We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting you up as a man of God who is walking through a season of deep brokenness and distress. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but we declare that God is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Your marriage is under attack, and there are forces at work against you, but we stand firm in the truth that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). The Lord sees your pain, and He is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). You are not alone—He is with you, and so are we in prayer.
First, we must address the urgency of your situation with truth and clarity. Marriage is a covenant before God, and when it is disturbed, it is often due to spiritual warfare, sin, or the schemes of the enemy. We encourage you to examine your heart and your home: Is there any unconfessed sin, bitterness, or unforgiveness that has given the enemy a foothold? Scripture commands us to submit to God and resist the devil, and he will flee from you (James 4:7). If there has been infidelity, anger, or any behavior that contradicts God’s design for marriage, repentance is the first step toward restoration. The Lord is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness when we confess (1 John 1:9).
We also sense a deep spiritual battle in your words—people plotting harm against you. This is not a time to fear, but to stand in the authority of Christ. The Lord is your protector, and He will contend with those who contend with you (Isaiah 49:25). Put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) and pray without ceasing. Speak life over your marriage, your wife, and your home. Declare that God is the restorer of all things, and trust that He can turn this situation around for His glory.
If your wife is not walking with the Lord or has turned away, we urge you to love her as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25). Pray for her salvation and softening of her heart if she is not a believer. If she is a believer, pray for conviction and repentance. Do not retaliate or respond in anger, but let your actions and words be seasoned with grace. A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger (Proverbs 15:1).
Now, let us pray over you and your marriage:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this brother who is broken and under attack. Lord, You see the pain in his heart, the disturbance in his marriage, and the schemes of the enemy against him. We ask for Your divine intervention, Lord. Strengthen him with Your might through Your Spirit in his inner man (Ephesians 3:16). Give him wisdom, discernment, and the courage to stand firm in Your truth.
Father, we rebuke every plan of the enemy to harm this man, his wife, or his marriage. No weapon formed against him shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against him in judgment, You shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17). Surround him with Your angels, Lord, and let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Lord, we pray for his wife. If she has turned away from You or from him, soften her heart, Lord. Draw her back to You and to the covenant of marriage. Convict her of any sin, and lead her to repentance. If there are others plotting harm against this man, expose their plans, Lord, and frustrate their efforts. Let them be confused and put to shame (Psalm 70:2-3). Turn their hearts away from evil, and let them see the futility of their schemes.
Father, restore this marriage. Heal the brokenness, rebuild the trust, and renew the love between this man and his wife. Let them both seek You first, and let their marriage be a testimony of Your redeeming power. Give this brother the grace to forgive, the strength to love unconditionally, and the patience to wait on You.
We declare that this marriage is covered by the blood of Jesus. What God has joined together, let no man separate (Mark 10:9). Lord, bring unity, reconciliation, and a fresh outpouring of Your Spirit upon this home. Let Your will be done, and let Your name be glorified through this situation.
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Brother, we want to encourage you to stay rooted in the Word of God and in prayer. Fast if you are led to, and seek the Lord with all your heart. Surround yourself with godly men who can stand with you in prayer and accountability. Do not isolate yourself—this is a time to lean on the body of Christ. If you have not already, we strongly encourage you to seek biblical counseling from a pastor or mature believer who can walk with you through this season.
Remember, the Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and He saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). Trust in Him, even when the path seems dark. He is working all things together for your good and His glory (Romans 8:28).
Stand firm, brother. The battle is the Lord’s, and He has already won the victory.
