Marriage at an end. My wife wants a divorce, doesn’t love me, and she’s done.

Disciple of Prayer
We’ve been together for 10 years mainly a bad relationship, 4 kids, we were both emotionally and physically abusive towards each other. Emotionally unavailable. Both dealing with past traumas. We got away from God, but recently as I noticed our marriage was coming to an end I decided I needed to change, went to confession and been praying, for the change in me, and the restoration of our marriage, To be saved by God. I need a miracle. She says that she no longer feels anything towards me and doesn’t want to work on our marriage, today with the marriage counselor she said that she wanted a divorce and for me to stop trying. I put most of the blame on my shoulders understanding it took two of us to be here. However, I need you all to pray for me and my family. This is a huge dramatic shift for my kids' lives if the divorce does take place. We’re unable to talk with each other about anything of substance, she’s distant, and cold. She’s also refusing to do anything that involves God. So won’t go to church or a marriage retreat. I’m emotionally and physically exhausted. I need the Lord to take over and tell me what to do. Dear Lord, please let your will be done in my marriage. Take my life, my wife’s, and those of our children and give us your warmth and protection. Take over my life and my problems because I don’t know what to do.
 
We hear your heartbreak and desperation, and we stand with you before the throne of grace, lifting up your marriage, your family, and your weary soul. The pain you’re carrying is heavy, and the road ahead feels uncertain, but we serve a God who specializes in miracles—especially in the places where human strength has failed. Your honesty about the brokenness in your marriage, your own failings, and your wife’s hardened heart is a starting point for God’s healing. He sees the years of abuse, the emotional distance, and the trauma that has shaped both of you. He also sees your repentance, your desire for change, and your willingness to take responsibility. That is not overlooked.

First, we must address the reality of sin in this marriage—not to condemn, but to call it what it is so that true repentance and restoration can begin. The abuse you both inflicted on one another, whether emotional or physical, is not God’s design for marriage. Scripture is clear: *"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it"* (Ephesians 5:25). This love is sacrificial, patient, and kind—not harsh, retaliatory, or destructive. Likewise, *"Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord"* (Ephesians 5:22) is a call to respect and partnership, not a license for manipulation or coldness. The cycle of abuse you describe is a distortion of God’s plan, and it has left deep wounds on both of you. Forgiveness and healing are possible, but they require humility, accountability, and a willingness to change—something that, sadly, your wife is not yet open to.

Your wife’s refusal to engage in counseling, her rejection of God, and her demand for divorce are heartbreaking, but they are not the final word. We serve a God who softens hearts, who turns mourning into dancing, and who can do *"exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think"* (Ephesians 3:20). However, we must also acknowledge that God honors our free will, and if your wife is determined to walk away, there may come a point where you must surrender her to Him. That does not mean giving up hope, but it does mean releasing the outcome into His hands. Jesus Himself said, *"What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate"* (Matthew 19:6), but He also acknowledged that hardness of heart can lead to divorce (Matthew 19:8). This is a tension we hold in prayer, trusting God to work even in the midst of human brokenness.

Your children are at the forefront of this storm, and their hearts are tender and vulnerable. We pray fiercely for their protection, both emotionally and spiritually. Divorce will bring upheaval, but God can use even this pain to draw them closer to Himself. We ask the Lord to surround them with godly influences—mentors, family members, or friends who will speak truth and love into their lives. *"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18). May they know His nearness in a tangible way.

Your exhaustion is understandable, but we encourage you to cling to the promise that *"those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint"* (Isaiah 40:31). This season is not the end of your story. Even if your marriage does not survive, God is not done with you. He is shaping you into a man of greater faith, deeper dependence, and unwavering hope. But for now, we must pray specifically for your wife’s heart to be softened. Only God can break through the walls she has built, and only He can restore what has been broken.

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this marriage and this family to You. Lord, You see the pain, the brokenness, and the years of hurt that have led to this moment. We ask You to intervene in a way that only You can. Soften this wife’s heart, Lord. Break through the hardness and the coldness. Remind her of the vows she made before You, and stir in her a desire to seek You and Your will for her life. If it is Your will, restore this marriage. Heal the wounds, mend the trust, and teach both of them to love as You love—selflessly, patiently, and sacrificially.

Father, we ask for Your protection over these children. Guard their hearts from bitterness, fear, and confusion. Let them see Your love and faithfulness even in the midst of this storm. Provide godly role models and mentors who will speak life into them. Give them a hunger for You, Lord, and let them experience Your peace that surpasses all understanding.

For this husband, Lord, we ask for strength. He is weary, but You are his refuge. Renew his spirit, give him wisdom, and help him to trust You with the outcome of this marriage. If restoration is not Your plan, prepare him for the road ahead. Help him to forgive, to release bitterness, and to walk in Your grace. Teach him to lead his children with love and patience, pointing them always to You.

Lord, we declare that nothing is impossible for You. You are the God who raises the dead, who heals the brokenhearted, and who makes all things new. We ask for a miracle in this marriage, but we also surrender the outcome to You. Let Your will be done, and let Your name be glorified in every circumstance.

We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, the One who died to redeem us from every sin and who lives to intercede for us. Amen.

In the days ahead, we encourage you to seek godly counsel—whether through a pastor, a Christian counselor, or a trusted mentor who can walk with you through this season. You do not have to carry this burden alone. Surround yourself with believers who will pray for you, hold you accountable, and remind you of God’s promises. Continue to pray for your wife, not with bitterness or manipulation, but with a heart that genuinely desires her good and her relationship with God. And most importantly, draw near to the Lord yourself. Spend time in His Word, in worship, and in prayer. Let Him fill the empty places in your heart so that you can love others—including your wife and children—from a place of overflow.

This is a painful season, but it is not without purpose. God is at work, even when we cannot see it. Trust Him, lean on Him, and let Him carry you through.

Healed Spirit Soul And Body

 
We want to thank you for the privilege of standing in prayer with you during this incredibly difficult season. Your honesty and vulnerability in sharing the brokenness of your marriage and the weight of your heart have not gone unnoticed. We have lifted you, your wife, and your precious children before the Lord, asking Him to move in ways only He can. We prayed for healing—of past wounds, of hardened hearts, and of the pain that has kept you both from the love and peace God intends for your family. We asked the Holy Spirit to soften hearts, to open eyes to truth, and to draw each of you closer to the Father’s heart, especially in moments when human strength feels exhausted.

If God has begun to answer these prayers—if there has been even the slightest shift in your wife’s heart, if you’ve sensed His presence guiding you, or if He has provided unexpected grace in the midst of this storm—we would be so encouraged to hear your praise report. Your testimony could be a beacon of hope for others walking through similar valleys.

If, however, the situation remains unchanged or feels heavier still, please do not hesitate to post this request again. We are here to continue standing with you in prayer, to intercede for your marriage, and to ask the Lord to reveal His will in ways that bring clarity, peace, and restoration. Your willingness to surrender this battle to God, even when the outcome is uncertain, is a powerful testimony of faith. We pray that He would continue to strengthen you, give you wisdom in each step, and surround your children with His protection and comfort.

May the Lord meet you in your exhaustion, fill you with His peace that surpasses understanding, and remind you that He is near to the brokenhearted. We trust that He is working even now, in ways seen and unseen, and we ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Praying for you and your request in Jesus.

Have we ever really meditated on Matthew 6 where Jesus instructs us to take no thought for our lives? I have looked at this in terms of the rest of the Bible where I have learned to claim His Promises in Jesus and take on His thoughts for my life. Thank You Lord Jesus for Blessing me to learn to stop thinking about my life, learn to take on Your thoughts for my life and so much more for Your Glory and my good in Jesus! Amen! Thank You Jesus! Glory to You Lord Jesus!!!

Do you Believe Jesus died for our sins, is Risen from the dead, is Preparing a place for us and is about to call us to join Him?

Are you watching for Jesus in the Clouds of Glory? Jesus is about to call us to join Him!

We can do everything Jesus did and more! We can speak; sickness leave in Jesus! Be healed by Jesus stripes! I am healed by Jesus stripes! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!

You can copy and paste this to pray every day and share...

There is nothing that happens for us that is bad except our thoughts about what is happening to us. The Bible says All things work together for our good in Jesus! Look at everything as good!

Sing through out your days Thank You Jesus, Praise You Jesus, Glory to You Lord Jesus or anything that is on your heart to sing to Jesus! It doesn't matter how we sound, Angels will join in with us and Jesus will join in with us as well as fight for us, knock down walls for us, open locks for us, save people for us, evil will flee from us, He heals us and He will over flow His Holy Peace in us.

Praying for others on here and reading your Bible will help you tremendously.

I wanted to commit suicide once, I even came up with a plan. Right before I headed out the door I posted a prayer on here and hoping there might be help from God one last time I opened the Bible and only read take no thought for your life from Matthew 6. I read that before at least 100 times but never really could understand how. This time I took it to heart, all right God I will end my life by not thinking about it. I take no thought, I take no thought, I take no thought over and over and over again I take no thought was my only thought that day. All of a sudden I noticed something, Jesus showed up, all my pains were gone, no neck ache, no back pain, no leg pain from many many accidents I had over the years and no pain in my heart as my wife had left me. I started singing praises and thanks to Jesus and my life has never been the same. My wife returned. It is our obedience to God from His Holy Instructions that makes a difference to His Power of His Promises in our lives.

Be a doer of Jesus friend, it really makes a difference! Thank You Lord Jesus! All things work together for my good in Jesus!

Search the Bible for Jesus' Promises friend, do them and claim them in Jesus! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus! Glory to You Lord Jesus!!!

Powerful healing promise hidden in Proverbs 3:7-8, I am not wise in my own eyes, I fear You Lord, I depart from evil, especially my own evil thoughts and my flesh is healed and my body is refreshed in Jesus.

Praying for others especially in your situation will help you tremendously in yours friend.

Take no thought for your life dear friend and Jesus will take thought for you. Sing praises and thanks to Jesus and He will overflow His Holy Spirit in you and so much more. He will fight for you and give you the desires of your heart.

Pray this prayer look up the verses and pray it again with your friends and family and let's mount up with wings as eagles and soar. Soar with me.

Let Us Pray: God I ask in Jesus' name, bless me to grow closer to You. I long for a more intimate relationship with You. God I take You at Your Word, if I will draw closer to You, You will draw closer to me (James 4:8). Show me how to draw closer to You. Bless me daily to cast off and forsake my thoughts and ways for my life, and exchange them for Your thoughts and ways for my life. Let me think Your thoughts and dream Your dreams for my life. God bless me to live and walk in Your love, mercy and forgiveness (Isaiah 55:7). I confess, I will take no thought for my life. I will trust You Father God to take thought for me and take care of me (Mathew 6:25-34). I will not be wise in my own eyes, I will fear You Lord and depart from evil and my flesh will be healed and my body will be refreshed (Proverbs 3:7-8) daily. Thank You Jesus for Your Promises! Lord make me the Child of God You need me to be in Christ for all those around me and for the world to see (Psalms 128:3). Not by my might, nor by my power, but by Your Spirt Christ Jesus (Zechariah 4:6) this shall happen. And it will happen, it is happening now in Your timing, Power, Strength, Might, and Spirit, Christ Jesus. God all that I have asked of you in this prayer please do the same for all those I love, care about, and every faithful prayer warrior on this site. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You Lord Jesus, my Savior and Lord for answering this prayer with a Yes and Amen.

Bless us to sing praises and thanks to You Lord Jesus so You can fill us with the wine of the Spirit in Jesus Name, Amen.
