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. Please pray for my husband, Keith, that he turns from his selfish evil ways to a path of righteousness. I pray a hedge of thorns between my husband and his mistress, that he left me for, and that he no longer desires her in the name of Jesus. I pray that God intervenes in my husband’s life and breaks the stronghold that my husband’s mistress has over him. I pray that bond between my husband and this lady is permanently broken and cannot ever be restored. I pray that my husband finds his way back to God. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.

  6. Will you pray for my husband to return his ways back to God? He is an alcoholic which causes his insane jealous, manipulative, and controlling. We separated in September. He filed for divorce then retracted it. We began communicating and seeing each other; however, his family found out and and didn’t support it. We continued to see each other without his family knowing until a few weeks ago. He had begun chasing other women on FB. Lord I pray for these wedges to be removed. He is now going ahead with the initial hearing and I sent him pics of us telling him I love him and didn’t want him to give up on us, he blocked me from his phone and no longer communicating with me. We had been talking on the phone and seeing each other and things were fine. This happened out of nowhere. I pray that God bring him back to a full love for Him and a full love of restoring our marriage and a full love for me.

  7. My husband and I separated 2 years again, he filed for divorce and then refiled since the allotted time expired and no activity (court hearings. etc) took place bc i was never served.

I have been tirelessly praying and pleading God for reconciliation and will stand on God’s words for they are never void. I ask that you stand in the gap with me to bring him back home.

      The man is self destructive. I don’t know what to do. At this point, I just want a Divorce. He looked so miserable and depressed..that’s why I gave him a chance also so my kids will have Father. .

      1. Hi Maggy, very sorry to hear what you and your family are going through. The bible tells us that a double minded man is unstable in all of his ways. That means that when we make a request from God we have to stand in faith to see it done. We can’t waiver between 2 opinions. We are happy to pray for your husband but you need to decide if you want your marriage or not. God is Sovereign but man has free will and God won’t violate that. If you want a divorce we can’t pray for your marriage to be saved because that is going against your own free will. You need to decide what you want and pray accordingly. Blessings

  10. pray for the continuing stand for the restoration of my marriage, that God will bring my prodigal husband Joseph. back to his senses and surrender his life bact to Jesus and return home to his wife Christina.
