Divine Help Prayer
Father God, there is disharmony in our relationship. We have tried to reconnect, but things seem to be getting worse. Lord, you say in your word that two are better than one, and I believe this to be true. But God, right now, we are on the verge of a divorce and desperately need divine intervention to salvage our marriage. Rekindle our love so that we can remain as one. War on our behalf.

In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.

Prayer for Better Communication
Father in heaven, heal our marriage today. Hurtful words have been said in our marriage, and I ask that you would help us heal from those wounds. Please help us communicate with one another in a better way. May we both learn to choose our words carefully, and may we be ready to overlook each other’s faults for the careless words that we speak. Dear God, let your Spirit direct our conversations with one another. Clear our minds that we may get a better insight into what the other person is saying. Help us to listen more, listen first, talk later, and even talk less. Help us be more considerate and loving when we speak to each other. Amen.

In Your Hands Prayer
Father, give us peace as a couple. We argue and just don’t get along with each other. I am not even sure we like each other anymore. We have done everything that we know how to do so we can keep our relationship together. But Father, we need to stop doing things our own way and start doing things your way. Show us your way. Guide our thoughts and our actions. Father, we know that your grace is sufficient for us as a couple. We have the confidence that we will have victory as a couple because we put our relationship in your hands. Our trust is in you. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Prayer for Intimacy
Gracious God, please help me in my marriage today. There’s a great distance between me and my spouse, and we are both struggling to keep this marriage together. Oh, Lord, revive our desire for intimacy in this marriage. Whatever is hindering us from drawing close to each other, please remove it. Help us see those blind spots and those walls that we must break down so we can be closer to one another. Break down our pride, selfishness, and even passiveness. Help us take charge of this relationship and do whatever it takes to connect and cling to each other. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Peace in Relationship Prayer
Dear God, we are going through one of the most challenging times in our relationship. Love and respect have been replaced by arguments and mistrust. Father, I am full of resentment, and so is my partner. Take away these feelings of resentment and give us peace and joy. Let peace reign when we communicate with each other. Let your spirit take control of our relationship. May we do things that are pleasing to you as a couple. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Prayer for Unity
Dear God, please heal my marriage today. Unite us in mind and spirit. I know that we have our differences, and we don’t always think the same way about things. But I ask that you would bless our marriage with oneness. Give us the wisdom to bridge the gap that’s ripping our marriage apart. I ask that where there is disagreement, may we learn to compromise and agree to let the better idea and right perspective win. Help us learn to be humble and listen to each other. Father, please unite us today and heal our struggling marriage. Amen.

Understanding Prayer
Father God, I am struggling to understand my husband, and he doesn’t understand me either. Things between us do not seem to be working. But Father God, I know that nothing is impossible with you. You know us inside and out. You know our hurts and pains and how to mend our broken hearts. Help us to understand each other. Remove any preconceived assumptions we have about each other from our hearts. Help us to see each other the way you see us. Bring us closer together than we were before. Thank you, Lord, for answering our prayers. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Grant us the grace to follow what you tell us to do. Fill us with the courage to step out of our comfort zones and what the world calls “normal” so that we can represent the kingdom and glorify your holy name. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Healing for a Hurting Marriage Prayer
Father, we come to you knowing that you are all-powerful in every situation. We know that you put us together as a family, as you said in your word that, “the two shall become one flesh.” This marriage was started by you, now please help us strengthen our marriage. We are grieving today, Lord, for we have hurt you by taking our marriage lightly. We have not treated each other as we should have. Help us get back on the right path and be obedient to your word, for your word is a light on our path. Speak to us in that still, small voice. Comfort us with your Holy Spirit. Thank you for your healing, Lord. Amen.

Prayer to Give It Up to the Lord
Lord, I have not always allowed you to guide my relationship with my spouse. I come to you to repent of that. Take control of my spouse, because I cannot do so. Sometimes I feel that I have lost control, and that makes me anxious. But, Lord, I know that you are still in control, because your word says so. Because you know what to do, I surrender my desire to know everything. Please guide me in what I should do. Speak to him/her, in times when I cannot do it. Allow him/her to hear your voice, and give me patience so that I can love him/her as I should, with the love that you first gave me. Thank you, Lord. Amen.

Prayer for God’s Perfect Plan
Lord, you are the faithful one. We are sad because our marriage doesn’t seem to be working out the way we had planned. The problem is that we did not rely on your will, but our plans instead. We want to be strong, but we are weak. The apostle Paul said that your grace is sufficient, and that your power is made perfect when we are weak. So help us to be weak in your presence. We want to hear your voice, not our own desires. Teach us to love your word, not the words of the world. Thank you, Lord. Amen.

Prayer of a Rejected Spouse
Lord, I am struggling today. Struggling to love my husband/wife. The pain of rejection is impossible to bear, but I know that you experienced this pain countless times. Teach me the secret of loving someone who doesn’t love in return. Give me the grace that you yourself gave so many times. I want to restore this marriage, because it was founded on your promise to make the two into one flesh. I know that he/she is your child, prone to follow the flesh, just like I am. Teach me, Lord, for I am listening. Amen.

Prayer for Loss of Trust in a Marriage
Lord, I come to you today as my trustworthy Father. Lately, I have lost all trust in my husband/wife, but I pray that I can learn to trust again. I know that he/she has made mistakes, just as I have. Teach me to have confidence again, knowing that he/she is not perfect, but you are. Show me how to have grace, as you do. It was you who put us together, so I know that you can make us whole again. Thank you, Lord. Amen.

Prayer for a Hurting Spouse
Father, I come to you today for my spouse, and ask that you would help him/her. He/she is in pain, and this pain is affecting our relationship. He/she is confused, O Lord, but you are not the author of confusion. You are the author of a sound mind. Please give my spouse confidence that you are the great Healer, our Rock and Advocate. I know that he/she believes in you, but my spouse is struggling to open up to me. Lord, I place all my worries about him/her into your hands. You are our refuge and our strength, our very present help in trouble. I will not fear, though everything around me is shaken. Thank you, Lord. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Prayer for Assurance in Uncertain Times
Lord, these days are so scary in our marriage. While we don’t know what the future looks like for us, we know that you hold our future. It seems that we have so many problems and that the very foundation of our marriage is so fragile now. But you are our rock and fortress, and you will lead and guide us. Teach us to trust in you, even when our life is uncertain. Thank you, Lord, for this great assurance, that you will never leave nor forsake us. Fill us with your Holy Spirit, that we may rest at peace in you. Thank you, Lord. In Jesus’ name, amen.
