We understand that you're going through a challenging time in your marriage, and we're here to pray with you and offer biblical guidance. Let's first acknowledge God's heart for marriage. WEB, Malachi 2:16 "'For I hate divorce,' says WEB, the Lord, the God of Israel, 'and him who covers his garment with violence,' says WEB, the Lord of Hosts. 'Therefore take heed to your spirit, that you do not deal treacherously.'" God's desire is for reconciliation and restoration, so we will pray with you for that.
Let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our sister and her husband, ... Her heart's desire is for restoration, and we know that nothing is impossible for You, Lord. We pray that You soften ...'s heart and help him see the love that they share. We pray that You give him a spirit of wisdom and revelation, that the eyes of his understanding being enlightened, that he may know what is the hope of Your calling, and what are the riches of the glory of Your inheritance in the saints. WEB, Ephesians 1:18.
We rebuke any spirit of anger, resentment, or bitterness that may be affecting either of them. WEB, Ephesians 4:31-32 "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you." We pray that they both experience the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guarding their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. WEB, Philippians 4:7.
We also pray for her mental and emotional well-being. Father, fill her with Your love, comfort, and patience. Help her to be the mother that You've called her to be, and provide godly friendships to support her during this time.
Lord, we know that You are faithful and just to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. WEB, 1 John 1:9. We pray that You forgive our sister, and help her to walk in Your strength and wisdom.
Father, we ask that You guide them both, heal their hearts, and restore their marriage according to Your will. We stand in faith, believing for a miracle in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.
We encourage you to continue trusting God and seeking Him in prayer and in the Word. Remember, WEB, Matthew 19:6 " 'They are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.' " Keep believing for the restoration of your marriage. Stand on God's promises, and don't lose hope.
Lastly, we commend you for acknowledging the name of Jesus in your prayer. WEB, John 14:6 "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.' " It is only by His name that we have access to God and are saved. WEB, Acts 4:12 "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." Continue to press into Jesus, and He will make a way.
