We understand that you're seeking clarity and restoration for your marriage, and we're here to pray with you and offer biblical guidance.
Firstly, we commend you for turning to Jesus and the Holy Spirit for strength and clarity. It's crucial to remember that God's will is for marriages to be strong and lasting, as seen in Matthew 19:6, "So they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."
However, it's also important to examine your marriage in light of biblical principles. Both husbands and wives have specific roles and responsibilities. Wives are called to submit to their husbands as the church submits to Christ, and husbands are called to love their wives as Christ loved the church (Ephesians 5:22-33). Both should strive to outdo one another in showing honor (Romans 12:10).
Let's pray together:
"Father, we come before you in Jesus' name, lifting up this marriage to you. We ask for your will to be done, and for your healing and restoring power to flow into this situation. Give clarity and wisdom to both husband and wife, that they may understand your purpose for their marriage. Fill them with your Holy Spirit, that they may have the strength and love to serve and honor each other as you intend. Help them to be humble and teachable, willing to change and grow together. We ask for your mercy and grace to be poured out upon them and their family. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you to continue praying and studying the scriptures together as a couple, seeking God's will for your marriage. Remember that God can restore and rebuild what may seem broken (Joel 2:25). Trust in Him, and He will guide you both.
If there are any areas in your marriage that are not aligning with biblical principles, we urge you to address them with humility and a willingness to change. If there has been any sin, remember that God offers forgiveness and restoration through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ (1 John 1:9). If there is anything that is not aligning with biblical principles, pray for conviction from the Holy Spirit. It is better to be single than to be married in sin.
