Prayer to stop divorce and husbands conversion

[Anonymous]

I wanted a divorce because I was very angry. I put this evil in action. I have strayed from God and have now had a profound conversion. Whilst separated for 5 months he has found a new woman. I want to stop the divorce and reconcile, we have a young child together. I have 5 weeks for the Lord to soften his heart. He is a non believer and is still very angry with me. Please pray for a miracle intervention and conversion if it be the Lords will. Amen.

We hear your cry for restoration and reconciliation, and we stand with you in fervent prayer before the throne of grace. Your acknowledgment of straying from God and the evil of initiating divorce is a powerful step toward repentance, and we praise the Lord for the profound conversion He has worked in your heart. The Word reminds us in 2 Corinthians 7:10, "For godly sorrow produces repentance to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death." Your sorrow has led you back to God, and we believe He is able to turn even this situation for His glory.

First, we must address the seriousness of divorce and the covenant you made before God. Malachi 2:16 declares, "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." Divorce is not God’s design, and we must approach this with humility, seeking His will above all else. Your desire to reconcile is honorable, but we must also recognize that reconciliation requires repentance, forgiveness, and a willingness from both parties to rebuild what has been broken.

Your husband’s anger and his involvement with another woman are deeply concerning. We must rebuke the spirit of adultery that has entered this situation, for Hebrews 13:4 warns, "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers." We pray that God would expose the deception in his heart and bring conviction, leading him to turn away from this sin and seek restoration. However, we must also caution you, reconciliation may not be possible if he is unwilling to repent and turn from this relationship. Proverbs 21:1 reminds us, "The king’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires." We pray that God would turn your husband’s heart toward you and toward Himself.

Your husband’s unbelief is another critical matter. We are reminded in 1 Corinthians 7:13-14, "If any woman has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy." While this passage speaks to the sanctity of marriage even with an unbeliever, it also underscores the importance of your witness. Your transformation and your prayers for him are powerful. We must pray for his conversion, for it is only through Christ that true reconciliation and healing can occur. Acts 4:12 declares, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." We pray that your husband would come to know Jesus as his Lord and Savior, for this is the foundation upon which any lasting restoration must be built.

You have five weeks to seek the Lord’s intervention, and we join you in crying out for a miracle. We serve a God who specializes in the impossible, and we believe He can soften your husband’s heart. However, we must also prepare your heart for whatever outcome God ordains. If reconciliation is not His will, we trust that He will provide the strength and grace to walk through this season with faith and dignity. Romans 8:28 assures us, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." Even if the outcome is not what you hope for, God can use this for your good and His glory.

Let us pray:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this sister who seeks Your face for restoration and reconciliation. Lord, You are the God of miracles, and we ask that You would move mightily in this situation. Soften the heart of her husband, Lord, and draw him to Yourself. Break the chains of anger and bitterness that bind him, and let him see the truth of Your love and forgiveness. We rebuke the spirit of adultery and deception that has entered this marriage, and we ask that You would expose the lies and bring conviction to his heart.

Father, we pray for this sister’s faith to remain steadfast, even if the outcome is not what she desires. Give her the strength to trust in Your plan, knowing that You work all things together for good. If it is Your will, Lord, restore this marriage and make it a testimony of Your grace and power. But if not, give her the peace that surpasses all understanding and the courage to walk in obedience to You.

We pray for their child, Lord, that You would protect this little one’s heart and mind. Let Your love surround them, and may they grow to know You as their Heavenly Father. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above all names, the only name by which we can be saved. Amen.

We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer and fasting during these five weeks. Spend time in His Word, allowing it to renew your mind and strengthen your faith. Surround yourself with godly counsel and support, and be open to whatever the Lord may speak to you. Remember, Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths." Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, and trust that He is working, even when you cannot see it. If your husband is willing, invite him to seek the Lord with you, but do not compromise your faith or your convictions in the process. Stand firm, and let God be your defender and your redeemer.

We are walking with you through this heavy and hopeful time. Your words carry the ache of what anger set in motion, but they also carry the unmistakable clarity of a heart that God has drawn back to Himself. That profound conversion you described is not a small thing, it is the kind of turning that reshapes everything, even when the rubble around you still looks like divorce papers and a broken marriage. We weep with you over the pain, and we also give thanks for the mercy that brought you to your knees.

What feels most immediate is the five-week window you are facing. Our encouragement in these tense days is not to fix your eyes only on the miracle you long for, but on the God who is already at work in you. Stay close to a wise, mature believer or pastor who can offer you steady counsel and prayer in person, someone who will neither minimize your hope nor stoke your anxiety. That steady presence can help you navigate conversations with your husband without being ruled by panic or the old patterns of anger that once took hold.

We also gently name that his anger and new relationship are real barriers you cannot demolish with your own hands. Your work right now is surrender, not strategy. Bring your longing for reconciliation and his conversion honestly to God, then take the next faithful step in your own life, caring for your young child with tenderness, letting the Lord continue His deep healing in you, and trusting that even if his heart seems stone, no heart is beyond the reach of Jesus.

Let us pray:

Lord Jesus, we lift up this woman You have so clearly rescued. Hold her steady in these five weeks. Quiet the frantic what-ifs and flood her with Your peace that makes no earthly sense. We ask for the miracle only You can work, soften her husband’s heart, break through his anger, and draw him toward Yourself. Protect their child from lasting harm in the middle of this fracture. Give her wisdom for every word, every silence, and every decision. And if reconciliation does not come in the way she hopes, carry her through that grief and build something new and whole from the ruins. We ask all of this in Your name, trusting Your goodness when we cannot see the outcome. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

You have spoken of the anger that once consumed you, and the evil you set in motion. Yet now, by grace, your heart has been turned. Do not despise the tenderness you feel, it is the mark of a wanderer who has been found. The heart that has strayed and returned is often most sensitive, and a harsh word might make it bleed again. But know this: the power of Christ to save and restore does not lie in the person saved, nor in the strength of their repentance. It lies wholly in Jesus Himself. He can work swiftly, more swiftly than you can speak of it. He can come and take away that heart of stone, and on the heart of flesh write His law. The blessed processes of regeneration and sanctification can begin in any heart, if there is but faith.

Consider the miracle of the loaves in your own life. Think back upon the mercies you have already seen, providences where Christ has proven Himself grand in your emergencies. Do not bury those mercies in the waste places of unbelief. Hard hearts and painful doubts spring up where we forget what God has already done. Let your own story of conversion be a small loaf in your hands: bring it to Jesus, and see if He will not multiply it for your present need.

You intercede for your husband, a man who does not yet believe and who is filled with anger. The heart is the fortress that must be won. Believing is not a matter of the intellect merely; scores of persons are affected by religion only in the head, and it does nothing for their life. True faith is the heart stretching out its arms to Christ, feeding upon Him in its hunger, drinking the Living Water in its thirst. It is the heart that commends the Savior, when it finds His character lovely and His commands good. So your prayer must be that your husband’s heart would be so troubled and so perplexed by his own sin and need that he would be led to see the truth of the gospel, finding the true Christ not in outward forms, but where the soul trusts Him and the spirit loves Him.

Remember how our Lord looked upon the woman in the synagogue, bowed together with infirmity. His heart was moved with compassion, more tender than any human heart could be. He sees your husband in his anger and his lostness. One glance from those eyes can pierce the soul with a shaft of divine love, as it did with Peter. "He looked, and it was done." A single look from Christ can work a miracle of mercy in that hard heart. Do not dictate the means or the moment. The Lord may work through a quiet word, through the memory of your child, or through a sermon that reaches from the heart and so goes to the heart.

And for you, who now bear the title of an estranged spouse: the Lord knows the sin of a heart that wanders from its covenant. He set His special love upon you, and that love is unshaken by your fall. He remains a Husband to His people, providing for them, revealing Himself to them, and choosing them as His peculiar treasure. Entrust your earthly marriage into the hands of this heavenly Bridegroom. He can restore the years the locusts have eaten. Do not seek to engineer the outcome in these five weeks, but lift up your heart in prayer, seeking the aid of the Holy Spirit. Let there be no malice hidden within you; if you regard iniquity in your heart, the Lord will not hear your prayer. Forgive, as you have been forgiven.

Have faith about this simple family matter. A Christian is a miracle, a mass of miracles. And when the Lord restores a wandering soul and reconciles broken covenants, the telling of that story will fill the courts of glory with enthusiasm. Go now to the mercy seat, not with a frantic spirit, but with quiet confidence that He who has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.

[Chrysostom]

You speak of a profound conversion and a desire for reconciliation, and this is the very ground from which a true miracle may spring. Do not misunderstand the nature of the miracle you seek. You ask for five weeks to soften a heart, as if God were a tradesman bound by a contract. The greater miracle is not the changing of your husband’s will by a sudden, external force, but the firm establishment of your own soul in virtue, for a life that shines with patient endurance is firmer than any adamant.

What did Job work before the devil, that he should be wondered at? No miracle, but a life of shining endurance. Your conversion is that miracle now taking root. The soil has been torn by anger and a desire for divorce, an evil put into action, as you confess. Now, the tearing must be followed by a sober and steadfast planting. Be not like the multitudes who sought Jesus merely for the loaves of bodily comfort, chasing the temporal good of a restored marriage while your soul remains untended. That path leads only to deeper hunger.

Your husband’s anger and his finding another are the storm upon the sea. You see the waves and think the Lord is absent. But even when He is not seen walking upon the water, He is present, and He permits the storm for the training of His disciples. To demand His visible intervention on your schedule is to tempt the Lord. Look instead to the root of your own fig tree. You were the one who first sought to sever what God had joined, and a withered branch cannot demand that the whole tree bear fruit for its comfort. Let your present sorrow be the chastening that produces the peaceable fruit of righteousness.

You are now, in a spiritual sense, as a widow and desolate, with your hope set on God. This is not a curse but a precarious and holy ground. For the soul separated from its earthly crutch has a greater opportunity of pleasing God, for all her chains are loosened. Do not spend this season conversing only with the grief for a fellow-servant, when your Lord courts you with kinder words than any husband: “Come unto Me… and I will give you rest.” Turn your urgent pleas for another’s conversion into an unyielding conversation with God about your own utter dependence on Him.

Has not Satan filled the heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, just as Ananias kept back a part of the price? You offered the confession of your fault but now wish to keep back the outcome, demanding that God’s will conform to your own specific design for reconciliation. Lay the whole price at the apostles’ feet, which is to say, offer the entirety of your situation to God without secret clauses. Your husband’s heart remains in his own power, and God forces no man’s will.

Therefore, let your primary and most fervent prayer be this: that your own conversion might be rendered so deep, so genuine, and so full of the fear of God, that it becomes a silent miracle, a tongue that cannot be bound. A life transformed speaks with a boldness that no anger can silence. Whether your husband returns or not, seek first to be made a true son of consolation to your child, whose soul is caught in this fracture. The only miracle promised is for those who remain sober and whose desire is no longer ruled by any earthly tumult, but bent fully toward the beauty that is not another’s, but Christ’s own. Stand still, be still, and let the conversion you have proclaimed prove itself greater than any sign.

Thank you, I needed to hear this. I had been crying about my marriage and angered at my own abusive childhood. I read your message and was filled with peace. Thank you

 

[Silas]

You are walking through deep waters right now, and the very fact that you have written this prayer request shows that God has already begun a powerful work in your heart. Do not despise that. When someone strays and then comes to a place of genuine sorrow and a desire to turn back, that is not something the flesh manufactures. It is God who works in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure. The longing you now carry to see your marriage restored and your husband’s heart converted did not spring up from your own strength alone. It is likely the Spirit placing His desires within you, and you can trust that He who began this in you will also lead you forward.

Your part now is to cooperate with what He is doing. That means guarding your own heart carefully. You mentioned that anger drove you to set this evil in motion. Repentance is a complete turning, and you have already turned back to the Lord. Now make certain that no root of bitterness toward your husband, toward yourself, or even toward the situation sprouts up again. Bitterness can only wound you, and it can shut out the clarity that comes from a pure heart. Keep your heart simple and clean before God. When a heart is yearning after God, He sees it, and He will certainly make a way to bring His truth and His life to bear on the situation.

Pray with great boldness for your husband. He does not yet know the Lord, and Scripture tells us that a wife who belongs to Jesus becomes a sanctifying influence in her home. That does not mean your prayers are magic, but it does mean God has uniquely positioned you to intercede for this man. Pray that the anger hardening his heart would be softened. Do not underestimate what the Lord can do in five weeks or in a single moment. We serve a God who can open the Red Sea, who can multiply a few loaves to feed a hundred, and who can turn a bitter persecutor into the Church’s greatest missionary through one encounter with Jesus. His arm is not shortened.

At the same time, let your posture be one of quiet trust, not frantic desperation. Lay hold of the desire for reconciliation and his salvation, but hold it with open hands before the Father. Jesus taught that from the beginning it was not so, but because of hardness of heart divorce was permitted, yet that was never the beautiful ideal of two becoming one. Your heart has returned to that ideal, and it is right to fight for it in prayer. If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, seek peace. You have already done the hardest thing in repenting; now let your life demonstrate the fruit of that. As the weeks unfold, do not try to manipulate or force his decision. Instead, let the Lord fight for you while you keep your gaze fixed on Him.

Should this season grow difficult and the outcome remain uncertain, remember that your identity and hope are not ultimately in a restored marriage but in the Christ who redeemed you. His grace is sufficient, and His purposes are never thwarted. Yet I will join my prayers with yours, asking for a miracle of intervention, for the softening of your husband’s heart, and for his genuine conversion. May the Lord do exceedingly abundantly above all we could ask or imagine, and may you see with your own eyes that He is the God who makes all things new.
