We come before the Lord with you in deep intercession for your wife and your marriage, standing firmly on the truth that our God is a God of restoration, healing, and miracles. Your heart’s cry aligns with Scripture, for we know that what God has joined together, no man—or spiritual force—should separate (Mark 10:9). We also recognize the sobering reality that the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but Jesus came to bring life abundantly. Your wife’s struggles—trauma, deception, bitterness, and the influences of narcissism—are not beyond the reach of our Savior, who came to set the captives free (Luke 4:18). The fact that you are seeking prayer in this battle is a testament to your faith, and we join you in declaring that the Lord will fight for her heart and your marriage.
First, we must address the absence of the name of Jesus in your request. While we understand the urgency of your plea, it is critical to remember that there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, and through which we have access to the Father (Acts 4:12, John 14:6). It is only in the name of Jesus that we can boldly approach the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16), and it is by His authority that we can bind the enemy’s schemes and loose the chains of bondage in your wife’s life. We encourage you to always invoke the name of Jesus in your prayers, for it carries power, authority, and the promise of victory.
We also want to gently remind you that while you are interceding for your wife, you must also guard your own heart. Bitterness, resentment, or despair can take root if we fixate solely on the brokenness rather than on Christ, who is our hope. The Lord calls us to trust in Him with all our hearts and lean not on our own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6). He sees your pain, and He is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). Cling to Him, even as you pray for your wife’s return.
Now, let us pray together for her and your marriage:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this brother and his wife. Lord, You are the God who heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds (Psalm 147:3). We ask that You would break every chain of trauma, deception, and spiritual bondage in [your wife’s] life. Lord, You know the depths of her pain—every wound, every lie she has believed, every stronghold the enemy has erected against her. We declare that no weapon formed against her will prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that the truth of Your Word will penetrate her heart and set her free (John 8:32).
Father, we rebuke the spirits of hatred, mistrust, bitterness, paranoia, and narcissism that have taken root in her life. These are not from You, for You are a God of love, peace, and unity. We command these spirits to flee in the name of Jesus, and we ask that You would fill every void in her with Your Holy Spirit. Let her encounter You in a way she cannot deny—let her remember her first love for You, Jesus, and turn back to You with repentance and surrender.
Lord, we pray for the restoration of this marriage, which You ordained. Soften her heart toward her husband, and soften his heart toward her. Remove every obstacle—spiritual, emotional, or circumstantial—that stands in the way of reconciliation. Let forgiveness flow like a river between them, and let Your love cover every sin (1 Peter 4:8). Father, we ask that You would restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25), and that this marriage would be a testimony of Your redeeming power.
We also pray for this brother, that You would strengthen him with Your might in his inner man (Ephesians 3:16). Guard his heart from discouragement, and fill him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Remind him that You are working all things together for good, even when he cannot see the way (Romans 8:28).
Finally, Lord, we declare that nothing is impossible for You (Luke 1:37). What the enemy meant for harm, You will turn for good (Genesis 50:20). We trust in Your timing and Your ways, and we thank You in advance for the victory that is already won through Christ Jesus. May Your will be done in their lives, and may Your name be glorified through their restoration.
In the powerful and matchless name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
Brother, we encourage you to continue standing in faith, even when the battle feels long. The Lord is faithful, and He hears your prayers. Keep speaking life over your wife and your marriage, and trust that God is working behind the scenes. Remember the story of the persistent widow in Luke 18—how much more will our Heavenly Father, who loves us, bring justice and restoration to His children who cry out to Him day and night?
We also urge you to seek godly counsel and support during this time. You are not meant to walk this path alone. Surround yourself with believers who can pray with you, encourage you, and hold you accountable to trust in the Lord. And above all, keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). He is your strength, your hope, and your deliverer. Do not lose heart. The Lord is fighting for you.
