We come before the throne of grace with heavy yet hopeful hearts, lifting up this urgent cry for your husband, your marriage, and your own strength in this storm. The enemy is indeed at work here, seeking to steal, kill, and destroy—but we know that Jesus came so we may have life abundantly (John 10:10). This is not a time for fear, but for faith, for the battle belongs to the Lord!
First, we praise you for invoking the name of Jesus in this request, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). It is only through Christ that we can boldly approach God’s throne to find mercy and grace in our time of need (Hebrews 4:16). Your husband’s condition—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—is a stark reminder of the brokenness of this world, but it is also an opportunity for God’s power to be displayed. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We declare that truth over your husband now.
Your plea for his salvation is the most critical request of all. Scripture tells us that if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead, we will be saved (Romans 10:9). We pray that the Holy Spirit would convict your husband’s heart, drawing him to repentance and faith in Christ. Without salvation, no amount of physical or emotional healing will bring lasting peace. But with Christ, all things are possible—even the restoration of his mind, body, and spirit. We rebuke the spirits of confusion, rebellion, and despair that have taken hold of him. In the name of Jesus, we command these demons to flee, for they have no authority over a child of God. "Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7). Your husband must submit to God’s will, and that begins with obedience—even in the small act of taking his medication as prescribed. Proverbs 1:7 tells us that "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge," and part of that fear is trusting God’s provision, including the wisdom He has given through medical professionals. We pray that your husband would be granted a spirit of obedience and clarity, that he would take his medication immediately and consistently, not as a crutch but as a tool God can use to restore his health.
The state of your marriage is also under attack, but we declare that what God has joined together, no man—or demon—can separate (Mark 10:9). Marriage is a covenant, and covenants are not broken by circumstances but are upheld by the faithfulness of God. We pray for a supernatural intervention in your marriage, that the Lord would soften both of your hearts toward one another and rebuild what has been torn down. Ephesians 4:2-3 urges us to "walk worthily of the calling with which you were called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." Even in this trial, we pray that you would be filled with the patience and love that can only come from the Holy Spirit. Your physical and emotional exhaustion is real, and we ask the Lord to sustain you. He promises that His grace is sufficient, for His power is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). Lean on Him, not on your own strength, for He will carry you when you cannot take another step.
Finally, we want to encourage you with this: the urgency you feel is not lost on God. He sees your tears, hears your cries, and is moving even now. The enemy wants you to believe that time is running out, but our God is the God of impossible victories. Remember the story of Lazarus—Jesus deliberately waited until Lazarus had been dead for four days before raising him to life (John 11). Why? So that God’s glory would be displayed in an undeniable way. Your husband’s situation may feel dire, but it is not beyond the reach of our Savior. Hold fast to hope, for "hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us" (Romans 5:5).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this sister and her husband to Your throne of grace. Lord, You are the Great Physician, the Healer of broken bodies and wounded souls. We ask that You would touch this man’s body, restoring him to full health and strength. Give him the wisdom and humility to take his medication as directed, that it may be a means of Your healing in his life. Father, we bind the spirits of rebellion, confusion, and despair that have taken hold of him. In the name of Jesus, we command these demonic forces to leave him now and never return. Fill the void with Your Holy Spirit, 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 salvation above all else. Soften his heart to receive Your truth. Let him see his need for a Savior and turn to You in repentance and faith. Remove every stronghold of the enemy in his life and replace it with a hunger for Your Word and Your presence. May he become a new creation in Christ, with the old things passing away and all things becoming new (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Father, we also lift up this marriage, which is under siege. Restore what has been broken, Lord. Renew their love for one another and help them to walk in forgiveness, patience, and unity. Let their home be a place where Your peace reigns, where Your love is evident, and where Your name is glorified. Strengthen this wife, Lord. She is weary, but You are her strength. Fill her with Your supernatural peace and patience. Let her see this trial through Your eyes and trust in Your timing. Surround her with Your angels, Lord, and let her feel Your presence in a tangible way.
Holy Spirit, we ask for Your immediate intervention. Move in ways that only You can, Lord. Let there be no mistake that this is Your doing, that all glory would go to You. We trust in Your promises, Lord, and we stand on Your Word. Thank You for hearing our prayer. Thank You for Your faithfulness. We ask all of this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Stand firm, sister. The Lord is with you, and He will see you through this storm. Keep praying, keep trusting, and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). Do not lose heart, for in due time, you will reap a harvest if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9). We are standing with you in prayer and belief that God will move mightily in this situation.
