Please pray for my husband James that he would put the Lord first and honor our marriage. That he would put the Lord first in our finances. Pray that the Lord, would bless my husband’s work, that he would be diligent and prosperous and given favor both with the Lord and man. That he would be the head and not the tail. That everything he does prospers. Pray that no weapon formed against us would prosper. That the Lord would give him wisdom and discernment. Pray that the Lord would give him strength to walk into opportunities he provides. That the Lord, would infuse his character with courage for daily decisions and heal the past wounds of my husband’s heart. Pray the Lord would guide my husband as the leader of our home.
Help my husband’s parenting to reflect Jesus Christ to our children. May his leadership skills be empowered by the mind of Jesus Christ. Pray the Lord would lead my husband’s hand and heart in our relationship, his work, our home, community and church. Also please pray a guard over his heart, mouth and mind, Jesus. Also to protect him from temptation and to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Lastly pray for him to have encouraging and godly friendships. Break any soul times or relationships that are not from the Lord. In Jesus Name Amen.
Angela, I join you in praying for your marriage, your husband and children. May the Lord bless and keep you and yours in the center of His will as you continue to be a godly wife and trust in Him. Your husband and children will be blessed because of your faithfulness and the sweet aroma you give off that shows you have been with Jesus!
My brothers and sisters in Christ please pray for my husband and I that the Lord will give us wisdom with our communication skills. My husband avoids talking about anything that he thinks requires depth and emotion. He says very hurtful things to me when we argue, even cursing at me. The look in his eyes is so cold when he does this. He never apologizes when he is wrong. He also doesn’t take responsibility for anything and somehow finds a way to blame or accuse me for everything. He does that so nonchalantly that it bothers me a lot. Just today he snapped at my aunt and started cursing at her simply because she said she wasn’t happy that he left me to carry the heavier bag while he took only his things (which was his backpack with an Armani code cologne that he bought) from my mom’s apartment. I still can’t see how this situation blew up so fast. Most times I stay quiet to avoid conflict but this is eating me up inside. I find myself crying even when I’m in my office whenever these things come to mind. I really need the Spirit of God to work in us. Amen.
Father, I pray that Cassie’s husband will no longer have a heart of stone, but a circumcised heart of flesh that is filled with Your spirit. May he have a bridle on his tongue and take control over his thoughts and actions so that he might please You. Help Cassie to be bold in her faith, zealous in her love for him and speak the truth in love. May they be tender, loving and kind towards one another so that their marriage is filled with peace, love, joy and hope. May they walk as one and allow no one or anything to separate them from each other or Your great love for them. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Thank you very much Melodee. I’m crying so much as I pray the prayer you’ve written cause this is exactly what I want for my marriage. I will make every effort to pray this prayer daily. Thanks again and may the Lord bless and keep you.
Praise God! May you continue to cry out to Him and know that He hears you and wants to bless you, even now with His comfort.
Please pray for my wife and me. We have been married ten years, have three kids (ages 10, 6, and sixteen months) and she recently had an affair with an ex-boyfriend and got pregnant from the affair. I have been working with a counselor and my pastor in order to forgive her (it’s a process), and have even been open to adopting and accepting the child as part of our family and raising it as our own. But she is insisting that I put my name down as the child’s father on the birth certificate. She said she would divorce me if I didn’t because she said that by not writing my name on the birth certificate, the child will be subject to harassment and possible discrimination because of how it was conceived, and her number one priority is to protect her kids.
I want to be able to state on the record that the child is not mine, and go through the adoption process so that we can figure out the biological father’s role in this whole ordeal. I want to raise the child as my own, but I can’t do that without acknowledging the truth of the whole situation. She is only one month pregnant, but I don’t want to wait until the child is born to do anything about it. It’s a tough process and I could use any prayers this page can offer me.
Andrew, this is certainly a test of your faith and you will only be able to pass with the help of God. It’s amazing that the Father trusts you with so much – your wife, children and the child to be. It can’t be easy, but our God will make it worthwhile in the end. Here is my prayer for you and your wife:
Father, be with Andrew, his wife and family as they allow Your spirit to fill their hearts and lead them today and in the days to come. Soften his wife and his heart so that they might be able to see the other person’s point of view and make the best decision for their long-term well-being that honors You. May they continue to make You a part of of their three strand cord so that they keep from breaking and are able to stand firm against the enemy’s attacks. May they be drawn closer to You and each other so that they can truly walk as one in victory over this situation, but reap the blessings You have in store for them. May they remember to do everything for Your glory as they extend mercy, grace and foregiveness to one another while living in peace and harmony. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Please pray that God can restore our marriage as we have begun living in separate bedrooms. We both have said many hurtful comments to one another in front of our three children. Please pray the our dear Lord would restore our hearts and heal our marriage and that we can once again be the examples to our children and others what a Godly marriage can be. Our hearts have turned away from the Lord and our church attendance is non-existent as our children’s schedules have us running 7 days a week.
Father, please allow Jeni to continue to recognize and appropriately respond to Your tugs on her heart. May she and her husband surrender their lives to You and find balance. May they not tire themselves out in trying to do good, but seek the one thing that matters and cling to it. As they develop their relationship with You, may their marriage and household be blessed and You glorified. Restore them into right fellowship with You and their marriage. All praise to the Most High. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
My prayer request is that I want to get married in December 2017. I am tired of being alone. Thank you Jesus for doing it. Amen
Onyekweli, praying that God gives you a glimpse into your future and the plans He has for you and that they might include marriage in the near future.
My husband doesn’t want to forgive me. He brings up minor issues in our everyday life that turns into major problems about my character and the past. I am on a rollercoaster of emotions, one day being happy and lovey dovey with him, and the next having him curse at me and telling me that I was a mistake. A day out could turn into a nightmare as he spots something minor like perhaps a drink I used to drink or a particular place I went with him when I hurt him. He often tells me to leave him and tells me I am a mistake and curse to him.
Because of this relationship I haven’t been able to spend time with my friends in fear that he gets angry, driving most of my friends away. When we go out, I am also constantly on guard for anything that might spark his anger. I feel so alone and hurt. I know the past was my fault, but he brings it up constantly, and I’ve typed apology paragraphs after apology paragraphs. Yet he tells me I am only affectionate when I am apologetic. He recently told me that he lost faith in God and me and wants a divorce. Please pray that he’ll forgive me and soften his heart. More importantly, please pray that he does not lose faith in God.
Father, please soften Sarah’s husband’s heart and free him from the bitterness he harbors and his sense of self-righteousness. May he be reminded of His need for You and all the grace and mercy he’s been given and cling to You. May he truly forgive Sarah and live with her in peace and harmony. Let them both not live in fear but have the joy, soundness, comfort and hope for the the future that comes from serving You and being in right relationship with You. Instead of the past – may they focus on You and Your goodness and therefore overflow with love for one another and fight against the devil’s attempts to destroy their marriage. May they recognize the blessing of being married and put in the work to stay together. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Thank you.
Please offer your prayers to my wife so as to unharden her heart and let the voice of the Lord enter. I pray also for the continued strength, wisdom, patience, and hope that our marriage will renew and we become stronger as a team. May prayers also be given to all who speak with us and offer us counsel, may they understand that our marriage should be counseled not us. May we hear His Word and know His Grace. May we have the strength to battle Satan, as he has entered our marriage and seeks to destroy all Christian marriages, as he did in Eden. In your name I pray. Amen.
Father, let Richard and his wife continue to persevere and make the necessary changes to have a marriage that honors You. May they keep their hearts open to You so that they can know by Your spirit what You are doing to bring healing in their lives and be obedient to Your leading. Help them to not give up or get overly frustrated so that they are able to see Your hand st work and the progress that is being made. May they find reasons to celebrate and be loving and kind to one another as they strengthen their bond. Bless and keep them so that they walk in victory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Please stand in agreement with me for full restoration of my marriage. My wife Dawn has left me and our son and filed for divorce; we have been married for over 16 years. She is a good woman who needs God’s healing in her heart. We need God’s love and wisdom. Only God can heal this marriage. Thank you for your prayers and God bless.
Standing in agreement with you, David and praying that when your marriage is restored the two of you will worship the Lord together like never before. Praying that your love is so strong and powerful it inspires others to follow the two of you as you follow Christ. To God be the glory!
Father keep blessing my relationship with Vishakha. Keep the love between us pure, non betraying, eternal and make both of us righteous. Provide her as my true lover and spouse..IJNIP..AMEN
Kundan, praying with you that as God reveals His plan for your relationship, you are obedient and that You follow Him with all your heart, mind, soul and strength so that you remain in His will. Many blessings!
Hi. Please pray that my fiancée of 10 years comes back to me; his name is Joseph. He has been seeing this girl that he works with daily; her name is Sonia. He has me and my 2 daughters at home that miss him terribly. He stated that he was confused. Please pray that he comes back to me; I am willing to forgive him and start over. Please help me. And help me get rid of that girl, thank you.
Father, please heal Catherine’s broken heart and give her divine wisdom; comfort her when she’s lonely and remind her of her worth. Help her to exercise her freedom and continue on the path You have lain before her, accepting Your timing and will. Let her live for You and be a godly example for her daughters, while avoiding situations that will cause her more unnecessary pain. Help Joseph to surrender his life to You and make decisions that honor You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Please join me in praying for the restoration of my marriage with Ray. He is convinced that he no longer wants to be married to me. We have 4 daughters (12,12,11,11 years old) I want to break the curse of divorce in our families. He is a good man, caught up in sin as am I a good woman also caught up in sin. Please pray God softens our hearts and minds to one another.
Thank you!
Father, infuse Ciara and Ray with Your spirit as they surrender to You and gain the victory over the sin and obstacles that are wreaking havoc on their marriage. Bless them to fight for their marriage and family. Keep a hedge of protection around this family so that it might be full of peace, love, joy, grace, mercy and s safe haven. May they all experience You in new ways as a family and as individuals. Restore this marriage so that Ray and Ciara can fulfill the purposes they were created for and their children can witness Your transforming power. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
I am believing for God to restore my marriage. Please stand with me that despite a finalized divorce a few months ago, God is able to make a way where the seems to be no way. Thank you!
Father, we thank You for who You are and praise You for doing the impossible. We thank You for Your faithfulness, even when we are not faithful. Father, we beg you to be faithful to Jessica and restore her marriage, may it reflect Your glory. Allow her and her husband to once again be the desire of each other’s hearts; to live fully for You and to be a testimony to all of Your greatness. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
My husband left me and the children after an argument. He just said he was leaving. He has a 6 month old baby boy with the woman he is living with now. They are living just 15 mins away. My son is 13 and we have a 2 year old daughter. My husband also has a 10 year old boy he had out of wedlock. He blames me for everything. I want my marriage to be restored not only for my teenage who needs dad the most now, but for us and God’s salvation. Please help me pray for my marriage restoration. The word of God says, “Therefore what he has put together let no man separate and also that we do not fight against flesh and blood. Please help me stand in the Gap for my husband. It has been many years of pain and heartache 💔 …Always when are about to accomplish something good then something bad happens to our relationship.
Father, please remind Tapiwa you are with her as she fights for her marriage and family to stay together. May she and her husband recognize that they are stronger together and must be united against the attacks of the enemy. May they forgive each other, extend grace and mercy towards one another, and live in peace and harmony. May it be their heart’s desire to live a life that pleases You and honors You. Allow them to be an example for their children of what it is to be an overcomer and keep pressing towards the mark. Restore this marriage and family and let them praise You forever for what You have done and will do for this marriage and family. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Please pray for my marriage. Especially for me. I usually say my husband. But I am realizing more and more that I need it more. We have been together 21 years, married 16. We met in high school through his sister who is my friend and we asked permission from her :-). He has been on drugs, drinking, and women through the years and comes from the influence of a dad who did similar but loves money women and his desires. He was disrespectful to his wife. He felt that as a man he says what goes regardless of what his wife feels. He says he pays the cost to be the boss.
It’s been hard dealing with this influence upon my spouse over time. He became violent and abusive. But God still brought me through. Somehow we are still together. We moved from Michigan to Texas 5 years ago. Us moving here made no sense in the natural, but spiritually I was on fire. I knew I was headed toward something amazing God had in store. Our home church. God transformed me and my husband two years ago. I am so grateful. We fully surrender to the Lord daily. Our three children at home as well (it’s a battle).
Our two oldest adult children 20 and 21 moved out at 16 and 18 before we gave our life to God. It was hard for me, I grieved. My 20 year old daughter recently moved back with her 1 year old daughter. The grandbaby is such a joy to us. She lets her stay with us mostly while she stays at a friends house who lives with her parents. My daughter is talking to several different men online. We are worried about her. The people she lives with have 5 big dogs. 4 shepherds and 1 Pitbull (who bit me recently pretty good in the leg during Hurricane Harvey where we live and were evacuated). She brings the baby back and forth occasionally over there with the dogs since then, and we worry about the baby’s safety when she is there. My daughter and the people treated me being bit as nothing. They actually made excuses like, “it was loving on you.” You were wearing pants, it was excited, it was nervous…(you get the picture).
I am humbling myself best I can. My husband is battling diabetes, neuropathy, and cataracts. He can barely get around due to pain and vision lately. He is only 41. I am used to being the sole provider. I always have been, not sure why, but this is how it’s been. I could say reasons, but really am just exhausted from thinking about it all. I ask for prayer for myself. I don’t know what to do anymore. I battle just to pray. I am a worship warrior. When I am on fire for God I don’t care where I am who’s around I glorify God and shout for joy. But I feel at times like there is something holding me back, I feel less than what I think God intended me to be.
Father, please be with Kimberly and help her to cast her cares upon You and let You deal with them- give her the strength to let go and not keep them on her mind. Bless her to stay focus on You and in a state of worship so that the fears, doubts and weight of this world do not overtake her. Let her experience Your freedom so that she can always cry out to You and praise You. Bless her marriage to be a representation of you. Keep her children and grandchild under Your care and let them live in submission to You. As she continues to seek You and serve You, may everything else fall into place and may she continue to have hope for the future. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Pray for me to understand how I might deal with lack of intimacy in our marriage. We both are Christian and waited to be intimate till marriage. Now being married for 56 years, have not been intimate for the last 32 years. It seems there is a lack of respect to seek counselling or even conversation to try to resolve the issue. I need prayer to continue patience in abstinence even when I do not even feel closeness reciprocated.
Father, please let Larry and his wife truly come together as one and live in harmony so that they may experience a deeper intimacy with You and each other. Let their desire for one another cause them to burn and only be fulfilled through each other’s touch. May they find reasons to laugh more, celebrate more, treasure their memories, create new memories and hold and comfort one another. May their conversation be full of love, joy, kindness and peace. Let them work together to honor You with their marriage and in turn reap the benefits of having been married for so long. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
