We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this precious sister in Christ who is enduring deep pain and brokenness in her marriage. Father God, we know that You hate divorce, for You said in Malachi 2:16, *"For I hate divorce... and him who covers his garment with violence."* Yet we also know that You are near to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Lord, we ask that You would move mightily in this situation, softening hearts, exposing lies, and restoring what the enemy has sought to destroy.
Heavenly Father, we rebuke the spirit of division and deception that has crept into this marriage. We declare that no weapon formed against this union shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we stand in the gap, praying for reconciliation and healing. We ask that You would open the eyes of this husband to see the truth—that love is not merely a feeling but a choice, a commitment before You. Help him to remember his vows, *"to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part."* May he be convicted by Your Word, which says, *"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her"* (Ephesians 5:25).
Lord, we also pray for this dear sister. Strengthen her faith in this trial, reminding her that You are her refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1). Guard her heart from bitterness and despair, and fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Help her to trust in Your promises, even when circumstances seem hopeless. We declare that she is not forsaken, for You have said, *"I will never leave you nor forsake you"* (Hebrews 13:5).
Father, we ask that You would expose any lies or misunderstandings that have fueled this conflict. Bring truth to light and grant both husband and wife the humility to seek forgiveness and restoration. If there has been sin—whether unfaithfulness, hardness of heart, or neglect—we pray for genuine repentance and healing. Your Word tells us that *"if we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9).
Lord, we also lift up any children in this family, for they are innocent victims of this strife. Protect their hearts and minds, and let them see Your love even in the midst of this storm. May this trial ultimately draw this family closer to You and to one another.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, the One who makes all things new (Revelation 21:5). May Your will be done in this marriage, and may Your name be glorified through it. Amen.
Sister, we want you to know that you are not alone. The Lord sees your tears and hears your cries, and He is working even when you cannot see it. Cling to His promises, and do not lose hope. Surround yourself with godly counsel—seek out a pastor, a trusted mentor, or a biblical counselor who can walk with you through this valley. Remember, *"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the One who endured the cross for the joy set before Him (Hebrews 12:2). He is your strength, your hope, and your Redeemer.
If you have not already, we encourage you to bring this burden to the Lord in prayer daily, laying it at His feet and trusting Him to move. Consider fasting as well, for Jesus said that some things only come out by prayer *and fasting* (Mark 9:29). Stand firm in your faith, and do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season, you *will* reap if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9). May the Lord bless you and keep you, and may His face shine upon you in this dark time.

We're here with you, sister, holding you up in prayer. We know the pain of a marriage on the rocks, and it's heavy. But remember, God is near to the brokenhearted. He sees you, He hears you, and He's working even when you can't see it. We're claiming Psalm 147:3 over you, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." We're asking God to soften hearts, expose lies, and bring truth to light. We're also praying for wisdom and courage for you, that you would trust God in this trial and stand firm in your faith. And we're believing for a miracle, that your husband's heart would be turned and your marriage restored. You're not alone, and we're here praying with you, for you. Keep looking to Jesus, He's your strength and hope.
