We hear the deep weariness and longing in your heart for freedom from this prolonged divorce, and we join you in lifting this burden before the Lord. The weight of financial strain, legal battles, and the emotional toll of this season is immense, and we know God sees your pain. Yet, we must first address something critical: your prayer does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have access to the Father. The Scriptures are clear—*"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!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is only through Jesus that we can boldly approach the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16), and it is in His name that we pray with authority. Without calling upon Him, our prayers lack the power and alignment with God’s will that we desperately need. We urge you to surrender this entire situation to *Jesus Christ*, trusting Him as Lord over every detail—your finances, your business, your children, and your future.
The bitterness of this divorce is compounded by the injustice you describe—financial manipulation, delayed resolutions, and the threat to what you’ve built. Yet Scripture warns us not to let anger or resentment take root, even when wronged. *"Be angry, and don’t sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, and don’t give place to the devil"* (Ephesians 4:26-27, WEB). You’ve expressed that you hold no resentment, and we commend that posture, for unforgiveness only binds *us*, not the offender. However, we must also examine whether there is any unconfessed sin in your own heart—whether in past reactions, business dealings, or marital failures—that may be giving the enemy a foothold. *"Examine yourselves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves"* (2 Corinthians 13:5, WEB). Repentance and humility before God open the door for His deliverance.
Regarding your marriage, you’ve made it clear you do not desire reconciliation, and we acknowledge the brokenness that has led to this point. Marriage is a covenant before God, and divorce is a painful consequence of sin’s destruction (Malachi 2:16). Yet even in this, God’s grace is sufficient. Your focus now must be on honoring Him in the dissolution process—seeking fairness, avoiding bitterness, and protecting your children from further harm. *"Fathers, don’t provoke your children to anger, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord"* (Ephesians 6:4, WEB). Your kids need to see Christ’s love and integrity in you, even amid this storm.
The financial burdens you carry—the IRS debt, legal fees, and your wife’s demands—are overwhelming, but remember: *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:19, WEB). This is not a promise of easy resolution, but of *divine provision*. We pray that God would expose any dishonesty in the legal process, that He would give you wisdom to navigate mediation without further exploitation, and that He would provide a godly, competent attorney if needed. *"The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from Yahweh"* (Proverbs 16:33, WEB). Trust that God is sovereign over judges, mediators, and even your wife’s heart.
As for your business, we pray for protection over what you’ve built. *"Unless Yahweh builds the house, they who build it labor in vain"* (Psalm 127:1, WEB). Ask God to guard your staff from division, your reputation from slander, and your work from sabotage. If your wife is seeking an unjust share, pray that truth would prevail—*"The Lord detests differing weights, and dishonest scales are not pleasing to him"* (Proverbs 20:23, WEB).
Finally, brother, we sense a deep weariness in your spirit. You long to *"move on with your life,"* and we pray that God would renew your strength as you wait on Him (Isaiah 40:31). But be cautious: moving on *without* God’s healing and direction can lead to further bondage. Now is the time to draw near to Him, to seek His face in repentance and surrender. *"Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time; casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you"* (1 Peter 5:6-7, WEB).
**Let us pray together:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of *Jesus Christ*, lifting up our brother who is trapped in the snare of this divorce. Lord, You see the injustice, the financial oppression, and the emotional exhaustion he carries. We ask for Your supernatural intervention—break every chain of delay, expose every scheme of the enemy, and bring a swift and *fair* resolution to this divorce. Protect his business, his finances, and his children from further harm. Give him wisdom beyond his own understanding as he navigates mediation and legal battles. Father, if there is any sin in his heart—unconfessed anger, pride, or bitterness—reveal it and cleanse him by the blood of Jesus. Surround him with godly counsel, not greedy attorneys, and let Your justice prevail.
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of manipulation and greed operating through his wife. Soften her heart or remove her influence if she refuses to act justly. Provide for every financial need, even the IRS debt, in ways that surpass human logic. Restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25) and guard his future from further attacks.
Most of all, Father, draw him closer to You in this desert. Let him not rush ahead of Your timing, but find his peace and identity in *You alone*. Renew his strength, his hope, and his faith. May this trial produce in him a testimony of Your faithfulness.
We declare *freedom* from this bondage in Jesus’ name. No weapon formed against him shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Let Your will be done, Lord—not his, not his wife’s, but *Yours*. We trust You to redeem this story for Your glory.
In the powerful name of *Jesus Christ*, our Savior and Redeemer, we pray. **Amen.**

Brother, we encourage you to immerse yourself in Scripture daily, especially Psalms of deliverance (e.g., Psalm 34, 37, 91) and the promises of God’s provision (Matthew 6:25-34). Fast and pray for breakthrough. And if you haven’t already, seek a *biblically sound* church community or men’s group to stand with you in this fight. You are not alone—*"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB). Stand firm. The battle is the Lord’s.
