We would like to share with you this hedge of thorns prayer. This is not the same as a hedge of protection prayer. The difference is the hedge of protection keeps what is external from coming in while the hedge of thorns prayer keeps what is in from going out.
You should only pray this prayer for people with whom you have a biblical covenant relationship. So this would be for an unfaithful spouse and you can also use this prayer for a prodigal child, drug addicted child, a child who is keeping company with gang related friends.
This prayer should not be prayed for your boyfriend, or girlfriend or someone whom you have feelings for that is not your spouse. That would be considered witchcraft because you are not in a covenant relationship with that person. You also don’t really know God’s will for that person so try not to let your emotions and feelings get control of you.
Likewise if you feel that someone who is not in a covenant relationship with you may be praying this over you, then you want to cut soul ties with them and pray this off of you.
Let’s look at the scriptures that talk about the Hedge of Thorns. There are actually 2 scriptures in the King James Version- one refers to laziness Proverbs 15:19 (we’ll cover that in a different post) and the other is Hosea 2:6.
We will focus in on Hosea 2:6. The book of Hosea is about the prophet Hosea and his unfaithful spouse. This book,while it can be taken literally, can also be looked at figuratively as the Church of Jesus Christ being unfaithful to God and chasing after things (idolatry) and not God. This is a spiritual unfaithfulness. Therefore if you see your child going after things that are not of God (prodigals, drug and alcohol addicted, bad company) you can use these scriptures to pray for them as well.
Let’s look at the scripture in context…
Hosea 2:5-7 (NKJV) “For their mother has played the harlot; She who conceived them has behaved shamefully. For 
she said, ‘I will go after my lovers, Who give me my bread and my water, My wool and my linen, My oil and my drink.’ “Therefore, behold, I will hedge up your way with thorns, And wall her in, So that she cannot find her paths. She will chase her lovers, But not overtake them; Yes, she will seek them, but not find them. Then she will say, ‘I will go and return to my first husband, For then it was better for me than now.’
That’s pretty clear showing that these hedge of thorns keeps the unfaithful from going out and they return to the one with whom they are in a covenant relationship.
Hedge of Thorns Prayer:
Father God, I present to you this day ___________ and ask that you put the hedge of thorns, according to Hosea 2:6, around them to keep them from falling into sin. Cause them to not find the way of unfaithfulness. Cause these ungodly desires to not be fulfilled. May they return to a covenant relationship first and foremost with you, God, and secondly to the covenant relationship that You have ordained from the foundations of the earth. I pray for grace, patience and peace to guard my heart as I wait on You Lord to bring this prayer to fulfillment. I pray that You would send away all these ungodly desires. May _______ lose the desire to go that way, reveal to her/him that this way is destruction and against your will. Give him/her dreams and visions to see that the end is of no good. I pray that You will season my speech with grace so that I will know what to say and when to say it. I pray that you will cleanse my heart and root out any seed of bitterness. Give me grace to forgive. Put a guard over my mouth and show me how I can accommodate the reconciliation and restoration of this covenant relationship. If I have any responsibility in driving ______ away from you God and from this covenant relationship, please reveal it to me. Forgive me God and prepare me for their return. Guide them and me with your Holy Spirit, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Would you please be so kind as to pray for my now ex-husband Ed and I. We were high school sweethearts and have been together for 32 years we were married what would have been 26 years this past February. his divorce was finalized October 24th and he is now with another woman and engaged to her to be married sometime spring 2018. In my eyes in God’s eyes and in the eyes of the church I am still married to him because I took a covenant and promised death do us part what God joined together let no man or woman separate. I still love him very much and I would so much love to have him back. I know it will take some healing strength and wisdom from the Lord but I am willing to help and willing to be here for Ed to show up even if he is broken and needs my help… that’s the For Better or For Worse sickness and in health Part….. please pray the hedge of thorns around Ed and let him seek help from the Lord find his way back to God, May the Holy Spirit come down upon him, convict him, pierce his heart and make his Heart of Stone turn back to Flesh again. Please let him fall rock bottom & look to the Lord for help. Put me in his path everyday every way even in his subconscious and while he sleeps. Let the relationship he is trying to have with this other woman end and pray, they do not marry. Let him come back to his first wife,ME…..and his children who love and want him back very much.
That’s pretty much the gist of what’s going on you can pray however you want to pray for Ed & I and the kids….. to be a family unit of five again and for him to never look or step out of the relationship again.

Pray that Tim will turn from the dark influence that is causing him to be dissatisfied with me and our marriage and that he will return to God. I know only when he welcomes the influence of the Holy Spirit will he see the truth of God’a will for our marriage. Pray that once this hedge of thorns is built around Tim that he will allow God to change his heart and he will again see the positive in our relationship and the importance of fulfilling the promise he made to me, our children and first and foremost to God.
