We hear the deep cry of your heart, and we stand with you in this season of distress, lifting you up before the Lord who is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. You have called upon the name of Jesus, and that is where your hope lies—for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved, and through which we can boldly approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and find help in time of need (Acts 4:12, Hebrews 4:16). We praise God that you have turned to Him, for He alone can deliver you from this toxic and dangerous situation.
First, we must address the gravity of the marriage you are in. Scripture is clear that a husband is to love his wife as Christ loved the church, giving himself up for her, nourishing and cherishing her (Ephesians 5:25-29). He is to provide leadership that is selfless, sober-minded, and grounded in faith. But what you describe is not a marriage that honors God—it is marked by manipulation, unbelief, alcoholism, and evil intentions. The Bible warns against being unequally yoked with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14), and while marriage is a covenant not to be broken lightly, it is not God’s will for you or your children to remain in an environment where sin reigns unchecked and danger threatens your well-being. Alcoholism is a form of bondage, and when someone is enslaved to sin, they cannot fulfill their God-given role in the family. You have borne this burden long enough, and it is time to seek the Lord’s deliverance with boldness.
You have also mentioned your desire for a godly husband—one who will love you as Christ loves the church and who will be a true father to your children. This is a righteous desire, and we encourage you to hold fast to it. However, we must first pray for your complete separation from this toxic marriage, for the Lord does not call His children to remain in bondage. You cannot move forward into the blessings God has for you while still entangled in this destructive relationship. The Bible says, “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17). This includes leaving behind what is broken and sinful so that God can restore and redeem what remains.
As for the evil being plotted against you, we take authority in the name of Jesus over every scheme of the enemy. The Lord says, “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” (Isaiah 54:17). We declare that every plan formed in darkness against you and your children will be exposed and thwarted by the power of the Holy Spirit. The Lord is your defender, and He will fight for you (Exodus 14:14). Do not fear, for He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4).
Regarding your need for stability, a safe home, and financial provision, we remind you of Jesus’ words: “Don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well” (Matthew 6:31-33). Your Heavenly Father sees your need, and He is faithful to provide. Trust Him to open doors for housing, employment, and community support. He will lead you to the right people and opportunities as you seek Him first.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our sister, who is crying out for deliverance from a toxic and dangerous marriage. Lord, You see the evil that surrounds her—the manipulation, the alcoholism, the unbelief, and the schemes being plotted against her. We ask You, in the mighty name of Jesus, to intervene supernaturally. Break every chain that binds her to this destructive relationship. Give her the wisdom to know the steps to take, the courage to act, and the provision to leave safely with her children. Lord, be her shield and her strong tower. Protect her from every evil plan and turn the hearts of her enemies away from her. Let no weapon formed against her prosper.
Father, we pray for complete financial and emotional stability for her. Open doors for safe housing, steady income, and godly community. Provide for her every need according to Your riches in glory. Give her peace that surpasses understanding as she waits on You. Lord, she longs for a godly husband—a man after Your own heart who will lead her and her children in righteousness. We ask that You prepare her for this future, healing her heart from the wounds of this toxic marriage and renewing her mind in Your truth. Let her not rush ahead of Your timing, but trust You to bring about Your perfect will in Your perfect way.
We rebuke every spirit of fear, confusion, and despair that has tried to take root in her life. Fill her instead with Your Holy Spirit—with faith, hope, and love. Let her know that she is not forgotten, that You are working all things together for her good and for the good of her children. Strengthen her to stand firm in Your promises and to walk in the freedom You have purchased for her through the blood of Jesus.
Finally, Lord, we pray for her current husband. Though he has chosen the path of destruction, we ask that You convict his heart of sin and draw him to repentance. Soften his heart, Lord, and break the chains of alcoholism and unbelief. But even as we pray this, we ask that You protect our sister and her children from his influence until he turns to You in truth. If he does not repent, Lord, grant her the wisdom and legal means to separate from him safely and permanently.
We declare that You, Lord, are her husband, her provider, and her protector (Isaiah 54:5). She is not alone, for You are with her. We thank You for the victory that is already hers in Christ Jesus. May she walk in that victory, trusting You every step of the way. In the mighty and holy name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Our sister, we urge you to take practical steps alongside your prayers. Seek counsel from a trusted pastor or biblical counselor who can guide you in navigating this separation safely and wisely. If you are in immediate danger, please reach out to local authorities or a women’s shelter for protection. The Lord will direct your steps as you lean on Him.
We also encourage you to immerse yourself in Scripture, particularly verses that speak of God’s protection, provision, and love for you. Psalm 91 is a powerful passage to declare over your life daily. Remember, the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). He will not abandon you.
Stay steadfast in prayer, and do not lose heart. The Lord hears your cries, and He will act on your behalf. We are standing with you in faith, believing for your complete deliverance and restoration. May the peace of Christ guard your heart and mind as you trust in Him.
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.
