Prayer For Restoration Of Marriage And Family
Lord Jesus, Our marriage is crumbling. I come to You; before Your throne of grace, desperately seeking You., asking You for help and guidance and wisdom about what to do. We're stumbing and feel the hurdles are just too big. We keeping hearing the word, Divorce, We hear other voices, telling us to just give up that there's been too much water under the bridge that our marriage is too far gone to keep going on. But Lord, neither of us want to destroy our marriage. We don't want to break up our family or injure our children. You said that marriage is a covenant, til death do us part. You said that nothing is too difficult for you. I believe that Your will is for our marriage to be healed too.
But Lord, we've tried and done what we can, and have come to the place now where we don't know what to do. Lord, I ask you, that if there is a way, to please show us the way and what to do. I ask You to show us the next steps we need to take to restore our marriage. I ask you to deal with my heart, with any selfishness, apathy, or pride, or anything _____________ (my spouse's) heart. I ask You to reveal anything to us that we are not seeing for ourselves. I believe Lord that You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life. We've lost our way. We need Your way, Your Truth and Your life. We've lost our first love for each other. We need You. We need You to restore us; I ask You to restore us oh Lord and to help us find the way back to each other and to You again.
I ask You to renew in me and in boyh of us, us a willing spirit. Help me to not point fingers or respond defensively. Teach me how to listen to ______________ and to really hear. Lord, I realize that my actions, attitudes, and feelings and the things that have have happened between us that brought us to this place, didn't happen overnight. I realize that it will take time to undo things that I have done, that brought us to this place in our marriage. I ask You to show me what I need to do to make these things right between us. Help me to see what I need to see to change. I ask you to work in ______________ (my spouse's) heart and to help him/her do what You want him/her to do.
Lord, You promised to guide us in the way we should go. You are a wise Counselor, and You know exactly what we need. All our hopes and expectations are in You. If outside Christian counsel is necessary to lead us back and start over, please direct us to who truly can help. I trust that You are the answer, Lord. I believe and declare that divorce is not what we want. I ask that Your will be done in our lives and marriage. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
Compassionate Father, You said from the beginning of creation You made them male and female and it is for this reason, that a man shall leave his father and mother and shall cleave to this wife and the two shall become one flesh. We pray to You to strengthen our marital bond. Please help us keep the love alive, and the communication strong. Soften our hearts so they are open to each other. Impart on us the spirit of forgiveness, love and care one for another. We pray for Your help in standing against those things that come to hinder, wreck or devastate our marriage. We claim restoration in Jesus's name. Amen.
Abba, Father, the Highest God, there is none that compares to You. In my distress, I call out to You because my marriage is falling apart. Father, just as You stretched out Your hand against Judah and against the inhabitants of Jerusalem, please stretch out Your loving hand to restore my marriage. Please do not allow it to become empty and dead. Give it life, love and strength. Crush the plans of the Devil to tear apart what You have joined together. In Jesus's name. Amen.
Heavenly Father, I come before You to request that You bring restoration to the bond where You have joined us together as husband and wife. We pray against marriage breaking spirits and those negative forces that try to destroy marital intimacy between husband and wife. Please help our bond be undefiled, in Jesus's name. Keep us true to each other, and help us keep our holy matrimony honorable. We thank You for restoration, Amen.
Jesus, our Great Healer, please break the chord of destruction over my marriage, in Jesus's name. I pray against the spirit of strife, confusion and discord. Let the spirit of Jezebel be destroyed and let the blood of Jesus prevail over us. Let the spirit of tender-heartedness be released. Cast down the spirits of malice, hatred and unkindness. We put our marriage in Your hands, dear Jesus. In the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Amen.
Almighty God, help us to be strong in You. We know that we can do nothing by ourselves. We pray that You heal our marriage and restore our union with each other. We praise Your holy name because we are Your children and know that You are protecting us. We know You want what is best for us, and that You want our bond to be unbreakable. Crush every enemy, sin, Satan and worldly force who is trying to destroy our marital bond. Cast down these dividing spirits, in Jesus's name, because our marriage has been ordained by God as an example of unity according to the will and purpose of the Lord, our Creator. Amen.
Lord, our Savior, we thank You for this holy matrimony. We praise Your holy name that in this season of our spiritual warfare, You have been our rock and shield. Lord, teach us how to be patient in tribulation. Teach us how to hear You and follow Your guidance. Teach us how to treat each other as You would, dear Lord. Please make a way in the wilderness. We know and trust that with You all things are possible. You are God of impossibilities. We come to You and please for Your grace upon this marriage, dear Lord. In Jesus's name, Amen.
Dear Lord, Miracle Worker, I come to You in despair because my marriage right now is in a storm, with waves crashing around me at all sides. I am afraid that my marriage is going to be destroyed, and I need Your divine intervention to quiet the sea of my marriage. Lord, just as You told that wind to be still, please bring peace and understanding to my marriage. Cover us with understanding, love, and the spirit of reconciliation as we work toward repair the harm that has been done. Father, by faith, I pray that the wind will stop and there will be a great calm over our marriage, in Jesus's name. Amen.
