I am the Prodigal. I’m trying to apologize and go back home. He stopped standing and won’t take my calls or respond to text. Please pray.
Husband won’t talk to me (Prodigal)

We hear your heart, dear sister, and we stand with you in this painful season of seeking restoration. The weight of regret and the ache of separation are heavy burdens, but we know that our God is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Your willingness to humble yourself and return home—despite the silence you’re facing—is a powerful testimony of God’s grace working in you.
First, we must address the reality of sin and repentance. The Prodigal Son’s story in Luke 15 is a beautiful picture of restoration, but it begins with true repentance. The son didn’t just say, “I’m sorry”; he acknowledged his sin against heaven and his father, counted himself unworthy, and returned with a contrite heart (Luke 15:18-19). If there are specific ways you’ve sinned against your husband—whether through words, actions, or unfaithfulness—we encourage you to name them before God and, if possible, before your husband. True repentance isn’t just sorrow over consequences; it’s a turning away from sin and toward God’s ways.
We also want to gently rebuke any patterns of sin that may have contributed to this brokenness. If there was unfaithfulness, emotional or physical, we must call it what it is: adultery or fornication, which grieves the heart of God (Hebrews 13:4). If there was neglect, dishonesty, or idolatry—putting something or someone above your marriage—we must repent of that as well. The Bible is clear that marriage is a covenant, not just a contract, and breaking it brings deep wounds (Malachi 2:14-16). But where sin abounds, grace abounds much more (Romans 5:20). God’s forgiveness is available to you, and His healing is possible for your marriage.
Your husband’s silence is painful, but we must trust God’s timing. Proverbs 15:1 reminds us, “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” Even if he isn’t responding now, continue to extend grace and patience. Don’t pressure him or manipulate the situation—let your actions and words reflect Christ’s love, not desperation. If he has hardened his heart, pray that God would soften it, as only He can change hearts (Ezekiel 36:26).
We also encourage you to seek godly counsel. If there are trusted pastors, mentors, or Christian counselors in your life, lean on them for wisdom and support. Proverbs 11:14 says, “Where there is no counsel, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety.” Restoration is possible, but it often requires humility, accountability, and time.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts for our sister who is seeking restoration in her marriage. Lord, You see the pain, the regret, and the longing in her heart. We ask that You would give her the strength to walk in true repentance, turning away from sin and toward Your ways. Soften her husband’s heart, Father, and help him to see her sincerity. If there are wounds that need healing, we ask that You would bind them up and bring reconciliation according to Your will.
Lord, we pray against the enemy’s lies that would tell her this brokenness is beyond repair. Remind her that You are the God of the impossible (Luke 1:37), and that nothing is too hard for You. Give her patience to wait on Your timing and wisdom to know how to move forward. If there are areas where she needs to grow—whether in humility, forgiveness, or trust—reveal them to her and help her to surrender them to You.
We also pray for protection over this marriage. Guard their hearts from bitterness, resentment, and further division. Help them both to see each other through Your eyes, as beloved children of God. If there are practical steps she needs to take—whether seeking counseling, fasting, or simply waiting in prayer—guide her, Lord.
Above all, we ask that You would be glorified in this situation. Whether You choose to restore this marriage or lead them in separate paths, let Your name be praised. Give our sister the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7) and the assurance that You are working all things together for good (Romans 8:28).
We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, the One who reconciles us to You and to one another. Amen.
Sister, we want to leave you with this encouragement: God is not done with your story. Even if your husband isn’t ready to talk, God is always ready to listen. Keep seeking Him, keep walking in obedience, and trust that He is at work—even in the silence. If you haven’t already, we urge you to surrender your marriage fully to Him, asking Him to do what only He can do. And remember, you are not alone. We are standing with you in prayer, believing that God’s best is yet to come.

We're here with you, sister, as you navigate this challenging time. We've been reflecting on your situation and want to share some more thoughts from our hearts.
Firstly, we want to remind you of God's unfailing love for you. In Jeremiah 31:3, He promises, "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness." Even in the silence you're facing, know that God is near, and His love for you is constant.
We also want to encourage you to keep seeking your husband with a gentle and humble heart. As it says in 1 Peter 3:4, "Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, but rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight." Continue to extend grace, patience, and kindness, just as you would want to receive if the roles were reversed.
Remember, too, that God is working in both of your lives. In Philippians 1:6, we read, "being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." Trust that God is at work in your husband's heart as well, even if you can't see it right now.
Lastly, we want to remind you to take care of yourself too. It's easy to pour all our energy into trying to fix a situation, but remember that you need strength and peace for your own journey as well. Make sure you're spending time in God's Word, in prayer, and in rest. As Jesus said in Matthew 11:28-29, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."
We're praying for you, sister, that God would give you peace, strength, and wisdom in this time. We believe that He is with you, guiding you every step of the way. Keep trusting in Him, and remember, you're not alone. We're standing with you, believing that God has a plan and a purpose in this, and that He will make all things work together for your good (Romans 8:28).
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
