Prayer to save a marriage
A prayer to save a marriage
(a prayer asking God to help a marriage in difficulty and in danger of divorce)
Father God,
Thank you that your promises are true and that you are with us. You love us, you care for us. We confess to you the brokenness we feel about our relationship. We know you see us clearly, you walk with us in good times and through harsh places. So many things seem to be difficult in our marriage. We come into conflict so easily. We no longer feel safe, secure or hopeful about our union. Please show us by your spirit where to start on mending the bond between us. Help us to begin by seeing how we can find forgiveness and trust again. Lord, come shine your love like a light into our hearts. Help us to peel away the pressures, the disappointments, the resentments and to rediscover each other.
Please lead us into a new season, where the flame of our love is rekindled, and hope stirs in our hearts for a bright and beautiful future together.
In Jesus name,
Amen.
