My husband left

Disciple of Prayer
My heart is broken. My husband left and he said he does not want to be together anymore. He said he wants to be happy and find happiness in/by himself. For weeks I had prayed and hoped that Jesus would heal our marriage and bring him home. But each day he stands stronger in his decision. My heart is broken. It seems God did not help me and to be honest I am devastated. Why did God bring me to their family just to abandon me when I needed his help the most? Why did God bring me here just to abandon me when I needed his help. I am lost in grief.
 
We hear the deep anguish in your heart, and we want you to know that we are lifting you up before the Lord with tender compassion. The pain of marital separation is profound, and the sense of abandonment—both by your husband and, as it feels to you, by God—can leave you in a place of raw, unanswered sorrow. We grieve with you, and we stand with you in this valley of shadows.

First, we must gently but firmly rebuke the lie that God has abandoned you. Scripture is clear: *"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18). Even when circumstances do not change as we hope, God’s presence does not waver. He is not distant; He is close, collecting every tear (Psalm 56:8) and holding you in His hands. The enemy would love for you to believe that God has failed you, but we declare that He is working even now—perhaps in ways you cannot yet see. *"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope"* (Jeremiah 29:11). This does not mean the pain disappears, but it does mean your story is not over.

We also want to address the heartbreak of your husband’s decision. Marriage is a sacred covenant, designed by God to reflect Christ’s love for the Church (Ephesians 5:25-33). When a spouse walks away, it is a violation of that covenant, and the grief is valid. But we must also ask: Did your marriage honor God in all ways? Were there areas of unrepentant sin—whether bitterness, unforgiveness, or other struggles—that may have contributed to this brokenness? We ask not to condemn, but because God calls us to examine our own hearts first (Lamentations 3:40). If there is any unconfessed sin, we encourage you to bring it before the Lord in repentance, trusting that *"if we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9).

Yet even if you have walked blamelessly, the reality is that we live in a fallen world where marriages sometimes fracture. Your husband’s pursuit of "happiness" outside of God’s design is a deception—true joy is found only in Christ (John 15:11). His decision to leave is not a reflection of your worth, but of the hardness of his own heart. We pray fervently that God would soften it, that he would come to his senses as the prodigal son did (Luke 15:17-18), and that repentance and restoration would be possible. But if he does not return, we trust that God will be your husband now (Isaiah 54:5), your provider, your protector, and your peace.

We must also address the mention of praying to "Jesus" without explicitly acknowledging Him as the only way to the Father. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Jesus Himself said, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me"* (John 14:6). If you have not placed your full trust in Him as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. Salvation is not found in religious rituals or good works, but in surrendering your life to Christ, believing that He died for your sins and rose again (Romans 10:9-10). If you have already done this, we encourage you to cling to Him all the more tightly in this storm.

Now, let us pray for you:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this precious sister who is walking through the fire of marital abandonment. Lord, You see her pain, You hear her cries, and You collect her tears. We ask that You would draw near to her in this moment, wrapping Your arms around her and reminding her that she is never alone. Father, we rebuke the spirit of despair that seeks to overwhelm her, and we declare that You are her hope, her strength, and her portion (Psalm 73:26).

Lord, we pray for her husband. We ask that You would break through the hardness of his heart, that he would come to know the emptiness of pursuing happiness outside of You. Soften him, convict him, and if it be Your will, restore their marriage. But if restoration is not Your plan, we ask that You would heal her heart completely, that she would find her identity and security in You alone.

Father, we ask that You would reveal Yourself to her in tangible ways—through Your Word, through the love of Your people, through moments of unexpected peace. Help her to trust that You are working all things together for her good (Romans 8:28), even when she cannot see it. Give her the strength to forgive, the wisdom to seek godly counsel, and the courage to walk forward one step at a time.

We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the One who bore our griefs and carried our sorrows (Isaiah 53:4). May Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Amen.

In the days ahead, we encourage you to immerse yourself in Scripture, especially the Psalms, which give voice to raw emotion while pointing to God’s faithfulness. Surround yourself with believers who can pray with you, weep with you, and remind you of God’s promises. Consider seeking godly counsel from a pastor or Christian counselor who can help you navigate this season with wisdom. And remember: Your worth is not defined by your marital status, but by the fact that you are deeply loved by the Creator of the universe. He has not abandoned you—He is carrying you. *"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still"* (Exodus 14:14).
 
Dear friend, we're right there with you, feeling your heartache. We've been where you are, and we know the pain is real. But remember, God is near. He's not distant, He's right here, holding you, loving you. He hasn't abandoned you. He's got a plan, even if we can't see it yet.

We're praying for your husband too. We're asking God to soften his heart, to help him see the truth. We're believing for restoration, but if it's not God's will, we trust that He'll heal your heart completely. You are loved, deeply. Your worth isn't defined by your marriage, but by the love God has for you.

Let's keep praying, keep trusting. It's okay to be angry, to grieve. God can handle your raw emotions. Just keep holding on to Him. We're here for you, every step of the way. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Praying for you and your request in Jesus. There is quite a lot that God/Jesus does for us that we won’t understand at first but ultimately everything He does is for His Glory and our good. The book of Hosea has promises we can claim in Jesus over ourselves, our spouses, our family and our relationships. I’ll send you something in private.

Have we ever really meditated on Matthew 6 where Jesus instructs us to take no thought for our lives? I have looked at this in terms of the rest of the Bible where I have learned to claim His Promises in Jesus and take on His thoughts for my life. Thank You Lord Jesus for Blessing me to learn to stop thinking about my life, learn to take on Your thoughts for my life and so much more for Your Glory and my good in Jesus! Amen! Thank You Jesus! Glory to You Lord Jesus!!!

Do you Believe Jesus died for our sins, is Risen from the dead, is Preparing a place for us and is about to call us to join Him?

Are you watching for Jesus in the Clouds of Glory? Jesus is about to call us to join Him!

We can do everything Jesus did and more! We can speak; sickness leave in Jesus! Be healed by Jesus stripes! I am healed by Jesus stripes! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!

You can copy and paste this to pray every day and share...

There is nothing that happens for us that is bad except our thoughts about what is happening to us. The Bible says All things work together for our good in Jesus! Look at everything as good!

Sing through out your days Thank You Jesus, Praise You Jesus, Glory to You Lord Jesus or anything that is on your heart to sing to Jesus! It doesn't matter how we sound, Angels will join in with us and Jesus will join in with us as well as fight for us, knock down walls for us, open locks for us, save people for us, evil will flee from us, He heals us and He will over flow His Holy Peace in us.

Praying for others on here and reading your Bible will help you tremendously.

I wanted to commit suicide once, I even came up with a plan. Right before I headed out the door I posted a prayer on here and hoping there might be help from God one last time I opened the Bible and only read take no thought for your life from Matthew 6. I read that before at least 100 times but never really could understand how. This time I took it to heart, all right God I will end my life by not thinking about it. I take no thought, I take no thought, I take no thought over and over and over again I take no thought was my only thought that day. All of a sudden I noticed something, Jesus showed up, all my pains were gone, no neck ache, no back pain, no leg pain from many many accidents I had over the years and no pain in my heart as my wife had left me. I started singing praises and thanks to Jesus and my life has never been the same. My wife returned. It is our obedience to God from His Holy Instructions that makes a difference to His Power of His Promises in our lives.

Be a doer of Jesus friend, it really makes a difference! Thank You Lord Jesus! All things work together for my good in Jesus!

Search the Bible for Jesus' Promises friend, do them and claim them in Jesus! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus! Glory to You Lord Jesus!!!

Powerful healing promise hidden in Proverbs 3:7-8, I am not wise in my own eyes, I fear You Lord, I depart from evil, especially my own evil thoughts and my flesh is healed and my body is refreshed in Jesus.

Praying for others especially in your situation will help you tremendously in yours friend.

Take no thought for your life dear friend and Jesus will take thought for you. Sing praises and thanks to Jesus and He will overflow His Holy Spirit in you and so much more. He will fight for you and give you the desires of your heart.

Pray this prayer look up the verses and pray it again with your friends and family and let's mount up with wings as eagles and soar. Soar with me.

Let Us Pray: God I ask in Jesus' name, bless me to grow closer to You. I long for a more intimate relationship with You. God I take You at Your Word, if I will draw closer to You, You will draw closer to me (James 4:8). Show me how to draw closer to You. Bless me daily to cast off and forsake my thoughts and ways for my life, and exchange them for Your thoughts and ways for my life. Let me think Your thoughts and dream Your dreams for my life. God bless me to live and walk in Your love, mercy and forgiveness (Isaiah 55:7). I confess, I will take no thought for my life. I will trust You Father God to take thought for me and take care of me (Mathew 6:25-34). I will not be wise in my own eyes, I will fear You Lord and depart from evil and my flesh will be healed and my body will be refreshed (Proverbs 3:7-8) daily. Thank You Jesus for Your Promises! Lord make me the Child of God You need me to be in Christ for all those around me and for the world to see (Psalms 128:3). Not by my might, nor by my power, but by Your Spirt Christ Jesus (Zechariah 4:6) this shall happen. And it will happen, it is happening now in Your timing, Power, Strength, Might, and Spirit, Christ Jesus. God all that I have asked of you in this prayer please do the same for all those I love, care about, and every faithful prayer warrior on this site. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You Lord Jesus, my Savior and Lord for answering this prayer with a Yes and Amen.

Bless us to sing praises and thanks to You Lord Jesus so You can fill us with the wine of the Spirit in Jesus Name, Amen.
