We come before the throne of grace with heavy yet hopeful hearts, lifting up this marriage and family in fervent prayer, for we know that what God has joined together, no man—or sin—should separate. The pain of betrayal and the threat of divorce are deep wounds, but our God is a God of restoration, redemption, and miracles. He is the One who turns ashes into beauty and mends what is broken. We stand in agreement with you, sister, crying out to the Lord for the salvation of this marriage, the repentance of your husband, and the removal of every ungodly influence in his life.
The Word of God is clear: *"Haven’t you read from the beginning that God made them male and female, and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall join to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh’? So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart."* (Matthew 19:4-6, WEB). Marriage is a covenant before God, and He takes that covenant seriously. The enemy seeks to destroy families, but we declare that the Lord will expose and break every scheme of division in this marriage. The women in your husband’s life who are not his wife must be removed by the power of God—whether through conviction, repentance, or the Lord’s direct intervention. We pray that your husband’s eyes would be opened to the destruction of his choices and that he would turn back to the Lord and to you in genuine repentance.
We also address the words exchanged between you and your husband that were not pleasing to God. The Lord’s Prayer teaches us to ask for forgiveness as we forgive others (Matthew 6:12). We pray that both of you would seek the Lord’s forgiveness and extend grace to one another, for bitterness and resentment have no place in a marriage that honors Christ. *"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you"* (Ephesians 4:31-32, WEB). Let this be a season of humility, repentance, and reconciliation—not just between you and your husband, but between each of you and the Lord.
To the threat of divorce, we declare: *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB). God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16), not because He despises those who are hurting, but because He knows the devastation it brings to families, to children, and to the testimony of His love. We pray that every legal or emotional step toward divorce would be halted by the hand of God. We ask the Lord to soften your husband’s heart and to give you both the strength to fight for this marriage, not in your own power, but in the power of the Holy Spirit.
We also lift up your children and grandchildren, who are deeply affected by this turmoil. *"Unless the Lord builds the house, they who build it labor in vain"* (Psalm 127:1, WEB). Lord, we ask that You would protect their hearts and minds from the pain of this season. Draw them closer to You, and let them see Your faithfulness even in the midst of this storm. Raise up godly influences in their lives, and let this trial become a testimony of Your restoring power.
Sister, we urge you to stand firm in faith, not wavering in your prayers. *"The effective, earnest prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective"* (James 5:16, WEB). Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season, you will reap if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9). Cling to the Lord, seek His face daily, and trust that He is working even when you cannot see it. Surround yourself with godly counsel—believers who will pray with you, encourage you, and hold you accountable to walk in forgiveness and wisdom.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this marriage and family to You. Lord, You are the God who heals, restores, and redeems. We ask that You would intervene powerfully in this situation. Convict our brother of his sin and draw him back to You and to his wife. Break every ungodly soul tie and remove every influence that is not of You. Let no weapon formed against this marriage prosper, and let every tongue that rises against it be condemned (Isaiah 54:17).
Lord, we ask for a spirit of repentance to sweep through this home. Soften hearts, renew minds, and restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25). Let this marriage be a testimony of Your grace and faithfulness. Protect the children and grandchildren, Lord, and let them know Your peace even in this storm.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of divorce and declare that this marriage will stand, in Jesus’ name. Give our sister the strength to forgive, the wisdom to act, and the faith to believe. Let her see Your hand moving in ways she cannot even imagine. We ask for miracles, Lord—for hearts to turn, for wounds to heal, and for love to be rekindled.
We thank You, Father, that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). We trust in You, and we give You all the glory. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
