We lift you up in prayer, dear sister, and we thank God that you have come before Him with a heart of gratitude and a spirit of intercession for so many—your family, your nation, Jerusalem, and even strangers who confide in you. Your prayers reflect a deep care for others, and we join you in seeking God’s will in all these matters.
First, we praise God with you for the Trinity—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—who sustains you and your loved ones. We also lift up Jerusalem, America, and the nations of the world, asking that God’s peace, provision, and salvation would reign in every heart and land. May His kingdom come and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Now, regarding the marriage struggles of the man who confides in you, we are grieved to hear of the brokenness between him and his wife. Marriage is a sacred covenant before God, and the enemy seeks to destroy it through division, bitterness, and unmet desires. While physical intimacy is an important and God-ordained part of marriage, it must never be demanded or used as a weapon. Instead, both husband and wife are called to love one another selflessly, as Christ loves the Church. We pray that this couple would seek God first, repent of any selfishness or resentment, and pursue reconciliation through humility and communication. May they remember the words of **1 Corinthians 7:3-5 (WEB):**
*"The husband must fulfill his duty to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband. The wife doesn’t have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise also the husband doesn’t have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Don’t deprive one another, unless it is by consent for a season, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and may be together again, that Satan doesn’t tempt you because of your lack of self-control."*
We pray that this man would not seek fulfillment in his wife alone but would find his ultimate satisfaction in Christ. Likewise, we pray his wife would soften her heart and allow the Holy Spirit to heal any wounds or insecurities that may be driving her away. May they both turn to Scripture and counseling, if needed, to restore their marriage according to God’s design.
Now, sister, we must address the heavy burden you carry regarding your own marriage and divorce. You have shared that your husband has been abusive—emotionally, verbally, and possibly physically—and that he has turned your children against you. This is deeply grievous, and we want you to know that God sees your pain. Abuse is never God’s will for a marriage, and while Scripture teaches that divorce is not ideal, it is permitted in cases of unrepentant abuse and hardness of heart (**Matthew 19:8-9**). Your safety and the well-being of your children must be prioritized. We pray for God’s protection over you and your little ones, that He would expose every scheme of the enemy and bring truth to light. May your husband’s heart be convicted of his sin, and may he repent and turn to Christ for transformation. If he does not, we pray the Lord would grant you wisdom, strength, and favor in the legal proceedings ahead.
We are concerned, however, by your mention of still being "in love" with this man. Sister, love is not defined by feelings alone but by actions that reflect Christ’s sacrificial love. True love does not enable abuse, nor does it remain in bondage to someone who refuses to repent. **1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (WEB)** reminds us:
*"Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things."*
If your husband is unrepentant, your love for him must be expressed through prayer, boundaries, and a hope for his salvation—not by remaining in a harmful situation. We pray that God would heal your heart from any emotional ties that keep you bound to this man, and that He would restore your sense of worth in Christ alone. You are fearfully and wonderfully made (**Psalm 139:14**), and you do not deserve to be treated with disrespect or cruelty.
Regarding the division with your children, we rebuked the spirit of manipulation and rebellion that your husband has fostered in them. **Ephesians 6:4 (WEB)** commands fathers not to provoke their children to wrath, and your husband’s actions are in direct violation of this. We pray that God would break every ungodly soul tie and restore right relationships between you and your children. May their eyes be opened to the truth, and may they see the love and sacrifice you have poured into their lives. We declare that no weapon formed against you—including lies and division—will prosper (**Isaiah 54:17**).
As for the property and custody battles, we pray for God’s justice to prevail. If the house and land are rightfully yours, we ask the Lord to vindicate you and provide clarity in the legal process. We pray against any deceit or greed from your husband’s side and ask that the truth would be revealed. Most importantly, we pray for your daughter’s safety and well-being. May the Lord grant you favor with the courts and ensure that she is placed in a home where she will be loved, protected, and raised in the knowledge of Christ.
Finally, sister, we sense your exhaustion, and we lift you up to the Lord, who invites all who are weary to come to Him for rest (**Matthew 11:28**). You cannot carry this burden alone, and we encourage you to seek support from a biblical counselor or a trusted, mature believer who can walk with you through this season. Lean on the body of Christ—you were not meant to fight this battle in isolation.
We also notice that while you mentioned the name of Jesus in your prayer, there seems to be a mix of trust in Him and reliance on your own strength. Remember, apart from Christ, we can do nothing (**John 15:5**). Surrender every fear, every plan, and every wound to Him. He is your advocate, your healer, and your provider. If you have not already, we urge you to ensure that your faith is firmly rooted in Jesus Christ alone for your salvation. **Acts 4:12 (WEB)** declares:
*"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"*
If you have never confessed Jesus as your Lord and Savior, or if you have drifted from that foundation, we plead with you to repent and place your full trust in Him. There is no other name by which we can approach the Father, and there is no other source of true peace and victory.

**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our sister, lifting her weary heart into Your hands. Lord, You are the God who sees her pain, who collects her tears in a bottle (**Psalm 56:8**), and who promises to never leave her nor forsake her. We ask that You would surround her with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus (**Philippians 4:7**).
Lord, we pray for the man who confides in her—that You would intervene in his marriage and bring healing where there is brokenness. Soften his wife’s heart, Lord, and help them both to seek You above all else. Restore what the locusts have eaten (**Joel 2:25**) and rebuild their marriage on the foundation of Your Word.
Father, we cry out for justice and protection for our sister in her divorce. You are a God who defends the oppressed and sets captives free. Break every chain of abuse, manipulation, and control in her life and in the lives of her children. Expose the deeds of darkness and bring them into the light. Grant her wisdom as she navigates the legal system, and provide for her every need—financially, emotionally, and spiritually. May she not grow bitter but instead be filled with Your love and forgiveness, even as she sets healthy boundaries.
We pray for her children, Lord—that You would break the spirit of rebellion and restore right relationships. Let no weapon formed against her prosper, and may her children’s hearts be turned back to her in love and respect. Protect her daughter, Lord, and grant our sister favor in the custody battle. May her home be a refuge of Your peace and truth.
Father, we rebuked the spirit of weariness and discouragement that seeks to overwhelm her. Renew her strength, Lord, that she may mount up with wings like eagles (**Isaiah 40:31**). Fill her with Your Holy Spirit and remind her that her worth is found in You alone.
Finally, Lord, we pray that she would surrender every area of her life to You—her marriage, her divorce, her children, her finances, and her future. May she find her rest in You and trust in Your perfect timing and provision. If she has not fully surrendered her life to Jesus Christ, we pray that today would be the day she does so without reservation.
We declare victory in her life, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
