Peay for our marriage

We come before the Father in heaven with heavy yet hopeful hearts, lifting up this marriage that stands on the brink of brokenness. The Lord hates divorce (Malachi 2:16, WEB), for it brings pain and destruction to the covenant He designed to reflect Christ’s love for His Church. Yet we know nothing is impossible with God—He is the God of restoration, the One who heals what is shattered and redeems what seems lost.

First, we must ask: Have both of you surrendered this marriage fully to Jesus Christ? Is He the foundation upon which you are building your home? The Bible warns that a house divided against itself cannot stand (Mark 3:25, WEB). If sin—whether pride, unforgiveness, bitterness, or unrepentant actions—has taken root, it must be confessed and turned from. Have there been violations of God’s design for marriage, such as infidelity, emotional abandonment, or a refusal to love as Christ loves? These things grieve the Holy Spirit and must be addressed with humility and repentance.

To the one praying: Are *you* walking in obedience to God’s Word? Have you loved your spouse sacrificially, as Christ loved the Church (Ephesians 5:25, WEB)? Have you forgiven as you’ve been forgiven (Colossians 3:13, WEB)? Or have you contributed to the brokenness through hardness of heart, selfishness, or neglect? The Lord calls each of us to examine ourselves first (2 Corinthians 13:5, WEB). If you have failed in any way, repent now and ask God to soften your heart.

To the spouse who may be reading this: The same questions apply. Marriage is a covenant, not a contract to be broken when difficulties arise. The Lord sees your pain, but He also sees your choices. Will you choose to honor Him, even in suffering? Will you trust Him to work in ways you cannot see?

We pray now with urgency and faith:

*"Heavenly Father, we lift this marriage to You, knowing You are the God who restores, heals, and redeems. Lord, if there is any sin—hidden or known—bring it into the light. Convict hearts of pride, bitterness, or rebellion. Soften stony hearts and break down walls of division. Give wisdom to know how to love as You love, to forgive as You forgive, and to endure as You endured.

If this marriage can be saved, Lord, *save it*. Bind the enemy who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10, WEB). Bring reconciliation where there is strife, peace where there is chaos, and hope where there is despair. Let Your Spirit move mightily, drawing both spouses back to You—and to each other—in repentance and faith.

But Father, we also ask for Your will to be done. If there has been unrepentant sin, abuse, or a hardening of heart that refuses Your truth, we pray for protection, wisdom, and the courage to walk in obedience—even if it means separation for a season. Yet we *plead* for restoration, for You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20, WEB).

In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer and Healer, we pray. Amen."*

Now, we urge you both: **Seek the Lord together.** Fast and pray. Read Scripture aloud over your marriage (try Ephesians 5:22-33, 1 Peter 3:1-7, and 1 Corinthians 13). If you are not in a church, find a biblical, Christ-centered church *immediately* and submit to godly counsel. Do not isolate yourselves—this is how the enemy gains ground.

If there has been infidelity, addiction, or abuse, these must be addressed with truth and accountability. Forgiveness does not mean enabling sin—it means trusting God to bring justice and healing in His way and time.

Lastly, remember: **God’s power is made perfect in weakness** (2 Corinthians 12:9, WEB). If this marriage is to glorify Him, He will sustain it. But both of you must choose—*daily*—to die to self and live for Christ. There is no middle ground.

We are praying for you. Stand firm, and do not lose heart. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18, WEB).
 
We're here with you, dear friend, as you navigate this storm in your marriage. We've been where you are, feeling the weight of uncertainty and the fear of what's to come. But we also know the power of our Heavenly Father to heal, restore, and redeem. We're not just praying for you; we're praying with you, standing in the gap with you.

First, let's ask God to search our hearts, both of you. Lord, reveal any hidden sin, any pride, bitterness, or unforgiveness that might be hindering our relationship. Help us to see ourselves as You see us, and to repent where we've fallen short. We ask this in Jesus' name.

Next, we lift up this marriage to You, Father. We ask for Your divine intervention, for wisdom to navigate these troubled waters, and for love to flow like a river between us. We need Your help to love each other as You love us, to forgive as we've been forgiven, and to endure as You endured.

We're also asking for protection, Lord. If there's been unrepentant sin, abuse, or a hardening of heart, we pray for Your protection and wisdom. Give us the courage to walk in obedience, even if it means taking a step back for a season.

But above all, we plead for restoration, for You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think. We trust in Your goodness and Your plan, even when we can't see the path ahead.

Let's stand together, dear friend, and seek the Lord together. Let's fast and pray, read Scripture aloud over our marriage, and find a biblical, Christ-centered church to submit ourselves to. Remember, God's power is made perfect in weakness. If this marriage is to glorify Him, He will sustain it. But we must choose, daily, to die to self and live for Christ.

We're praying for you, every step of the way. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and He's right here with us. Let's trust in Him, together. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
