prayer for guidance

Praise the Lord,

Previously also I have shared multiple prayer requests for same; now again I am humbly asking you to pray for me, as I am going through the hardest season of my life and I need your prayers and support.

I got married on 3rd July 2020. In June 2023, I came to another study to begin my PhD studies, while my wife has been posted in different city. In Feb 2024, she filed for divorce in her hometown Court. As per law her hometowm court does not fall under our jurisdiction; I am praying that on the next date 27 Oct 2025 the case will be dismissed or withdrawn. I trust the Lord, but I must be honest: lately I am not even sure whether I fully believe like I used to. I am really sad with my life.

At the end of Dec 2024 she started calling me at midnight when she was afraid. On 1 Jan 2025 she called to wish me, then asked me to meet her. I went to meet her. We spent a whole day together: watched a movie, had lunch and prayed together. That day she said she would give me one more chance and we could try for 3 months. She said she would talk to her parents and let me know.

The next day things were up and down. She told me she didn’t think it would work; then at 4 AM she called and said she wants to trust me again but was afraid to tell her parents. We planned that I would visit her again from 10–12 Jan 2025, meet her, and then speak to her parents. By evening she changed her mind again and told me not to come. She said divorce felt like a tough road and that she took what she called “the easy path” to come back to me — then later she said she didn’t want to continue.

In March 2025, she wanted again to return to me but when she spoke to her mother, her mother wrongly advised her that if she was only afraid of a long court process and wanted to reconcile, she should not go back to me. My wife is also afraid to speak to her father about reconciliation, so she has never told him the full truth. This has created a wall between us.

Another point is that in our marriage, we never had sexual relations. She had fears, and my own medical condition (sickle cell anemia) created stress that worsened into erectile dysfunction. But doctors have confirmed I can have children and that my condition is treatable with proper support. I had shared about my medical condition before marriage, but I did not tell her the exact name “Sickle Cell Anemia" which was unintentional. Now she repeatedly uses this point against me as a reason for separation, saying I hid it.

There is also the deep hurt of her relationships: during the last year she dated two men. One was an older professor in London who even visited her, and later another man in India — she liked him and his family very much, and was even considering marriage with him after the divorce. She later told me she said no, but these things broke me.

She also keeps bringing up petty fights from 2022 (about food and small issues with my family), and she worries constantly about my health — she says she is afraid about how long I will live and who will take care of children if anything happens. I explained doctors’ opinions: my condition does not mean I cannot have children, and my erectile dysfunction can be treated — doctors said it’s manageable with support. I told her I will take every step and she only needs to take one.

From March–May 2025 she spoke to me again on calls, but then in May 2025 she blocked me everywhere. Since then I have not seen or heard from her — she said she would call the police if I went to see her. It is now September 2025 and I have not spoken to her since May 2025 (and not seen her since Feb 2025). The stress has destroyed my sleep, my health, my studies, my career and my finances. I have started avoiding people, I stutter sometimes, and my confidence is gone.

I am ashamed to say that I have also fallen into phone addiction and pornography — things I never used to do when I spent 1–2 hours daily in prayer. I feel ashamed, weak and like a loser. I am trying to work on myself, and I still hope for reconciliation, but I am very tired. Sometimes I even wonder: should I continue holding on, or should I let go and divorce her? I truly do not know what to do, and I need God’s direction. It will be almost two years in coming feb since separation.

Please pray for me. I am placing all this before the Lord but I feel confused — I don’t always know if I believe like I used to. I am sad, but I lean on Jesus and on your prayers. Please uphold me and pray fervently for my marriage and healing.

Regards,
 
We lift you up before the Lord with deep compassion, for we see the weight of sorrow, betrayal, and confusion you carry. Your pain is real, and your weariness is understood—but take heart, for the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We must first address a critical truth: **salvation, healing, and restoration come only through the name of Jesus Christ.** You mentioned leaning on Jesus, and we rejoice in that, but we urge you to *cling to Him alone* as your anchor, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If your faith feels weak, cry out to Him as the father of the demon-possessed boy did: *"I believe! Help my unbelief!"* (Mark 9:24). He will meet you there.

Your marriage is under fierce attack, and we grieve with you over the brokenness—both the infidelity and the emotional turmoil. The Lord *hates* divorce (Malachi 2:16), and His heart is for reconciliation *if it is possible* and aligned with His will. Yet we must speak truth in love: **your wife’s actions—her relationships with other men, her indecision, and her refusal to honor her covenant—are sinful and destructive.** While we pray for her repentance and restoration, we also recognize that *you cannot force her to return.* Proverbs 21:1 warns, *"The king’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires."* Only God can soften her heart. Your role is to trust Him, obey His Word, and walk in holiness *regardless of her choices.*

We must also address the sexual immorality in your marriage. The Bible is clear that marriage is to be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept undefiled (Hebrews 13:4). While your medical condition has created challenges, the enemy has used it to sow division. We encourage you to seek *godly* medical and pastoral counsel to address this with wisdom and transparency. If reconciliation occurs, this area must be approached with patience, prayer, and professional support—*but not with shame.* God’s power is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9), and He can redeem even this.

As for your wife’s past relationships, we rebuke the spirit of jealousy and bitterness that may be taking root in your heart. Forgiveness is not optional for the believer (Colossians 3:13), but it is also not a denial of the pain she has caused. Jesus forgave *while* on the cross—*in the midst* of His suffering. You can do the same by His strength. However, **trust must be rebuilt through genuine repentance and consistent godly behavior on her part.** If she returns, boundaries and accountability will be essential.

Your struggle with pornography and phone addiction is a *direct result* of the enemy’s lies that you are powerless. But *greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world* (1 John 4:4). **Repent now.** Confess this sin to the Lord and to a trusted, mature believer who can walk with you in accountability (James 5:16). Flee from sexual immorality (1 Corinthians 6:18) and fill your mind with Scripture (Philippians 4:8). Replace the hours spent in sin with prayer, worship, and service. The Lord *will* restore your purity if you surrender this to Him.

Now, regarding the divorce proceedings: we pray that if it is God’s will, the case *would* be dismissed or withdrawn. But we also prepare you for the possibility that it may not. **Your ultimate hope is not in a restored marriage, but in Christ alone.** If the Lord calls you to release her, He will give you the strength to walk that path with dignity. Either way, *do not beg or pursue her in desperation.* A man after God’s own heart (like David) waits on the Lord, even in the valley (Psalm 27:14).

Here is our prayer for you:

*"Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our brother, who is weary, wounded, and in desperate need of Your touch. Lord Jesus, You see his tears, his sleepless nights, and the depth of his sorrow. We ask You to *restore his faith*—not in circumstances, but in You. Holy Spirit, fill him afresh with Your power, that he may rise from this ashes of despair and walk in victory over sin, addiction, and fear.

Father, we plead for his marriage. If it is Your will, soften his wife’s heart. Expose the lies she has believed and the sin that has ensnared her. Bring godly conviction upon her, that she may repent of her adultery, her deception, and her hardness of heart. Lord, if this marriage can be restored in a way that honors You, *do it*—but only if it aligns with Your perfect will. Give our brother the wisdom to know when to hold on and when to release, and the courage to obey You either way.

We rebuke the spirits of confusion, despair, and lust that have sought to destroy him. Break every chain of addiction in Jesus’ name. Restore his sleep, his health, his mind, and his purpose. Surround him with godly community—men of faith who will stand with him, pray for him, and hold him accountable.

Lord, we ask for supernatural provision for his studies, his finances, and his future. Let him see Your faithfulness in the small things, that his trust in You may be renewed. And above all, Father, *draw him closer to You.* Let this season of suffering produce in him a faith that is unshakable, a love that is selfless, and a testimony that glorifies Your name.

We declare that *no weapon formed against him shall prosper* (Isaiah 54:17). May he walk in forgiveness, in purity, and in the assurance that You are working all things for his good (Romans 8:28). In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen."*

Brother, **stand firm.** The Lord has not abandoned you. This season is not the end of your story—it is a refining fire. Seek Him first (Matthew 6:33), and He *will* direct your steps. If you have not already, we urge you to find a biblical counselor or pastor to walk with you through this. You were not meant to carry this alone.

Finally, we leave you with this promise:
*"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted,
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
but the Lord delivers him out of them all."
(Psalm 34:18-19, WEB)*

**You are not crushed beyond repair. You are being prepared for a testimony of God’s faithfulness.** Keep fighting the good fight. We are standing with you in prayer.

Bring conviction to his wife's heart, and soften it towards repentance and restoration. But, Lord, we trust that Your will is perfect, and we submit to it (Romans 12:2).

3. **Freedom from Addiction**: Jesus, deliver our ### from the grip of pornography and phone addiction. Break every chain that binds him, and fill him with a desire for holiness (2 Corinthians 10:5).

4. **Wisdom and Discernment**: Lord, give our ### wisdom to know when to hold on and when to let go. Help him to discern Your voice above all others (John 10:27).

Remember, our ###, God is near to the brokenhearted. He sees your tears and hears your cries. Trust in Him, even when the path is unclear. You are not crushed beyond repair; you are being prepared for a testimony of God's faithfulness (Psalm 34:18-19).
