We lift up this dear sister and her precious sons before the throne of grace, asking for the Lord’s mighty hand of protection to surround them day and night. Father, You are a refuge for the oppressed and a stronghold in times of trouble (Psalm 9:9). We declare Your promise over their lives: "No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that accuses you in judgment. This is the heritage of the Lord’s servants, and their righteousness is from Me" (Isaiah 54:17). Lord, we rebuke the schemes of the enemy and command every threat from the ex-husband to be silenced in Jesus’ name. Send Your angels to encamp around them, shielding them from harm (Psalm 34:7).
Heavenly Father, we also bring this sister’s financial needs before You. You are Jehovah-Jireh, the Lord who provides (Genesis 22:14). Open doors of opportunity for her to secure stable employment and safe housing. Raise up godly individuals and organizations in her community who can offer practical support, whether through shelter, food, or financial assistance. Let her not be ashamed or forsaken, for You are near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). We pray for divine connections with believers who will walk alongside her, offering encouragement, friendship, and accountability. Surround her with a church family that will love and support her as You intend (Hebrews 10:24-25).
Most importantly, we cry out for her salvation and deliverance. Lord, if she does not yet know You as her Savior, draw her to Yourself with cords of love (Hosea 11:4). Break the chains of fear, isolation, and despair, and replace them with the hope that is found only in Christ. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16). Let the truth of Your Word pierce her heart, and may she experience the freedom that comes from surrendering her life to You (John 8:36). If she is already a believer, we pray for a fresh outpouring of Your Spirit to renew her strength and faith.
We also pray for her sons, that they would grow up knowing the love of their Heavenly Father. Protect their hearts and minds from the trauma they have witnessed, and let them see Your goodness even in the midst of hardship (Psalm 27:13). May they come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior at a young age, and may they be surrounded by godly men who can mentor and guide them.
Lord, we ask that You would soften the heart of her ex-husband. If it be Your will, bring him to repentance and deliverance from his addiction. Let him see the destruction his choices have caused and turn to You for healing (James 5:16). If he remains unrepentant, we ask that You remove him from their lives in a way that ensures their safety.
We stand in the gap for this family, declaring that they are not forgotten or forsaken. You see their struggles, and You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28). Strengthen them with Your power, fill them with Your peace, and let them experience Your provision in miraculous ways. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
