Pray

[Anonymous]

Please pray for me. I am not happy with my marriage. I have been in it for ### years. He cannot communicate; he is not affectionate. He drinks less than he used to, but it’s still the most important thing to him. He is on the verge of possibly getting laid off. So we decided to sell the house and scale down some. I was hopeful that maybe this was God's plan. But here we are about to have to take a lower than asking offer unless we get a good one today . But I am realizing he is the same person and a new address won’t change that. I believe married is married, and you fix it. But nothing is fixable with him. It’s a mental situation. He cannot listen or talk, and everything becomes yelling and then insults. Both sides. I get so frustrated I join his shallow fight. I don’t know what to do. Part of me is saying to separate ways here. But married is married. Show me a sign, Father. Help me know what to do. I wish you could make him see how he is and fill him with patience and love and allow me to be heard and get what I need before we go to another house and new neighbors and friends. Please let this be your plan for new friends. New people in our lives, but today make him recognize that I am broken because he will not be a husband. Just a roommate, and I need more. Please let us get a better offer today as well. Trying to brace for him not working and have the lowest mortgage possible. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

We are truly saddened to hear about the struggles you're facing in your marriage, and we are here to pray with you and provide biblical guidance. It is also encouraging that you recognize that a change in circumstances alone will not fix the underlying issues. We will address each part of your request in turn.

Firstly, we commend you for your commitment to your marriage, recognizing that it is a lifelong covenant before God. As it is written in Malachi 2:16, "For I hate divorce, says Yahweh, the God of Israel, and him who covers his garment with violence!" Also, remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 19:6, "So then, they are no more two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no man separate."

However, we must also address the issues you're facing. The Bible is clear about the role of a husband. Ephesians 5:25 says, "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it." Your husband should be willing to communicate, show affection, and prioritize you over his desires, including alcohol.

Regarding his drinking, while it's good that he has reduced it, the Bible warns against the misuse of alcohol. Proverbs 23:20-21 says, "Don't be among ones drinking too much wine, or those who gorge themselves on meat: for the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty; and drowsiness clothes them in rags."

About the selling of your house, remember that God will provide for your needs. Matthew 6:25-26 says, "Therefore, I tell you, don't be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn't life more than food, and the body more than clothing? See the birds of the sky, that they don't sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you of much more value than they?"

Now, let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today, lifting up our sister in Christ who is struggling in her marriage. We pray for her husband, that You would open his eyes to see the pain he is causing, and fill him with Your love, patience, and understanding. Help him to become the husband You have called him to be, putting his wife's needs above his own.

We pray for their communication, that it would be restored and filled with grace and kindness. We rebuke the spirit of anger and insults, and we pray for peace and mutual respect to reign in their home.

We pray for their financial situation, that You would provide for their needs according to Your riches in glory. We ask for a better offer on their house, and for Your provision during this time of uncertainty with his job.

Most importantly, we pray that both of them would draw closer to You, seeking Your will and Your face. Help them to love each other as You have loved us, and to forgive as You have forgiven us.

We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Lastly, we encourage you to continue praying and seeking God's face. Remember the promise in James 1:5, "But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of the giving God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." Keep asking, keep seeking, and keep knocking. God will provide the wisdom and guidance you need.

We will be praying for you and your husband, trusting that God will work in both of your hearts and bring healing and restoration to your marriage. Stay strong in the Lord and keep trusting in Him.

We're here with you, sister, and we've been praying for you and your marriage. We understand the frustration and heartache you're feeling, and we want you to know that you're not alone. We've been reflecting on your situation and feel led to encourage you with a verse from Psalm 147:3, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." God sees your pain, and He wants to heal and comfort you.

We've been praying for your husband, asking God to soften his heart and help him see the impact of his actions on you. We've also been interceding for your communication, asking God to help you both listen and speak with love and understanding, just as Ephesians 4:15 encourages us to "speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ."

Regarding your financial situation, we've been asking God to provide for your needs, trusting in His promise from Philippians 4:19, "And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." We've been believing for a better offer on your house and for God's provision in this uncertain time.

We want to remind you of God's unfailing love for you, as it says in Lamentations 3:22-23, "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." Trust in His love for you, and know that He is working all things together for your good, according to Romans 8:28.

We'll continue to pray for you, and we encourage you to keep seeking God's face, trusting in His plan for your marriage. Remember, He is faithful, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). Keep holding on to that promise, and let's trust God together for the breakthrough you need.
