Hedge of Thorns Prayer for the Unfaithful Spouse

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 hedge of thorns prayershe 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.

  1. My wife Stephanie, she is everything I never knew I wanted in life and is most likely the only reason I’ve made it as far as I have. However, she has started a relationship with another man , doesn’t take care of any motherly duties (never mind wifely…), and just treats me bad regardless of everything I do and have done to be there for her over the years. It’s as though the devil himself is whispering to her directly…

    She’s my one shot at being happily married and so I want to do all that I can to save this for her and our 3 beautiful children. Please, anyone who reads this I’m begging you, please pray for the hedge of thorns for my wife that she may find her way back to me and our marriage. I miss her so desperately, as do our children…

    Thank you all and God bless you…

I made the difficult decision to walk away, but deep down i just want my husband to change and for our marriage to work if its in Gods will. My husband said while seperated he would prove to me he’s changed but shortly after he’s moved out is already in a relationship and have become very cold and making decisions that arent right when it comes to myself and our children while in this relstionship. The divorce isnt finish and im looking to God and asking for prayer to see if i should go to the court and stop the process and pray for change in myself as well as my husbands life that we can be a testimony of what God put together let no man put asunder. I never want to go through this again. I want complete change. I want to be able to forgive and love wholeheartedly again. Im asking God to speak to me and my husband concerning our marriage. Open our hearts, eyes and ears..remove those who have come between us. I want our marriage to work. I want to be an example to our children. I want our marriage to give hope to others who are going through the same thing or similar. Im trusting God on today that hr will direct our paths. Gods will be done concerning my life, my childrens life, my husband, and our marriage.
