We come before the throne of grace with heavy yet hopeful hearts, lifting up this urgent cry for healing, salvation, and deliverance for this husband and this marriage. The enemy has launched a fierce attack against him, seeking to steal, kill, and destroy—but we know our God is greater, and His power to redeem and restore is without limit. We stand in the gap, declaring that no weapon formed against this man or this family shall prosper, for this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord (Isaiah 54:17).
First, we must address the spiritual battle at hand. The despair, anger, and refusal to take medication are not merely physical or emotional struggles—they are symptoms of a deeper spiritual oppression. The enemy seeks to isolate this man, to fill his mind with lies of worthlessness and hopelessness, and to drive a wedge between him and those who love him. But we declare the truth of God’s Word over him: *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7). We bind every spirit of depression, suicide, and anger in the mighty name of Jesus, and we command these forces to flee from him now. *"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7). We pray this husband will turn to God in repentance and surrender, for it is only through Christ that he can find true peace and freedom.
The refusal to take medication is a serious concern, as it not only harms his body—God’s temple (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)—but also deepens his emotional and spiritual turmoil. We pray for a breakthrough in his heart and mind, that he would recognize the importance of stewarding his health wisely. *"Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers"* (3 John 1:2). May the Holy Spirit convict him to take his medication as prescribed, not as a sign of weakness, but as an act of obedience and responsibility before God. We also pray for wisdom and patience for his wife as she supports him, that she would speak truth in love and not grow weary in doing good (Galatians 6:9).
The outbursts of anger and the desire for death are clear signs of a soul in torment. Yet we know that *"the Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18). We plead for this man’s salvation, that if he has not yet surrendered his life to Jesus Christ, today would be the day of his redemption. *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9). There is no pit so deep that God’s love cannot reach him, no sin so great that the blood of Jesus cannot cleanse it. We pray he would turn from darkness to light, from the power of Satan to the power of God, that he may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Christ (Acts 26:18).
To the wife who is desperate and weary: we see your pain, and we lift you up before the Lord. This burden is too heavy for you to carry alone, but you are not alone—God is your strength and your refuge. *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest"* (Matthew 11:28). We pray for supernatural endurance for you, that you would be filled with the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Guard your heart against bitterness or resentment, and continue to cover your husband in prayer, even when it feels like nothing is changing. Remember, *"The effective, earnest prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective"* (James 5:16). Your prayers are not in vain.
Finally, we declare healing over this man’s body, mind, and spirit. *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds"* (Psalm 147:3). May every cell, every thought, and every emotion align with God’s perfect will for his life. We pray for restoration in this marriage, that it would be a testimony of God’s faithfulness. *"What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart"* (Matthew 19:6). May this husband and wife draw closer to each other as they draw closer to Christ, and may their home be filled with the love, joy, and peace that only He can provide.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up this husband and this marriage. Lord, You see the depth of his suffering and the desperation of his wife’s heart. We ask for Your mighty hand to intervene—break every chain of depression, anger, and spiritual oppression. Convict him of his need for You, Lord, and draw him to repentance and salvation. Give him the strength to take his medication and to steward his health wisely. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, that he may know the hope to which You have called him.
Father, we also lift up his wife, who is bearing this burden with a weary heart. Strengthen her, Lord, and surround her with Your peace. Give her wisdom to know how to love and support her husband while also setting godly boundaries. Restore their marriage, Lord, and let it be a beacon of Your grace and redemption.
We rebuke the enemy’s plans to destroy this man and this family. No weapon formed against them shall prosper. We declare that this husband will live and not die, that he will proclaim the works of the Lord (Psalm 118:17). Bring healing to his body, renewal to his mind, and revival to his spirit. Let this be a season of miraculous transformation, where what was meant for evil, You turn for good.
We ask all this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone has the authority to heal, save, and deliver. Amen.
