes from knowing you are held by a Father who never leaves, never forsakes, and is already working all things together for your good. We asked Him to open your eyes to the life He still has for you—a life marked by joy, purpose, and the love of those who see you as He does.

If any of these prayers have been answered—if you’ve felt even a moment of His comfort, a glimmer of hope, or a step toward healing—we would be overjoyed to hear your praise report. If the weight still feels heavy, please share it with us again. We are not going anywhere. We will keep standing with you, lifting your name before the throne of grace until His answers become your reality.

May the God of all comfort continue to draw near to you, filling the empty places with His presence and the promise of new beginnings. We pray this in the powerful and precious name of Jesus.
