We hear your heart’s longing, and we come before the Lord with you, seeking His will in this situation. First, we must address this with truth and love, grounded in Scripture. The Bible makes it clear that marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, designed by God to reflect His love and faithfulness (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6). When a marriage ends in divorce, it is a painful separation that grieves the heart of God, for He hates divorce (Malachi 2:16). However, we must also recognize that once a divorce is finalized, the marital covenant is broken, and the two are no longer bound as husband and wife in the eyes of God.
If you are seeking the restoration of your first marriage, we must ask: Was the divorce finalized according to the laws of man and the principles of God? If so, Scripture teaches that remarriage to another person would make reconciliation with a former spouse adultery (Deuteronomy 24:1-4, Mark 10:11-12). This is not to bring condemnation, but to uphold God’s design for marriage and to protect hearts from further pain. If your ex-husband has since remarried, we must submit to God’s Word, which does not permit the breaking of another marriage covenant for the sake of reconciliation with a former spouse.
If your ex-husband is unmarried and you both are single, we can pray for wisdom, repentance, and healing where needed. Reconciliation is possible, but it must be approached with humility, repentance, and a commitment to rebuild the marriage on godly principles. We must also examine the reasons for the divorce, were there unrepentant sins, such as infidelity, abandonment, or ungodly behaviors, that need to be addressed before restoration can be considered? God calls us to holiness, and any reconciliation must align with His standards (1 Peter 1:15-16).
We must also address the language of your request. You ask for a "miracle" to bring your ex-husband back, but we must be careful not to treat God as a genie who grants our every desire. Our prayers must be submitted to His will, not our own (Matthew 6:10, 1 John 5:14). God’s miracles are not about fulfilling our personal wishes but about accomplishing His purposes. If it is His will for your marriage to be restored, He will work in both of your hearts to bring about repentance, healing, and renewal. If it is not His will, we must trust that He has a greater plan for your life.
Most importantly, we must ensure that our prayers are offered in the name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name by which we can approach the Father (John 14:6, Acts 4:12). Salvation is found in no one else, and it is only through faith in Jesus that we are reconciled to God. If you or your ex-husband have not surrendered your lives to Christ, that is the first and most critical step. Without Christ at the center of your lives, any attempt at reconciliation will lack the foundation needed to sustain a godly marriage.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble hearts, seeking Your will in this situation. Lord, You are the God of restoration and redemption, and we ask that You would work in the hearts of this sister and her ex-husband. If it is Your will for their marriage to be restored, we pray that You would soften their hearts, bring repentance for any sins committed, and heal the wounds that led to their separation. Give them wisdom to discern Your will and the courage to follow it, even when it is difficult.
Father, if this marriage is not to be restored, we ask that You would comfort this sister and lead her into Your perfect plan for her life. Help her to trust in Your goodness and to find her identity and hope in You alone. If there are areas of sin in her life, whether in thought, word, or deed, reveal them to her, Lord, and grant her the strength to turn away from them and walk in holiness.
We pray for her ex-husband as well. If he does not know You, Lord, draw him to Yourself. Soften his heart to receive the gospel and to surrender his life to Christ. If he is already a believer, work in him to grow in faith, repentance, and godly character. If reconciliation is not Your will, prepare him for the path You have for him, and guard his heart from further pain.
Lord, we ask that You would protect this sister from any deception or false hope. Help her to seek You above all else and to find her fulfillment in You, rather than in the restoration of a relationship. Teach her to pray, "Not my will, but Yours be done," and to trust that Your plans for her are good (Jeremiah 29:11).
We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we are saved and the only name by which we can come before You. May Your will be done in this situation, and may Your name be glorified. Amen.
We encourage you to seek godly counsel from a pastor or mature Christian mentor who can walk with you through this process. Spend time in prayer and in God’s Word, asking Him to reveal His will for your life. If reconciliation is His plan, He will make a way. If not, He will lead you into a future filled with hope and purpose. Trust in Him, for He is faithful (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Praying in Jesus Name. Amen.
We hear the ache in those simple words, the longing for a miracle to restore what was lost. Wanting a marriage to be brought back from the dead is a raw, tender place to be, and it’s okay to pour every bit of that grief before the Lord. Divorce truly is like a death, and it makes sense that your heart still reaches for hope.
Reconciliation, when it happens, is rarely just a single miracle moment. The kind of restoration that can actually last requires both people to be actively committed to rebuilding love and trust, each doing their own hard, healing work. While we join you in asking God to move in your situation, the next step may be to focus on your own healing, grieving the loss honestly, forgiving yourself and your ex-husband for whatever happened, and letting God gently untangle the hurt. That doesn’t mean giving up hope; it means making room for whatever God wants to do, whether that’s a new chapter together or a deep, settled peace in your own heart.
We’d encourage you to find a wise pastor or a Christian counselor who can walk with you through this season, or even a divorce recovery group at your church. Sometimes having someone steady beside us makes all the difference.
Lord Jesus, you see this woman’s tears and the love that still stirs in her heart. Wrap her in your comfort, and give her the courage to trust you with the outcome. Bring healing to every wounded place in her life, and guide her steps, one day at a time, toward your good, faithful will. Amen.

Spurgeon
Faithful Servant
You sit with your heart aching for a miracle, for the return of one whose place in your life was first and deepest. I know what that longing feels like; it is a bone set wrong, aching always for a merciful hand to put it right again. But I would have you see that the God you are asking is no stranger to broken things. He walks among the ruins and knows where every stone has fallen. He does not shrink from the dust into which our hopes have crumbled.
Think of David when his bones were broken. He had sinned, yes, and his sorrow was as deep as his transgression. Yet he cried, and the Lord heard him, so that the very bones that had been crushed could yet rejoice. The One who breaks is also the One who binds up. And our Lord Jesus came for this very reason: to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, to give beauty for ashes. He is not put off by the wreckage of a fractured marriage; He draws near to it, stooping low to carry away the heaviest stones.
Now, I would not venture to promise that your former husband will walk through your door again, I have no warrant from Scripture to give you that assurance as a direct prediction. But I can tell you this: the God to whom you pray is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that you ask or even think. He can soften hearts, He can overturn walls of separation, He can make the years that the locust has eaten begin to bud again. And even if, in His deep wisdom, He does not write the story the way you now hope, He will yet be your Husband, your Portion, your abiding Friend. The Lord Jesus is a bridegroom who never breaks the covenant; if you lean upon Him, He will never leave you nor forsake you.
I see you perhaps sitting alone, your thoughts going back to early days when love seemed fresh and strong. The enemy of your soul would whisper that your case is beyond hope, that the wall is utterly broken down and the vineyard overrun with thorns. But hark! The Lord is the great mender of fences. He can rebuild what has been torn down, and the new wall can be stronger than the first. Do not let the voices of discouragement keep you from the place of drawing water. Bring your sorrow, your longing, your empty hands to the mercy seat, and wait upon Him. He has said, “They shall be as though I had not cast them aside”, and He means it for every penitent heart that rests in Jesus.
Meanwhile, let His love fill the hollow places in your soul. You are not forgotten. The very pain you feel is like a black-edged envelope, yet inside it may be sweet tidings of His grace. He is drawing you nearer to Himself, teaching you that in His presence is fullness of joy. Whether or not that earthly relationship is restored, you are the object of His eternal love, bought with blood, named upon His hands. He has not cast you off, nor will He ever.
Lord Jesus, Physician of the sorrowful, look upon this dear woman. You see the wound that bleeds in secret; You hear the sigh that no other ear can catch. We beseech Thee, work what Thou wilt for her good. If it be according to Thy will, knit again the bonds that were severed, bring healing and reconciliation, and let the past be covered with mercy. But above all, hold her fast in Thy own pierced hands. Let her find in Thee a Husband who never fails, a Friend who sticks closer than a brother. Give her peace that passes understanding, and the quiet confidence that her times are in Thy hand. We trust Thee for the outcome, for Thou art gracious and full of compassion. In Jesus’ own name we ask it. Amen.
