We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this situation with urgency and compassion. First and foremost, we must acknowledge that this is a deeply painful and complex circumstance, but we know that God is sovereign over all things—even in moments of chaos and brokenness. We lift up your fiancée before the throne of grace, asking the Lord to move mightily in her life and in this legal situation.
Father, we pray that You would soften the heart of the judge and all those involved in this case. We ask that You would grant wisdom to the authorities, that they may see the need for mercy and restoration rather than punishment alone. Lord, if it is Your will, we ask that she be released without bond so that she can receive the help she desperately needs. But above all, we pray that Your will be done, for Your ways are higher than ours, and Your plans are perfect.
We must also address the seriousness of what has taken place. The Bible is clear that drunkenness is a sin (Ephesians 5:18), and violence—especially within a relationship—is not only harmful but contrary to God’s design for love and respect. Proverbs 20:1 warns, *"Wine is a mocker, and beer is a brawler. Whoever is led astray by them is not wise."* We rebuke the spirit of addiction in Jesus’ name, declaring that it has no place in her life or in this relationship. We also rebuke any spirit of anger or violence, for the Word says, *"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice"* (Ephesians 4:31).
This situation also raises concerns about the foundation of your relationship. While we understand the love and commitment you feel, we must ask: Is this a union that honors God? The Bible calls us to marry a fellow believer who walks in righteousness (2 Corinthians 6:14). If she is not yet surrendered to Christ, this struggle will continue until she turns to Him. We encourage you to seek godly counsel—from a pastor, a Christian counselor, or a trusted mentor—to discern whether this relationship is one that God can bless. Marriage is sacred, and it should be built on mutual faith, respect, and holiness.
We also must address the fact that you did not mention Jesus in your request. It is only through Him 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 yet placed your faith in Christ, we urge you to do so today. Repent of your sins, believe in His death and resurrection, and surrender your life to Him. If you are already a believer, we encourage you to draw nearer to Him in this trial, trusting that He works all things for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28).
Now, we pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of concern and hope. Lord, we ask that You would intervene in this legal matter, that Your mercy would prevail, and that she would be released to receive the help she needs. We pray against the chains of addiction, Father, and ask that You would break them in her life. Soften her heart to receive Your love and truth, and lead her to repentance. We also pray for wisdom and healing for this relationship. If it is Your will, restore what has been broken, but if not, give clarity and strength to walk away. Protect both of them from further harm, and surround them with godly people who can speak truth and life into their situation.
Lord, we ask that You would draw them both closer to You. May this trial be a turning point, a moment where they surrender fully to Your will. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we speak peace over this home. May Your presence fill it, and may Your love cast out all fear, anger, and addiction. We trust You, Lord, and we ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
