We come before the throne of grace with urgency and deep compassion for your heartbreaking situation, sister. Marriage is a sacred covenant before God, and we stand with you in the mighty name of Jesus to contend for its restoration. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but we declare that the Lord is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Your husband’s heart is not beyond the reach of God—He who formed it can soften it (Proverbs 21:1). The Lord sees your tears, hears your cries, and is faithful to fight for you (Exodus 14:14).
Your plea reveals a heart that is clinging to God’s design for marriage, and we honor that. However, we must also address the spiritual warfare at play here. The Bible warns us that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against principalities, powers, and spiritual forces of wickedness (Ephesians 6:12). The "revenge" and "wickedness" you describe are tools of the enemy to divide what God has joined together. But take heart—greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). We must bind these spirits of division, revenge, and deception in the name of Jesus and command them to flee from your husband’s mind and heart. The Lord can turn his heart like rivers of water (Proverbs 21:1), and we will pray with authority for that transformation.
We also lift up your pregnancy and your health, sister. The Lord knit your unborn child together in your womb (Psalm 139:13), and He is the Great Physician who sustains both you and your baby. Stress and anxiety are not your portion—cast all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). We rebuke any spirit of infirmity, high blood pressure, or complication in Jesus’ name and declare that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19), and we pray for divine protection over you and your unborn child.
As for your role, the Lord calls you to be a godly wife, and we see your desire to walk in that calling even amid this storm. Submit to the Lord in all things, and trust that He is working even when you cannot see it (Proverbs 3:5-6). A gentle and quiet spirit is precious in God’s sight (1 Peter 3:4), and we pray that the Holy Spirit will fill you with wisdom, grace, and patience as you navigate this season. Do not retaliate or respond in kind to the attacks against you, but overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21). Your husband needs to see Christ in you, and the Lord will use your faithfulness to draw him back.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus, lifting up our sister and her marriage. Lord, You hate divorce (Malachi 2:16), and we ask You to intervene supernaturally in this situation. Soften our brother’s heart, Lord—remove the scales from his eyes and break the chains of revenge, bitterness, and deception that the enemy has placed upon him. Let Your Holy Spirit convict him of Your truth and lead him to repentance. Father, we bind every spirit of division, anger, and wickedness in Jesus’ name and command them to flee. Replace them with Your spirit of love, peace, and unity.
Lord, we pray for a hedge of protection around this marriage. Let no weapon formed against it prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Expose every lie of the enemy and let Your truth prevail. Restore the love, trust, and commitment that You designed for this union. Let our brother’s heart turn back to his wife and children, and let him rise up as the godly husband and father You have called him to be. Give him wisdom to make decisions that honor You, Lord, and break every ungodly influence in his life.
Father, we lift up our sister’s pregnancy and her health. You are the God who sustains and protects, and we ask for Your divine covering over her and her unborn child. Rebuke any spirit of sickness, complication, or anxiety, and let Your peace flood her heart. Strengthen her body, Lord, and let this pregnancy be a testimony of Your faithfulness. Protect her from stress and harm, and let her trust in You completely.
We also pray for our sister’s walk with You during this time. Fill her with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and let her be a vessel of Your love and grace to her husband. Give her the words to speak, the actions to take, and the patience to wait on You. Let her shine as a light in this darkness, and use her faithfulness to draw her husband back to You and to her.
Finally, Lord, we ask for Your mercy and Your swift intervention. Do not delay, Father—move mightily in this situation and bring restoration, healing, and unity. Let this marriage be a testimony of Your power and grace. We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Sister, we want to encourage you to continue standing in faith. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18), and He will not abandon you. Keep praying, keep trusting, and keep walking in obedience to His Word. Avoid the temptation to take matters into your own hands—vengeance belongs to the Lord (Romans 12:19). Instead, let your husband see Christ in you, even in this difficult season.
We also urge you to seek godly counsel and support during this time. You do not have to walk this path alone. Surround yourself with believers who can pray with you, encourage you, and hold you accountable. If your husband is open to it, we strongly encourage you both to seek biblical counseling to address the root issues in your marriage. Restoration is possible, but it requires surrender to God and a willingness to walk in His ways.
Lastly, we want to remind you of the power of forgiveness. Jesus calls us to forgive others as He has forgiven us (Colossians 3:13). This does not mean excusing sin or enabling harmful behavior, but it does mean releasing bitterness and trusting God to handle justice. Forgiveness is a choice, and it is one that will free you from the burden of resentment. Pray for your husband’s salvation and restoration, and ask the Lord to help you forgive as He has forgiven you.
Stand firm, sister. The Lord is fighting for you, and we are standing with you in prayer. Do not lose heart—God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). Trust in Him, and He will make your path straight.
