Prayer For Hurting Wife
Father,
You are perfectly patient with us, beyond our understanding. Though we wake up each day with good intentions to follow you wholly and perfectly, the reality of our days is filled with repetitive sin. Even so, you made a way for us to be forgiven, and have never loved us less because of our shortcomings. Father, help us to learn to be patient with our spouses. Let our marriages be full of patience, instead of pride. Help us to see each other through Your eyes: imperfect, but fully loved.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen.
Father,
You call us to serve each other and serve you together in marriage. Forgive us, for all of the times we have made marriage about ourselves and our happiness. Marriage is purposed for so much more than just happy endings and picture-perfect lives. Motivate in us a spirit to serve each other with godly humility, especially when we don't feel like it. You have joined us to make a difference in this world in your honor. Re-focus us, Father. Help us to serve each other better, and to serve you, together, better.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen.
Father,
You alone are mighty to save. Our marriage is hurting, because we lack humility. Instead of seeking peace together, our feet are firmly planted on opposite sides of important issues. Help us to humble ourselves, considering our spouses' point of view. Inspire in us a desire to see from their perspective, in order to have compassion on them. Let your truth reign champion in all of our disagreements. Stop us before we say hurtful words that cannot be taken back, and move us towards mutual understanding and peace. Father, so many of our arguments spring from a lack of humility, help us to better understand what it means to be humble.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen.
Father,
We humbly come before you to ask about love. How do we bear with one another in love? When we can barely stand the sight of each other, and our patience is dwindling, how can we practice humility, gentleness, and unity? Teach us the truths of Ephesians 4:2-3. Breath a fresh take on this truth into our marriage, and help us to embrace it in hard and frustrating moments.
Father, we don't want superficial marriages that pretend to have these godly elements. We want to live them out daily, whether it looks messy and unglued or pretty and put together. Thank you for bringing us together in marriage to learn more about love and serve you together. Show us what it means to be patient, humble, and gentle with each other. Help us to focus on the good in each other, and the good we can do together. Remind us of the all-surpassing peace we possess as followers of Christ, and that what you have joined together no-one is powerful enough to break a part. Bless and strengthen our knowledge and love of you and appreciation for each other.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen.
Nothing else matters than to remain in your presence. Quiet my heart, Lord Jesus. Mold me, build me and let me grow in your presence to be a better person for you Lord, for my family and for the saints. Bring forth a testimony from this situation and make my story be a source of encouragement to those around in Jesus name.
Father, breathe your peace over my life, my home, my all. Settle me on every side. Over power and over turn all the lies of the enemy. Let the handwriting of pain, hurt and bitterness over my marriage, my home, my life be blotted out by the blood of Jesus. Every crack in my marriage, home and life be sealed up right now by the Blood of Jesus. Let your mercy triumph over all accusations of the enemy in Jesus name.
. Lord my husband's heart is in your hand. I pray for his choices, his decisions and his temperament. Meet him in all areas where he needs you. Make him the man after your heart and make him a godly man who cares for his home, his family, and for me his wife. Turn his heart in my favor.
Dear Lord, my soul is weary and tired. I have been carrying this burden for too long. I lay it down at your feet. It is too much of a weight to bear. Father, I lay it all down. Lord, you formed me, you know my
frame, my thoughts my weakness and you know every bit of my story, my fears, my past and my worries. Dear Jesus, my heart feels like it is dashed in many pieces, right now Words may not describe how hurt I am or how
I feel. But I am in desperate need for you, Jesus, make me whole again.
