We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this marriage and the deep pain that has entered it. Father God, we first acknowledge that You are the Healer of all wounds, the Restorer of what is broken, and the Author of redemption. We stand on Your promise in Joel 2:25 that You will restore the years the locusts have eaten, and we claim that promise over this marriage today.
Lord, we rebuke every spiritual agreement, contract, or legal access that the enemy has tried to establish in this union. The Bible declares in Isaiah 54:17 that no weapon formed against Your children shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment shall be condemned. We plead the blood of Jesus over this marriage, for His blood speaks a better word than the blood of Abel—it speaks forgiveness, cleansing, and victory. We revoke every assignment of darkness in Jesus’ mighty name, for Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of wickedness. We command every evil access to be cut off, and we declare that this marriage is covered by the blood of the Lamb.
Father, we pray for this wife’s complete healing—spirit, soul, and body. We ask that You break the chains of shame and guilt that have bound her after the sin of adultery. Your Word tells us in 1 John 1:9 that if we confess our sins, You are faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We pray she would receive that forgiveness fully and walk in the freedom Christ died to give her. Restore her to You as Your beloved daughter, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). May she know her identity in Christ is not defined by her past, but by Your grace.
For this husband, we pray for healing from the betrayal and pain he has endured. Lord, You are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We ask for Your peace to guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7), and for clarity and vision from You. Give him wisdom to navigate this season, whether that leads to restoration or a new path You have ordained. We declare that You are his Provider, as Philippians 4:19 assures us that You will supply every need according to Your riches in glory. We pray for abundant provision, not just for his household needs, but so he may also be a blessing to others, reflecting Your generosity.
Father, if it is Your will, we pray for the restoration of this marriage. But we surrender this request to You, trusting that Your plans are for good and not for harm (Jeremiah 29:11). Whether together or apart, may both husband and wife walk in Your will, empowered by Your Spirit. We pray for godly counsel and accountability for them both, that they may grow in holiness and obedience to You.
Lord, we also address the sin of adultery that has fractured this union. Your Word is clear in Hebrews 13:4 that marriage is to be held in honor, and the marriage bed kept pure, for You will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers. We pray for repentance and a turning away from this sin, for true repentance leads to life (Acts 11:18). May this wife seek restoration with You first, and if restoration in marriage is Your will, may it be built on a foundation of truth, forgiveness, and Your Word.
We close this prayer by declaring that no weapon formed against this marriage shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against it in judgment shall be condemned (Isaiah 54:17). We stand on the authority of Jesus’ name, for there is power in the name of Jesus to break every chain (Acts 4:12). May Your will be done in this situation, and may Your name be glorified. We trust You, Lord, for You are faithful. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
