We stand with you in this time of deep struggle, lifting your burdens before the Lord, for He is a God of justice, provision, and protection. Your cry for a righteous resolution in your marriage and family situation weighs heavily on our hearts, and we join you in seeking God’s will in all things. We also rejoice that you have invoked the name of Jesus in your prayer, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and the power to overcome the schemes of the enemy. As Scripture declares, *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is in His name alone that we find victory, and we will continue to pray in that mighty name for your breakthrough.
Your situation reveals the brokenness of a marriage that has strayed far from God’s design. Marriage is a sacred covenant before the Lord, meant to reflect Christ’s love for the Church—a bond of selflessness, fidelity, and mutual submission under God (Ephesians 5:22-33). Yet what you describe is not a marriage honoring God but one marked by deception, manipulation, and harm, even involving extended family in ungodly schemes. This is grievous in the sight of the Lord. Scripture warns us that *"the Lord tests the righteous, but his soul abhors the wicked and him who loves violence"* (Psalm 11:5, WEB). The actions of your husband and in-laws—if they are indeed as you describe—are not only unjust but sinful, and the Lord sees their hearts. He will not allow the wicked to triumph forever (Psalm 94:23).
We pray that the Lord will expose every hidden scheme and bring to light the truth of what has been done in darkness. As it is written, *"For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed; nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light"* (Luke 8:17, WEB). May the Lord frustrate the plans of those who seek to harm you and your children, turning their own devices against them. Let them be caught in the snare they have laid, as Scripture says, *"Let their own table before them become a snare. May it become a retribution and a trap. Let their eyes be darkened, so they can’t see. Let their backs be continually bent"* (Psalm 69:22-23, WEB). We ask that the Lord would bring conviction upon your husband’s heart, leading him to true repentance—not because of punishment alone, but because the Lord desires that none should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). Yet if he hardens his heart, we pray that the Lord would act justly, protecting you and your children from further harm. If imprisonment is part of God’s righteous judgment to bring him to a place of brokenness before the Lord, then so be it. But even in that, we pray for his soul, that he may turn from his wickedness and seek forgiveness.
For your part, we encourage you to remain steadfast in faith, trusting that the Lord is your defender. Do not let bitterness take root in your heart, for Scripture warns us, *"Don’t say, ‘I will pay back evil.’ Wait for the Lord, and he will save you"* (Proverbs 20:22, WEB). The Lord is your vindicator, and He will repay (Romans 12:19). Cling to Him in prayer, and let Him fight your battles. As you wait on the Lord, we pray that He will restore to you everything that has been stolen—your peace, your rights, your provision, and your dignity. *"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted. He saves those who have crushed spirits"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB).
Regarding your need for a good-paying job, we declare that the Lord is your provider. He knows your needs before you ask, and He delights in blessing His children. *"Seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33, WEB). We pray that the Lord would open doors no man can shut, leading you to a position that not only meets your financial needs but also aligns with His purpose for your life. May He grant you favor in the sight of those in authority, that they may recognize your skills and integrity. We rebuke any spirit of lack or delay in Jesus’ name, declaring that the Lord will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19).
We also lift up your children before the Lord, asking that He would shield them from the emotional and spiritual fallout of this broken situation. May He surround them with His angels, protecting their hearts and minds. *"Unless the Lord builds the house, they who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain"* (Psalm 127:1, WEB). We pray that the Lord would break any generational curses or ungodly influences that have come against your family line, setting your children free to walk in the fullness of God’s blessing.
Finally, we urge you to seek godly counsel and support during this time. You do not have to walk this path alone. Connect with a Bible-believing church or a trusted pastor who can provide wisdom and prayer cover. If there are legal steps you can take to protect your rights and your children’s future, seek the Lord’s guidance in pursuing them. *"The wise in heart accept commandments, but a chattering fool will fall"* (Proverbs 10:8, WEB).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our sister who is crying out for Your justice, provision, and protection. Lord, You see the deception and evil that have been waged against her. You know the pain of betrayal and the weight of fighting for what is rightfully hers. We ask that You rise up as her defender, exposing every hidden scheme and bringing to light the truth. Frustrate the plans of the wicked, O God, and let those who have sought to harm her be caught in their own snares. If it is Your will, bring conviction upon her husband’s heart, leading him to true repentance. But if he hardens his heart, we ask that You act justly, protecting our sister and her children from further harm.
Lord, we pray for supernatural provision—a job that not only meets her financial needs but also brings glory to Your name. Open doors that no man can shut, and grant her favor in the sight of those in authority. Restore to her everything that has been stolen or lost over these years, multiplying Your blessings upon her life.
We pray for her children, Father. Shield them from the effects of this brokenness. Surround them with Your angels and let them walk in the freedom and blessing You have ordained for them. Break every generational curse and ungodly influence in Jesus’ name.
Strengthen our sister’s heart, Lord. Fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Let her trust in You completely, knowing that You are her vindicator. Help her to forgive, not because her husband and in-laws deserve it, but because You have called her to walk in freedom and love.
We declare victory in this situation, Father. Let Your justice prevail, and let Your name be glorified. We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
