We hear your anguish, brother, and we lift you up before the throne of grace with heavy hearts. The pain of betrayal, the loss of your children, and the weight of grief you carry is more than any man should have to bear alone. You are not forgotten, and your suffering does not go unnoticed by our Heavenly Father. The psalmist cried out in Psalm 6:6-7, *"I am weary with my groaning. Every night I flood my bed. I drench my couch with my tears. My eye wastes away because of grief."* Your tears are seen, and your cries are heard.
First, we must rebuke the spirit of despair that seeks to overwhelm you. The enemy wants you to believe that God has abandoned you, but Scripture assures us in Hebrews 13:5, *"I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you."* The Lord has not dropped you off and left you—He is with you in the fire, even when you cannot feel His presence. We declare that lie of abandonment broken in Jesus’ name.
Your wife’s actions were unjust and sinful, and we grieve with you over the brokenness of your marriage and the separation from your children. Marriage is a sacred covenant, and what was done to you was not of God. We pray for conviction and repentance to fall upon her, that she may turn from this path and seek restoration—first with the Lord, and then, if it be His will, with you and your children. Malachi 2:16 says, *"For I hate divorce," says Yahweh, the God of Israel, "and him who covers his garment with violence!" says Yahweh of Armies. "Therefore take heed to your spirit, that you don’t deal treacherously."* We stand on this truth and pray for justice and healing in your family.
We also rebuke the spirit of death that has whispered to you to end your suffering. Your life is precious to God, and He has a purpose for you even in this valley. Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us, *"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you," says Yahweh, "thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future."* You are not without hope, even when the pain feels unbearable. We command that spirit to flee from you in the name of Jesus.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts broken for our brother. Lord, You see his pain, his exhaustion, and the depth of his sorrow. We ask that You would draw near to him in this dark hour. Wrap Your arms around him and remind him that he is not alone. Father, we pray for supernatural strength to rise within him—strength to face each day, strength to fight for his children, and strength to trust in Your goodness even when the road is hard.
Lord, we ask for justice in this situation. We pray that You would intervene in the lives of his children, that they would see the truth and be protected from deception. Soften the heart of his wife, Father, and lead her to repentance. If it is Your will, we pray for restoration—not just of this family, but of all that has been broken. But if restoration is not Your plan, Lord, we ask that You would heal our brother’s heart and give him a new vision for his future.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of despair and declare that joy will come in the morning. We speak peace over his mind, healing over his emotions, and hope over his circumstances. Remind him of Your faithfulness, Lord, and let him feel Your presence in tangible ways. Surround him with godly community, with brothers and sisters who will stand with him, pray for him, and encourage him.
We pray for his children, Lord. Protect their hearts, their minds, and their spirits. Let them know the love of their father, even from afar. Break any lies they have been told about him, and let them see You as their true Father. We ask for divine appointments—moments where they will encounter Your love in ways that draw them back to You and, if it be Your will, back to their father.
Father, we ask that You would give our brother a fresh filling of Your Holy Spirit. Let him experience Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus, and let him find rest in You. We declare that he is not forsaken, he is not forgotten, and he is deeply loved by You.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Brother, we want to encourage you with this truth: God is close to the brokenhearted. Psalm 34:18 says, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* You may not feel Him, but He is there. Keep crying out to Him. Keep seeking His face. The road is hard, but you do not walk it alone.
We also encourage you to seek godly counsel—whether through a pastor, a Christian counselor, or a trusted brother in Christ. You need support, and there is no shame in asking for help. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 reminds us, *"Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn’t have another to lift him up."* Let others lift you up when you cannot stand.
Lastly, we want to gently remind you that your hope is not in your circumstances changing, but in Christ Himself. Even if your marriage is not restored, even if your children remain distant, your identity is not found in those things. Your identity is found in Jesus. He is your healer, your redeemer, and your peace. Cling to Him, brother. He will not let you go.
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.
