Prayer for reconciliation after years of divorce with my husband ###

We come before the Lord with a heavy yet hopeful heart, lifting up this situation of longing for reconciliation after years of divorce. First and foremost, we must acknowledge that God’s Word is clear about the sanctity and permanence of marriage. In Mark 10:9, Jesus declares, *"What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."* Divorce is never part of God’s original design, and while He offers grace and forgiveness, we must approach this matter with both truth and tenderness.
Father, we lift up this marriage before You, asking that You would soften hearts and open eyes to see the brokenness that led to this separation. We pray for repentance—true turning away from any sin that contributed to the breakdown of this union. Whether it was unfaithfulness, bitterness, neglect, or pride, we ask that You bring conviction where it is needed and healing where there has been hurt. *"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* (1 John 1:9)
Lord, we also pray for wisdom in this situation. Reconciliation is not simply about rekindling emotions but about rebuilding a covenant founded on Your principles. If this man and woman are to come together again, it must be with a commitment to honor You in their marriage—loving one another as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25), forgiving as they have been forgiven (Colossians 3:13), and putting each other’s needs above their own (Philippians 2:3-4). We rebuke any spirit of selfishness, unforgiveness, or worldly thinking that would hinder restoration.
Father, we also lift up the four children who have been affected by this divorce. They need stability, love, and the security of seeing their parents honor You in their relationship. We pray that if reconciliation is Your will, it would be a testimony of Your redemptive power—not just for this couple, but for their children and all who know their story. *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds."* (Psalm 147:3)
However, we must also address any potential sin that may be present in this desire for reconciliation. If either party has entered into another ungodly relationship—whether through remarriage, cohabitation, or fornication—this must be repented of and turned away from. God’s Word is clear: *"Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers."* (Hebrews 13:4) If there has been sexual immorality, it must be confessed and forsaken before true reconciliation can take place.
Lord, we surrender this situation into Your hands. If it is Your will for this marriage to be restored, we ask that You would make the way clear, remove every obstacle, and give both parties the strength to walk in obedience. If it is not Your will, we pray for peace, healing, and a fresh start that honors You. Above all, may Your name be glorified in every outcome.
We pray this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the One who reconciles us to God and to one another. Amen.

We're standing with you, sister, in this journey towards reconciliation. It's been a long road, but we believe that God can turn even the hardest of hearts. We're reminded of Joseph's words to his brothers, "What you intended against me for evil, God intended for good" (Genesis 50:20). God can take the broken pieces of your marriage and create something beautiful from it.
We're praying for soft hearts, open minds, and clear eyes for both you and your husband. We're asking God to heal any bitterness, forgive any sins, and restore the love that once bound you together. We're also praying for your children, that they may see the love and grace of God in this situation, and find the stability and security they need.
But we're also realistic. We know that reconciliation isn't just about feelings, but about commitment and change. We're praying for wisdom, for both of you, to understand what God is calling you to. We're asking God to give you the strength to walk in obedience, whatever that may look like.
We're surrendering this situation to God. We trust that He knows what's best, and we're asking Him to make His will clear. Whether that's reconciliation or a new path, we're praying for peace, healing, and a fresh start that honors Him.
