Please may you pray for me, my husband and our son. In Dec 2023 I found out that my husband was having an affair and a few months later we separated. A few days ago he asked me for a divorce.
I’m totally shattered and hope that you will pray for restoration of my marriage and pray that my husband and I can be better companions for each other. I love him dearly and do not want our family to be torn apart. Kindly pray for his mistress as well, as she has broken our home. Your assistance would be truly appreciated. Kind regards, Dionne
Praying for your husband to admit his wrong doing repent and seek God as well as His direction for his life. Also praying for your son to navigate the ups and downs and grow stronger in his relationship with Christ – may the two of you be mindful of him when making decisions and how you talk about the other around him. In addition, I’m praying that you continue to trust God through the process of working through what will happen with your marriage and future. Praying that the other woman develops a relationship with Christ, repents and values herself to not settle for less. When healing and true repentance occurs, I’m praying that you and your husband can work through the grief and pain and come out better and stronger.
Dear Melody, Thank you for your prayers and sound advice. I too will keep praying and hope that God’s will will be done. Thanks and regards, Dionne
Please pray for my marriage that’s on the verge of divorce. We were about to come together again after a long separation… My husband is having a double mind. Please help me pray if it’s another woman changing his mind to be cast away from my husband.
Praying that your husband has fully surrendered to God snd is living an honorable and righteous life that will allow him to be the man and husband God has called him to be. Also praying that both of you are in a space where you can work together to strengthen your bond, openly communicate and establish the appropriate boundaries do that nothing and no one can come between you.
Hello, I have some issues in my marriage. My husband doesn’t like me as I’m overweight. He never initiates physical intimacy from day 1. Always he says lose weight then I will love you. He doesn’t want me to be around him. Both of our families have fought with each other because of this and now me and my husband are staying separately. I want this marriage to be restored and praying God continuously but there’s no answer. Kindly help
Praying that you and your husband will love and appreciate each other for the love you have for each other moreso than physical appearance. May your love for each other be undeniable and ignite/inspire passion for physical intimacy.
Please pray for breakthroughs for my husband and I who are going through some major challenges in our lives. We are submitting to the Lord, and needing His grace and power to carry us through.
Praying that you both experience God in ways you never imagined and everything you’re going through right now brings you closer to God and each other.
Please pray for my marriage. My husband said he is filing for divorce. I lied about my sexual past repeatedly to him out of shame and fear of losing him. This last fight we had when be caught me in a lie, I came out with all of the truth. It includes trysts with married men and coworkers. Nothing during our relationship, but when I was a broken single woman. Not that that’s any excuse.
He is my world and I could not love him more. I selfishly gave into my shame and the fear of losing him by hiding my past from him when he’d ask. He has two daughters, one of whom will be especially broken by a divorce due to our close relationship. It would break me too. He is not speaking to me at the moment, but has called me every name in the book, which I understand.
Please pray for God to soften his heart and see how we can rebuild, that I love him so deeply and take accountability for serving my sin over him. We’ve only been married 2 months, and his trust in me has been an ongoing issue due to early missteps of mine that made him suspicious of my intentions and actions in situations with others, even when everything is above board. So the revelation of my sexual past and how long I’d hidden it was the final straw for him.
Praying the two of you will seek counseling before making decisions about your marriage because if you have truly surrendered to Christ – your past is your past. And thank God for freedom and redemption. Please continue to seek God and understand you should not be called out of your name in a way that is not loving or kind. May you get to the root of why you felt compelled to lie and continue to operate in truth.
Praying for his heart to be softened and that he is reminded not to cast stones, but to genuinely allow the Spirit to help him forgive. Yet, remember it is difficult to be in a relationship with someone you can’t trust – so give grace where you can, but do not subject yourself to mistreatment. Hold tight to God and He will hold tight to you and no matter what happens – remember God’s love for you and how wonderful, important and worthy you are to Him!
Hi, My name is Robert, 51 yrs old, based in Melbourne Australia. Married for 20 yrs with 3 kids. Please pray for me and for my marriage to be saved. Out of the blue and without me seeing the sign, my wife, which is a Christian, asked for a separation on the 12th July, asked me to move out 2 weeks after (I was thinking that this is to give her some time and space?) which I did. Within a month of me moving out she sent me a lawyer letter for financial settlement.
I apologized to her for anything I have done knowingly and unknowingly, and told her I am praying for reconciliation but she won’t hear from me and says there is no reconciliation as far as she is concerned and that she is at peace with her decision. She says she feels like the lid from the tin has come out and she is free to make decisions for herself.
My eldest 2 kids (16 yrs old boy and 24 yrs old daughter) don’t want to have anything to do with me.
Everything looks so bleak, especially when lawyers are involved and I don’t have any hope that she will change her mind, but I also know God can do the impossible even.
I am scared to pray for the marriage to be restored but then it doesn’t happen. I feel suicidal and can’t stand the pain every minute I live.
Robert, praying that you will seek a godly counselor, family member or friend who can provide encouragement and support to you right now. It is very important that you understand no matter what happens – God loves and cares for you – He is faithful and will see you through. Also, praying that you don’t neglect praying – please bear in mind that God’s permissive will allows things to happen that we hate and don’t understand – but in the end will bring Him glory and draw us closer to Him. May you be in a position that you accept all God will allow you to experience at this time in your life.
I’m going to pray along with others that both of you yield to God and make choices that honor Him. May you continue to work on yourself to be the man that God has called you to be so that if and when your family comes back together – you can take your rightful place as the spiritual leader and protector of your household. Blessings to you!
Please pray for my marriage. We have been separated twice and came back together; now the past is haunting us again and my husband wants a divorce. We both have wronged each other. I really love him.
Praying that both of you will let the past stay in the past and trust God either your future. Praying that both of you have made the necessary changes and continually live a life surrendered to God so that you thrive in your relationships with God, your marriage and others.
Please Lord, soften my wife’s heart and restore our marriage. I have just seen a photo of us and cannot believe she never loved me.
Praying for God’s abundant and amazing love to overwhelm you and heal your aching heart. May you treasure the good memories and loose yourself from the bad and be open to what God has for you in this season. May you take advantage of all the good that comes your way and continue to lavish your children with love and support. We’re still praying for you and (Kate?).
Yes, Kate. Thank you for remembering and your faithful prayers.
My wife and I have had a terrible season – of betrayals, and secrets, and explosive anger. Although currently separated, focusing on some self-care, a couples therapist who has no particular appreciation for God existing in a marriage has done some unbelievable harm to our chances of reconciling. As in all relationships, we both need accountability for what’s happened in the past, and we both need to be committed to change. I pray my wife will rely on our Lord – for wisdom and hope and ultimately reconciliation.
Praying that both of you will dedicate yourselves to Jesus and seek out a godly counselor that honors God and not a denomination. May you both repent, seek each others forgiveness and commit to honoring your vows of being committed only to each other as well as to love and cherish each other as long as you both shall live. May you stay the course no matter how difficult and let the Holy Spirit revitalize your love for one another or let each other live in peace.
Prayer request that our Lord restores my marriage to my husband who has separated from me, abandoned me and my family emotionally and stubbornly refuses to talk to me or reconcile. This has never happened in the 30 years we have known each other. I pray for the softening of his hard heart back to me, this marriage and family. At the moment, there is minimum interaction with only one child and him. Thank you for your prayers.
Praying that you will continue to trust God with your marriage and family, especially concerning the lack of communication. Praying that you will continue to pray for your family, do your part to be loving kind and not let the opinions of others have a negative impact on you. Ensure that you are able to forgive and are able to seek forgiveness if need be. May all wrongs be righted and the love you all share cover a multitude of sins.
Please pray that my marriage is restored. My husband filed for divorce and has not talked to me in 2 months. Praying that my husband requests his lawyer file a motion to stop the divorce by Nov 1 and work on our marriage. My heart is so broken, praying for a miracle.
Praying that you two will seek the Lord and are able to work things out and that your marriage does not end in divorce. Praying for you to trust God and let Him heal the broken pieces of your heart. May you find that once this season has passed, all that you have been through was with it because it brought Him glory.
Please pray for a transformation and miracle restoration of my marriage. My wife, a Christian like me, moved out a year ago and wants to divorce. I desire a return to the series of counseling sessions that we never completed because life had got too busy, as there was so much hope in them. The whole thing is incredibly stressful, and is impacting me daily. I believe God’s will is for us to be together. I want us both to be led to God and for her heart to be softened to the idea of coming back together again.
Praying that both of you will seek the Lord and honor His will and desires for your lives and marriage. And if counseling is needed, may you be able to find a godly counselor that encourages both of you to do all that is possible to save your marriage. May both of you make your marriage a priority and give it your all before calling it quits.
Thank you for being available to pray. I’m seeking prayer that my wife is healed in her heart and mind from the pain, trauma, and betrayal of our marriage caused by me and my infidelity. Please pray that she is healed and our marriage is healed. Pray that our marriage is restored and we never separate again. My hope, my trust, and my faith is in Jesus Christ. Thank you.
Praying that you are both working with the Holy Spirit to restore your marriage- that you are both doing your part. Praying that counseling and conversations are taking place to get to the root of the issue/issues and the appropriate boundaries and guidelines are in place so that you both and your marriage remain a priority in your lives. May you be truly repentant and you both continue to seek God and draw closer to Him day by day.
Please pray for me and my husband. We are having serious challenges in our marriage and are heading for Divorce. He has a new partner. This has been going on for a year. I do not want to get divorced and he seems unsure. Please pray; I need every prayer I can get to save this marriage for me and my kids.
Praying for your husband to end his relationship with his partner and focus all of his efforts, time and energy on God, you and your marriage. Also praying that you will continue to seek God. May you both come to the realization your love and marriage are worth saving and doing all you can to save it.
Please pray for Josh and Rachel’s marriage. They have been married for 16 years and have 5 kids, ranging in age from 16 to 2. I do not know all of the issues of their marriage, but I do know Rachel’s heart has hardened. They are separated and Josh does want to save the marriage and Rachel does not. Her mother is kinda encouraging her to divorce. There is no abuse, addictions or infidelity. Josh is from a divorced family and Rachel is not. They’re weighing heavy on me because all I can think about is those 5 children.
Thank you so much for praying. We have a program at our church called Marriage Mentors but Rachel is not receptive to giving it a try.
Praying for Rachel’s heart to be softened and she experiences God’s love in a way that makes her want to cling and fight for her marriage and family. Praying that Josh will not give up, but continue to trust God and do all he can as led by the Holy Spirit to save his marriage.
