We lift you and your marriage before the Lord, knowing that He is the God of restoration, the One who heals broken hearts and binds up wounds. Your love for your husband and your desire to see your marriage restored reflect the heart of Christ, who longs for reconciliation and unity. We stand with you in prayer, believing that God can turn this time of cleaning out a house into a divine opportunity for cleansing and renewal in your marriage.
The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that you might have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). Your marriage is under attack, but the Lord is greater than any scheme of the devil. He can soften your husband’s heart and open his eyes to the love and commitment you share. Remember, "What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart" (Mark 10:9). Your marriage is a covenant before God, and He is faithful to honor His promises when we seek Him with all our hearts.
We also encourage you to walk in wisdom and grace during this time. Proverbs 15:1 reminds us, "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." Let your words be seasoned with salt, full of grace, and let the Holy Spirit guide your steps. Colossians 4:6 says, "Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one." Trust that God will give you the right words—or the strength to remain silent—when needed. Your actions and attitude should reflect Christ’s love, not manipulation or desperation. "Don’t be anxious for anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God" (Philippians 4:6).
At the same time, we must acknowledge that true restoration can only happen when both spouses are surrendered to Christ. If your husband is not walking with the Lord, your greatest weapon is prayer. Pray that the Holy Spirit would convict his heart and draw him into a deeper relationship with Jesus. "The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9). Your husband’s heart is in God’s hands, and He is able to do far more than we could ever ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20).
We also urge you to examine your own heart. Are there areas where you need to seek forgiveness or extend forgiveness? Bitterness or resentment can hinder God’s work in your marriage. "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you" (Ephesians 4:32). Ask the Lord to reveal any unforgiveness or sin in your life so that you can be fully surrendered to His will.
Lastly, we want to remind you that your hope is not in your husband’s response but in the Lord. Even if your husband’s heart remains hardened for now, God is still good, and He is still working. Trust in His timing and His plan. "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11). Your marriage may be broken, but it is not beyond God’s redemption.

Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this sister and her marriage. Lord, You are the God who restores, who heals, and who makes all things new. We ask that You would move powerfully in her husband’s heart during this time. Soften his heart, Lord, and remind him of the love and commitment he once had. Break down any walls of pride, bitterness, or hardness that have built up. Open his eyes to see the value of his marriage and the beauty of Your design for his life.
Lord, we pray for wisdom for our sister. Guide her steps and her words. Let her speech be filled with Your grace and truth. Give her the discernment to know when to speak and when to be silent. Fill her with Your peace, Lord, so that she does not act out of fear or desperation but out of trust in You.
We rebuke the spirit of division that has come against this marriage. Satan, we command you to flee in the name of Jesus. You have no authority here. This marriage belongs to God, and He is fighting for it. Lord, we ask that You would bind up every wound and restore what has been broken. Let Your love flow between this husband and wife, drawing them closer to You and to each other.
Father, if there is any sin in either of their lives that has given the enemy a foothold, we ask that You would reveal it. Bring conviction and repentance where it is needed. Cleanse them, Lord, and make them vessels of Your honor.
We declare that this marriage will not end in defeat but in victory. We speak life, restoration, and unity over it. Let Your will be done, Lord, and let Your name be glorified through this situation. We trust You, Father, and we thank You in advance for the miracles You are about to do.
In the mighty and precious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
