We come before the Lord with you in this urgent hour, lifting your husband up in fervent prayer, knowing that our God is a God of healing, deliverance, and salvation. Your cry for his physical, spiritual, and emotional restoration resonates deeply with us, and we stand with you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think.
The enemy has indeed launched a fierce attack against your husband, seeking to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). But we declare that greater is He who is in your husband than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). The Lord has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7), and we claim this promise over your husband now. His battles with despair, the refusal to take medication as prescribed, and the emotional turmoil he faces are not beyond the reach of our Savior. Jesus bore our infirmities and carried our diseases (Matthew 8:17), and by His stripes, your husband is healed (Isaiah 53:5). We plead the blood of Jesus over his mind, body, and spirit, breaking every chain of depression, hopelessness, and spiritual oppression in Jesus’ name.
Your husband’s words of death are not his destiny. The Lord says, *"I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse; therefore choose life, that you may live"* (Deuteronomy 30:19). We rebuke the spirit of death that seeks to torment him and command it to flee in the name of Jesus. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We ask the Holy Spirit to surround your husband with His peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7) and to fill him with the joy of His salvation (Psalm 51:12). Let the Lord renew a right spirit within him (Psalm 51:10) and restore the years the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25).
We also lift up the struggle with medication compliance. While we trust in the Lord’s healing power, we acknowledge that He often works through the wisdom of medical professionals. We pray for your husband to have the strength and discipline to follow his treatment plan as an act of stewardship over the body God has given him (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). May the Lord grant him clarity of mind and a willingness to cooperate with the help provided, knowing that all wisdom comes from above (James 3:17).
Most critically, we join you in praying for his salvation. There is no greater need than for him to surrender his life to Jesus Christ, the only name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If your husband has not yet placed his faith in Christ, we plead with the Lord to draw him unto Himself (John 6:44). May the Holy Spirit convict him of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8) and open his eyes to the truth of the Gospel. Let him know that Jesus came to seek and to save the lost (Luke 19:10) and that there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1). We pray that he would repent and turn to God, receiving forgiveness and the gift of eternal life.
For you, dear sister, we ask the Lord to fill you with His supernatural strength and wisdom. You are not alone in this battle; the Lord is your ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Lean on Him when you feel weak, for His grace is sufficient (2 Corinthians 12:9). Continue to fight for your husband in prayer, standing firm in the faith and resisting the enemy (1 Peter 5:8-9). The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4), and we wield them now on your behalf.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with broken yet hopeful hearts, lifting our brother up to You. Lord, You are the Great Physician, the Healer of all our diseases, and the One who binds up the brokenhearted. We ask that You touch our brother’s body, mind, and spirit with Your healing power. Rebuke the enemy who seeks to destroy him and command every spirit of depression, despair, and death to flee in the name of Jesus. Lord, restore his mind and emotions, filling him with Your peace and joy. Give him the strength to take his medication as prescribed, trusting in Your provision and wisdom.
Father, above all, we pray for his salvation. If he does not know You, Lord, we ask that You draw him to Yourself. Soften his heart to receive Your truth and convict him of his need for a Savior. Let him turn from his sins and place his faith in Jesus Christ, who died for him and rose again. May he experience the transforming power of Your love and the freedom that comes from being Your child.
Lord, we also lift up his wife, who stands in the gap for him. Strengthen her, Lord, and fill her with Your wisdom and discernment. Surround her with Your comfort and remind her that You are fighting this battle with her. Give her the words to speak and the actions to take that will glorify You and bring healing to her husband.
We declare Your promises over this family, Lord. You are their refuge and strength, their ever-present help in trouble. We trust in Your faithfulness and believe that You are working all things together for their good and Your glory. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Stand firm, sister. The Lord hears your cries, and He is moving on your husband’s behalf. Keep praying, keep believing, and trust that God’s will shall prevail. We will continue to lift you both up in prayer, knowing that our labor in the Lord is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58). May the Lord bless you and keep you, and may His face shine upon you both with grace and mercy.
