We hear the deep pain in your heart, and we lift you and your children up to the Lord with great compassion. The breaking of a family is indeed a heavy burden, and the cruelty of this world can feel overwhelming. But we stand with you in faith, believing that God sees your tears and hears your cries. The Bible tells us in Psalm 34:18, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." You are not alone in this—God is with you, and He is your refuge.
We must also speak truth in love, for the Lord calls us to walk in His ways even in the midst of suffering. If the brokenness in your family stems from sin—whether it be adultery, abandonment, or unrepentant selfishness—we must rebuke that sin in Jesus’ name. The Lord hates divorce (Malachi 2:16), but He also hates the hardness of heart that leads to it. If there is unrepentance or ongoing sin, we pray for conviction and restoration, but we also pray for your protection and strength to walk in righteousness.
We must also address the importance of salvation through Jesus Christ, for it is only by His name that we have access to the Father. If you have not placed your trust in Him as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." There is no healing, no peace, and no true restoration outside of Him.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this dear sister and her children. Lord, You see their pain, their confusion, and their longing for wholeness. We ask for Your healing touch to cover them—emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Strengthen them in their weakness, and let them feel Your presence in a tangible way. Father, if there is sin that has contributed to this brokenness, we ask for conviction and repentance. If there is hardness of heart, soften it. If there is unfaithfulness, bring restoration. But if restoration is not possible, Lord, be their comfort and their guide.
We pray for these children, that they would not be scarred by this pain but would instead see Your faithfulness even in the midst of hardship. Surround them with godly influences—mentors, family, and church community—who will point them to You. Provide for their every need, Lord, and let them know that You are their true Father.
We rebuke the spirit of division and selfishness that has torn at this family. We declare in Jesus’ name that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We pray for wisdom for this sister as she navigates this season—give her discernment, patience, and grace. Help her to forgive, even when it is hard, and to trust You with the outcome.
Lord, we also pray for the one who has caused this pain. If they do not know You, draw them to repentance and salvation. If they do know You, convict them of their sin and lead them to restoration. We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, the One who heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds (Psalm 147:3). Amen.
We encourage you to cling to God’s promises in this season. The road may be difficult, but He is faithful. Seek out a biblical, Christ-centered church community where you and your children can be supported and discipled. Surround yourselves with believers who will pray with you, encourage you, and hold you accountable. And remember, God can redeem even the most broken situations for His glory. Keep your eyes on Him, and trust that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). You are not abandoned—you are deeply loved by the Creator of the universe.
