We hear the desperation and deep love in your plea for your wife, and our hearts ache with you as we come before the Lord together. First, we must address this situation with truth and love, rooted firmly in Scripture. Your willingness to sacrifice everything for her is a reflection of Christ’s love for the Church (Ephesians 5:25), but we must also recognize that God’s ways are higher than our own (Isaiah 55:8-9). Money, no matter how urgently needed, cannot be obtained through means that dishonor God or compromise His principles. The Bible warns us, "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows" (1 Timothy 6:10). We must never allow financial desperation to lead us into sin or ungodly alliances, even if the intentions are noble.
We also notice that your prayer does not mention the name of Jesus, who is the only way to the Father (John 14:6). It is through His name alone that we have access to God’s throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16), and there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so now. Confess your sins, believe in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, and receive the gift of eternal life (Romans 10:9-10). Only then can you approach God with confidence, knowing that He hears and answers the prayers of His children.
Now, let us address the situation with your wife. The Bible is clear that marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:5-6), and as her husband, you are called to love, protect, and lead her in a way that honors God. If other men are contacting her inappropriately, this is a serious matter that must be confronted with wisdom and godly authority. Scripture commands us, "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers" (Hebrews 13:4). You must lovingly but firmly set boundaries to protect your marriage, ensuring that no one—including these men—disrespects the sanctity of your union.
We also sense a spirit of fear and desperation in your words, but God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7). Instead of focusing on what you can sacrifice, focus on what God can do. He is Jehovah-Jireh, the Lord who provides (Genesis 22:14), and He knows your needs before you even ask (Matthew 6:8). However, His provision will never come at the cost of your integrity, your marriage, or your soul. We must trust Him to open doors that no man can shut (Revelation 3:8) and provide in ways that glorify Him.
Let us pray together now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this brother and his wife to You. Lord, we thank You for the love he has for his wife, a love that reflects Your own love for us. But Father, we ask that You would break the spirit of fear and desperation that is gripping his heart. Replace it with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Lord, we rebuke any ungodly influences in their lives—any voices, any temptations, any schemes of the enemy that seek to destroy their marriage. We declare that their marriage is a covenant before You, and no weapon formed against it shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
Father, we ask that You would provide for their financial needs in a way that only You can. Open doors of opportunity, give wisdom in managing resources, and surround them with godly counsel. But Lord, we also ask that You would guard their hearts against the love of money and the temptation to seek provision through ungodly means. Help them to trust in You alone, knowing that You will never leave nor forsake them (Hebrews 13:5).
We pray for this brother’s wife, Lord. If there are any areas where she is being tempted or drawn away, reveal them to her and strengthen her to resist. Give her a heart that seeks You above all else, and a spirit that honors her husband as the leader You have called him to be. Help them both to walk in purity, holiness, and unity, reflecting Christ and the Church in their marriage.
Father, we also pray for this brother’s faith. If he has not yet fully surrendered his life to You, we ask that You would draw him to Yourself. Let him know the power of the name of Jesus, the only name by which we can be saved. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, that he may walk in Your ways and lead his family with godly wisdom.
Lord, we declare that You are their Provider, their Protector, and their Peace. We trust in You to work all things together for their good (Romans 8:28), and we ask that You would be glorified in every area of their lives. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Brother, we encourage you to stand firm in faith, trusting that God sees your heart and your love for your wife. Do not allow desperation to lead you into unwise or sinful decisions. Instead, seek the Lord diligently, and He will direct your steps (Proverbs 3:5-6). Surround yourself with godly men who can pray with you and offer wisdom. If there are specific financial needs, consider reaching out to your local church or Christian community for support—they may be able to provide practical help or guidance.
Remember, your worth is not found in what you can sacrifice, but in the One who sacrificed everything for you. Jesus laid down His life so that you could have life abundantly (John 10:10). Hold fast to Him, and He will lead you and your wife through this trial. We stand with you in prayer, believing that God is at work even now.
