Marriage

We lift you up before the Lord, dear sister, and we hear the deep weariness and longing in your heart. Marriage is a sacred covenant designed by God to reflect His love for His people, yet the enemy seeks to distort it with burdens, loneliness, and oppression. You are not unseen in your struggles—God sees your sacrifices, your tears, and the ache of your heart. Let us first remind you of His promise in **Isaiah 41:10 (WEB)**, *"Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness."*
Your cry for love and courage is one the Lord answers. A marriage thrives not by human effort alone but by surrendering to Christ, who is the cornerstone. **Ephesians 5:25 (WEB)** commands husbands to *"love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it."* If your husband is not walking in this love, we urge you to pray fervently for his heart to be softened and turned toward God’s design. But we must also ask: Have you shared your loneliness and oppression with him in a way that invites repentance and change? Sometimes, the enemy uses silence to deepen division. **James 5:16 (WEB)** tells us to *"confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective."* Speak truth in love, not in accusation, but with humility, trusting God to work.
Yet we must also address the oppression you feel. Are you carrying burdens God never intended for you alone? **1 Peter 5:7 (WEB)** says, *"Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you."* Sister, you are not called to be a martyr in your marriage but to walk in the freedom and dignity Christ purchased for you. If your husband is not leading spiritually or emotionally, it is not your role to fill that void in your own strength. Instead, surrender this to Jesus and ask Him to either restore your husband’s heart or show you how to stand firm in godly boundaries. **Galatians 6:2 (WEB)** reminds us to *"Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ,"* but this must be mutual, not one-sided. If you are pouring out without being filled, you will grow empty. Seek the Lord first—let Him be your source of love, validation, and strength.
We also sense the enemy’s hand in the loneliness and depression you describe. These are not from God. **John 10:10 (WEB)** declares that the thief *"comes only to steal, kill, and destroy,"* but Jesus came *"that they may have life, and may have it abundantly."* If you are struggling with depression, we urge you to seek godly counsel—whether through your church, a trusted believer, or a biblical counselor. You are not meant to walk this path alone. Sometimes, the Lord uses others to speak life into our weary souls.
Now, let us pray over you:
*"Heavenly Father, we lift our sister before Your throne, where grace and mercy flow. Lord, You see her heart—the love she pours out, the loneliness she carries, the oppression that weighs her down. We ask You to move mightily in her marriage. Soften her husband’s heart, Lord, and turn him toward You. Let him rise up as the spiritual leader You’ve called him to be, loving her as Christ loves the church—sacrificially, tenderly, and faithfully. Break every chain of apathy, distraction, or hardness that keeps him from cherishing her as he should.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of oppression and loneliness in Jesus’ name. No weapon formed against this marriage shall prosper. Fill her with Your supernatural joy and peace, Lord, even as she waits for You to restore what has been broken. Give her courage to speak truth in love, wisdom to set godly boundaries, and strength to stand firm in Your promises. Let her find her worth and fulfillment in You alone, not in her husband’s affection or approval.
If there is sin in her heart—bitterness, resentment, or unforgiveness—reveal it to her and grant her the grace to release it at the foot of the cross. If her husband is walking in sin, convict him deeply and draw him to repentance. Let this marriage be a testimony of Your redeeming power.
Lord, we ask for divine intervention in their finances, that You would provide abundantly so that the strain of ‘making ends meet’ would not overshadow their love for You and each other. You own the cattle on a thousand hills—open the windows of heaven and pour out blessings they cannot contain.
Finally, Father, surround her with Your presence. Let her know she is not alone. Send godly women to stand with her, to pray with her, and to speak life over her. Heal her heart from depression and fill her with Your hope. Remind her that her labor in You is never in vain.
We declare Your victory over this marriage, Lord. Let Your will be done, and let Your name be glorified. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, we pray. Amen."*
Sister, hold fast to hope. **Psalm 34:18 (WEB)** promises, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* Keep seeking Him, keep praying, and trust that He is working even when you cannot see it. If you need further counsel or prayer, do not hesitate to reach out. You are loved, you are seen, and your marriage is worth fighting for—in God’s strength, not your own.

We're right here with you, sister, standing in the gap and lifting your marriage up to the Lord. We know the weight of loneliness and oppression can be overwhelming, but remember, God sees you, He hears you, and He's right there with you in the midst of it all.
We want to encourage you to keep communicating openly and honestly with your husband. Sometimes, the enemy uses silence to drive a wedge between us, but when we speak the truth in love, it can break down barriers and open the door for healing and change. It might be hard, but try to share your feelings with him, not in accusation, but with humility, trusting God to work in both of your hearts.
We also want to remind you that God never intended for you to carry burdens alone. He wants you to cast all your anxieties on Him because He cares for you. It's not your role to fill the void left by your husband's spiritual or emotional leadership. Instead, surrender this to Jesus and ask Him to either restore your husband's heart or show you how to stand firm in godly boundaries.
Let's pray together:
"Dear Lord, we come before You today, lifting up our sister and her marriage. Lord, You see her heart, the love she pours out, the loneliness she carries, the oppression that weighs her down. We ask You to move mightily in her marriage. Soften her husband's heart, Lord, and turn him towards You. Help him to love her as Christ loves the church - sacrificially, tenderly, and faithfully. Break every chain of apathy, distraction, or hardness that keeps him from cherishing her as he should.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of oppression and loneliness in Jesus' name. Fill her with Your supernatural joy and peace, Lord, even as she waits for You to restore what has been broken.

In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen."
