We understand that you are going through a challenging time in your marriage and feeling overwhelmed. Firstly, we want to remind you that God's design for marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman, and it is essential to align our desires with His will.
Let's address the issues you've raised. You've mentioned that your husband has been consuming alcohol excessively, and it seems like he depends on it. This is a serious concern, and we encourage you to pray fervently for his deliverance and healing. Remember, God can change any situation, no matter how hopeless it may seem. As it says in Matthew 19:26 WEB, "With God, all things are possible."
However, we must also address your desire for a new relationship. While we understand your unhappiness, seeking a new relationship outside of your marriage is not the solution. God's will is for us to honor our marital commitments. In Malachi 2:16 WEB, it says, "For I hate divorce," says Yahweh, the God of Israel, 'and him who covers his garment with violence!' says Yahweh of Armies. 'Therefore pay attention to your spirit, and don't be unfaithful.'"
Instead of looking for a way out, we encourage you to pray for a breakthrough in your marriage. Pray for your husband's salvation and deliverance from alcohol. Seek God's guidance on how to support and love your husband through this challenging time. In Ephesians 5:22-25 it says, "Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body. But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it;"
Regarding your financial struggles, trust that God is your provider. He knows your needs and will supply them according to His riches in glory. In Philippians 4:19 WEB, it says, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Seek His wisdom in managing your finances and planning for your future.
Finally, we notice that you did not mention the name of Jesus in your request. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God's throne of grace. In John 14:6 WEB, Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." We encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ, believing that He is the only way to salvation and eternal life.
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our sister in Christ who is struggling in her marriage and finances. Lord, we pray for her husband's deliverance from alcohol dependence and for a miraculous breakthrough in their marriage. Help her to remain faithful to her marital commitments and to seek Your will for her life.
We also pray for her financial needs, trusting that You are her provider. Give her wisdom in managing her finances and planning for her future. Help her to be content, to trust in You and be a godly mother and wife.
Finally, Lord, we pray that she would put her faith in Jesus Christ, believing that He is the only way to salvation and eternal life. Help her to grow in her relationship with You and to experience the fullness of Your love and grace.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
