I'm at the end of my rope and don't know what to do. My husband of 8 years is addicted to drugs, crack I think. I have prayed and cried and prayed and cried some more. I'm surprised I even have any tears left to fall. He has ruined our finances, lost his job and even pawned both our wedding rings. He lies to me and steals from our family. Today I found a check missing from my personal bank account check book. We are surviving on my income alone, which is not much, we have no health benefits so rehab is out of the question. I don't know if he would go anyway. I haven't had anyone to talk to about this as I am too embarrassed to involve my family. I'm not expecting anyone to provide me with a magical answer. Some extra prayers and maybe some moral support would be great.

Lord, we trust You to know what this wife needs. We pray that You take away the bondage of drugs from her husband. Give her the strength to go the distance to save her marriage. We pray that Your will be done.

God's blessings and love,

WOW!
You're a very courageous and strong person; far more than you give yourself credit for. GOD is with you in all of this; your are NOT alone. GOD is a miracle worker and that's exactly what you need NOW. Father GOD, in Jesus name, this Friend is screaming for help and You are the only one that can create a divine "miracle". We ask for Your intervention to right the wrongs and to turn curses and failures into blessings and success. We thank You for all You are going to perform in their lives. All glory and honour be to You, Father. Amen and Amen!

I will pray for you that you have the courage to walk away from your husband. you should not continue in such unhealthy relationship. He will destroy you. You should pray for him to quit his addiction but in the meantime you should move on with your life away from him. God would not be happy with your supporting this relationship. Drugs kill people and every one around them. Rebuild your life away from him. When he quits and he wants you back, then you can consider it. I will pray that God gives you the strength and courage to begin a new life.

LORD Jesus, You came to preach the gospel to the poor, heal the brokenhearted, preach deliverance to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind. You have also promised to set at liberty those who are bruised. (Luke 4:18)
Help this husband to acknowledge that his drug addiction has made him a captive and has bruised him in many ways. Heal this husband of any root of hurt, rejection, bitterness, resentment, lack of love for others and self. It is not Your will LORD for this husband to be captive to any addiction and You desire to be LORD in every area of his life. We ask You to come in power and deliver this husband now as we pray.

Almighty GOD, any sin in this husband's life that has opened the door to this addiction, show it to him. If there is any unforgiveness, bitterness, or judgement of others, any evil speaking, hatred of others or himself, any wrath, sinful anger, jealousy, or any other sins, reveal them to him now, and convict him of sin, righteousness, and judgement, that he will confess and repent so that You may deliver and heal him. Please, LORD Jesus, cleanse him from all sin and all unrighteousness by Your blood. (1 John 1:9)
Blessed Redeemer, bring Your healing love to this husband and wife's hearts and heal each wound and hurt. (Psalm 147:3)
Righteous Father, let this husband and wife, both, be buried with Christ in His death, that they both can walk in newness of life. (Romans 6:1-4)
In Christ they will be dead to sin and alive to GOD! Hallelujah! Therefore this husband will not let the sin of addiction reign in his mortal body nor will he obey the lusts of it. (Romans 6:11,12)

Abba Father, You resist the proud and give grace to the humble. Help this husband to humble himself before You now, as we come boldly to Your throne of grace. We ask for grace to help this husband in this time of need. (Hebrews 4:15,16)
Merciful Father, we ask You to intervene in this husband's life. Strengthen him and his wife by Yopur Spirit in their inner man. (Ephesians 3:16)
We ask as we pray Your Word, LORD, this husband receives Your healing touch that delivers him from the bondage of this addiction. This husband renounces it now, LORD. Hallelujah!
Because of Your great mercy it will not have any power over him any longer. Hallelujah! (Psalms 51:1)
You are LORD and we submit this husband's life totally to You! Glory to GOD!
Righteous Father, we thank You that the dark power of addiction over this husband is broken. You have transformed this husband out of the power of darkness into the kingdom of Your SON, our LORD, Jesus the Christ. Hallelujah!
LORD, we thank You that You never leave this husband and wife. We thank You for Your guiding presence and Your love. Thank You for pouring out Your Spirit upon this husband and for giving him total victory. Thank You, LORD, for setting him free to enter the glorious liberty of the sons of GOD. (Romans 8:21) Praise You LORD! Hallelujah!
Amen and Amen

You have the support of all the Intercessors here on this site and I am fully aware that we are talking to a very strong and faithful person. I know that because 8 years is a long time to endure the shame, the secrets, the hopelessness of shattered dreams...of what you looked forward to in the beginning to what it has come to in this season of your life. Like so many of us who have experienced being down in the valley, you probably have sat alone crying in a quiet place somewhere, anywhere, a place where no one can find you and you ask, "What happened to my marriage and when did it all start falling apart?" We ask those questions because we build our hopes, future, and dreams around "marriage" and our perception of the ideal marriage. I read your post and I hurt for many things...for you, for your husbands addictions, for your marriage. I ask myself, "How on earth ...where on earth... did she get the strength and courage to go as long as she has?" As I thought about it, I know that you have been strengthened by sheer faith in GOD. You have been secretly talking with Him about all of this and You think He has totally and utterly abandoned you. And yet...you still talk to GOD. That is faith...you definitely have it. Remember in II Corinthians 5:7 when Apostle Paul said that we walk by faith and not by sight? No matter what, Friend, do not lose your faith in GOD or believe that He has abandoned you. This experience has drawn you closer to GOD than you have ever come before and that is what He is waiting on; for you to speak to Him. GOD's love is so encompassing and far reaching that it goes beyond the scope of human logic, reason, and imagination. We hate people that He sent His Son to die on the cross for. We wish evil and disastrous things to befall the people we despise and He sent His Son to die on the cross for them. Jesus willingly gave His life for ALL mankind and wants NO ONE....including people we hate and despise...He wansts NO ONE to perish and be left to Eternal desolation, but Eternal LIFE. I will bring your request to Church tomorrow for my Pastor and Church to pray over. The reason you feel the way you do is because you love your husband, but you can't understand what's happening to him and why he's letting it happen. Take it to GOD, and keep taking it to Him. Marriage was His design and GOD never fails at anything. Satan, the enemy of GOD is the ruler and prince of the air here on earth because of the sin (disobedience...Adam and Eve) in the Garden of Eden (Lucifer commited the 1st sin). You have hope in Christ who came to free us from bondage. When you pray, ask in the NAME OF JESUS and believe that GOD hears your cries and will send an answer. The bible tells us that all things work together for the good to those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose. We are all called by GOD, but many do nothing. Father, In Jesus name, we petition You, Holy Spirit to reveal to this Friend who she is IN and THROUGH You and who You are to her. Grant her supernatural wisdom and revelation and saving knowledge to know who You are. We lift her husband and this marriage up to You, Father, and ask that You send her a sign that all will be well with her and that You are able to do all things that our finite minds cannot imagine. Bring a miracle to this marriage for both of them and rekindle the love they once shared when they exchanged vows. We ask this of You Father because we know that what seems impossible in our eyes is nothing to You if we ask in faith for what we need. Friend, we will continue to pray for your situation and remember: Never, ever give up. GOD is a GOD who sees, hears, knows, and understands ALL things. He is always faithful to us. GOD's Peace surround you and infiltrate every pore and vessel flowing through you, in Jesus name we pray.

I give thanks to all of you for all the support and extra prayers.
Things are very difficult in my life right now trying to keep my marriage together.
I appreciate all of your kind words and prayers more than any of you will ever know.

Dear Heavenly Father, Please be with this wife that she will turn to you for answers. Help her to have faith in your work. Please place a shield around her husband that only positive people will cross his path and that if he should meet the sinful that he will have the strength to turn them away. God Bless them both. For this we pray in Jesus name. AMEN

I know how brave you are. May the Lord bless you and get you through this and yes it can be done. without insurance your husband can go to the hospital for a one day detox you can fill out a form for charity case to get the bill paid. the hospital can also give you free services phone number. my advice knowing people that have gone through it do not allow him to have any more acess to any bank accounts credit cards in his name or yours u can put some kind of warning in credit report to inform you if someone is trying to open a credit account in your or his name the credit card co. or bank can give you telephone numbers on who to contact. if you have a church seek support there with your pastor a male rolemodel your husband can speak to.if there is someone is your or his family that your husband looks up to try and speak to them and work as a team now this may seem a little harsh but at his present state he will lie cheat steal so it may be wise to warn so family members if you think he might steal from them.unfortunately drug addiction is powerful and he will literaly steel from anyone be strong be courageous and be loving use kind but firm words and keep him busy with things he likes. trust in GOD he is the only one who can get you through this everyday rebuke all evil from your home husband yourself family everyone and everything he has contact with. it will not be easy but i know many people who are doing great now it takes hard work and don't be fooled by his words be on guard all the time. i pray father God to bless this beautiful lady and her husband and shield them by the blood of Jesus christ and i rebuke all spirit of addiction on her husband in the most powerful name of our Lord Jesus Christ Amen.with GOD you are never alone speak to him all the time you will get through this in victory and remind your husband of your love and God's love and that he has to be strong and courageous too and put effort into his own recovery.p.s. before you take my advice or anyone elses put it in prayer and ask the Lord to let his will be done and to show you what way or actions you should take this is a delicate situation and should be treated as such.
