We lift up this marriage before the Lord, recognizing that He is the author of covenant love and the One who sustains husbands and wives in every season. Though names are not shared, we know God sees and knows each heart intimately. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but we stand firm in the truth that Christ has already overcome the world (John 16:33). Depression and anxiety are not from the Lord, but He can redeem even these struggles for His glory when we surrender them to Him.
To the one feeling depressed, we gently remind you that God’s Word declares you are *fearfully and wonderfully made* (Psalm 139:14), and His plans for you are for *welfare and not for calamity* (Jeremiah 29:11). The Lord is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18), and He invites you to cast *all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you* (1 Peter 5:7). Do not isolate yourself—reach out to your spouse, to trusted believers, and most importantly, to Jesus. If this depression lingers, seek godly counsel and medical wisdom, for our bodies and minds are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). There is no shame in seeking help; it is an act of stewardship over the life God has given you.
To the spouse carrying worry, we urge you to trust in the Lord with all your heart and *lean not on your own understanding* (Proverbs 3:5-6). Worry does not add a single hour to life (Matthew 6:27), but prayer releases God’s peace that *surpasses all understanding* (Philippians 4:6-7). Your role is to love, support, and pray—not to fix or control. Speak life over your spouse, reminding them of God’s promises, and cover them in prayer. Let your marriage be a refuge, not a place of added pressure.
Now, we must address something critical: the use of symbols instead of names and the absence of invoking the name of Jesus in this request. There is *no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved* (Acts 4:12), and it is *in Jesus’ name* that we approach the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). When we pray, we come boldly *through Christ*, not through vague symbols or unnamed petitions. The power of prayer is not in secrecy but in the authority of Jesus’ name. If there is hesitation to speak names or to call upon Jesus, we urge you to examine why. Is there shame, unconfessed sin, or a lack of faith in His power? The Bible says, *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). Bring everything into the light—your struggles, your marriage, and your prayers—because *God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all* (1 John 1:5).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this marriage and these two precious souls. Lord, You see the heaviness of heart, the depression that weighs down, and the worry that seeks to choke out peace. We rebuke the spirit of despair and declare that *joy comes in the morning* (Psalm 30:5). Fill this home with Your presence, Lord, and let Your peace, which transcends all understanding, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
For the one struggling with depression, we ask You to lift the burden and replace it with Your hope. Remind them that they are not defined by their feelings but by Your truth—that they are *chosen, royal, holy, and dearly loved* (1 Peter 2:9, Colossians 3:12). Break the lies of the enemy and let Your Word be a lamp to their feet. If there is any unconfessed sin, any bitterness, or any stronghold, we ask You to bring it to light so it can be surrendered to You. Restore their strength like the eagle’s (Isaiah 40:31) and let them find their identity in You alone.
For the spouse carrying worry, we ask You to replace anxiety with trust. Teach them to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17) and to release control into Your hands. Let them be a vessel of Your love, patience, and encouragement. Bind them together in unity, Lord, and let their marriage be a testament to Your faithfulness.
We also pray that this couple would seek You *first*—individually and together. Let them prioritize time in Your Word, in prayer, and in fellowship with believers. If they have drifted from You, draw them back, Lord. If there is any sin separating them from You—whether unforgiveness, pride, or compromise—convict them and lead them to repentance.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would protect this marriage from the schemes of the enemy. Let them stand firm against division, temptation, and discouragement. May they *submit to one another out of reverence for Christ* (Ephesians 5:21) and love each other as You have loved them—sacrificially, patiently, and selflessly.
We declare that *no weapon formed against this marriage shall prosper* (Isaiah 54:17) and that You, Lord, will complete the good work You have started in them (Philippians 1:6). Let them walk in victory, in faith, and in the fullness of Your promises.
In the powerful and holy name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
To the ones praying this request: We encourage you to speak your names and your needs openly before the Lord. There is power in specificity and in calling upon Jesus by name. If you have not yet surrendered your lives fully to Christ, we urge you to do so today. *If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved* (Romans 10:9). There is no greater foundation for marriage than two hearts submitted to Christ.
Stand firm, seek Him together, and trust that He who began this work in you will be faithful to complete it. You are not alone—God is with you, and so are we in prayer.

We want to thank you for allowing us the sacred honor of lifting your marriage before the Lord these past few days. It has been our privilege to stand with you in agreement, praying for God’s healing touch on **’s** heart—asking Him to replace depression with hope, anxiety with peace, and uncertainty with trust in His faithfulness. We’ve also been earnestly praying for unity between you and **, for God to restore joy in your relationship, and for both of you to experience His presence in fresh and powerful ways.

Please share a praise report so we can give Him the glory together! If the burden still feels heavy, though, we want you to know we’re not stepping back. Post your request again, and we will continue to intercede with you, believing that God is at work even when we can’t yet see it.

May He surround you with His peace as you keep seeking Him, clinging to the promise that He is near to the brokenhearted and faithful to complete the good work He has started in your marriage. We’re standing with you in faith.
