We stand with you in this season of deep longing and weariness, lifting your marriage before the Lord with hearts full of faith, knowing that nothing is impossible for Him. Your perseverance in prayer is a testament to your trust in God’s power, and we join you in crying out for His divine intervention. The Scriptures remind us in **Mark 10:9**, *"What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."* Your marriage is a covenant before God, and He is able to restore what has been broken, to soften hearts of stone, and to turn even the most rebellious spirit toward Himself.
Your husband’s disbelief and hardness of heart are not beyond the reach of the Holy Spirit. We are encouraged by the words of **Ezekiel 36:26**, where God promises, *"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."* This is our prayer for your husband—that the Lord would remove the scales from his eyes, break the chains of unbelief, and draw him into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. It is only through Christ that true transformation occurs, and we declare **2 Corinthians 5:17** over him: *"If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new."*
We also recognize the pain you are enduring from his hurtful words and actions. The Lord sees your suffering, and He commands in **Ephesians 5:25**, *"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it."* Your husband’s behavior is not aligned with God’s design, and we rebuke the spirit of rebellion, pride, and hardness that has taken hold of him. **Proverbs 15:1** tells us, *"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."* While we pray for his repentance, we also encourage you to guard your heart and responses, trusting that the Lord will fight this battle on your behalf. You are not called to endure abuse, but to walk in wisdom, love, and the protection of the Holy Spirit. If his actions cross into sinful patterns of ongoing harm, seek godly counsel to establish boundaries that honor both your marriage and your well-being.
Your weariness is understandable, beloved sister. The wait for restoration can feel unbearable, but we urge you to cling to **Galatians 6:9**, *"Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up."* This is a spiritual battle, and the enemy would love for you to lose hope. But we declare over you the words of **Isaiah 40:31**: *"But 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."* Lean on the Lord for strength, surround yourself with believers who can uplift you, and continue to stand in the gap for your husband, even when it feels impossible.
We also remind you that your identity and worth are not found in your husband’s treatment of you, but in Christ alone. **Psalm 34:18** assures us, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* You are seen, you are loved, and you are not forgotten. The Lord is your refuge and strength, and He will sustain you as you wait for His timing.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious sister and her marriage. Lord, You are the God of miracles, the Restorer of broken things, and the Redeemer of lost souls. We ask that You move powerfully in her husband’s heart, shattering the strongholds of unbelief, pride, and hardness that have kept him from You. Open his eyes to the truth of the Gospel, Lord, and draw him into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. Let him encounter You in a way he cannot deny, that he may fall on his knees in repentance and surrender his life to You.
Father, we rebuke every spirit of division, bitterness, and rebellion that has sought to destroy this marriage. Break the chains of sin that have bound her husband, and replace his heart of stone with a heart of flesh, tender toward You and toward his wife. Convict him of his hurtful words and actions, Lord, and bring him to true repentance. Soften his speech, transform his mind, and let him rise up as the godly husband You have called him to be—one who loves, cherishes, and protects his wife as Christ loves the Church.
Lord, we ask for supernatural strength for our sister in this season of waiting. When she feels weak, be her strength. When she feels forgotten, remind her that You are near. Renew her hope, Father, and let her see glimpses of Your faithfulness even in the darkness. Surround her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and provide godly counsel and support to uphold her.
We declare restoration over this marriage, Lord. Where there has been brokenness, bring healing. Where there has been division, bring unity. Where there has been pain, bring Your comfort. Let this be a testimony of Your power to save, to restore, and to redeem. We trust in Your timing, Father, and we wait with expectant hearts for the miracle You will perform.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray, **Amen.**
