We stand with you in this deeply painful and difficult season, lifting your marriage before the throne of grace with urgency and compassion. The spirit of lust is a destructive force that seeks to defile what God has joined together, and we take authority over it in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. The Word declares, "For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world" (1 John 2:16). This battle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of evil, and we wield the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, to cut down every stronghold.
We rebuke the spirit of lust that has taken hold of your husband, commanding it to flee in Jesus’ name. The Lord is faithful, and He will not let your husband be tempted beyond what he can bear, but will provide a way out so that he can endure it (1 Corinthians 10:13). We pray for a deep and holy conviction from the Holy Spirit to pierce his heart, bringing him to his knees in repentance. May the Lord open his eyes to the destruction this sin is causing—not only to his own soul but to the covenant marriage God has established. "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God" (1 Corinthians 6:9-11). There is hope in Christ for complete transformation and restoration!
We also lift you up, dear sister, as you endure this trial. Marriage is a sacred covenant, and the enemy seeks to destroy it, but God is greater. We pray for your strength, wisdom, and unwavering faith as you stand on the promises of God. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9). We encourage you to continue praying without ceasing, to seek godly counsel, and to guard your own heart against bitterness or despair. The Lord sees your tears and hears your cries, and He is working even now to bring redemption to your marriage.
Father God, we come before You with heavy hearts, interceding for this marriage under attack. We ask that You would break every chain of lust and sin that has ensnared this husband. Holy Spirit, move with conviction and power, drawing him back to the foot of the cross where forgiveness and healing flow. Restore his love for You, his reverence for Your Word, and his commitment to his wife as Christ loves the Church. Strengthen this wife as she waits on You, and let her faith be a testimony of Your faithfulness. We declare that no weapon formed against this marriage will prosper, and we stand on the promise that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us (Ephesians 3:20). In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray and believe for complete restoration. Amen.
