Lord help me with my situation at work I’m about to face the capability meeting in September. Please quash this as I present the evidence where I was being bullied by my superiors. Please God give me peace at work. In Jesus name. Amen
We hear your heartfelt cry for your husband’s mental and spiritual well-being, and we join you in bringing this burden before the Lord. The weight of seeing a loved one struggle with self-sabotage and spiritual oppression is heavy, but we know that our God is greater than any darkness that seeks to take hold. The Bible assures us in 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, "For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ."
First, we must rebuke the spirit of self-sabotage and any other lying spirits that may be at work in your husband’s mind. These spirits seek to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but Jesus came so that he might have life and have it abundantly. We command every spirit of fear, doubt, despair, and destruction to flee in the mighty name of Jesus Christ! The enemy has no authority over a child of God, and we declare that your husband is covered by the blood of Jesus, which breaks every chain.
We also lift up your husband’s mind before the Lord, praying for clarity, peace, and renewal. Philippians 4:6-7 reminds us, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." Lord, we ask that You guard his mind with Your peace, replacing every lie with Your truth. Let him take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, as Scripture commands.
Father, we also pray for wisdom and discernment for you, as his wife, to know how to support and encourage him in a way that honors You. Proverbs 31:10-12 speaks of the value of a godly wife: "Who can find a worthy woman? For her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband trusts in her. He shall have no lack of gain. She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life." May your husband see Christ’s love reflected in you, and may your marriage be a testimony of Your grace and faithfulness.
We encourage you both to draw near to God through prayer, Scripture, and fellowship with other believers. James 4:7-8 says, "Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you." The enemy flees when we stand firm in our faith and submit ourselves to God. Surround yourselves with a community of believers who can pray with you, speak life into your marriage, and hold you accountable to God’s Word.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of faith, knowing that You are the God who heals, restores, and delivers. We lift up ’s husband to You, asking that You would break every chain of self-sabotage and oppression in his life. Lord, we rebuke every lying spirit that seeks to distort his thoughts and steal his peace. We declare that he is a new creation in Christ, and the old things have passed away, behold, all things have become new (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Father, we ask that You fill him with Your Holy Spirit, guiding his thoughts and actions according to Your will. Give him the strength to resist the enemy’s schemes and the wisdom to recognize Your voice above all others. Surround him with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and let him experience the abundant life that Jesus promised.
We also pray for , that You would give her patience, wisdom, and grace as she supports her husband. Help her to be a source of encouragement and strength, reflecting Your love in all she does. Strengthen their marriage, Lord, and let it be a light to others of Your faithfulness and power.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers and for Your promise to never leave us nor forsake us. We trust in Your goodness and Your perfect timing. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

We hear the heavy concern in your words for your husband’s mental wellbeing, and we’re standing with you in prayer. Watching someone you love struggle with self-sabotaging patterns is deeply draining, and your desire for him to be free is a reflection of real love.
In our experience, self-sabotage often has more than one layer. Sometimes it’s a spiritual battle, patterns of thinking or acting that the enemy exploits to keep a person stuck. Other times it’s the outward sign of something like depression, untreated anxiety, or old wounds that have never fully healed. The good news is that both the spiritual and the emotional parts of a person are open to God’s healing. We don’t have to choose between praying against spiritual attack and seeking practical help; we can do both.
One grounded step might be to gently encourage your husband to talk with a pastor or a Christian counselor, not with heavy pressure, but as an expression of your care. If he’s reluctant, you might start with a simple, calm conversation about what you’ve noticed, framed by your love and your wish for him to feel whole again. Your steady presence can be a lifeline.
We’re praying now:
Lord Jesus, we lift this husband to You. You see the self-sabotage and whatever is driving it, whether spiritual heaviness, emotional pain, or a tired mind. Bring Your peace that surpasses understanding. Guard his thoughts, and give him the courage to reach out for help where needed. Give his wife wisdom and gentle words, and sustain her hope. We ask for real breakthrough and healing in Your name. Amen.

It is a bitter trial to see one so near to you entangled in a spirit of self-sabotaging. But remember, the Lord Himself is a Husband unto His people: He sets His special love upon them, and He will be faithful. When your heart cries out for your husband’s mental wellbeing, know that the covenant-keeping God hears. The enemy shoots arrows of despair, whispering that ear is shut and help will not come, but is Jesus not your brother, your head, your all? What! He forget? He forsake? Down with that blaspheming thought! Even as Jacob feared Esau and yet found his neck kissed in mercy, so the Lord can bring a meeting of peace where you dread ruin.
Perhaps this very trouble is sent that pride may be hidden from man. Unbroken prosperity might be a sign of being given over, for life and health often come to saints through briny tears and the bruising of the spirit. The Lord chastens that He may deliver. And what a deliverance! He has found a ransom, not by our own righteousness, lest any should boast, but by Free Grace alone. Bid your husband look away from self-reliance; let him examine his own vineyard, for the most watchful believer is conscious of the danger of self-neglect. Cry to God, "Search me, and know my heart;" true humility will spring from that, not from mock self-abasement.
For yourself, take heart. Prayer is not in vain. When deliverance comes, and it shall when the Lamb’s own hour strikes, there will be such health and strength of soul that not one feeble person is found among the tribes. The believer after trouble declares, "I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord." So look for the day when you both shall rise together, even from this pit, to speak His praise where the people are gathered. Rest your soul upon Him; God will yet come to your deliverance.
