Beloved of All
Your request has been heard and we are joining you in prayer before the Lord for your needs and for your husband.
We pray first for your housing and financial burden. You shared about the ### dollars owed from the eviction, staying with your sister for now, and needing a place to stay before she moves in September. We ask God our Father to provide for your daily needs, to open a door for safe and stable housing, and to give you wisdom and help as you seek to meet this debt in an honest and responsible way. We pray that you would know His provision and peace, and that He would guide you to faithful help and counsel in your local church as you look for work, steward what He provides, and make plans for the months ahead. God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, and we ask Him to show His power and mercy in your situation according to His perfect will.
We also lift up your husband for deliverance, as you asked. You spoke with humility about seeing his hurt and his struggles with drugs, alcohol, gambling and lust. These things bring deep harm to a person, to a marriage, and to a family, and they do not please God. We pray that God would bring him to repentance and to salvation through Jesus Christ alone, for there is no other name by which we are saved. We pray that the Lord would break the power of addiction and set him free, that He would cleanse his heart from lust and give him a love for purity and self control, and that He would deliver him from the love of money and the deceit of gambling. We ask that God would bring godly men around him for accountability, and help him to seek real help for these struggles.
We thank God for the humility you showed in saying you have often thought only of yourself and not of what he is going through. Scripture calls wives to a gentle and quiet spirit, to meekness and propriety and respect, and calls husbands to love and honor their wives. In that same way Scripture teaches that the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the Church, and that the wife is to submit to her husband as unto the Lord, and that neither should deprive the other except by consent. It also commands that a wife not depart from her husband, and if she does depart, to remain unmarried or be reconciled. These commands are given for our good and to protect marriage from the schemes of the enemy, who would use separation and hardness of heart to drive a husband and wife further apart and into greater sin. We encourage you, as God gives you strength, to pursue gentleness and meekness rather than harshness, to speak the truth in love, and to seek peace and reconciliation where it is possible, while also seeking wise and safe counsel from mature believers in your church about how to love your husband well and not enable sin.
We pray for you as well, that God would strengthen you, guard your heart from bitterness, and help you to love your husband with a Christlike love that desires his holiness and healing more than comfort alone. May the Lord give you discernment, endurance, and hope, and may He be glorified in your marriage as you both turn to Him.
Let us pray together. Father in heaven, we come to You in the name of Jesus Christ, Your Son, who alone saves. Have mercy on this sister and her husband. Provide for her housing and financial need before September, give her wisdom for each step, and help her to trust You day by day. Have mercy on her husband and deliver him from drugs, alcohol, gambling and lust. Bring him to repentance, wash him clean by the blood of Jesus, and make him a new man who walks in purity and faithfulness. Heal what is broken between them, teach them to honor one another as You have commanded, and keep them from the traps of the enemy. Give them a church family that will walk with them, speak truth, and offer real help. We ask this in the name of Jesus our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Beloved of All
Your honesty and your softened heart toward your husband are precious to the Lord, and your trust that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think is right and biblical. He sees your need for housing and for provision for the debt you carry, and He sees your husband's deep struggles. Bringing both to Him in prayer is the right place to begin.
God has shown in Scripture that marriage is a lifelong covenant, a wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives, and His instruction is that a wife not depart from her husband and a husband not put away his wife. If a separation does occur, His call is to remain unmarried or to be reconciled. Where a believing wife has a husband who does not yet believe or who is not walking with the Lord, if he is willing to remain with her, she is not to leave him, for God can use her faithful, pure life to work in his heart and in the home, and the family is set apart in a special way through that believing presence. That is a reason to keep praying for reconciliation and for God to keep a door open for you to dwell together in a way that honors Him.
Scripture gives one simple and memorable rule for each partner. The wife is called to submit to her own husband as unto the Lord, and the husband is called to love his wife as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for it. God gave these because He knows the deepest needs of each heart. A wife most needs to know she is loved supremely and securely, as one cherished above all others. A husband most needs to know he is respected and honored in his role. When the husband shows that Christlike, self giving love, it becomes much easier for the wife to respect and support him, and when the wife shows that respectful support, it becomes much easier for the husband to love her well. When either side breaks its rule, the other finds its rule harder to keep, and the strain compounds. When both seek to keep their own rule before God, the home can become a place of great peace, and even prayers are helped.
This does not mean a wife follows her husband into sin. If he asks what would wound your conscience before God, you are not to obey that. A husband is called to be under the authority of Christ, and a wife's submission is as unto the Lord. Your calling is to live a chaste and reverent life before him, honoring him where you can in the Lord, while refusing what is contrary to God's Word.
You have already taken a beautiful step in seeing beyond your own burden to your husband's pain. The Lord calls husbands to honor their wives as the weaker vessel, to watch over and shield them, and it is clear your husband is not able to do that right now because he is bound by so many chains. Drugs, alcohol, gambling, and lust are cruel masters that promise relief and then deepen the hurt inside. Only Jesus can break those bonds and bring a new heart. So continue to pray for his deliverance, that God would open his eyes to his need for Christ, bring him to repentance, and set him free. Pray too that God would guard your own heart from bitterness and help you show due kindness and faithfulness within the marriage as God enables you, withholding nothing that belongs to the covenant except by mutual agreement for a time of prayer, as Scripture teaches.
For your housing need, ask the Lord for both provision and wisdom. He knows you need a place to stay before September and that you owe a large debt you cannot pay on your own. Ask Him to provide work, counsel, and practical help, and to guide you to trustworthy believers and local resources who can help you make a plan for the debt, for budgeting, and for finding a safe and godly place to live. If you remain married, seek housing together only in a way that keeps you faithful to the Lord and does not place you in danger or in compromise. If you must live apart for a time for safety or stewardship, do not pursue another relationship, but remain faithful to your covenant and open to reconciliation as God works.
May the Lord lift your burden of anxiety, provide for your daily bread, and show you His power to do more than you can ask. May He have mercy on your husband, deliver him from every addiction and from the power of lust, and draw him to salvation in Jesus Christ alone. And may He knit your hearts together in His love, so that you can walk together in a manner that honors Him.

I prayed for this request in Jesus Name.
We thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf and we are glad that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. We have been lifting you up these past days and continuing to bring your needs before the Lord.
We have been praying for your housing situation and the burden of the ### dollars you owe from the eviction, and for the Lord to make a way for you to have a safe and stable place to stay before your sister moves to her new place in September. We have also been praying for your husband and for his deliverance from addiction to drugs, alcohol, gambling and lust, and for healing for his emotional and mental pain. We were touched by your humility in looking beyond your own struggle to intercede for him and to ask God to work in his heart.
We take comfort that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think according to Eph 3:20, and that He will supply all our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus according to Phil 4:19, and that whom the Son sets free is free indeed according to John 8:36. We pray in Jesus Name that the Lord would provide for your financial need, open doors for housing that you have not yet seen, and bring complete deliverance and freedom to your husband. We ask in Jesus Name that God would draw both of you closer to Himself and give you peace and strength as you trust Him.
If your request has been answered, please post a praise report and let us all know so we can rejoice with you. If your request does not yet seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We are here to keep standing with you.
