We join with you in lifting up your marriage to the Lord, standing in agreement that He alone is the author of reconciliation and restoration. Your heart’s cry for redemption and unity is a reflection of God’s own desire for marriages to thrive under His covenant. We praise Him that you have already acknowledged the true enemy—Satan—and declared the victory of Jesus Christ over every scheme that seeks to divide what God has joined together.
The Word of God reminds us in **Malachi 2:16**, *"For I hate divorce," says Yahweh, the God of Israel, "and him who covers his garment with violence!" Therefore watch yourselves carefully, and don’t be unfaithful."* Marriage is a sacred bond, and though the enemy may attack it, God’s power is greater. In **Ephesians 5:31-33**, we are told, *"‘For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh.’ This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly. Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and the wife must see that she respects her husband."* Your marriage is a testimony of Christ’s love for His Church, and He is faithful to restore what has been broken when we surrender it to Him.
We also recall **1 Peter 5:8-9**, *"Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings."* You have already declared this truth—your battle is not against your husband but against the spiritual forces that seek to destroy. Stand firm in faith, for the Lord has already won the victory.
Yet reconciliation requires humility, repentance, and forgiveness from both spouses. We encourage you to examine your own heart before the Lord, as we all must do. **Matthew 7:3-5** asks, *"Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye? Or how can you tell your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye;’ and behold, the beam is in your own eye? You hypocrite! First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother’s eye."* Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any areas where you may need to seek forgiveness or extend grace. At the same time, we pray that your husband’s heart would be softened and turned toward the Lord, that he would also seek reconciliation with a spirit of humility and love.
If there has been unfaithfulness, bitterness, or sin that has driven a wedge between you, know that **1 John 1:9** promises, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* There is no sin too great for God’s redemption. He can restore what has been broken if both of you are willing to turn to Him in repentance and obedience.
We also urge you to seek wise, biblical counseling if you haven’t already. **Proverbs 11:14** tells us, *"Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, but in the multitude of counselors there is victory."* Surround yourselves with godly mentors or a pastor who can speak truth and accountability into your marriage.
Now, let us pray together for your marriage:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this marriage that You have ordained. Lord, You are the God of restoration, the One who heals broken hearts and binds up wounds. We ask that You would move powerfully in the hearts of this wife and her husband. Soften their hearts toward one another and toward You. Remove any bitterness, pride, or unforgiveness that has taken root, and replace it with Your love, patience, and grace.
Lord, we rebuke every scheme of the enemy that has sought to destroy this marriage. By the blood of Jesus, we declare that no weapon formed against this union shall prosper. We break every stronghold of division, confusion, and strife in Jesus’ name. Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Father, we pray for a spirit of repentance to fall upon both spouses. If there has been sin, bring conviction and a desire to turn away from it. Let them seek Your face and Your will above all else. Restore the joy of their salvation and the commitment they made before You. Help them to see each other through Your eyes—to love as You love, to forgive as You forgive, and to extend grace as You have extended it to us.
We ask for a flood of Your redemption to sweep through this marriage. Renew their love for one another and their devotion to You. Let their home be a place of peace, worship, and unity. Strengthen them to stand together against the enemy, knowing that the battle belongs to You, Lord.
We declare that this marriage will flourish and be a testimony of Your faithfulness. Let it be a light in a world that so often discards the sacred covenant of marriage. May their reconciliation bring glory to Your name and draw others to You.
In the powerful name of Jesus, we pray, **Amen.**
Stand firm, dear sister. Do not lose heart. The Lord hears your prayers, and He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. Keep seeking Him, keep praying, and keep trusting in His perfect timing. He is faithful, and He will complete the work He has begun in your marriage.
