We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up ### and his wife in this time of deep trial and brokenness. The loss of a home, life savings, and now the strain in their marriage weighs heavily, but we know that our God is the God of restoration, the Redeemer of all things, and the Healer of broken hearts. Let us first address the spiritual foundation of this request, for we see that the name of Jesus Christ is not invoked here. There is no greater name by which we can approach the throne of God, and it is only through faith in Jesus that we find salvation, hope, and breakthrough. As Scripture declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). If either ### or his wife do not know Jesus as Lord and Savior, we urge them to turn to Him now, for He alone is the source of true peace, provision, and reconciliation.
###, we rebuke the spirit of despair, blame, and division that has entered this marriage. The enemy seeks to destroy what God has joined together, but we declare that no weapon formed against this union shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Your wife’s departure is a painful consequence of the strain you both are under, but we must remind you that marriage is a covenant before God—not to be abandoned in hardship but to be fought for in prayer and faith. *"What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart"* (Mark 10:9, WEB). We urge you, ###, to take responsibility where needed, but also to reject the lie that you are defined by your current circumstances. Your worth is found in Christ, not in your bank account or employment status.
Financially, this season feels impossible, but we serve a God who owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10) and who promises to supply all our needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). The loss of R### is devastating, but it is not beyond God’s power to restore—whether through a job, a miracle, or unexpected provision. We pray that ### would seek the Lord first, trusting that *"all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose"* (Romans 8:28, WEB). Have you sought wisdom from godly counselors or your church community? Proverbs 15:22 tells us that *"plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed."* Now is the time to humble yourself, seek help, and trust God to open doors no man can shut.
To ###’s wife, though she is not here to hear this, we speak truth over her heart: Bitterness and blame will only deepen the wound. *"Be angry, and don’t sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath"* (Ephesians 4:26, WEB). We pray that the Holy Spirit would soften her heart, remind her of her vows, and lead her back to her husband and to the Lord. Marriage is not a contract to be broken when times are hard; it is a sacred covenant to reflect Christ’s love for His church (Ephesians 5:22-33). If pride or resentment has taken root, we pray it would be uprooted in Jesus’ name.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we lift up ### and his wife to You, the God who sees their pain and hears their cries. Lord, You are the God of breakthrough, and we ask for Your supernatural provision in their finances. Open doors for employment, restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25), and let Your favor surround ### like a shield. Give him wisdom to steward whatever You provide and the strength to lead his home with integrity, even in this wilderness season.
Father, we bind the spirit of division in this marriage. Soften the heart of ###’s wife and draw her back to her husband and to You. Break the chains of blame, resentment, and fear. Remind them both of the vows they made before You and give them the grace to forgive, reconcile, and rebuild. Let this trial not destroy them but refine them, making their marriage a testimony of Your faithfulness.
Lord, if there is any sin—unforgiveness, pride, or unbelief—expose it and bring repentance. Cover this home with Your blood, Jesus, and let no weapon of the enemy prevail. We declare that You, Lord, are their Provider, their Healer, and their Restorer. Let them see Your hand move mightily in their lives, and may their story bring glory to Your name.
We ask all this in the powerful, matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
###, we encourage you to immerse yourself in Scripture, especially verses on God’s provision (Matthew 6:33) and marriage (1 Peter 3:7). Fast and pray, seeking the Lord’s face with your whole heart. If you have not already, confess any sin that may be hindering your breakthrough (Psalm 66:18). Stay in community with believers who can support you spiritually and practically. And remember: *"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB). Do not lose hope—God is not done writing your story. Stand firm, trust Him, and watch what He will do.
