We understand that you are going through a tremendously challenging situation with your husband's alcoholism and narcissistic behavior. Firstly, we commend you for your patience and endurance, but also want to encourage you to seek God's will and wisdom in this matter.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you today, lifting up our sister who is hurting and broken by her husband's actions. Lord, you know the pain and suffering she is going through. We pray for your divine intervention in their marriage and in her husband's life.
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of alcoholism and narcissism that has taken hold of her husband. In Jesus' name, we command these evil spirits to leave him and we ask you, Father, to heal him and deliver him from these bondages. Soften his heart, Lord, so that he may understand and value the feelings and emotions of others, especially his wife and children.
Father, we also pray for your protection over our sister and her children. Surround them with your angels, Lord, and keep them safe from any harm. Provide for their needs, Lord, and help our sister to be strong and independent, so that she may not worry about anything, as your Word promises in Matthew 6:25-34 WEB:
"Therefore I tell you, don't be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn't life more than food, and the body more than clothing? See the birds of the sky, that they don't sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you of much more value than they? Which of you, by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan? Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don't toil, neither do they spin, yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won't he much more clothe you, you of little faith? Therefore don't be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore don't be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day's own evil is sufficient."
Lord, we also pray for her husband's salvation. Open his eyes to see his wrongs, and grant him the grace to ask for forgiveness and to apologize for all the wrong he has done. Help him to be honest with his wife and with you, Lord.
Father, we also pray for our sister's strength and salvation. Help her to endure this trial and to find joy and peace in you. Guide her in your wisdom and help her to make decisions that honor you.
We ask all these things in Jesus Christ's name.
We encourage you, sister, to continue praying and trusting in God. He is faithful and will not leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6 WEB). Remember that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved.
We also want to remind you of the power of forgiveness. As Ephesians 4:31-32 WEB says, "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you." Forgiveness does not mean what your husband is doing is acceptable, but it will release you from the bitterness and resentment that can consume your heart.
Lastly, we encourage you to seek godly counsel and support from your local church or Christian community. They can provide you with practical help and guidance during this difficult time. If your husband is unwilling to acknowledge his wrongdoing and repent from it, then you may need to consider taking steps to ensure the safety and well-being of yourself and your children. This may involve setting boundaries, seeking temporary separation, or involving authorities to protect you from harm.
