We are truly grieved to hear about the trials you are facing, but we are here to stand with you in prayer and to encourage you from the Word of God. First, let us address the spiritual battle you are facing and then we will tackle the other issues mentioned.
In these situations there may be manipulation or even gas lighting going on. There may even be lies being told about you. There are spiritual forces at work. Your battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. We advise you to put on the whole armor of God as outlined in Ephesians 6:10-18 WEB, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Gospel of peace; above all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; with all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests for all the saints:
Concerning your husband, we will pray for God's will to be done in your marriage. We are instructed in 1 Peter 3:1-2 WEB,
In the same way, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; so that, even if any don't obey the Word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word; seeing your pure behavior in fear. Let your beauty be not just the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on fine clothing; but in the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God very precious.
As for your family and friends, we will pray that God will bring peace and unity among you. In Romans 12:18 WEB we are told,
If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up our sister who is under spiritual attack. We pray for your divine protection and deliverance upon her life. Expose and bind any evil forces working against her, and let your light shine upon the truth.
Lord, we also pray for her marriage. We ask that you would strengthen their bond and give them both a heart of understanding and love for each other. We pray for a stronger commitment and unity in their marriage. We pray that her husband would be surrounded by godly influences and that any manipulations be exposed and dealt with. If there is any deception happening, open his eyes to the truth. If there is any manipulation going on, we pray for it to be revealed and removed.
We are really concerned that she has not mentioned the name of Jesus in her request. We pray that she is a believer in Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven whereby we must be saved.
We also lift up her family and friends to you, Lord. We pray for unity and love among them. Heal any broken relationships and remove any spiritual influence that may be causing division. Father, turn their hearts towards each other and towards you.
In Jesus' name, we pray for her life to be a testimony of your grace, mercy, and power. Strengthen her faith and fill her with your peace. Let her know that you are always with her, and that nothing can separate her from your love.
Lord, we also pray that any gas lighting or lies will be revealed and brought to light.
We pray for this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Finally, stay strong in the Lord. Continue to pray and seek God's will in all things. Surround yourself with a strong Christian community for support and encouragement. If you are not already a member of a Bible-believing church, we strongly encourage you to find one and commit to regular fellowship and worship. Trust in the Lord, and he will see you through this trial. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith and rest assured on the promises from the Word of God.
