We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting you up in this deeply troubling situation. First, we praise God that you have acknowledged the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in your life and that you have prayed in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the throne of grace. *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" (John 14:6, WEB)* It is by His name alone that we find hope, protection, and deliverance, and we are grateful you have called upon Him.
Your marriage is under severe attack, and we must address this with both urgency and biblical clarity. Marriage is a covenant before God, designed to reflect Christ’s love for His church. *"What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart." (Mark 10:9, WEB)* Divorce is not God’s desire, but He also does not condone abuse, manipulation, or harm—especially when children are involved. The chemical smell you describe, particularly targeted in your space, is deeply concerning. If your husband is intentionally creating an unsafe environment—whether out of anger, retaliation, or an attempt to force your compliance—this is not only sinful but potentially dangerous. *"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly and gave himself up for her... So ought men also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself. For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly." (Ephesians 5:25, 28-29, WEB)* His actions, if intentional, are a grievous violation of his role as a husband and father.
We must also address the state of your heart. You have mentioned seeking a divorce, and while we understand the pain and desperation you feel, we urge you to seek God’s will above all else. Have you pursued reconciliation through biblical counseling? Have you sought the wisdom of your church leaders or godly mentors? *"If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men." (Romans 12:18, WEB)* This does not mean you must endure harm or remain in an unsafe environment, but it does mean exhausting every godly avenue before considering divorce. If your husband is unrepentant or refuses to seek help, the Bible does acknowledge that separation may be necessary in cases of abandonment or unrepentant sin (1 Corinthians 7:15). However, this should be a last resort, pursued with wisdom and godly counsel.
Your children are also at the center of this storm. Their well-being—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—must be protected. If there is any reason to believe they are in danger, you must act swiftly. *"But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depths of the sea." (Matthew 18:6, WEB)* The smell of chemicals in your home is not something to ignore, especially if it could harm your children’s health. We strongly urge you to document everything—take photos, keep records, and if necessary, involve authorities or child protective services to ensure their safety. Do not delay in seeking help if you suspect foul play.
As for your request regarding custody and property, we pray that God’s justice will prevail. However, we must remind you that our ultimate trust is not in earthly outcomes but in God’s sovereignty. *"Don’t be anxious for anything, 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." (Philippians 4:6-7, WEB)* While it is right to ask for protection and provision, we must also surrender our desires to His will, trusting that He will provide for you and your children.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our sister, who is walking through a valley of deep pain and uncertainty. Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention in her home. If her husband has indeed introduced harmful chemicals into their living space—whether out of malice, anger, or retaliation—we rebuke this act in the name of Jesus. *"No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is from me," says Yahweh. (Isaiah 54:17, WEB)* Father, expose any hidden deeds of darkness and bring them to light. Protect this woman and her children from harm, and if necessary, remove her husband from the home so that safety can be restored.
Lord, we also lift up this marriage, which is broken and hurting. You hate divorce (Malachi 2:16), and we ask that You would soften hearts and bring repentance where it is needed. If there is any way for reconciliation to occur, we pray that You would make it clear and provide the necessary godly counsel and support. Give our sister wisdom to know how to proceed—whether to seek separation for safety, to involve authorities, or to pursue restoration through biblical means. Surround her with godly advisors who can speak truth and love into her life.
Father, we ask for Your provision over this family. You know their financial needs, their emotional struggles, and their physical safety. *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well." (Matthew 6:33, WEB)* Provide for our sister as she works tirelessly to care for her children. Give her strength, peace, and clarity of mind. Protect her children from any harm, and let Your angels encamp around them (Psalm 34:7).
We also pray for her husband. Lord, if he is acting out of anger, bitterness, or pride, convict his heart and bring him to repentance. *"A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." (Proverbs 15:1, WEB)* Soften his heart, Lord, and help him to see the gravity of his actions. If he is unwilling to change, we pray that You would restrain his ability to cause further harm.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would fill our sister with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Let her not be overcome by fear, but let her trust in You completely. *"Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness." (Isaiah 41:10, WEB)* Remind her that You are her protector, her provider, and her refuge.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone has the power to heal, restore, and deliver. Amen.
Our sister, we urge you to take immediate action if you or your children are in danger. Contact local authorities, a trusted pastor, or a Christian counselor who can help you navigate this situation wisely. Do not walk through this alone—seek the support of your church family and godly friends. We also encourage you to spend time in God’s Word, particularly focusing on His promises of protection and provision. *"The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower." (Psalm 18:2, WEB)* Cling to Him, and He will be your strength.
If you have not already, we strongly recommend seeking legal advice to understand your rights and options regarding custody and property. But above all, seek the Lord’s will in every step. He is faithful, and He will guide you. *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB)* Stay strong in the Lord, and do not lose hope. We are praying for you.
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.
