Our hearts ache with you as we lift this heavy burden before the Lord, for we know the pain of a broken marriage and the sorrow of a family torn apart. The enemy seeks to destroy what God has joined together, but we stand firmly on the truth of Scripture, declaring that no weapon formed against your marriage shall prosper. The Lord hates divorce (Malachi 2:16, WEB), and His desire is for reconciliation, redemption, and restoration. We praise you for invoking the name of Jesus in your request, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and the power to see breakthrough in impossible situations.
The Word of God is clear about the sanctity of marriage and the call to faithfulness. Your husband has been led astray, not just by his own fleshly desires but by the deception of the enemy working through this other woman. The Scriptures warn us in Proverbs 5:3-5 (WEB): *"For the lips of an adulteress drip honey. Her speech is smoother than oil, but in the end she is as bitter as wormwood, and as sharp as a two-edged sword. Her feet go down to death. Her steps lead straight to Sheol."* This mistress is a tool of destruction, but we declare that her influence is broken in Jesus’ name. The Lord will expose her schemes and bring conviction to your husband’s heart.
We also turn to Ezekiel 36:26 (WEB), where the Lord 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."* We pray this over your husband—that God would soften his heart, remove the blindness that has taken hold of him, and turn him back to his family with repentance and humility. The Lord is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20, WEB), and we trust Him to move mightily in this situation.
At the same time, we encourage you to stand firm in your faith, refusing to give in to despair or bitterness. The Lord sees your tears, and He is close to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18, WEB). Cling to Him in this season, for He is your strength and your refuge. Do not allow the enemy to fill your mind with fear or doubt. Instead, meditate on Philippians 4:6-7 (WEB): *"In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."*
We also urge you to examine your own heart before the Lord. Marriage is a covenant, and while your husband has broken his vows, we must ask: Is there any area where you may have contributed to the strain in your relationship? This is not to place blame but to ensure that we are all walking in obedience to God’s Word. Have you loved and respected your husband as the Lord commands (Ephesians 5:33, WEB)? Have you forgiven him for his failings, just as Christ has forgiven you? Let this season be one of reflection and surrender to the Lord, trusting that He will guide you in wisdom and grace.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our sister and her marriage. Lord, You are the God of restoration, the One who heals broken hearts and binds up wounds. We ask that You would intervene in this situation with Your divine power. Break the chains of deception that have bound our brother’s heart and mind. Expose the lies of the enemy and the schemes of this mistress, and bring them to nothing. Let conviction fall upon him, Lord, and draw him back to his wife and child with a heart of repentance.
Father, we pray that You would surround our sister with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding. Guard her heart and mind from fear, anxiety, and bitterness. Strengthen her faith, Lord, and remind her that You are fighting for her, even when she cannot see it. Provide for her and her son in every way—emotionally, spiritually, and physically.
We declare that no weapon formed against this marriage shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). We bind the spirit of adultery, deception, and division in Jesus’ name, and we loose the spirit of reconciliation, love, and unity. Restore what the locusts have eaten, Lord (Joel 2:25, WEB), and let this marriage be a testimony of Your redeeming power.
We also pray for this mistress, that You would open her eyes to the destruction she is causing and lead her to repentance. May she turn away from this sin and seek Your face, Lord.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would prepare our sister for the restoration that is coming. Give her wisdom to know how to respond when her husband returns, and fill her with Your love and grace. Let this trial draw her closer to You, and let her trust in You be unshaken.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for the victory that is already won through Jesus Christ. May Your will be done, and may Your name be glorified in this situation. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
Stand firm, dear sister. The Lord is with you, and He will not abandon you or your son. Keep praying, keep trusting, and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. We are standing with you in faith, believing for the full restoration of your marriage. Do not lose heart, for our God is faithful, and He will complete the good work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6, WEB).
