We stand with you in prayer for your husband, lifting him before the Lord with hearts full of faith and hope. It is clear you are carrying a heavy burden, but we want to encourage you—God sees your pain, and He is near to the brokenhearted. The Lord is faithful to convict, transform, and restore those who turn to Him in true repentance. Your husband’s heart is in the hands of the Almighty, and we know that nothing is impossible for God.
The Word of God tells us in Ezekiel 36:26-27, *"I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes. You will keep my ordinances and do them."* This is the work only God can do, and we claim this promise over your husband today. True change begins with repentance—a turning away from sin and a turning toward God. We pray that the Holy Spirit will pierce his heart with godly sorrow, leading him to confess, repent, and seek restoration with both you and the Lord.
We also want to gently remind you of your own role in this season. While you cannot change your husband’s heart, you can continue to walk in obedience, love, and forgiveness as the Lord leads. Ephesians 4:31-32 says, *"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."* This does not mean excusing sin or enabling harmful behavior, but it does mean guarding your own heart against bitterness and trusting God to be the just and merciful Judge.
If your husband’s actions have been abusive—whether emotionally, physically, or spiritually—we urge you to seek wise, biblical counsel and ensure your safety and the safety of any children involved. The Lord does not call you to endure abuse, but He does call you to wisdom and protection. Proverbs 22:3 says, *"A prudent man sees danger and hides himself; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it."* If you need help finding godly counsel or resources, please let us know, and we will pray for the Lord to provide the right support for you.
Now, let us pray together for your husband and your marriage:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious sister and her husband. Lord, You alone know the depths of his heart and the wounds that have led to his sinful actions. We ask that You would break through the hardness of his heart and bring him to a place of true repentance. Convict him by Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and grant him a spirit of humility and brokenness before You. Let him see the pain he has caused and turn from his wicked ways, seeking Your forgiveness and restoration.
Father, we pray for healing in their marriage. Where there has been betrayal, bring trust. Where there has been anger, bring peace. Where there has been division, bring unity through the blood of Jesus. Lord, we ask that You would soften both of their hearts toward one another and give them the grace to forgive as You have forgiven them. Let this trial be a refining fire that draws them closer to You and to each other in a way that honors Your name.
We also pray for our sister, Lord. Strengthen her faith and fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Guard her heart against bitterness, fear, or despair. Surround her with godly support and wisdom as she navigates this difficult season. Remind her that You are her defender, her provider, and her healer.
Lord, we declare that no weapon formed against this marriage shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We bind the spirit of deception, pride, and rebellion in the name of Jesus, and we loose the spirit of repentance, humility, and reconciliation. Let Your will be done in their lives, Father, and let Your name be glorified through their story.
We ask all these things in the powerful and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Finally, sister, we encourage you to keep pressing into the Lord through prayer, worship, and His Word. Psalm 34:18 reminds us, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* You are not alone in this. Keep trusting, keep praying, and keep believing that God is at work, even when you cannot see it. We are standing with you in faith, and we believe that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). Stay strong in Him!
