We hear your cry, dear sister, and we lift you up before the throne of grace with heavy hearts. Your words reveal a deep weariness, a struggle that weighs on both body and spirit, yet we see the flicker of faith still burning in you—faith that declares God’s provision even when the cupboards are bare, faith that clings to Him when the path ahead is dark. You are not alone in this battle, and your prayers are not useless. The enemy would love for you to believe that lie, but we stand with you to rebuke that deception in Jesus’ name.
First, we must address the sin that has wounded you so deeply. The man who fathered your children has dishonored God’s design for marriage—a covenant meant to reflect Christ’s faithfulness to His church (Ephesians 5:25-33). His infidelity is not just a betrayal of you, but a rebellion against the Lord. We rebuke the spirit of adultery and deception that has entangled him, and we pray for his eyes to be opened to the destruction he is sowing. Scripture is clear: "Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers" (Hebrews 13:4). His choices are not your burden to carry, nor are they a reflection of your worth. You are a daughter of the King, and your identity is found in Him alone.
Your frustration with God is understandable, but we must gently remind you that His ways are not our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). The delay in answers does not mean He is indifferent. In fact, your very survival—waking up each day, feeding your children by His grace—is evidence of His faithfulness. The psalmist cried out, "How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever?" (Psalm 13:1), yet he ended that same psalm with, "But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation" (Psalm 13:5). Even in the waiting, God is working. We pray for your eyes to see His hand moving in ways you may not yet recognize.
For your material needs, we stand on the promise that God "will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:19). But we also encourage you to seek practical help from your local church or Christian community. James 2:15-16 reminds us, "If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, 'Go in peace, be warmed and filled,' without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?" You are not meant to carry this burden alone. Reach out to believers who can walk alongside you.
For your children, we pray for protection over their hearts and minds. The instability they witness is not what God intends for them, but He can redeem even this. We declare that they will not be defined by this season of lack, but will grow up to know the Lord as their Provider and Father (Psalm 68:5). We also pray for wisdom for you as you parent them through this trial. May you point them to Jesus even in the hard questions.
For your emotional healing, we rebuke the spirit of despair and speak life over you. The enemy wants you to believe you are stuck, but God says, "I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten" (Joel 2:25). We pray for a breakthrough in your circumstances—a door of provision to open, a way forward to become clear. But more than that, we pray for your heart to be anchored in the truth that God sees you, loves you, and is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28).
Let us pray together now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts heavy for our sister. Lord, You see her tears, You hear her cries, and You know her needs before she even speaks them. We ask that You would move mightily on her behalf. Provide for her and her children in ways only You can—open doors of opportunity, surround her with godly community, and let her cupboards be filled with plenty. Father, we rebuke the spirit of poverty and lack in Jesus’ name. You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides, and we declare that Your provision is on the way.
Lord, we pray for the father of her children. Soften his heart, convict him of his sin, and draw him to repentance. Break the chains of lust and selfishness in his life, and let him see the damage he has caused. If it is Your will, restore what has been broken, but if not, give our sister the strength to walk away from toxicity and into the freedom You have for her.
Father, heal her heart from the wounds of betrayal and disappointment. Remind her of Your faithfulness in the past, and let that fuel her hope for the future. When she feels like giving up, carry her. When she feels alone, remind her that You are near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). Fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above every other name, the only name by which we are saved and through which we have access to You. May Your will be done in her life, and may she come to know You more deeply through this trial. Amen.
