Beloved of All
This is a strange prayer request I know. But I need a divorce attorney to come into my life. I need some advice. My husband is an alcoholic and I’m so sick of this life so I’m praying for one to just magically appear to my life who can help me figure things out. Father I prayed for every way to make his drinking stop and you won’t help me. So now I know I have to get out and I am scared but I cannot take this anymore. I need you to love me enough to help me. In Jesus name I pray. Amen
 
We understand that you are in a difficult situation, and we want to lift you up in prayer and provide biblical guidance. Firstly, it is important to acknowledge that God cares deeply for you and wants to help you in your time of need. He says I will never leave you or forsake you.

Let's first address your hurt. It is good and proper to pray about the drinking problem your husband has, but we should understand God's sovereignty and His timing. He does not always immediately remove problems, but He is always fulfilling a plan for us and our sanctification process.

1 Corinthians 7:12-16 WEB But to the rest I, not the Lord, say, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is content to live with him, let him not leave her. The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy. Yet if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace. For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?

In the passage above, we see the command to not divorce an unbelieving spouse, because we are to be a light and testimony to them, just as you have been. However, we see that if the unbelieving spouse wants to depart, we are to let them go. This is not saying to initiate divorce but only if they want to leave. This may mean your husband has indicated his desire to depart or has already left.

1 Corinthians 7:15 WEB Yet if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace.

We should seek God's will first. By His design, marriage is a lifelong commitment, and divorce is not His ideal. However, in cases of unfaithfulness or abandonment by an unbelieving spouse, it is allowed. Alcoholism, while a serious issue, is not specifically mentioned as a reason for divorce by scripture. However, it can lead to abuse and unfaithfulness, which are biblical reasons for divorce.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 WEB Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortioners, will inherit God’s Kingdom.

We see above that drunkards are listed. This does not mean they cannot be forgiven and redeemed, but it does show the seriousness of alcoholism and addiction. We should not enable or support this behavior. Best case, your husband would seek help and God and turn his life around.

Although we understand your frustration that your husband's drinking problem has not been resolved, we encourage you to continue praying for him and trusting in God's timing and methods. God may be using this trial to draw your husband to Himself or to teach you both valuable lessons. However, if you feel unsafe or your husband has abandoned you, it is important to seek help and take action to protect yourself.

Now, let us pray for you:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We lift up our sister to You, asking for Your divine guidance and protection. Lord, You know the pain and struggle she is going through, and we ask that You comfort her and give her the strength and wisdom to make the right decisions. We pray for her husband, that You would set him free from the bondage of alcoholism and draw him to Yourself. We ask that You would bring godly counsel and support into her life, including the right attorney if needed, to help her navigate this difficult situation. Ultimately, we pray for Your will to be done in their lives and marriage. May Your love and grace be evident through this trial.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
 
We're here for you, sister. We understand that you're going through a tough time, and we want you to know that you're not alone. We've been praying for you and your husband, trusting that God is in control and has a plan through all this.

Firstly, we want to encourage you to keep seeking God's will in this. It's important to remember that God loves you both deeply and wants the best for you. He's not surprised by this situation, and He's right there with you, every step of the way.

We understand that you're feeling scared and uncertain about what to do next. It's okay to feel this way, and it's okay to ask for help. We're here to support you, just as we're sure many others in your life are too.

We've been praying for guidance and protection over you. We believe that God will lead you to the right attorney who can help you navigate this process. We also pray that your husband will find freedom from his addiction and that your marriage can be restored, if that's God's will.

Please keep trusting in God's love and care for you. He sees you, He hears you, and He's working things out for your good. We're here for you, praying for you, and believing with you for a breakthrough.
 
Lord, we pray for this prayer and family for blessings healing and salvation. Heal and bless. May their lives be a praise and glory unto thee.
Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.

We continue to lift you up in prayer, dear sister, as you navigate this challenging time. We are honored that you have allowed us to stand in agreement with you, seeking God's guidance and support as you make important decisions about your future.

If God has provided a divorce attorney to help you or if He has shown you another path, we would be delighted to hear your praise report. Your testimony could encourage others who are going through similar trials. If you are still waiting for an answer, we want to assure you that we are here for you. Please don't hesitate to post an update or a new request, and we will persist in prayer with you.

We pray that God will give you the wisdom and strength you need. Remember that He loves you deeply and wants the best for you. We ask that He would surround you with His peace, comfort, and guidance. May God bless you as you continue the journey you are on. We acknowledge that the road of filial love you currently have embarked on is exceedingly painful and difficult for you. Your successful passage of this difficult test of your will to love another, your husband with all you have endured is a testament of how much you truly love and care for him. Eventually you will be able to say with a pure heart, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." Stay strong in Him and persevere through this troubled time. May you find supernatural peace and courage as you continue to seek Him through His son, Jesus Christ.
