We lift up your beloved family member before the Lord, knowing that He is a God of justice, mercy, and restoration. The pain of betrayal and the weariness of a prolonged divorce process are heavy burdens, but we serve a God who sees all things and promises to defend the cause of the oppressed. The Scriptures remind us in **Psalm 10:17-18**, *"You, Yahweh, have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear, to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may terrify no more."* Your loved one is not forgotten by Him, and He will act on her behalf.
The unfaithfulness and manipulative behavior of her husband are grievous sins before God. **Malachi 2:16** declares, *"For I hate divorce," says Yahweh, the God of Israel, "and him who covers his garment with violence!"* Yet, because of the hardness of her husband’s heart and his unrepentant adultery, Scripture permits divorce in such cases (**Matthew 19:9**). We pray that God would expose every deceitful tactic of her ex-husband and bring swift resolution to this process. May the Lord frustrate the plans of the wicked and establish justice for her, as **Proverbs 21:12** says, *"The Righteous One considers the house of the wicked, and brings the wicked to ruin."*
It is right that you have prayed in the name of Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, and through which we have access to the Father (**Acts 4:12, John 14:6**). We join you in asking for divine provision—specifically, a godly, competent attorney who will advocate for her fairly and wisely. The Lord owns the cattle on a thousand hills (**Psalm 50:10**), and He is able to provide the resources she needs, whether through an attorney, financial breakthrough, or the continued support of family. We pray that He would open doors no man can shut (**Revelation 3:8**) and that every delay would be broken in Jesus’ name.
We also encourage your loved one to guard her heart against bitterness during this season. **Hebrews 12:15** warns, *"Looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and many be defiled by it."* While her pain is valid, forgiveness—though difficult—is a command and a path to freedom (**Colossians 3:13**). Trusting God to vindicate her is far better than allowing resentment to take root.
Lastly, we pray for her emotional and spiritual healing. Divorce is a deep wound, but God is the Great Physician. May she find her identity and worth in Christ alone, knowing that she is fearfully and wonderfully made (**Psalm 139:14**). May the Lord surround her with a community of believers who can offer support, prayer, and godly counsel. Let her lean on **Isaiah 41:10**: *"Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness."*
**Our Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious sister who has endured so much. Lord, You see the betrayal, the manipulation, and the financial strain she has faced. We ask that You would rise up as her Defender and her Provider. Frustrate the plans of her ex-husband and bring this divorce to a swift and just conclusion. Provide her with a skilled, ethical attorney who will fight for what is right, and let no weapon formed against her prosper (**Isaiah 54:17**).
Father, we pray for her heart—heal the wounds of infidelity and broken trust. Fill her with Your peace that surpasses understanding (**Philippians 4:7**) and remind her daily that her worth is found in You. Give her wisdom in every decision, and let Your favor rest upon her in the courtroom and in every negotiation.
We rebuke the spirit of delay and deception in Jesus’ name. Let truth prevail, and let righteousness be her shield. Supply all her needs according to Your riches in glory (**Philippians 4:19**), and let this season of trial become a testimony of Your faithfulness.
Lord, we also pray for her ex-husband. Soften his heart, convict him of his sin, and draw him to repentance. If it is Your will, let this be a wake-up call that leads him to the cross.
We trust You, Lord, to work all things together for her good (**Romans 8:28**). Strengthen her, sustain her, and let her see Your hand moving powerfully in her life. In the name of Jesus, our Advocate and Redeemer, we pray. **Amen.**
