Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up ### and their marriage to you. Lord, you are the author of marriage, and we believe that you have a perfect plan and purpose for every union. We ask that you pour out your grace, wisdom, and love upon ### and their spouse.
Father, we pray for unity and harmony in their marriage. May they always seek to honor and respect one another, just as your Word instructs us to do. Help them to communicate effectively, to listen with understanding, and to resolve conflicts in a peaceful and loving manner.
Lord, we ask for your guidance and direction in their relationship. Show them how to prioritize their marriage and invest time and effort into nurturing their bond. Help them to grow closer to each other and to you, building a strong foundation of love, trust, and commitment.
Father, we pray for any areas of brokenness or hurt within their marriage. Heal any wounds and restore any brokenness, bringing reconciliation and forgiveness. May your love flow through them, enabling them to extend grace and mercy to one another.
We also pray for protection over their marriage. Guard them against any temptations or influences that may seek to harm their relationship. Surround them with godly counsel and support, and help them to lean on you for strength and guidance.
Lord, we surrender this marriage into your hands, trusting that you are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. We believe that you are able to bring restoration, healing, and joy to ### and their spouse. May their marriage be a testimony of your faithfulness and love.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
