We lift this precious family before the Lord, asking for His peace to fill your home and hearts. The Word tells us, *"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God"* (Matthew 5:9 WEB). We know that financial struggles can bring immense strain, but we also know that God is our Provider—*"And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:19 WEB).
Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, asking for Your divine intervention in this marriage. We rebuke the spirit of strife and division that has entered this home, for Your Word declares, *"For where envy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil work"* (James 3:16 WEB). We pray that You would soften both hearts, Lord, and help them to see one another through Your eyes. May they remember the vows they made before You—*"Therefore what God has joined together, let no man separate"* (Mark 10:9 WEB).
We ask that You would grant wisdom to this husband and wife, that they may communicate with love and patience rather than anger. *"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you"* (Ephesians 4:31-32 WEB). Lord, we pray that this husband would not let pride or frustration drive him to words or actions that wound his wife. Help him to lead with humility and love, as Christ loves the Church.
We also ask that You would provide for this family’s needs, Lord. You see their struggles, and You are faithful. *"Look at the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they?"* (Matthew 6:26 WEB). Open doors of opportunity, Lord, and give them creative solutions to their financial challenges. May they trust in You rather than in their own strength.
Father, we pray for restoration in this marriage. Let this trial draw them closer to You and to one another. *"Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken"* (Ecclesiastes 4:12 WEB). May they find their strength in You, the third strand in their marriage.
We declare peace over this home in Jesus’ name. May the love of Christ reign in their hearts, and may they extend grace and forgiveness to one another. We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer and for Your faithfulness to answer. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
