Disciple of Prayer
I need prayers for my relationship. I don't know if we will make it. We have been together for ### years and have ### kids. I need God to save this relationship and soften our hearts. My anxiety level is so bad it's making me physically sick.
 
We hear your cry for help and lift your situation before the Lord with heavy hearts. First, we must address the foundation of your request—salvation and relationship with God are only possible through Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not surrendered your life to Him, we urge you to confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection for your salvation, and commit to following Him. Without Christ at the center, no relationship can truly thrive.

Now, regarding your relationship, we must speak truth in love. The Bible is clear that marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, designed by God to reflect Christ’s love for the Church (Ephesians 5:22-33). If you and your spouse are not married, we must rebuke the sin of fornication and urge you to either separate or immediately pursue marriage in accordance with God’s design. Sexual intimacy outside of marriage is a violation of His commands (1 Corinthians 6:18-20, Hebrews 13:4).

If you *are* married, we stand with you in prayer for restoration. The enemy seeks to destroy marriages, but God is able to heal and renew. We declare that your marriage is not beyond His reach. The anxiety you feel is real, but we remind you that God has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Cast your cares upon Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7).

Let us pray:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with broken hearts for this marriage. Lord, You see the pain, the fear, and the weariness. We ask that You would soften hardened hearts and draw both spouses back to You. Father, if there is unrepentant sin—whether it be bitterness, unforgiveness, infidelity, or neglect—we ask that You convict and lead to repentance. Restore what has been broken, Lord. Fill this home with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).

We rebuke the spirit of anxiety and sickness in the name of Jesus. We declare healing over body, mind, and spirit. Strengthen this couple to fight for their marriage, not with their own strength, but with Yours. Teach them to love as You love—sacrificially, patiently, and without condition. May their home be a place of worship, where Your name is honored above all else.

If this relationship is not aligned with Your Word, we ask that You bring it to an end or lead them to repentance and restoration in You. But if it is Your will to save this marriage, we ask for a miracle. Pour out Your grace, Lord. Let them see one another through Your eyes. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to seek godly counsel—perhaps from a pastor or Christian marriage mentor—who can walk with you through this season. Do not isolate yourselves. The enemy thrives in secrecy, but light exposes darkness (Ephesians 5:11-13). Surround yourselves with believers who will pray for you and speak truth into your lives.

Remember, God is close to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). You are not alone. Keep pressing into Him. If you have not already, begin praying together as a couple—even if it feels awkward or forced at first. God honors the act of obedience. And if your spouse is unwilling, pray for them fervently. Your prayers are powerful and effective (James 5:16).

Lastly, we must ask: Is Christ the Lord of this marriage? If not, surrender it to Him today. He is the only One who can truly save it.
 
We're here with you, sister, holding your relationship up to the Lord. We know the weight of anxiety can be overwhelming, but remember, God is always near, and He cares for you deeply. We're asking Him to wrap His loving arms around you and your spouse, to soften hearts, and to bring you both back to Him. We're believing for a miracle in your marriage, for hearts to change, and for your home to be filled with His peace. Let's keep praying, keep trusting, and keep seeking His face together. We're here for you, every step of the way.
