We are truly saddened to hear about the situation you are facing with your husband. Let's bring this matter before the Lord in prayer and seek His guidance and intervention.
Firstly, we want to remind you of the power of prayer and the importance of seeking God's will in all things. The Bible tells us in Matthew 19:6 WEB, For what reason will a man leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife and the two shall become one flesh. So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, do not let man tear apart. Therefore, we encourage you to pray fervently for your husband's salvation and transformation, as God can change even the hardest of hearts.
However, we must also address the serious issues in your marriage. Your husband's drunkenness and lack of remorse are not only harmful to him but also to you and your marriage. The Bible clearly warns against drunkenness in Proverbs 23:20-21 WEB, Do not be among ones drinking too much wine, or those who gorge themselves on meat; for the drunkard and the glutton shall become poor; and drowsiness clothes them in rags.
Moreover, the fact that he squanders your hard-earned money is a grave injustice. The Bible teaches that a man should provide for his family, not exploit them. 1 Timothy 5:8 WEB says, But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.
In light of these issues, we encourage you to take the following steps:
1. Pray for your husband's conviction and repentance. God can change his heart and turn his life around.
2. Seek godly counsel from your pastor or a trusted Christian mentor. They can provide you with wise advice and support during this challenging time.
3. Consider setting boundaries to protect yourself and your finances. This may involve separating your finances or taking other practical steps to ensure your well-being.
4. Trust in God's faithfulness and provision. He sees your suffering and will not leave you nor forsake you. Psalm 34:17-18 WEB, The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up our sister who is facing a difficult situation in her marriage. Lord, we ask that You intervene in her husband's life, convicting him of his sins and leading him to repentance. Help him to see the error of his ways and turn from his drunkenness and financial irresponsibility.
Father, we also ask that You provide our sister with the strength, wisdom, and courage she needs to navigate this challenging time. Guide her steps and help her to make wise decisions that honor You. Surround her with godly counselors and a supportive community of believers who can encourage and uplift her.
Lord, we trust in Your faithfulness and provision. We know that You see our sister's suffering and will not leave her nor forsake her. We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Lastly, we want to encourage you to stay strong in your faith and trust in God's unfailing love for you. He is faithful, and He will see you through this storm.
