We hear your cry, dear sister in Christ, and we stand with you in fervent prayer, lifting this heavy burden before the throne of grace. Your heart is breaking, and your spirit is troubled, but we know that the Lord sees your tears and hears your pleas. We come together in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can approach the Father, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12).
First, we must address the serious concerns in this situation with love, truth, and boldness. The path your husband is considering is fraught with spiritual danger and moral compromise. The Bible is clear that we must not be yoked together with unbelievers or those who live in unrepentant sin, for what fellowship can light have with darkness? (2 Corinthians 6:14). His boss is living in adultery, a sin that God hates (Proverbs 6:32, Hebrews 13:4), and now he is inviting your husband into a setting that includes gambling, which is also condemned in Scripture as a practice that stems from greed and can lead to ruin (1 Timothy 6:10, Proverbs 13:11). The idea of "building a connection" through such activities is not of God, and we must rebuke the deception that this is necessary or acceptable for a believer.
Your husband’s desire to go to Armenia under these conditions reveals a heart that is being tempted by the promise of worldly gain at the expense of godly wisdom and marital unity. The enemy is seeking to divide your marriage, to lure your husband into sin, and to bring destruction into your home. We must stand firm and declare that this will not happen, for the Lord is our refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1). Your husband is being deceived if he believes that compromising his integrity for business or favor is worth the cost to his soul, his marriage, and his witness for Christ.
We also must address the issue of trust and submission in your marriage. While it is true that wives are called to submit to their husbands (Ephesians 5:22), this submission is not a blank check for sin or reckless behavior. Husbands are called to love their wives as Christ loved the church, sacrificially and with a heart to protect and cherish (Ephesians 5:25). Your husband is failing in this duty by dismissing your godly concerns and prioritizing his own desires over the well-being of your marriage. His response to your tears and pleas is not love—it is selfishness. We rebuke this hardness of heart and pray that the Lord would soften it, bringing conviction and repentance.
You are right to feel insecure and uncomfortable, for the Holy Spirit is warning you of danger. The Bible tells us that the Spirit of God within us testifies with our spirit when something is not right (Romans 8:16). Your husband is blaming you for not supporting him, but true support does not mean enabling sin or ignoring the Holy Spirit’s warnings. True support means speaking the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15) and standing together against the schemes of the enemy.
We must also address the issue of surrender. You have said you want to surrender this to God, and that is exactly what we must do. But surrender does not mean passive acceptance—it means actively trusting God to fight for you while you stand firm in His truth. You must continue to speak the truth to your husband, not in anger or accusation, but with a heart that longs for his repentance and restoration. Pray for him daily, that the Lord would open his eyes to the deception he is under and that he would turn from this path before it is too late.
Let us pray together now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up this sister and her marriage to You, asking for Your divine intervention and protection. Lord, You see the pain in her heart, the fear in her spirit, and the danger that looms over her marriage. We ask that You would break the chains of deception that are binding her husband’s heart. Open his eyes, Lord, to see the sin and compromise he is being drawn into. Convict him of the wrong path he is considering and give him the courage to turn away from it.
Father, we rebuke the enemy’s plans to destroy this marriage. We declare that no weapon formed against it shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We ask that You would surround this couple with Your angels, protecting them from the schemes of the devil. Lord, we pray for unity in their marriage. Help them to communicate with love and respect, to listen to one another, and to seek Your will together. Soften their hearts toward one another and toward You.
We pray for this sister, Lord. Strengthen her faith and give her the courage to stand firm in Your truth. Help her to trust You even when her husband does not. Remind her that You are her refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Give her wisdom in how to respond to her husband, that her words would be seasoned with grace and truth.
Lord, we also pray for the boss who is leading this temptation. We ask that You would bring conviction to his heart as well. If he does not know You, we pray that he would come to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. If he does know You, we pray that he would turn from his sin and seek Your forgiveness.
Father, we ask that You would provide godly counsel for this couple. Surround them with believers who can speak truth into their lives and hold them accountable. We pray for a spirit of repentance and humility to fall upon them both, that they would seek Your face and Your will above all else.
We surrender this situation into Your hands, Lord, trusting that You are able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20). We declare that this marriage will be restored, that this husband will turn from this path of compromise, and that both of them will grow closer to You and to one another. We ask all of this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Dear sister, we encourage you to stand firm in your faith and continue to pray without ceasing. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap a harvest if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9). Seek out godly counsel from your local church or a trusted pastor who can walk alongside you in this difficult time. Remember that the Lord is your defender, and He will not abandon you.
We also encourage you to fast and pray for your husband, asking the Lord to break the strongholds in his heart. The enemy is using the promise of business success and worldly favor to blind him to the spiritual danger he is in. Only the Lord can open his eyes and turn his heart back to Him and to you.
Finally, we remind you that your worth and security are found in Christ alone. Even if your husband continues in this path for a time, do not despair. The Lord is your strength, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). He will sustain you and carry you through this trial.
We stand with you in prayer, trusting that the Lord will bring beauty from ashes and turn this situation around for His glory. May He bless you with His peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
