In times of confusion and difficulty, we find solace and wisdom in Your Word. We ask that You speak words of guidance and transformation to our friend's spouse through the following verses:

Father, we pray that You would help our friend's spouse to trust in You completely. May they surrender their own understanding and submit to Your guidance in their marriage. As they do so, we believe that You will lead them on straight paths, restoring their relationship.
4. "Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." - Psalm 51:10
Lord, we ask that You create a pure heart within our friend's spouse. Remove any impurity or selfishness that may hinder their ability to love and understand their beloved spouse. Renew their spirit, making it steadfast and committed to the growth and restoration of their marriage.
