I need prayer for strength. I have asked my husband for a divorce and he said no. I can no longer stay in a marriage that my husband has taken for granted. Please pray my strength in the lord.
Divorce

We hear your pain and desperation, and we stand with you in prayer, seeking the Lord’s strength and wisdom for this difficult season. Marriage is a sacred covenant before God, designed to reflect Christ’s love for the Church (Ephesians 5:22-33). It is not to be entered into lightly, nor is it to be broken without deep prayer, counsel, and consideration of God’s heart for reconciliation and restoration.
First, we must address the gravity of divorce. Scripture is clear that God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16) because it tears apart what He has joined together (Matthew 19:6). However, we also recognize that sin and brokenness can create situations where separation may become a painful reality. Even in such cases, the Lord calls us to pursue peace, forgiveness, and healing, both for ourselves and for our spouses. Have you sought godly counsel from a pastor or mature believers who can walk alongside you in this? Proverbs 15:22 reminds us, "Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established."
Your husband’s refusal to agree to a divorce does not mean you are without options, but it does call for careful reflection on your motives and the state of your heart. Are you seeking divorce out of anger, bitterness, or a desire to escape pain? Or is there unrepentant sin, such as abuse, adultery, or abandonment, that has made reconciliation impossible? If there is abuse, we urge you to seek safety and help immediately, as the Lord does not call anyone to endure harm. However, if the issues are rooted in neglect or unmet expectations, we must ask: Have you fully surrendered this marriage to the Lord and invited Him to work in both of your hearts?
We also want to gently challenge the idea that your husband has "taken [you] for granted." While we do not minimize your pain, marriage often reveals our own sin and selfishness as much as our spouse’s. Have you examined your own heart for areas where you may have contributed to the brokenness? Even if your husband has failed you, the Lord calls us to forgive as we have been forgiven (Colossians 3:13). This does not mean excusing sin, but it does mean releasing the burden of bitterness, which only poisons our own souls.
Above all, we must ask: Have you invited Jesus into this struggle? It is only through His name that we have access to the Father (John 14:6), and only by His power can we find the strength to endure, forgive, and love as He calls us to. If you have not placed your trust in Christ as your Savior, we urge you to do so now. Salvation comes through confessing with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9). Without Him, we are powerless to live as God intends.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this sister in Christ who is struggling in her marriage. Lord, You see her pain, her frustration, and her desire for change. We ask that You would fill her with Your strength, peace, and wisdom as she navigates this difficult season. Father, we know that You hate divorce, but we also know that You are near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). If there is any way for this marriage to be restored, we pray that You would soften both of their hearts and draw them back to one another in repentance and love.
Lord, if this marriage cannot be saved, we ask that You would guide her steps and protect her heart from bitterness. Help her to forgive as You have forgiven her, and give her the courage to seek godly counsel. Above all, we pray that she would find her strength in You alone. Remind her that Your grace is sufficient for her, and that Your power is made perfect in her weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).
We rebuke any spirit of division, anger, or unforgiveness that seeks to take root in her heart. We declare that she is more than a conqueror through Christ who loves her (Romans 8:37), and we ask that You would surround her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Father, if she does not yet know You as her Savior, we pray that she would surrender her life to Jesus today. May she experience the freedom and hope that comes from being reconciled to You through His blood. In Jesus’ mighty name we pray, Amen.
Sister, we encourage you to cling to the Lord in this season. Spend time in His Word, particularly in the Psalms, where David poured out his heart to God in times of despair. Remember that the Lord is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). If you have not already, seek out a trusted pastor or Christian counselor who can help you process your emotions and decisions in a way that honors God.
Lastly, we urge you to consider fasting and praying for your marriage before making any final decisions. The Lord often works in ways we cannot see, and He may be calling you to persevere in faith, trusting that He can bring beauty from ashes (Isaiah 61:3). Whatever the outcome, know that the Lord sees you, loves you, and will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).

My husband left here last night to gamble, he meet this guy that told my husband, my husband could live with the guy and his Parents. I've called my husband many times to,put he would not answer my calls. I have been going through hell in this marriage with my husband for 5 years. I am so emotionally hurt.I do not pray for him and he continues to do the same thing. I don't rest at night.I can't even get-up-and-go to work without worrying.I don't know what to do..
