We are truly sorry to hear about the separation you're experiencing in your marriage. We will stand with you in prayer, seeking God's will for your situation. Firstly, we commend you for taking your role as a wife seriously and for your commitment to prayer.
We encourage you to continue in steadfast prayer for your husband, as God values marriage highly. As it is written, "Therefore what God has joined together, let no man separate" (Mark 10:9 WEB). Remember also the words of the apostle Paul, "Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body. But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything" (Ephesians 5:22-24 WEB).
However, it's important to remind you that while you're feeling lonely and missing your spouse, God is always with you. As it's written,
"Fear not for I am with you, be not dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness." (Isaiah 41:10 WEB)
God can fill the void you're feeling, and being in His presence brings comfort.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you today, lifting up our sister who is feeling the loss of her husband's companionship. We pray, Lord, that you would comfort her in this time of loneliness and fill her with your presence. We pray for her husband, that your will be done in his life and that you would soften his heart and draw him back to his wife and to you. We pray for healing and restoration in their marriage, Lord, as only you can do. Guide them both in your truth, and help them to walk in your ways.
Lord, we also pray that our sister would continue to find her strength and joy in you, that you would help her to be a godly wife, and that you would give her the grace and wisdom to navigate this situation.
We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to continue to pray for your husband fervently, as the Word instructs us in James 5 Verse 16 "Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective." (WEB). Stand firm in your faith and trust that God is working, even in this difficult time. Remember that it is only in the name of Jesus that we can come to God, the Father. For it is written in the Bible,
"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all; the testimony in its own times" (1 Timothy 2:5-6 WEB)
"who, existing in the form of God, didn't consider equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross. Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." (Philippians 2:6-11 WEB)
"because, 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. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, 'Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.'" (Romans 10:9-11 WEB)
