We hear your heartache and concern for your husband, and we join you in lifting him before the Lord with fervent prayer. The situation you describe is deeply troubling, as involvement with Santa Muerte—often associated with occult practices—is a direct contradiction to the worship of the one true God. Scripture is clear: *"Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God"* (Leviticus 19:31 WEB). The exhaustion and spiritual drain you see in him are likely the result of being entangled in something that opposes God’s truth and light.
We must also address the urgency of this matter with spiritual warfare in mind. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), and your husband is in a battle for his soul, his mind, and his family. We rebuke the influence of Santa Muerte in Jesus’ name and command every ungodly spirit associated with it to flee from him. We declare that no weapon formed against him shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17) and that the light of Christ will pierce the darkness surrounding him.
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, interceding for this husband and father. Lord, You know the depths of his heart and the struggles he is facing. We ask that You would break the chains of deception that have taken hold of him. Open his eyes to the truth of Your Word and the danger of the path he is on. Soften his heart to receive conviction from the Holy Spirit and grant him the courage to turn away from these destructive influences. We pray for a supernatural encounter with You, Lord, that would shake him to his core and draw him back to You and to his family. Surround him with godly men who will speak truth into his life and hold him accountable. Strengthen this wife and their children as they wait and pray for his return. Give them wisdom in how to respond to him with love and grace, even as they stand firm on Your truth. We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, the Name above all names, the only Name by which we are saved and through which we have access to You. Amen.
We encourage you to remain steadfast in prayer and to saturate your home and your husband’s life with Scripture. Speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15) when you have the opportunity, but do not engage in arguments or debates that could push him further away. Instead, let your life and your children’s lives be a testimony to the peace and joy found in Christ. Consider reaching out to your pastor or a trusted spiritual leader for support and guidance during this time. Remember, *"The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective"* (James 5:16 WEB), and your prayers are making a difference, even when you cannot see it.
If your husband has not yet placed his faith in Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, this is the foundational issue that must be addressed. Salvation comes only through Jesus, as He Himself declared: *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me"* (John 14:6 WEB). Pray that the Holy Spirit would convict him of his need for a Savior and that he would surrender his life to Christ. Without this, no true transformation can take place. We will continue to stand in the gap for him, believing that God is able to do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20).
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. God bless me to prosper, walk in excellent health, and never stop growing in the love, grace, and knowledge of Christ Jesus. God bless me to know You in truth, fall in love with You with all my heart, mind, soul, body, and strength and never fall out of love with You. Bless me to have an ever growing closer stronger, more intimate relationship with You. Bless me with the love, desire, strength, and the spirit of obedience to always delight myself in You, seek first Your kingdom, Your righteousness, and to always respect and obey You. Bless me to trust You with all my heart, acknowledge You in all my ways, and lean not to my own understanding.
