Save my marriage and bring ### home today

We hear the deep anguish in your heart as you cry out for the restoration of your marriage, and we join you in lifting this burden before the Lord. First, we must address the missing foundation—your prayer does not mention the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have access to the Father. There is no other name by which we can be saved or by which our prayers are heard. Jesus Himself said, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6). Salvation comes only by grace through faith in Him—believing that He died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). If you have not already, we urge you to repent of your sins, confess Jesus as Lord, and trust in Him alone for salvation. Without this, no prayer for restoration can be truly effective, for it is only by His blood that we are reconciled to God.
Now, regarding your marriage, we must first acknowledge that marriage is a sacred covenant, not just between a man and a woman, but before God Himself. The Lord hates divorce (Malachi 2:16), but He also calls us to live in holiness and repentance. You mention past wrongs—have you truly repented of them before God? Have you sought forgiveness not only from your wife but also from the Lord, who sees all? Confession and repentance are the first steps toward healing. *"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). Have you examined your heart to see if there are patterns of sin—pride, anger, neglect, or unfaithfulness—that contributed to the brokenness in your marriage? The Lord calls us to humble ourselves, turn from our wicked ways, and seek His face (2 Chronicles 7:14).
We also must address the matter of forgiveness—both your wife’s need to forgive you and your need to forgive her, if she has wronged you in any way. Unforgiveness is a heavy chain that binds the heart and hinders God’s work. Jesus taught, *"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses"* (Matthew 6:14-15). Have you released her fully to the Lord, trusting Him to work in her heart, even if she does not return? Restoration is in God’s hands, but we are called to walk in obedience, whether the outcome is what we desire or not.
We must also ask: Are you willing to change? Are you seeking the Lord’s will for your life moving forward, regardless of whether your wife returns? God may use this season to refine you, to teach you dependence on Him, and to prepare you for whatever He has next. *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight"* (Proverbs 3:5-6). Are you seeking godly counsel, spending time in prayer and Scripture, and surrounding yourself with believers who can support you in this trial?
Now, let us come before the Lord together in prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can approach Your throne. Lord, we lift up this brother and his marriage to You. You see the pain in his heart, the longing for restoration, and the weight of his past mistakes. Father, we ask that You would first draw him closer to Yourself. If he does not yet know You as Savior and Lord, we pray that he would repent, believe in the finished work of Christ, and be born again by Your Spirit. Cleanse him of all unrighteousness, Lord, and fill him with Your peace that surpasses understanding.
Father, we ask for Your mercy and grace to cover this marriage. You hate divorce, but You also hate the sin that so often leads to it. We pray that You would reveal to this brother any areas of his life that have not aligned with Your will—any unconfessed sin, any bitterness, any pride, or any failure to love his wife as Christ loved the church. Give him the strength to repent, to seek forgiveness, and to walk in humility. If his wife has also strayed from Your path, we pray that You would convict her heart and draw her back to You and to her husband, if it be Your will.
Lord, we ask for a miracle of reconciliation. Soften both of their hearts, Father. Break down the walls of hurt, anger, and resentment that may have built up between them. Help them to see one another through Your eyes, with grace and compassion. If it is Your will, bring his wife home today, not just to the house, but to a restored relationship rooted in You. But if restoration is not Your plan, give this brother the strength to accept Your will, to trust in Your goodness, and to walk in faith, knowing that You work all things together for good for those who love You (Romans 8:28).
Father, we rebuke the enemy’s lies that may be speaking to this brother—lies that he is unworthy of love, that his marriage is beyond repair, or that You have abandoned him. We declare that no weapon formed against him shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17) and that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). Strengthen him, Lord, and fill him with Your hope.
Finally, Father, we pray that this brother would commit to living the rest of his life in Your path, whether single or married. Teach him to love You above all else and to love his wife as himself, as You have commanded. May his marriage be a testimony to Your faithfulness, Your grace, and Your power to restore what was broken.
We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Brother, we encourage you to cling to the Lord in this season. Seek Him with all your heart, and do not grow weary in doing good (Galatians 6:9). Surround yourself with godly men who can pray with you, hold you accountable, and speak truth into your life. Spend time in God’s Word, allowing it to renew your mind and guide your steps. And remember, even if your wife does not return, God has not abandoned you. He is close to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18), and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).
If there are specific sins or struggles you have not yet addressed, we urge you to bring them into the light. Confess them to the Lord, and if possible, seek godly counsel to walk through them. The enemy thrives in darkness, but the light of Christ exposes and destroys his schemes. You are not alone in this battle. The Lord is your strength, your refuge, and your hope. Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths.

Dear brother, we're here with you, praying alongside you for your marriage. We've been moved by your heartfelt plea for restoration and we want you to know that we're interceding for you and your wife.
First, let's remember the power of forgiveness. Jesus said, "Forgive as the Lord forgave you" (Colossians 3:13). Have you fully forgiven your wife, just as you've asked her to forgive you? It's not about what she does or doesn't do, but about the freedom and healing that comes from letting go of bitterness and resentment. Remember, it's not about being right, but about being reconciled to God and to each other.
Second, let's trust in God's timing. He sees your pain, He hears your cries, and He's working in ways we may not understand. It's okay to ask for a miracle, but it's also okay to accept that the outcome might not be what we hope for. Trust that God knows what's best for you and your marriage.
Lastly, let's focus on what we can control. Are you seeking God's will for your life, no matter what happens? Are you growing in holiness, humility, and love? Are you surrounding yourself with godly friends who can support and encourage you?
Let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today, lifting up our brother and his marriage. We ask for Your mercy and grace to cover them. Help them to forgive as they've been forgiven. Give them the strength to trust in Your timing and Your will. Help them to focus on growing in You, no matter what happens. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
