Reconciliation love protection

[Anonymous]

Please pray for my husband ### who is struggling with the demon of addiction called alcoholism. He is making all wrong choices that are affecting me and my family, especially me. I have a 5-year-old toddler who I have to take care of, and I am 5 months pregnant, which he completely forgets. I can't sleep through the night, waking up checking on him. He has lost his job, and he is making all wrong choices through this situation. It's putting a strain on me and my marriage. I don't even know how my 5-year-old daughter feels seeing this. I am trying to be the best wife I can be for my daughter and unborn child, also trying to support him throughout. I need him in his right mindset as I am going through my own struggles with my pregnancy. I cry in the room with the door closed, praying, crying out to God. He keeps saying he feels lonely; he says wrongful things; he is drinking that hurts me deeply. I love him a lot. We have been through a lot with his mother and sister-in-law giving me the worst time. I suffered, crying without saying a word to him, being in a different country with him and in-laws, but God opened his eyes to see the wrongful things to me, and God saved my marriage. My husband started to stand by me and my daughter, and we came back to the USA. Looking at his good job has a big toll on him; he is mentally feeling sick.

Some days I don't even think he remembers I am pregnant. What emotions and tolls it is taking inside of me, how much I love and need him, and how I am hurting seeing him go through this. He gets angry when he drinks and calls me and my parents names and hurtful things, but I forgive even through hurt, knowing it's alcohol spirits. Please pray against spiritual warfare. God to make things smooth for me in this journey. Please pray God to remove everything influencing his life, friendships that are not making him a better person through this. He starts trading and taking bigger risks while drinking, which is blowing up our savings and finances. Please pray hedge protection over our finances, and he drinks more thinking it will help him sleep and numb the pain for his loss. I love him a lot; these burdens are too heavy in my heart. I don't want to raise my blood pressure because I have to take care of the baby in my womb.

Pray to soften my heart and see how I am feeling and how much I love him. Pray for ### to start making wise choices for the family. When he is drinking, when he feels lonely, and I try to hug him, talk to him, see if he needs anything, and tell him I am always there with him, he tells me not to touch him. It's so hard for me to go through this. I cook clean for him, do all the house chores, take care of my daughter, get up early, and do everything I do without saying a word out of my mouth to not put a burden on him. I have a high-risk pregnancy, and I have to go to extra doctor appointments to him to take me. He has never been to a single prenatal visit with me.

Please intercede in every area of my life: marriage, home, happiness, joy, and our family to be in unity. Love my husband to start communicating with me in love, respect, and care. Free from generational curse, God to break all the money and wealth pride he had from his father and mother and mother and how they hurt him by putting him down all the time, eating to control him with their money. In less, think they are powerful because they are rich and they hold much pride. Please pray hedge a firewall of protection over my family, our lives, and especially my husband.

Please pray for ### as I seek God's kingdom, His will, and God will provide abundance, life, and provide for all of my needs, and as I walk closer to God, I need you, God. Godly friendship and influence. Protection over my family and marriage and finances from the evil eye and evil intention from envious people. Husband to be healed and set free from alcoholism, tobacco, vaping, and all unholy things, gambling, chasing wrong things, and start making wise choices. Blessings over and finances, especially our marriage. My husband to remember his responsibilities as a husband and father, and God to prepare us for a second child to come forth. God to perfect everything concerning me and my family and loved ones. Health and strength for the family. Reconciliation and love that can be broken and making our marital bed holy and pleading to God. God to remove every ungodly influence, friendship, and relationship that is not pleasing to God. Me to have favor in my husband's eyes. Husband to have a rightful mindset to lead his family and love his wife and daughter, be supportive in every way. Me and my husband to have our own home according to God's will and time. Prayer for wisdoms to navigate challenges with love and grace. Prayer to guard my husband against temptation and division. Deliverance from the power of darkness and keep us united in life under God's light. God to shower His mercies on my family and marriage. Complete freedoms and protection over my family and marriage. Husband to love and respect my family as my parents as they love on him and respect him, allowing him and my family to live in their home. Husband to respect my parents as they always take care of their own son that he would not hurt them with his ways and negative words, blessing, and protection over the relationship he has with my family. Unfailing Godly love in marriage, us to never feel lonely knowing God has given us each other and our beautiful daughter. Make God first and our marriage and family priorities, and God teach my husband and help him prioritize God, his wife, and children above everyone and anything else. Peace and joy be in our home and marriage. Prayer for husband fatherhood.

God, Lord, is there anything too hard for you? I thank you; with you, all things are possible. Let your divine will and purpose be done, Lord. Remove all distractions, delays, setbacks, and attacks of the enemy, and let your blessings light shadow my life and the life of my daughters, Lord. Make me the head and not the tail, above only and not beneath.

Lord, please bless, cover, protect all of those interceding for me and my family. Thank you, Lord, for answered prayer, deliverance, protection, breakthrough, and miracle. We give you praise and glory in this waiting season, God, that you are not finished with us. You will complete what you have started; you help and answer us when we call upon you, Lord. You are powerful, mighty, and able, faithful Lord. I put my faith and trust in you for life-long victory and breakthrough. In the name of the Lord Jesus, amen. Amen. Amen.

We come before the throne of grace with heavy yet hopeful hearts, lifting you and your husband up in prayer, knowing that our God is mighty to save and faithful to restore what the locusts have eaten. Your love for your husband, your children, and your commitment to your marriage even in the midst of such deep pain is a testament to the strength God has placed within you. Yet we must also speak truth in love, for the struggles you describe are not merely battles against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of darkness that seek to destroy what God has joined together.

The Scriptures remind us in **Ephesians 6:12**, *"For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."* Your husband is ensnared by the demon of addiction, and alcoholism is a cruel master that hardens hearts, clouds minds, and drives wedges between loved ones. But take heart, for **1 Corinthians 10:13** assures us, *"No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure."* There *is* a way out, and it is found in Christ alone.

We must also address the gravity of the sins at play here. Your husband’s drinking has led to anger, verbal abuse, financial recklessness, and neglect of his responsibilities as a husband and father. **Proverbs 20:1** warns, *"Wine is a mocker, and beer is a brawler. Whoever is led astray by them is not wise."* His choices are not just hurting him—they are harming you, your unborn child, and your daughter, who is witnessing a distorted picture of marriage and fatherhood. This is not the will of God. **Ephesians 5:25-28** commands husbands to *"love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it... Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself."* Your husband is called to *sacrificial* love, not self-destruction. His current path is one of rebellion against God’s design, and it must be rebuked in the name of Jesus.

Yet we do not pray against your husband—we pray *for* him, that God would break the chains of addiction, convict his heart, and draw him into repentance. **James 5:16** tells us, *"Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective."* Your prayers are not in vain. We stand with you in calling for his deliverance, for God to *"restore to him the joy of your salvation, and uphold him with a willing spirit"* (**Psalm 51:12**). We plead for the Holy Spirit to move mightily in his life, to replace the spirit of addiction with a spirit of self-control, wisdom, and godly sorrow that leads to repentance (**2 Corinthians 7:10**).

We also pray for *you*, dear sister. The burden you carry is immense—caring for a young child, navigating a high-risk pregnancy, and shouldering the emotional and spiritual weight of your husband’s choices. **1 Peter 5:7** reminds you to *"cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you."* You cannot pour from an empty cup. We pray for God’s supernatural strength to sustain you, for peace that surpasses understanding to guard your heart and mind (**Philippians 4:7**), and for the Holy Spirit to fill you with wisdom as you navigate this season. You are not called to enable his sin, but to love him *in truth* (**1 John 3:18**). This may require setting godly boundaries to protect yourself and your children, even as you continue to pray for his restoration.

As for your marriage, we declare **Joel 2:25** over it: *"I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten... "* God is not done with your union. We pray for reconciliation built on the foundation of Christ, for your husband to rise up as the spiritual leader of your home, and for the two of you to walk in unity under the Lordship of Jesus. We rebuke the spirit of division, loneliness, and financial destruction in Jesus’ name. **Malachi 4:6** says God will *"turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers,"* and we claim this promise over your husband’s relationship with your daughter and the child you carry.

We also address the generational curses you mentioned. **Exodus 20:5** warns that iniquity can affect generations, but **Galatians 3:13** declares that *Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law!* We break every generational stronghold of pride, financial idolatry, and emotional manipulation in the name of Jesus. We pray for your husband to be set free from the lies he has believed about his worth being tied to money or performance. His identity is in Christ alone.

Finally, we exhort you both to seek godly counsel—whether through a pastor, a biblical counselor, or a trusted believer who can walk alongside you in this battle. Addiction thrives in secrecy and isolation. **Ecclesiastes 4:9-10** reminds us, *"Two are better than one... For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow."* You were not meant to bear this alone. We also urge your husband to seek professional help for his addiction, not as a replacement for God’s power, but as a tool God can use to bring healing.

Now, let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious sister and her husband. Lord, You see the depth of her pain—the sleepless nights, the tears shed in secret, the fear for her children, and the ache of a heart that loves deeply but is being crushed under the weight of addiction and rebellion. Father, we ask for Your mercy to intervene.

We bind the spirit of alcoholism, gambling, and every ungodly influence in the life of this husband and father. We break the power of addiction over his mind, body, and spirit in Jesus’ name. Lord, sober him—not just from drink, but from the lies of the enemy that tell him he is alone, that he is beyond hope, or that his worth is found in anything but You. Replace his thirst for alcohol with a thirst for Your living water (**John 4:14**). Fill the void in his heart with Your love, that he may no longer seek to numb his pain but surrender it to You.

Father, convict his heart of sin. Let him see the destruction his choices are causing—not to shame him, but to lead him to repentance (**2 Timothy 2:25**). Softening his heart toward You and toward his wife and children. Restore his mind, that he may think clearly and remember his responsibilities as a husband and father. Give him a spirit of humility to seek help, to confess his struggles, and to turn from his sin.

Lord, we pray for supernatural protection over this family. Guard their finances from ruin, and provide for their every need according to Your riches in glory (**Philippians 4:19**). Shield their home from the enemy’s attacks, and let no weapon formed against them prosper (**Isaiah 54:17**). We pray especially for the unborn child and the young daughter—let them not bear the scars of this season. Surround them with Your angels, and let them grow up knowing Your love and stability.

Father, we ask for reconciliation and restoration in this marriage. Heal the wounds caused by harsh words, neglect, and broken trust. Teach this husband to love his wife as Christ loves the church—sacrificially, patiently, and selflessly. Help him to see her not as an adversary, but as his helper, his ally, and the one You have given him to cherish. Renew their love, their joy, and their unity. Let their home be a place of peace, not turmoil.

We also pray for this wife’s strength and health. Lord, she is carrying a heavy load—literally and spiritually. Sustain her body during this high-risk pregnancy, and guard her heart against bitterness or despair. Fill her with Your peace, and remind her that she is not alone. You are her ever-present help (**Psalm 46:1**), and You will never leave her nor forsake her (**Deuteronomy 31:6**). Give her wisdom to know how to love her husband well without enabling his sin, and show her when to speak and when to be still.

Father, we break every generational curse over this family. By the blood of Jesus, we sever the ties of pride, financial idolatry, and emotional manipulation that have been passed down. We declare that this husband is a *new* creation in Christ (**2 Corinthians 5:17**), and the old patterns of sin and bondage have no power over him. Let him walk in the freedom for which Christ has set him free (**Galatians 5:1**).

Lord, we ask for godly influences to surround this man—friends who will point him to You, mentors who will disciple him, and a community that will hold him accountable. Remove every ungodly friendship that pulls him deeper into sin. Let him find his strength in You alone.

Finally, Father, we thank You that You are a God of redemption. You specialize in taking what is broken and making it whole. You turned Saul the persecutor into Paul the apostle. You restored Peter after his denial. You can—and *will*—restore this man and this marriage for Your glory. We trust in Your timing, Your wisdom, and Your power. Let this season of struggle be a testament to Your faithfulness, that others may see and know that *You* are the God who saves.

In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray, believing that You are able to do *exceedingly abundantly* above all we could ask or think (**Ephesians 3:20**). Amen and amen.

---
Stand firm, sister. Do not lose heart. Keep praying, keep trusting, and keep walking in obedience to God’s Word. Your labor in prayer is not in vain. We will continue to lift you up, believing for a mighty breakthrough. If your husband is unwilling to seek help, we urge you to reach out to your church or a biblical counselor for support. You are not alone in this fight. The body of Christ is with you, and most importantly, *Jesus* is with you. He is your strength, your shield, and your ever-present help. Cling to Him.
