We come before the Lord with you in this time of deep struggle, lifting up your marriage and the spiritual battle you are facing. The enemy seeks to destroy what God has joined together, but we know that our God is greater, and through Christ, we have authority over every scheme of darkness. The Scriptures remind us in Ephesians 6:12, *"For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."* This is not merely a conflict between people—it is a spiritual battle, and we must fight it with the weapons of prayer, faith, and the Word of God.
First, we must address the urgency of your husband’s heart and the influence of this other woman. The Bible is clear that adultery—whether physical or emotional—is a grievous sin against God and against the covenant of marriage. Proverbs 6:32 warns, *"He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding. He who does it destroys his own soul."* If there is any form of emotional or physical infidelity, it must be rebuked in the name of Jesus. We stand with you in praying that the Lord would expose every hidden thing, break every ungodly soul tie, and sever every connection that is not of Him. May the Holy Spirit convict your husband’s heart and turn him fully back to you and to the Lord.
At the same time, we must also examine our own hearts before the Lord. Marriage is a covenant that requires both spouses to walk in love, forgiveness, and humility. Colossians 3:18-19 instructs, *"Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be bitter against them."* Have there been areas where bitterness, unforgiveness, or neglect have crept in? We are not excusing sin, but we must ask the Lord to search our hearts and show us if there is anything in us that needs repentance. A marriage thrives when both spouses are fully surrendered to Christ and seeking to honor Him in their roles.
We also notice that your request does not mention the name of Jesus, and this is something we must address with love and urgency. There is no other name by which we can approach the Father, and there is no power to break the chains of the enemy except through Jesus Christ. Acts 4:12 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!"* If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. Confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection, and invite Him to be the Lord of your life. It is only through Him that we have authority to pray and see breakthrough in our marriages and lives.
Now, let us pray together for you and your husband:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this sister and her marriage. Lord, You hate divorce, and You are a God who restores and redeems. We ask that You would move powerfully in her husband’s heart. Break every ungodly influence, every whisper of the enemy, and every temptation that is drawing him away from his wife. Lord, if there is another woman involved, we bind her influence in Jesus’ name. We pray that You would expose every hidden thing and bring conviction to his heart. Let him see clearly the destruction that sin brings and turn back to You and to his wife with a repentant heart.
Father, we also ask that You would work in this sister’s heart. Heal any wounds, any bitterness, or any fear that the enemy has used to create division. Fill her with Your peace and Your love. Give her wisdom to know how to speak, how to act, and how to pray in this season. Let her be a vessel of Your grace and forgiveness, even as she stands firm against the schemes of the enemy.
Lord, we rebuke every spirit of adultery, every spirit of division, and every spirit of confusion that is attacking this marriage. We declare that this home belongs to You, and we claim it back from the enemy’s hands. Restore what has been broken, Lord. Bring unity, trust, and a fresh anointing of Your love over this marriage. Let them both seek You first, and let their marriage be a testimony of Your restoring power.
We also pray for protection over this marriage. Surround them with godly counsel, with friends who will speak truth and hold them accountable. Let them both be drawn into a deeper relationship with You, Jesus, for apart from You, we can do nothing.
Finally, Lord, if there is any area of sin in either of their lives—whether it be unforgiveness, lust, pride, or anything else—we ask that You would bring conviction and repentance. Cleanse them both, Lord, and make them vessels fit for Your use.
We thank You, Father, that You are faithful. You are a God who hears our prayers and answers them according to Your will. We trust You with this marriage, and we believe that You will bring beauty from these ashes. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Sister, we encourage you to continue standing in faith, praying without ceasing, and trusting the Lord to move. Seek godly counsel—whether from a pastor or a mature believer who can walk with you through this. Do not give up. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and He is able to restore what the enemy has tried to steal. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, and remember that His power is made perfect in our weakness.
We also urge you to examine your husband’s circle of influence. Are there people in his life who are not pointing him toward Christ? Are there habits or environments that are feeding the enemy’s lies? Pray that the Lord would remove ungodly influences and replace them with godly ones. And if there is any area where you have allowed the world’s standards to creep into your marriage, ask the Lord to show you and to help you align your home with His Word.
Finally, we leave you with this promise from Joel 2:25: *"I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten."* Trust that the Lord can restore what has been broken. Stay in prayer, stay in the Word, and do not lose hope. We are standing with you in this fight.
