I've been married to my husband for almost 8 years. He is a wonderful man when sober, but anymore those moments are getting so few with his aggression for drinking. He has lost his favorite job and he is making wrong choices which are hurting me and my family and marriage. He drinks all day and fights with me and tells me he wants to suicide and then suddenly he says so many hurtful things to me about my parents and myself. I am taking full responsibility to do everything for him and my 5-year-old daughter and I am pregnant with our second child going through complex and can't rest with his behavior. I have been feeling depressed, overwhelmed, and tired. He forgets I am pregnant today and he says so what if I am pregnant, I am going through more things, you're pregnancy and outs me down and says hurtful words over my parents and doesn't even care about my pregnancy. Please pray God's intervention to soften his heart and reconcile the marriage God's mercy and love and favor for me in his eyes to see me through God's love as I always stand by him to support him. I can't take this burden and lain anymore even his suicidal thoughts are attacking me in spirit too where I feel like hurting myself please intervene for me indibt now what and how and anymore. Please pray for loving communication, care, support, and God to convict my husband's heart to do right things. When I tell him I have abdomen pain he says take medicine and sleep makes me feel so lonely and sad.

Oh, Lord, you know what a mess this is. My husband is addicted. I know it's an "illness", but I'm so angry.

I feel like his "illness" is killing me. And, he doesn't seem to care. He doesn't seem to really care about anything.

Oh, Lord, can I believe you can rescue us in this mess? Can I believe there is hope?

Please, Lord, let my husband be healed. Please save us. Please, somehow, let this pattern be broken before something much worse happens to him, to us. Please let me love him with your own love. Tough love, but faithful love, faith-filled love. And teach him how to take care of his family and love us through your love, God.

I cry for your mercy, God, allow me to be at peace and give me rest, God, and when I wake up tomorrow let love be seen in my marriage, steady love. Help us as a couple communicate happiness, love, and care for one another with you being in the center. Make him a God-fearing man, Lord, after your heart. Help and protect me and my family from every attack of the enemy and protect my little one in the womb, God.

Merciful Father, soften my husband’s heart towards me.

Almighty God, restore the love we once shared.

Oh Jesus, heal the wounds in our marriage.

Blessed God, guide us back to each other.

My Father, grant me wisdom in my actions and words.

Lord, let Your transformative love renew our relationship.

Heavenly Father, help me surrender my fears to You.

God of reconciliation, bridge the gap between us.

Lord, teach me to trust in Your perfect timing.

Father, give me patience as I wait for my husband’s return.

Jesus, be the center of our marriage once again.

Holy Spirit, convict my husband’s heart of Your love.

Lord, help me forgive past hurts and move forward.

God of hope, renew my faith in our marriage.

Father, show me areas where I need to grow and change.

Lord, break down the walls of pride and stubbornness.

Jesus, teach us to communicate with love and respect.

Heavenly Father, restore intimacy in our relationship.

God of miracles, do the impossible in our marriage.

Lord, help me to love my husband unconditionally.

Father, give me strength to persevere in prayer.

Jesus, be the firm foundation of our marriage.

Holy Spirit, guide me in showing Christ-like love.

Lord, help us rediscover the joy we once shared.

God of peace, calm the storms in our relationship.

Oh, dear sister, we hear the deep anguish in your heart, and we weep with you over the brokenness in your marriage. The weight you carry is immense—caring for your daughter, carrying another child, enduring the pain of your husband’s addiction, and facing the spiritual and emotional warfare that has invaded your home. But we want you to know this: **you are not alone.** The God who sees your tears, who hears your cries in the night, and who holds your unborn child in His hands is mighty to save. He is the God who parts seas, who raises the dead, and who redeems what seems impossible. Your marriage is not beyond His reach.

First, we must speak truth into this darkness. Your husband’s addiction is not just an "illness"—it is a **spiritual stronghold**, a bondage that has taken root in his heart, and it is destroying him, you, and your family. The Bible is clear: *"Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, which you are"* (1 Corinthians 3:16-17, WEB). Your husband is not just hurting himself; he is defiling the temple of the Holy Spirit, and his actions are grieving God. His words—his cruelty, his neglect, his threats of suicide—are not just the result of alcohol; they are the fruit of a heart that has turned away from the Lord. *"The tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity... it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by Gehenna"* (James 3:6, WEB). His words are weapons, and they are being wielded by the enemy to bring destruction.

Yet even now, we declare that **God is greater**. *"No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it"* (1 Corinthians 10:13, WEB). Your husband *can* be set free, but it will require **repentance**, **surrender to Christ**, and a **firm stand against the enemy**. You cannot save him—only Jesus can. But you can pray, you can speak truth, and you can set boundaries that honor God.

We must also address something critical: **your safety and the safety of your children must come first.** The Bible calls husbands to *"love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it"* (Ephesians 5:25, WEB). Your husband is not loving you as Christ loves the church. Instead, his actions are putting you and your children in danger—**emotionally, spiritually, and possibly physically.** If he is threatening suicide, this is an emergency. You must seek help—from your church, from trusted believers, and possibly from professionals who can intervene. *"Rescue those who are being led away to death! Indeed, hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter!"* (Proverbs 24:11, WEB). You are not betraying him by seeking help; you are obeying God by protecting the lives He has entrusted to you.

Now, let us pray over you, your husband, and your family with the authority of Christ Jesus:

**Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious sister who is broken, weary, and overwhelmed. Lord, You see the tears she has cried in secret. You hear the desperate pleas of her heart. You know the fear that grips her when her husband rages, when he drinks, when he speaks death over himself and over her. But You, O God, are the **God of breakthrough**. You are the **God who heals**. You are the **God who restores what the locusts have eaten** (Joel 2:25).

We bind the spirit of addiction in the name of Jesus. We break its power over our brother’s mind, body, and soul. *"No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is from me,"* says Yahweh (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). Satan, we command you to **release this man** in Jesus’ name. Every chain of alcoholism, every spirit of depression, every lie that tells him he is worthless or that there is no hope—we **break it now** by the blood of Jesus.

Lord, convict his heart. Let him **see the destruction** he is bringing upon his family. Let him **feel the weight of his sin** before You. Bring him to his knees in repentance. *"For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death"* (2 Corinthians 7:10, WEB). Father, let him **encounter You** in a way he cannot ignore. Send Your Holy Spirit to **wrestle with him** until he surrenders.

But Lord, we also pray for **wisdom and strength** for our sister. She is carrying so much—literally and figuratively. *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light"* (Matthew 11:28-30, WEB). Father, **lift this burden** from her shoulders. Give her **rest**. Surround her with Your angels. Let her feel Your presence in the night when she is awake with worry. *"Yahweh is close to the brokenhearted. He saves those who are crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB).

We pray for **protection** over her and her children. Place a hedge of fire around them (Zechariah 2:5). Let no weapon formed against them prosper. Guard her unborn child, Lord. Let this baby be a **sign of hope**, a reminder that You are **doing a new thing** in this family (Isaiah 43:19).

We pray for **godly counsel** to come into her life—women of faith who will stand with her, a church that will **hold her husband accountable**, and wisdom to know when to speak, when to act, and when to set boundaries. *"Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established"* (Proverbs 15:22, WEB).

Father, we ask for **a miracle of reconciliation**. Restore what has been broken. *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds"* (Psalm 147:3, WEB). Let our brother **see his wife as You see her**—a precious daughter, fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). Let him **rise up as the man You called him to be**—a protector, a provider, a priest over his home. *"Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be bitter against them"* (Colossians 3:19, WEB). Softens his heart, Lord. Break his pride. Humble him before You.

And finally, Lord, we pray for **our sister’s heart**. The anger she feels is justified, but we ask that You **guard her from bitterness**. *"Be angry, and don’t sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath"* (Ephesians 4:26, WEB). Let her **release this to You**. Let her **forgive**, not because her husband deserves it, but because **You have forgiven her**. *"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses"* (Matthew 6:14-15, WEB).

We declare that **this marriage will not end in destruction**. We declare that **this family will be restored**. We declare that **our brother will be set free** from the grip of alcohol and that **our sister will walk in victory**, not as a victim, but as a **daughter of the Most High God**.

We ask all this in the **powerful, matchless name of Jesus Christ**, who conquered sin, death, and the grave. **No stronghold can stand against Him.** Amen and amen.

Sister, we urge you to **take action** today:
1. **Reach out to your church leadership.** You need support. You cannot walk this alone.
2. **Consider professional help**—for your husband’s addiction and for your own emotional and spiritual well-being. There is no shame in seeking counseling.
3. **Set boundaries for your safety.** If your husband becomes violent or his threats escalate, you must remove yourself and your children from harm. This is **not unloving**; it is wise.
4. **Immerse yourself in the Word.** *"Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path"* (Psalm 119:105, WEB). Let God’s truth be your anchor.
5. **Pray without ceasing.** *"The effective, earnest prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective"* (James 5:16, WEB).

You are **not powerless**. You have **the name of Jesus**, and at that name, **every knee must bow** (Philippians 2:10). Keep fighting. Keep believing. **God is not done.**

1. **Healing and deliverance for your husband:** Father, we ask that you would heal your son from his addiction. Break the chains of alcoholism that bind him, and deliver him from the spirit of aggression and depression. Convict his heart, Lord, and bring him to his knees in repentance. Let him encounter Your love in a way he cannot ignore.

2. **Protection and peace for you:** Lord, protect your daughter and her unborn child. Surround them with Your angels and grant them rest and peace. Give her strength to set boundaries for her safety and wisdom to know when to speak, act, and when to seek help.

3. **Restoration of your marriage:** God, restore the love and joy that once filled your marriage. Help your husband to see you as You see you - a precious daughter, fearfully and wonderfully made. Let him arise to be the man You've called him to be - a protector, provider, and priest over his home.

4. **Forgiveness and freedom for you:** Lord, help your daughter to forgive as she has been forgiven. Release her from bitterness and anger, and fill her with Your love. Give her the strength to persevere in prayer and trust in Your perfect timing.

5. **A miracle of reconciliation:** Father, we ask for a miracle in your marriage. Restore what has been broken, and let your husband see the destruction he's causing. Send Your Holy Spirit to wrestle with him until he surrenders.

We declare that this marriage will not end in destruction, but will be restored by the power of Jesus' name. We ask all this in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.
