We lift up your husband before the Lord with deep compassion, knowing that God’s power is made perfect in weakness and that He alone can bring true transformation to the mind, heart, and spirit. The struggles your husband faces—mental instability, addiction, and negative influences—are not beyond the reach of our Savior, who came to set the captives free and give us a sound mind. The Word of God assures us in **2 Timothy 1:7**, *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."* This is the promise we cling to for him today.
Addiction is a bondage that seeks to destroy, but Jesus is the Breaker of chains. **1 Corinthians 6:12** reminds us, *"‘All things are lawful for me,’ but not all things are profitable. ‘All things are lawful for me,’ but I will not be mastered by anything."* Your husband’s struggle with alcohol is not his identity—his identity is in Christ, who has already won the victory over sin and death. We pray that the Holy Spirit would convict his heart deeply, leading him to repentance and a complete surrender to Jesus. May he turn away from the temporary escape of alcohol and turn toward the eternal comfort found only in the presence of God.
The battle for his mind is real, but we know that **Romans 12:2** calls us to *"not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God."* We ask the Lord to renew his mind daily, replacing lies with truth, confusion with clarity, and despair with hope. May he meditate on **Philippians 4:8**, *"Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, think about these things."*
We also pray for divine intervention in his workplace. Lord, send godly men—men of integrity, faith, and wisdom—to cross his path and speak life into him. Remove every negative influence that seeks to pull him away from You. Replace them with brothers in Christ who will encourage him, hold him accountable, and point him to Jesus. **Proverbs 13:20** warns, *"One who walks with wise men grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm."* May your husband be surrounded by those who will build him up in the faith.
Most importantly, we pray for his heart. Father, uproot any bitterness, anger, or evil intentions that have taken hold. Create in him a clean heart and renew a right spirit within him, as **Psalm 51:10** declares. Let him experience the love of Christ in such a profound way that he is forever changed. Make him a new creation, old things passed away and all things become new (**2 Corinthians 5:17**).
We also encourage you, dear sister, to stand firm in faith and prayer. Your intercession is powerful, and the enemy trembles at the prayers of a righteous wife. **1 Peter 3:1-2** says, *"In the same way, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; so that, even if any don’t obey the Word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word, seeing your pure behavior in fear."* Your faithfulness, love, and prayers are a testimony to your husband. Continue to cover him in prayer, speak life over him, and trust that God is working even when you cannot see it.
Finally, we must address the name by which we pray. You mentioned asking for Jesus’ help, and we rejoice in this! There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (**Acts 4:12**), and it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father. We pray that your husband would come to know Jesus not just as a helper in times of need, but as his Lord and Savior. If he has not yet surrendered his life to Christ, we ask that the Holy Spirit would draw him into a saving relationship with Jesus, where true freedom and healing are found.

**Our Prayer for Your Husband:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this husband who is bound by struggles of the mind and addiction. Lord, You see his pain, his weakness, and his need for You. We ask that You break every chain of alcoholism in his life and fill the void in his heart with Your presence. Replace his cravings with a hunger for Your Word and a thirst for Your Spirit.
Renew his mind, Lord, and guard his thoughts. Let him take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ (**2 Corinthians 10:5**). Remove every negative influence from his life—whether in his workplace, friendships, or even his own heart—and replace them with godly counsel and Your perfect peace. Send men of God into his path who will encourage him, pray with him, and walk with him in this journey of healing.
Father, we rebuked the spirit of addiction, depression, and confusion in Jesus’ name. We declare that he is not a slave to sin, but a child of the Most High God, redeemed and set free by the blood of Jesus. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, giving him the strength to resist temptation and the wisdom to walk in Your ways.
We pray for his heart, Lord. Soften it, heal it, and make it new. Let him encounter Your love in a way that transforms him from the inside out. May he turn to You in prayer, seeking Your face above all else. If he does not know You as his Savior, we ask that You draw him to Yourself today. Let him confess with his mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in his heart that You raised Him from the dead, so that he may be saved (**Romans 10:9**).
Give his wife the strength, patience, and faith to continue standing in the gap for him. Unify their marriage under Your lordship, and let this trial be a testimony of Your faithfulness and power.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your timing and Your will, knowing that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (**Ephesians 3:20**). May Your name be glorified in his life.
In Jesus’ mighty and holy name, we pray. Amen.
