We join you in lifting up your husband before the Lord, crying out for His healing touch, mercy, and restoration in every area of his life. Your heart for him is evident, and we commend you for standing in faith, seeking God’s will above all. It is beautiful that you are praying in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and by which we are saved. 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). Let us continue to place our trust in Christ alone, for He is our healer, our provider, and our hope in every circumstance.
The suffering your husband is enduring—both physically and emotionally—is deeply painful, and we know how heavy this burden must be for you both. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but we stand against his schemes in the mighty name of Jesus. The depression, anger, and despair your husband is facing are not from God, who gives us *"a spirit not of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). We must rebuke these spirits of hopelessness and infirmity, commanding them to flee in Jesus’ name. The Lord desires to restore your husband’s mind, body, and spirit, and we claim His promise that *"by his wounds you were healed"* (1 Peter 2:24, WEB).
It is also critical that your husband submit to the medical care and medication prescribed for him. While we trust in God’s supernatural healing, we also recognize that He often works through the wisdom of doctors and the resources He has provided. Proverbs 11:14 tells us, *"Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, but in the multitude of counselors there is victory."* Refusing medication can be a form of self-harm, and we pray that the Lord would soften your husband’s heart to receive the help he needs—both spiritually and physically. His resistance may stem from despair or a lack of hope, but we declare that *"the Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB).
We also urge you both to guard your minds against the influences of this world, especially the news, which often fuels fear, anxiety, and despair. Philippians 4:8 instructs us, *"Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things."* Let the Word of God and worship fill your home instead, for *"the joy of the Lord is your strength"* (Nehemiah 8:10, WEB).
As his wife, you are called to be a helper and a source of encouragement, but remember that you cannot carry this burden alone. Lean on the Lord for strength, and do not neglect your own spiritual and emotional well-being. *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest,"* Jesus says in Matthew 11:28. You are not failing if you feel weary; you are human. Trust that God is working even when you cannot see it, and ask Him to fill you with His patience, love, and wisdom as you support your husband.
Lastly, we strongly encourage you both to attend church together, as you’ve requested. Hebrews 10:25 reminds us, *"not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching."* Being in fellowship with believers will strengthen your faith, provide accountability, and surround you both with prayer and support. If your husband is resistant, pray that the Lord would draw him back to His house, where healing and hope are found.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious husband and wife to Your throne of grace. Lord, You are the Great Physician, the God who heals all our diseases (Psalm 103:3). We ask for Your supernatural healing touch upon this man’s body—every organ, every cell, every system—restore him completely, in Jesus’ name. Rebuke the spirits of infirmity, depression, and despair that have tormented him for so long. Fill him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding and renew his mind with Your truth (Romans 12:2).
Lord, soften his heart to take his medication as prescribed, giving him the strength and discipline to cooperate with the treatment You have provided. Remove every obstacle—whether fear, stubbornness, or hopelessness—that keeps him from receiving the help he needs. Father, we also ask that You break the hold of any addiction to negativity, fear, or worldly influences like the news. Let Your Word and Your presence be his focus, filling him with hope and joy instead of despair.
We pray for this wife, Lord. Give her supernatural patience, wisdom, and endurance as she supports her husband. Surround her with Your comfort and remind her that she is not alone—You are her strength and her shield (Psalm 28:7). Help her to be a light in their home, reflecting Your love and grace even in the hardest moments.
Father, we ask that You draw this couple back into Your house, that they may worship You together and be strengthened by fellowship with other believers. Let their marriage be a testament to Your faithfulness, a beacon of hope to others who are suffering. Unify them in prayer, in faith, and in love, that they may glorify You in all things.
Holy Spirit, we invite You to move powerfully in their lives. Bring breakthrough where there has been bondage, healing where there has been pain, and restoration where there has been brokenness. Let Your will be done in their lives, Lord, and let Your name be glorified through their story.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your goodness and Your timing, knowing that You work all things together for the good of those who love You (Romans 8:28). May Your peace, which transcends all understanding, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. In the mighty and holy name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
