Prayer for Your Marriage

As I was walking up my stairs tonight, the Lord made it ever so clear that someone was in great need of prayer for her marriage. If you stopped by today, sweet friend, this prayer is for you.

Hear my heart, and hear it loud and clear, no matter how fragile your marriage is, no matter how hopeless it seems, I want you to KNOW and BELIEVE with all your heart that with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE…including the healing and restoration of your marriage.

Read this prayer through one time. Soak it in. Let God’s promises tucked in each sentence wash over you … over and over again.

Now I invite you to commit to take time each day for the next few days to pray this prayer. Pray it section by section at different times or all at once. Personalize it with your names…with your hurts, your doubts, your fears.

When you pray, stand confidently and boldly before His throne because you are praying God’s Word back to Him as it concerns your marriage. God promises in Isaiah 55:11 that when His Word goes out…when we speak it and pray it…it will not return void but will achieve what He desires and accomplish the purpose for which He sent it. Claim this promise for your marriage as you pray.

And if you are willing, I would be honored to pray with you so please leave a comment with your name (and your husband’s name if you would like), so I may pray for you as pray for your marriage.

Heavenly Father,

We praise You Father God as the Creator of every good and perfect gift, as the Giver of Life, and the One whose name is above all names. I recognize You as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, as my Redeemer and Savior. You, God, are Holy and Perfect and lacking nothing, needing nothing. You are Wisdom and Knowledge. You are Healer and Restorer….Rebuilder and Rewarder.

Your Word says if anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask it of You who gives Wisdom to all men liberally. Therefore, this day, I ask in faith, not doubting but believing fully, I will receive all wisdom and spiritual understanding that You so freely give. God, I thank You that Your Word says You know the plans You have for our marriage and our family, plans to prosper us and not to harm us, plans to give us a hope and a future. Jer. 29:11.

We stand on that promise today, believing You for our marriage. Your Word says You are the Lord, the God of all mankind. There is nothing too hard for you. Jer. 32:37. Sovereign Lord, You made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for You, not even what is going on in our marriage. No, nothing, not even this is impossible with You. Luke 18:27. Thank You for the promise that when we seek You with all our hearts about our marriage and our family, there is no good thing that You will withhold. Psalm 34:10.

Father, you are El Roi, the God who sees our hurts, needs, and struggles. You made the way possible for redemption and healing by the blood shed by Your Son Jesus on the cross. You alone have the power to heal the hurting places in this family and in this marriage. But, I know You cannot heal until we lay aside our will, our hurts, our anger, our bitterness, our resentment, our hate, and any other issues that will keep You from being able to work.

Father, forgive each of us for the parts we have played in where we are right now. Create in us clean and pure hearts. Show us where we have been wrong. Break our hearts and make them tender to see our faults, our selfishness, our self-centeredness and our critical spirits. Give us a spirit of humility to allow You to begin Your work in us. Eradicate all pride so You can come in and transform the brokenness and make it whole. Help us surrender our will to Yours. Help us lay on the altar anything that will get in Your way, show us those things and make them clear. Let your refining fire purify those places so we can begin to reflect You as we deal with each other. Thank You for Your promise that if we confess our sins, You are faithful and just to forgive them and purify us from all unrighteousness. We claim that promise for ourselves right now.

God, You give guidance on marriage. Specifically, You call us to certain roles. Right now they sound impossible, but Your Word says that with you all things are possible. We pray this prayer from this day forward to release the power of Your Word and Your Spirit into this marriage. We are asking You to do as You promise—to do immeasurably more than we can ever ask or imagine. Eph. 3:20. We know and trust You will do whatever we ask in Your name because, once again, You promise that in Your Word. John 14:13-14.

You call a wife to submit to her husband as to the Lord because in Your plan of marriage the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church. Eph. 5:22-33. As a wife, You call me to this, not to submit in a subservient way to my husband [name], but to do it as an act of submission to You. This seems impossible now because of all the circumstances and the past. But, God, I believe You alone can change my heart to submit to Your plan of marriage. Remove anything in my heart that would keep me from honoring Your Word on marriage. Remove any thoughts in my head that would contradict Your perfect will for us. You call me to respect my husband [name]. Again, there is so much pain and hurt that seems impossible to obey. But, God, I ask You to fill my mind and heart with whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, and whatever is beautiful about our marriage. Remind me of why I first fell in love.

You call a husband to love his wife as Christ loved the Church and gave Himself up for her to make her holy. Eph. 5:22-33. Father, give me a love for my wife, [name] that is like the love You have — pure, unconditional, patient, gentle, not judging, not self-seeking, not remembering wrongs but always looking for the best in her. Let me love her unselfishly. Teach me how to nurture and cherish her, to respect her. Help me to not complain or argue. Make the words of my mouth be only what is helpful and good. Give me a discerning spirit to know her needs and give me a heart to want to meet them.

God, we know You will honor our marriage only when we stay under the covering You provide in Your Word. Give us unity of heart and spirit through Your Holy Spirit. Whatever breach of honor, trust, or respect we have had in the past we come to You together, confessing and repenting in complete humility, asking for Your forgiveness and healing. Bless us with Your richest blessing that as a couple we will together know how high and wide and deep and long is Your love for us in Christ Jesus. We ask that from Your Glorious storehouses of riches You will make beautiful what has been dark and raw and hurting. Thank You that from this day forward we recommit this marriage to be rooted and established in Your deep and abiding love, the love that surpasses all knowledge. From this day forward, we pray that we will live a life worthy and live out a marriage worthy of You, Lord. Give us great endurance and patience. Fill us with Your joy so that when we have hard days, we can look beyond the circumstances and remember the Promises made in You. Keep our eyes on You and not on our faults and our circumstances. Remind us that we model You to our children. Help us to be living sacrifices to You, giving up our own desires to accomplish Your greater purposes for this family.

In whatever way our children have been hurt by this, Father, we ask You to redeem that situation. Allow them to see Your power and Your glory in all its splendor and wonder as we are transformed by the power of prayer and Your Word. Protect their tender hearts from the hurt and pain that has existed the last years. May they know Your great love for them, and may they know the assurance that our love is strong and for eternity. Make our home one that will be built solidly on the foundation of Jesus. It will be a safe place in this world where we all feel loved and protected. Help us each to humbly submit to You and to resist Satan. We know he desires to destroy this family and gain a foothold in this home. Help us to discern his evil tactics and protect our hearts and minds from his lies, traps, and deceptions. Give us Your strength and resurrection power for every spiritual battle he throws at us.

Thank you, Father, that there is hope in You, hope for a rich, wonderful future for this marriage and this family. What Satan intended for harm, you give purpose and turn into good. Cover us this day forward with Your protective hedge of safety and strength. Keep us in perfect peace. Thank You that You have begun a good work and will perfect it for Your glory. We ask all of these things in the powerful name of JESUS.

AMEN

My heart is so full because I KNOW that I KNOW the Lord is bringing His Hope into a broken and hurting marriage!!! Please know you are not alone…God is with you, and He has called me to walk alongside you with this prayer. He cares. He is listening. He has not forgotten. Don’t wait another moment. Meet with Him in prayer.

Standing with you in prayer,

    Wendy, I'm so excited about the book study. God has His hand in all things. I truly believe that. In Nov. I was diagnosed in having PTS.I thought that I had dealt with my past but after more than thirty years it has come back to haunt me in every part of my life. I was sexually abused in a church at the alter for 4 years starting at age 10 and then rapped at 16. It's really hard for me to even talk about it at this point in my life. I am fortunate to have a Christian family doctor that has been spending a lot of time with me to get me through the flashbacks and just wanting to live. I can't wait for the bible study. I can't wait to feel whole again.
    God Bless, Kay

    Wendy thank you for being obedient to God and writing this prayer. It is EVERYTHING I needed today. I am deeply moved and I know that I was lead to it by divine intervention and something I simply cannot comprehend. You see, I had an affair and I'm deeply saddened at how much pain this has brought my husband, Eric. We have been married almost 4 years. I know my choices have been what ended our marriage and is why we are separated. Our divorce will be final on Tuesday May 31st. But I believe God has a different plan for us. I have confessed my sin, repented and asked for God's forgiveness. But he still wants to go through with the divorce. I am believing by faith that God has a bigger plan for us and our marriage. I am not giving up, no matter what. Thank you again for your obedience. Kari (Kari and Eric)

    Wendy, I so needed this today. I have been trying for years to make my marriage a Godly marriage and it never has truly gotten better. In my eyes my husband is not emotionally supporting one of my children and it is a huge wedge between us. I try to talk about it and it always ends in an argument. Please pray for Steve and I.

    Wendy, Wow, what a day is all I can say! My husband and I have been separated for almost 4 months and on Monday God told me no more. He told me He hates divorce and He wanted me to reconcile. We were both lost souls but the trials we have endured over the last few months brought us both, undeniably, closer to the Lord and he's allowed us to work in others' lives. I met with my husband yesterday and we decided that God is right, He does not want this and we are His people and need to do right by Him. We are seeking counseling as a couple and as a family and called things off with our attorneys. I scheduled an appointment with our pastor for today then got your email….this is God and I feel like He gave me your blog today, especially since…..this is the first one I've ever read of yours!!!! Thank you for your spiritual guiadance and knowledge of His word and for your prayers. Howk(Hoke) and I are grateful and what a blessing you have been to my day!!

    Wendy,
    My husband has become a cross country trucker in the last year. He can't use any of his talents as a General Contractor because the industry went south. With this new occupation he's gone anywhere from 2-4 weeks & we only see each other approximately 32 hours each time he's gone. On top of this, our only son joined the Navy 15 months ago. So I would like to thank you in advance for praying for Kathie & George. God Bless You Girl!!!!

    Such a sweet and wonderful prayer. And such good (God)timing. My husband and I have split twice in our marriage of 6 years because of his infidelity. (Satan's evil schemes) We have three children together. Through these times I have questioned so much our being together and if I had done the right thing by marrying him in the first place. God is a wonderful and powerful God. This last time we split, which was december of 09, I felt completely dead. God raised me out of that like he did Lazarus. We have had terribly rough times since, but I know that God has mighty plans for us or the Devil wouldn't be attacking us so hard. Though things are actually blissful right now, i am going to pray this amazing prayer daily because is speaks to my heart. Thanks Wendy for listening to the call of the Lord. You are blessed and have blessed us.

    Wendy, I found the link to your post from a Proverbs 31 post on FB. When I read the first sentence I knew this was no accidental meeting. For almost 20 years now our marriage has for all practical purposes been over because of an affair of my husbands that produced a child. The Lord has been so good to me and has let me know without a doubt that I was to stay in the marriage. We have been separated so many times and the last time was for five years. He is home now but it is because in his words, "I am tired of living in the camper and I don't want to grow old alone". We get along great because we just exist together. No intimacy, no bonding, no closness and I've often asked God, "Why". "Why do you want us together if this is all there is?" I know this is long but I did want to give you some background information. As I read over this prayer I was amazed at the depth and scope which could have only come from God Himself. I know it is meant for me and I commit to pray this prayer as long as it takes for God to move in and bring restoration and healing. I would also be honored if you would remember us, Susan and Jim in your prayers.

    Maybe the Lord chooses not to heal all marriages. Just like some sicknesses end in death. I've prayed and cried out for my own marriage for years and ……..nothing. We are separated and plan to get divorced this month. Its sad, but I've brought it before the Lord for many years with no answer. It only gets worse and worse. More and more adultery against me. Its over and it would take a miracle for things to change. I pray God answers those who are still praying.

  52. Tess says:

    Wendy, God works in wonderous, beautiful ways. For the past week, I have been in deep prayer and quiet times with God, trying to discern what I'm supposed to do in my marriage. I've shared my story with Suzanne E. from P31, but what it basically amounts to is my husband's infidelities and sexual addictions. After discovering this almost a year ago (after being married for 2 years), we sought help, and he promised he was making a change. I saw over time that he became complacent in all that he was doing, and I confronted him about it. He admitted to me, our counselor, our family, and his sponsor that he had continued to lie the past year, and was still continuing his behaviors. My immediate reaction was divorce, since I initially gave him the ultimatum that that's what I would do if he was unfaithful again. Over the last week, though, the Lord has really nudged my heart. I have been learning new lessons about forgiveness, about the meaning of marriage, and about what my husband means to me as a Brother in Christ. I'm struggling with great feelings of bitterness, resentment, hurt, and anger. I'm praying for the Lord to deliver me form these emotions, and forgive. I'm praying that he gives me a heart of peace, and strength to committ to my husband as a supporter. I'm in a very difficult situation– I feel like I'm in a battle between what my earthly, secular mind tells me (Get out! He'll never change! He'll keep lying! He'll always hurt you!) versus what my God is telling me (Forgive, as I have forgiven you! I can restore, and make beauty out of ashes! Pray feverently for your husband! Don't you see his hurt and his turmoil? I can bring protection around your marraige. Focus on me!). Reading your post is God nudging me.

    I would greatly appreciate your prayers. My name is Tess, and my husband's name is Adrian. I need prayer for moving past my emotions and getting to a place where I can forgive. My husband needs prayer to rise out of the emotional shame, depression, and insecurities he is battling– to win this war against Satan who is attacking hard. And of course, we need prayer for restoration and protection of our marriage.

    Thank you for your beautiful words. I will treasure, and read over them daily.

    He is a BIG God and able to move mountains and perform miracles. He can do what we are asking of Him because we ask in faith based on His Word. I stand believing with you!!! I cannot wait to hear how God moves in and through these prayers.

    Wendy, thank you for this prayer that God prompted you to write. It is such a blessing to me. I discoverd one year ago this week that my husband had an affair. It ended several years ago, prior to my discovery and was a short term "war affair" while he was deployed to Iraq. We did not attend church ever in our marriage prior to the affair. We are however both believers. We are now both involved in church and have been since the discovery. He received pastoral counseling and is really sorry for the pain he caused me and the sin he committed against God he has recommited himself to our marriage. Over the past year we have both come to know God and are finally building our marriage with him as the foundation. I do feel he has truly repented and is a new person in Christ. Unfortunately, I am still struggling with the after effects of the affair. I find it hard to trust him and to understand the reason he had the affair. . I am bitter, hurt and angry and worried and fearful. He is due to deploy to Iraq again in the next few weeks I fear I will be facing the same situation again although he has changed for the better and he assures me that he is not the same person, I still worry.

    Many blessings, please keep us in your prayers.

    Dear Wendy, thank you so much for this. When I married my husband David we were both believers. That was 9 1/2 years a go. Today I am the only one that is still a believer and my husband calls himself an agnostic. I don't know how this all came about. It has affected other areas and especially now. Our 4 year old daughter was diagnosed with cancer last October and this has made things worse for him. He basically cannot believe that a "God" would allow such a terrible thing to happen to our precious daughter and to any small child for that matter. I feel I am alone praying for our child and I need him so badly, his support as a spiritual leader in our family. It has been so hard and so difficult to see him be so skeptical about something that was so important in his life before. Thank you again. His name is David and my name is Ana.

    I REALLY needed this right now…I have been asking God to take from me what I can not change, fix, or do on my own. WIth the pressures of life and poor health, my marriage is falling apart..I am angry with my husband for how he let me down, an let his family down, my heart breaks daily…I know the plans the Lord has for me… and I needed to be reminded that He has plans for my marriage as well…MY husband won't pray this prayer with me… or maybe he would if I asked..but he is not a praying man… I will pray this prayer and claim the promise thatis spelled out in this prayer.. Our marraige needs to be healed, and brough from death… Please pray for us. Thank you in advnce for your willing heart to pray for us and so many others..

    My husband and I have been seperated for almost 2 years. It has gotten really hard the last 3 weeks, we had a court date for the divorce that was continued, the next week he filed a false neglegent claim against me and my children were taken from me, and the week after that I learned that he not only has a new woman in his life, but she has been around my children. I had lunch with a very good friend Monday and she asked me, "so what do you want" and I honestly don't know. I don't know what to pray for, how to pray for it or what to expect. I thank you for this prayer, because it is exactly what I needed, and right on time. I have to learn to trust that God has my best interest at heart. And though things seem to be getting worse by the second I can hold on the promise that there is a hope for my future. Thank you for your prayers!

    My husband, William (non believer) and I have separated for over a year now. We are trying to work things out. We realize we moved into the marriage very quickly and now are trying to see if it can saved. I haven't been to church in years, but I know that marriage is a sacred bond that should be taken very seriously. Part of me can't get passed his flaws and the things said in the past that have caused great pain.
    Each time I decide to give it a chance,I second guess myself, telling myself he's not a believer, he will bring you down.. What if he's not the one for you? So I want to put our names for prayer as we also need His help…
    please pray for

    He gave his heart to Christ two weeks before living and my prayer is that God will restore their marriage. They have a son (1 1/2 yrs. old), they are young and neither of them want to work in their marriage.

    I do pray for ALL the couple in here that Satan is attacking their marriage. More than prayer we need the assurance that God knows the outcome and our future. Praying for you all!!!

    Such sadness envelopes me as I think about our marriage. It is, and has been hollow for many years. We are friends, but the rest is broken, very broken. My heart aches for empty years, misunderstandings coming out of our brokenness. I've prayed until I feel I can pray no more and wonder if God even hears me anymore. It's a very lonely feeling, like an orphan no one cares for. I will try to pray the prayer you posted here, scraping up a bit of hope that perhaps, this time, things will really change.

    God bless you Wendy for writing this prayer . It was EXACTLY what i needed. I know stumbling unto your site was not by accident, but that God divinely orchestrated it. I went to bed at about 2am and woke up feeling distress at about 6am. I took the laptop and open my email and i decided to read the Encouragement for Today and that was how i stumbled unto this prayer site. You see my husband and I have been seperated for 3+ years now, because of the wrong decision and steps that i took, i ran way from home with the kids without my husbands knowledge to another country, while there God spoke to me, i realise i shouldn't have taken the steps that i took. So i came back to my husband, by then he had started dating another woman from the same church we both attends. He took the kids and will not allow me back into the house ever since. We are both christians, my husband even runs a ministry which majority of its members are women. He says he is no longer interested, because God told him i wasn't his wife. But i know God has a different plan for us. Our marriage will be 18years this December. Problem again is that there are too many 3rd parties involved. I am not giving up on this our marriage, because 1. i love my husband, 2 Because God hates divorce and 3. because of those innocent children whom we are suppose to raise together in a godly home. I am holding on to the hope that God can restore us. I will commit to praying this prayer everyday for as long as it takes for God to intervene and bring healing and restoration. Thank you so much Wendy. (Please pray for us Yetti and Dipo Selesi)

    I'm crying right now because I'm soooo grateful for God and the people of God who are obedient in following His unctions. I've been going through a rough time in my marriage. I've been married for 22 years now and I left my husband back in October. I've battled depression for years going back and forth on my decision to leave or stay. Because I am a beliver I tried to keep fighting but I just could not do it any longer. My own desires of wanting to be free got in the way but as I read this prayer I can see that it truly in fact was MY selfish desires. I and my children have been verbally abused in this situation, so how could I have missed all the signs of the enemy – because I was in the way. We tried counseling (one or two visits) but he didn't like it and gave up. We both have confessed Jesus as Lord but I have been the spiritual head of the house. I wanted him to have that job. So now that I've found this prayer I will pray it until I see manifestation. Thank you so much!

    I really needed this prayer. Last before falling asleep, I just kind of given up. Or should I say I had that come what may approach to my problems. My husband of 20 years is having an affair which I found out a month ago. Ever since I discovered about it, all I did was cry and think and pray to God’s help and guidance. Every time I feel hopeless, I surrender it all to God. But every time I think of the possibility that my husband leaves for the other woman, I end up wanting to give up. You my husband told me that he loves the other woman than he loves me. Maybe it is true coz he is willing to move out but does not want ti file for divrce yet because he said he does not know what happens in the future. He is sending me mixed emotions and signals that is why I am not sure if I should set him free and wait till he comes back to me or just hold on to him and let him stay home with us while he keeps in contact with the other woman. She lives in Europe and they just met thru Facebook. Last June was the first time they physically met and just recencently, this month he went to see again. I am so devastated and so hurt cause after all he has done and still does I still love him and forgive him and still want to be with him and stay married to him. Please pray for me and my husband and our 4 children. May God help me get through this and restore our marriage. Please pray for my husband that he may have a change of heart see his mistake, turn back to God and repent and turn away from sin, in Jesus name we ask, amen.

    Dear Wendy,
    Thank You ~ my husband Al and I were married May 2007 and both in our early forties (at the time :) and both had three children from other marriage, with the exception, that my two older son’s (22 and 24) were living back home, in Allen, TX and Royse City, TX.

    With four children in our home, in southeastern AZ. (where my husband was raised) I have seen great joy and great challenge, sometimes painful challenge. For I cling to my FAITHFUL GOD for wisdom and guidance. With three teens and a 9 year old in our home, my husband and I do not get alot of “us” time, but we do make intentional dates from time to time! I know that I have a husband who LOVES the LORD and a GOD who honors that. I am quite sure there are other marriages that desperately need to be healed and others who would be enhanced immensely by a touch of His grace ~ I am thankful for each trial, and for your obedience to Him in prayer, and encouragement to families and marriages, and to your sister’s in the Lord~ that you would intercede on our behalf~ what a BLESSING~ one that I would not miss out upon! It doesn’t matter where we come from, or what we have done, as long as we come to JESUS ~to restore and salvage our human hearts and our families, in a time of instability in the world around us and the darkness which intends to kill and destroy our spirits. Please pray for Al and me.

    May God Bless you and your family and the beautiful ministry of your Father’s heart!
    Love, Patty

    We have been married for 19 years and have two boys, 17 years and 8 years. About a year ago, my husband announced that he has never loved me. Monday, January 2, 2012 he let me know that he will be moving out. We are both Christians. We have served God in ministry together and seen God move in our lives. My heart is so broken and I cannot understand. I am curling up into the lap of God right now. I am believing for my marraige. It is not too late.

    • WendyB says:

      I stand with you now believing God for healing and restoration in your marriage!! Praying too for you to stay in God’s Word and that it may be a healing balm for your broken heart during this time of waiting.

      Blessings,

    I am so grateful for sites like yours that talk about believing God for marriage restoration. On the surface to many family members and friends, my marriage looks hopeless. Both of us have issues stemming from our childhoods which I believe adversely affected how we related to one another. My husband has left, and has been gone for 2 months now. He says he isn’t ever coming back to live with me, but has visited. Please pray that God would work in both of our hearts and minds, so that our marriage could be one day better than ever before. Thank you.

    • WendyB says:

      Thank you for your kind words. I have seen wonderful stories of restoration, and I join you now in believing restoration for your marriage!!!

      Blessings,

      Wendy

    Thank you Wendy. God brought me to this location not by accident. My wife, Melodie filed for divorce. She’s not being herself. She’s caring & has a heart of gold. Over the years she says I began being rude & began using nasty language. Most of it came from work & frustrations but I let satan into our home & marriage. Didn’t love & honor her like I did when we were first married. God let this happen to us to get my attention. Boy did He ever! He broke me at 5:15am while I went to feed the horses. I sunk to my knees pouring tears & said take everything from me, my life is yours & may your will be done on my life. Melodie’s mind is still on divorce. I ask all to pray that God will touch her heart & that she will open her eyes. There is no other on our lovelife, or any alcohol, or drugs, just a hardened heart against me. She’s doing everything to push me away. Please pray for us. This Feb. 1, 2012 will have been our 26th anniversary. Thank you Wendy for your prayers. I want God’s will done in our marriage. Amen & amen!
