I need prayer for my marriage. My husband has been living with someone else for a year and refuses to get out of his life. He says he wants to save our marriage but cannot do the things to work on peace healing and forgiveness. I ask for prayer that he will do the things needed to save our marriage and see his wrong doings that God would convict his heart and have no interest in the other person or need to keep in his life.
Please pray for the restoration of my marriage. My husband and I have been married 6 years and separated for one month. We have one young child. Please pray for God to soften my husband’s heart and direct his paths back to his matrimonial home and family and that the Holy Spirit will speak directly to my husband in ways unexpected and that he will respond with faith in action. I ask for the Lord to continue to reveal to me, the changes I need to make in my own life in order to be the best wife I can be and for a peace that passes understanding to rain upon us. Also pray that during my interactions with my husband (mostly centered around our child) I can show him love and respect, despite his actions and decisions at this time. I ask that God reveals to us ways to love unconditionally, reconnect, and reunite.
I live in Illinois, USA, and my wife, Kaba (pronounced Ka-ba), in South Africa. During our separation, she has taken up with another man. He is in our home in SA, our marriage bed, around our son… my wife is unrepentant about her sinful lifestyle. But I know the Holy Spirit is dealing with her. Please pray God continues to soften her heart and that she turns to Jesus to comfort her wounds, as she was a victim of sexual abuse as a young girl. Repentance through Christ is the first building block in the restoration of our marriage, future, posterity and prosperity… in Jesus’ name I declare it, Amen.
Please pray for my family and our marriage. My wife is my best friend and the thought of losing her has brought me down to a depressed place. I know I’m hard to live with; I’m a veteran who has beem recovering from a spinal injury and my wife has been there for me. Now she has so much anger towards me. The fighting is out of hand. Our two young boys don’t deserve this. My family is what got me home. Losing them terrifies me more than 3 combat tours. When I was told I was no longer of any use to the Army I felt I had lost my purpose and way. My family is all that has kept me going. Please keep us in prayer.
Please pray for my marriage. My wife left me 3 months ago, and after originally wanting to reconcile, now she’s found someone else and wants to move forward with the divorce. I’ve been in constant prayer about this, and I believe that God will restore this marriage. With God, ALL things are possible, and I’m asking for prayers for reconciliation. Thank you.
God, please help me; help my failing marriage. I am in despair and I cannot do this without you. PLease give me the strength to follow your word and to act as if you would with love and kindness in these trying time. In your son Jesus’ name I pray. amen
My wife has moved out and been gone three weeks now… I didnt pay enough attention to the signs and worked too much. I didn’t show her enough love and care. She says she’s going to file for divorce this week but said the same last week so I have a small shred of hope. How foolish I was to put money and material things before my marriage. I feel so hopeless. I’m losing the love of my life. All I can do is place my faith in God that he guides her heart to the right decision, whatever that may be for her. But I pray she returns someday. I ask humbly for others prayers as well.
I need total restoration and peace of God in my marriage, my father’s house, and my father’s in-law’s house, this month of June 2014. I need the great grace of God upon my family and my ministry. God is good.
My husband and I were married for 27 years when he decided he no longer loved me and started an affair with a lady he worked with. I believed that God had put us together and would bring us back together. We were separated for 18 months. God did put us back together. We have been back under one roof for almost 3 years. Last night he told me he wants a divorce because he had decided he wants to be with her. I am angry with God, angry that He would put me through this pain again, that He would tear us apart again. I desperately need your prayers. I don’t want a divorce.
Dear Sheri, I can feel your pain but whatever the situation keep your heads high and faith into Jesus. Whatever happens, happens for a reason. God is great. Keep praising him even in difficult times; you will see the light back into your life no matter what the outcome is. God always reserve the best part for us. The Lord bless you and your husband.
I ask for prayer for my family. My husband had an affair in 2012 and I’m still not over it. It hurts so bad that he has done so much to please her and never tried with me. He lives back here but I can’t let it go. I feel weak, angry, bitter, hurt all in one. I don’t know how to cope with this. I have no family, no friends, just the man, my husband that betrayed me. Please pray for me. I’m so worried about my future and what’s next to come. I love him but I feel like he can’t love me if he like seeing me in pain. Please pray and give me some advice.
Ask the Lord to heal you of all your hurts and pain. Tell him you forgive him but forgiveness is not always trusting. He has to demonstrate trust like assuring you he will not do it again. Keep asking and trusting God to do a deep work of repentance in his life and ask for His grace to enable you to get through this time in your marriage.

Dear China, I’m in the same boat as you. My husband also had an affair in 2012 and I still struggle to let go of the hurt, pain and bitterness. But what I’ve realised is, we are struggling to let go because we are seeking affirmation from our husbands who failed us instead of seeking affirmation from God who’s love is unfailing. I think we both need to get to a point where we look to God, seek him with all our hearts and He will heal us. Our husbands are just a weak failable man who could not stay true to their promises -but so are we -weak and failable human beings. I pray my sister that you would find peace in Jesus that you would look to him and I pray that both of us will come out gold after all this.
I go to a support group for divorced couples. I see our country in such pain because of divorce. The legal system seems to support the devil in making the suffering worse. But what I see is that pride seems to be the root of nearly every divorce, and the root of the continued conflict when spouses divorce. The suffering are our children. Today I’m off to counselling with my former spouse to seek assistance on communication for our children’s sake. I ask God to give him and I both the courage to set pride aside and focus on our children. I also believe that through our children our friendship can be restored, with Prayer! Pray for us please.
Dear God, I need help. I have been unfaithful to my wife and family for years. I’ve tried so very hard to do the right thing, but I’m weak. I love my wife and family and would do anything for them; I’d even die for them. I’m at a crossroad now and I don’t know if my marriage will last because of what I’ve done.
I’ve had struggles with my life since high school when I was assaulted by older boys at school. This made me feel like I had no control. I never addressed this until I was married. One day when I was feeling very low and bad about myself I noticed there was a guy looking at me. I told myself “Hey maybe if I can make him do what happened to me I’ll feel better.” It was a way for me to try to get the control back. It made me feel good for a little while, but then I felt guiltier than I did before. It became a horrid cycle for me. I would feel bad about myself and try to make someone else pay. I was doing the same thing that was done to me each time, trying to even the score. All it did was to build a wall between my wife and myself. I’m not attracted to men sexually. This has nothing to do with sex and everything to do with power. I want my shame about being abused to end and my shame of how I tried to make it go away to end.
My wife knows, but doesn’t understand. She isn’t sure who she’s married to, nor does she know if she wants to stay with me. I don’t blame her. I don’t know how I would react to this bombshell either, although I’d rather be on her side of this than where I am. We have three beautiful children who know there’s something going on.
I know this whole thing is my fault. I’ve hurt the most important person in my life. I don’t know if she’ll ever trust me again, if we’ll ever be as close, If my marriage will survive. I want this horrid chapter in my life to end. I had such a strong faith when I was young, but now I don’t know if I have the strength or faith to survive this. I want it to stop, I want my family back, I want my faith back. I want my wife back, I want my marriage back. God Please Help Me!
Please join me in prayer for relationship strengthening of mine and Rodney’s relationship with God and with each other. Thank you.
Pray that the walls that have been put up and caused lack of trust, lack of intimacy, lack of communication and hardness of heart be destroyed. Thank God that His will for our lives prevail. That trust, intimacy, communication, togetherness and forgiveness be restored. Our marriage is better than before and our testimony will glorify God.
Please pray for me and my family. I have been married for nearly 16 years and my husband is a compulsive gambler. I did not know this until I married him and have struggled with him for 15 years. My health is affected now and I am looking to separate from him. I am financially not able but prayer can change things. He is a great father but I cannot continue to help him anymore or help him to seek help because it is destroying me and my kids life. Thank You.
Hi, I pray for you.
