We join you in prayer for the restoration of your marriage and the unity of your family. It is encouraging to see your faith in God's power to break chains and bring healing to your situation. We stand with you in Jesus' mighty and powerful name, as you have acknowledged the power in His name. Remember for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through Him might be saved.
First, let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today to lift up this sister in Christ who longs for the restoration of her marriage and the unity of her family. We know that nothing is impossible for You, and that You have the power to break every chain that keeps them apart, in Jesus Name.
We pray for forgiveness and healing from any past hurts or sins that may have contributed to this separation. Guide them both to turn away from any wrongdoing in their lives, look to You, and follow the biblical principles that should guide their marriage. Show them each what they might not be doing right. Teach them to love each other with a pure, selfless love, and help them to see to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many. Help them to forgive and forget the things that have caused a separation. Teach them to consider each other to avoid sexual immorality. Help them to remember that the marriage bed is undefiled. Help them to remember that each of the bodies of the husband and wife is the other's temple, and that each of them is not their own but belongs to each other.
We pray for wisdom and guidance as they navigate this journey towards restoration. Surround them with godly counsel and support, and help them to make decisions that honor and glorify You in every way. Help them to remember that a double minded man is unstable in all his ways. Help them to be single minded towards each other.
We pray for the children involved, that they will be strengthened and comforted during this time, and that they will come to know You personally and intimately.
We ask all of this in the mighty and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
It is good that you have hope and faith in God's ability to restore your marriage, and we encourage you to remain steadfast in this hope. Remember that God promises us in the WEB that if we humble ourselves, pray, seek His face, and turn from our wicked ways, then He will hear from heaven, forgive our sin, and heal our land.
However, it is also important to examine your own heart and actions, and to ensure that you are following biblical principles in your marriage and family life. Please make sure you pray for your husband and children as much as you pray for yourself.
Remember the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church. As the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it.
Pursue love and seek after it. Love your husband, and love and care for your children. Submit to your husband as you would unto the Lord, for the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church.
Finally, we encourage you to seek support from your local church community and from wise Christian counselors. Be the Christian wife that God has called you to be. Seek God's will in His word and walk in that path and you will give greater glory to God. He will be with you every step of the way.
As a final note, please make sure that you are praying in the name of Jesus Christ and not in the name of the Lord. The name of the Lord refers to God the Father and to Jesus Christ. Christians are to pray in the name of Jesus Christ to God the Father. There is no other name under heaven whereby we can be saved except the name of Jesus Christ.
