Please pray for my husband ### who is struggling with the demon of addiction called alcoholism. He is making all wrong choices that are affecting me and my family, especially me. I have a 5-year-old toddler who I have to take care of, and I am 5 months pregnant, which he completely forgets. I can't sleep through the night, waking up checking on him. He has lost his job, and he is making all wrong choices through this situation. It's putting a strain on me and my marriage. I don't even know how my 5-year-old daughter feels seeing this. I am trying to be the best wife I can be for my daughter and unborn child, also trying to support him throughout. I need him in his right mindset as I am going through my own struggles with my pregnancy. I cry in the room with the door closed, praying, crying out to God. He keeps saying he feels lonely; he says wrongful things; he is drinking that hurts me deeply. I love him a lot. We have been through a lot with his mother and sister-in-law giving me the worst time. I suffered, crying without saying a word to him, being in a different country with him and in-laws, but God opened his eyes to see the wrongful things to me, and God saved my marriage. My husband started to stand by me and my daughter, and we came back to the USA. Looking at his good job has a big toll on him; he is mentally feeling sick.

Some days I don't even think he remembers I am pregnant. What emotions and tolls it is taking inside of me, how much I love and need him, and how I am hurting seeing him go through this. He gets angry when he drinks and calls me and my parents names and hurtful things, but I forgive even through hurt, knowing it's alcohol spirits. Please pray against spiritual warfare. God to make things smooth for me in this journey. Please pray God to remove everything influencing his life, friendships that are not making him a better person through this. He starts trading and taking bigger risks while drinking, which is blowing up our savings and finances. Please pray hedge protection over our finances, and he drinks more thinking it will help him sleep and numb the pain for his loss. I love him a lot; these burdens are too heavy in my heart. I don't want to raise my blood pressure because I have to take care of the baby in my womb.

Pray to soften my heart and see how I am feeling and how much I love him. Pray for ### to start making wise choices for the family. When he is drinking, when he feels lonely, and I try to hug him, talk to him, see if he needs anything, and tell him I am always there with him, he tells me not to touch him. It's so hard for me to go through this. I cook, clean for him, take care of my daughter, get up early, do everything I do without saying a word out of my mouth to not put a burden on him. I have a high-risk pregnancy; I have to go to extra doctor appointments to him to take me. He has never been to a single prenatal visit with me.

Please intercede in every area of my life: marriage, home, happiness, joy, and our family to be in unity. Love my husband to start communicating with me in love, respect, and care. Free from generational curse, God to break all the money and wealth pride he had from his father and mother and mother and how they hurt him by putting him down all the time, eating to control him with their money. In less, think they are powerful because they are rich and they hold much pride. Please pray hedge a firewall of protection over my family, our lives, and especially my husband.

Please pray for ### as I seek God's kingdom, His will, and God will ass abundance life and provide for all of my needs and as I walk closer to God, I need you, God. Godly friendship and influence. Protection over my family and marriage and finances from the evil eye and evil intention from envious people. Husband to be healed and set free from alcoholism, tobacco, vaping, and all unholy things, gambling, chasing wrong things, and start making wise choices. Blessings over and finances, especially our marriage. My husband to remember his responsibilities as a husband and father, and God to prepare us for a second child to come forth. God to perfect everything concerning me and my family and loved ones. Health and strength for the family. Reconciliation and love that can be broken and making our marital bed holy and pleading to God. God to remove every ungodly influence, friendship, and relationship that is not pleasing to God. Me to have favor in my husband's eyes. Husband to have a rightful mindset to lead his family and love his wife and daughter, be supportive in every way. Me and my husband to have our own home according to God's will and time. Prayer for wisdoms to navigate challenges with love and grace. Prayer to guard my husband against temptation and division. Deliverance from the power of darkness and keep us united in life under God's light. God to shower His mercies on my family and marriage. Complete freedoms and protection over my family and marriage. Husband to love and respect my family as my parents as they love on him and respect him, allowing him and my family to live in their home. Husband to respect my parents as they always take care of their own son that he would not hurt them with his ways and negative words, blessing, and protection over the relationship he has with my family. Unfailing Godly love in marriage, us to never feel lonely knowing God has given us each other and our beautiful daughter. Make God first and our marriage and family priorities, and God teach my husband and help him prioritize God, his wife, and children above everyone and anything else. Peace and joy be in our home and marriage.

God, Lord, is there anything too hard for you? I thank you; with you, all things are possible. Let your divine will and purpose be done, Lord. Remove all distractions, delays, setbacks, and attacks of the enemy, and let your blessings light shadow my life and the life of my daughters, Lord. Make me the head and not the tail, above only and not beneath.

Lord, please bless, cover, protect all of those interceding for me and my family. Thank you, Lord, for answered prayer, deliverance, protection, breakthrough, and miracle. We give you praise and glory in this waiting season, God, that you are not finished with us. You will complete what you have started; you help and answer us when we call upon you, Lord. You are powerful, mighty, and able, faithful Lord. I put my faith and trust in you for life-long victory and breakthrough. In the name of the Lord Jesus, amen. Amen. Amen.

We come before the Lord with you in this time of deep trial, lifting your husband, your marriage, your precious children, and your entire family to the throne of grace. Your heart is breaking, and the burdens you carry are heavy, but we serve a God who is mighty to save, who hears the cries of His children, and who specializes in redemption. You have poured out your soul in a way that reveals both your profound love for your husband and your desperate need for God’s intervention—and He will not ignore your pleas. The enemy has sought to destroy your marriage through the stronghold of alcoholism, but we declare that no weapon formed against you will prosper, for the Lord is your shield and your exceedingly great reward.

First, we must acknowledge the spiritual warfare at play here. Alcoholism is not merely a physical or emotional struggle—it is a demonic stronghold that seeks to steal, kill, and destroy. The Bible warns us in **Ephesians 6:12**, *"For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."* Your husband is not fighting this battle alone; he is under attack, and so are you. But we have authority in the name of Jesus to bind these spirits and command them to flee. We stand with you in rebuking the spirit of addiction, the spirit of loneliness, the spirit of anger, and the spirit of financial destruction that has taken hold of your husband. These spirits are not from God, and they must be cast out in Jesus’ name.

We also recognize that your husband’s behavior is not just hurting him—it is grieving the Holy Spirit and breaking the covenant of marriage. **Ephesians 5:18** tells us, *"Don’t be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit."* Drunkenness leads to reckless decisions, anger, and a hardening of the heart—all of which you have witnessed. Yet, even in this, we must remember that your husband is not your enemy. **Ephesians 6:12** reminds us that our battle is spiritual, and our weapons are not carnal. You have shown incredible grace by forgiving him, even when his words have been hurtful. This is the love of Christ in you, and it is powerful. However, forgiveness does not mean enabling sin. Boundaries may be necessary to protect you and your children, especially given your high-risk pregnancy. You are not responsible for his choices, but you *are* responsible for stewardship over the life God has placed within you and the child already in your care.

Your husband’s feelings of loneliness are real, but they are being exploited by the enemy. The devil seeks to isolate him, to make him believe that alcohol is his only comfort. Yet **Psalm 34:18** assures us, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* His loneliness can only truly be filled by the presence of God—not by substances, not by risky financial ventures, and not by withdrawal from you. We pray that the Holy Spirit would convict him deeply of this truth, that he would turn to Jesus as his Comforter and Deliverer.

We also see the generational curses at work in his life—pride, financial idolatry, and emotional manipulation from his family. **Exodus 20:5** warns that the iniquities of the fathers can affect future generations, but **Galatians 3:13-14** declares, *"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,’ that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith."* In the name of Jesus, we break every generational curse over your husband’s life—every pattern of addiction, every spirit of pride and financial bondage, every word spoken over him that has sought to control or diminish him. We declare that he is a new creation in Christ, and the old has passed away.

Your husband’s irresponsibility—his absence from prenatal visits, his financial risks, his verbal abuse—are not just personal failures; they are failures of his God-given role as a husband and father. **1 Timothy 5:8** states, *"But if anyone doesn’t provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever."* This is a strong rebuke, but it is also a call to repentance. Men are called to lead their families in love, sacrifice, and responsibility. We pray that the Holy Spirit would convict your husband of his duties before God, that he would rise up as the spiritual leader of your home, and that he would turn from his sin with genuine repentance.

We also want to address the toll this is taking on *you*. You are carrying immense weight—literally and spiritually. Your sleepless nights, your tears, your silent suffering—God sees it all. **Psalm 56:8** says, *"You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book."* You are not forgotten. However, we must gently remind you that while your love for your husband is commendable, you cannot save him. Only God can. You are not called to be his Holy Spirit. **1 Peter 5:7** instructs, *"Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you."* You must release this burden to the Lord, trusting that He is working even when you cannot see it. Your health—and the health of your unborn child—must be protected. If your husband’s behavior is causing you physical or emotional harm, it is not ungodly to seek safety, counsel, or separation if necessary. God does not call you to endure abuse.

We also encourage you to seek support from your church community. **Ecclesiastes 4:9-10** tells us, *"Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his companion; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn’t have another to lift him up."* You do not have to walk this path alone. If your husband is unwilling to seek help, you must still take steps to protect yourself and your children. This may include reaching out to a pastor, a biblical counselor, or a support group for families affected by addiction.

Now, let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this sister and her family. Lord, You see the depths of her pain, the weight of her burdens, and the desperation in her heart. You are a God who hears the cries of Your children, and we ask that You would move powerfully in this situation.

Father, we bind the spirit of alcoholism that has taken hold of her husband. We break its power in the name of Jesus. Every demonic stronghold of addiction, loneliness, anger, and financial destruction—we command it to flee now, in Jesus’ name. We declare that her husband is not a slave to sin, but a child of God, redeemed by the blood of Jesus. We pray that You would open his eyes to the destruction this sin is causing—not just to himself, but to his wife, his daughter, and the child yet unborn. Convict him deeply, Lord, and draw him to repentance.

Lord, we break every generational curse over his life—every pattern of addiction, every spirit of pride and financial idolatry, every word spoken over him that has sought to control or diminish him. We declare that he is free in Christ, and we ask that You would fill the void in his heart with Your love, Your peace, and Your purpose. Remove every ungodly influence from his life—every friendship, every habit, every distraction that is not pleasing to You.

Father, we pray for supernatural intervention in his mind and heart. Soften his heart toward his wife, who has loved him faithfully. Restore his mind to clarity, that he would remember his responsibilities as a husband and father. Give him a spirit of wisdom and discernment, that he would make decisions that honor You and bless his family. We pray that You would restore his desire to lead his family spiritually, emotionally, and financially.

Lord, we ask for protection over this sister’s health and the health of her unborn child. Guard her from stress, from high blood pressure, and from the emotional toll this trial is taking on her. Surround her with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding. Give her strength for each day, and remind her that she is not alone—You are with her, and You will never leave her nor forsake her.

We pray for unity in this marriage, Lord. Heal the wounds that have been inflicted, and restore trust where it has been broken. We ask that You would help her husband to see the love and sacrifice of his wife, that he would cherish her as Christ cherishes the church. Remove every barrier to communication, and let Your love flow between them.

Father, we pray for financial protection and restoration. We ask that You would hedge their finances from destruction, that You would provide for their every need according to Your riches in glory. We rebuke the spirit of gambling and financial recklessness, and we ask that You would give her husband wisdom and self-control in every decision.

Lord, we pray for her daughter—that You would shield her young heart from the pain of this season. Comfort her, Lord, and let her know that she is deeply loved by You and by her parents. We pray that this trial would not leave lasting scars on her, but that You would use it to draw their family closer to You.

Finally, Father, we ask that You would prepare this family for the arrival of their second child. Give them joy in this season, even amid the storm. Let this child be a testament to Your faithfulness and grace.

We declare victory over this family in the name of Jesus. We believe that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. We trust You to restore, to redeem, and to renew. Let Your will be done, Lord, and let Your name be glorified in this situation.

We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We thank You for Your faithfulness, Your power, and Your love. We trust You to complete the good work You have started in this marriage and this family. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

---
Sister, we want to leave you with this encouragement: **Do not lose heart.** The God who parted the Red Sea, who raised Lazarus from the dead, and who conquered the grave is the same God who is fighting for your marriage. Keep praying, keep trusting, and keep seeking the Lord. He is faithful, and He will see you through this storm.

We also urge you to **speak life** over your husband and your marriage. The words you speak have power. Instead of rehearsing his failures, declare God’s promises over him. Proclaim that he is free, that he is a godly husband and father, and that your marriage is being restored. **Proverbs 18:21** tells us, *"Death and life are in the power of the tongue; those who love it will eat its fruit."*

Lastly, if your husband is open to it, we strongly encourage you to seek professional Christian counseling for him (and for you, if needed). Addiction often requires both spiritual and practical intervention. There is no shame in seeking help—it is a step of faith and wisdom.

Stand firm, dear sister. The Lord is with you, and He will never fail you.

I'm here to offer a different response to the original post, focusing on a more personal and encouraging tone, while still keeping the prayer in Jesus' name.

Dear [Original Poster's Name],

I want to start by saying that I'm truly sorry to hear about the struggles you're going through with your husband's addiction. It's never easy to see the person we love hurting themselves and those around them. I'm here to lift you up in prayer and encouragement.

Firstly, I want to remind you that you're not alone in this. God sees you, He hears your cries, and He is with you every step of the way. In times like these, we must cling onto His promise in Matthew 11:28-29, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."

Your husband is battling a stronghold of addiction, but remember, the battle is not just against flesh and blood; it's against the powers of this dark world and the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). We must stand against these forces in prayer, rebuking them in Jesus' name. We declare freedom from addiction over your husband's life, and we pray that the Holy Spirit would reveal the truth of his addiction to him, leading him to genuine repentance.

Your love and faithfulness towards your husband are commendable, but remember, you cannot save him. Only God can. Cast all your anxieties on Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Trust that God is working even when you cannot see it. Your health and the health of your unborn child must be protected. If your husband's behavior is causing you physical or emotional harm, it's not ungodly to seek safety, counsel, or separation if necessary. God does not call you to endure abuse.

I encourage you to seek support from your church community. You don't have to walk this path alone. Reach out to a pastor, a biblical counselor, or a support group for families affected by addiction. They can provide guidance and a listening ear.
