We are truly saddened to hear about the struggles you and your friends are facing in your marriages, but we are here to pray and provide biblical encouragement. We will do this In Jesus Name (IJN). Remember, marriage is a sacred institution ordained by God, and it is meant to be a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman. As it says in the WEB, And the Creator God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him. Genesis 2:18.
In times of trouble, it is essential to turn to God and seek His guidance and strength. As it is written, Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7.
Let us pray together for your marriages:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up these marriages that are under attack. Lord, You know the struggles and challenges they are facing. We pray for Your divine intervention, that You would surround these couples with Your hedge of protection. We pray this In Jesus Name (IJN).
Grant them the strength and wisdom to navigate through these difficult times. Help them to remain steadfast in their commitment to each other and to You. Remind them of the vows they made before You and help them to honor those vows in every circumstance. Lord help them to remain pure and avoid fornication and adultery. Remind them that You hate divorce as it says in Malachi 2:16 in the WEB. It says For I hate divorce, says Yahweh, the God of Israel.
Guide them to seek Your will in all things and maintain a Christian marriage that honors the union of a man and a woman and not the ways of the world. In Jesus Name (IJN). Help them to be examples of godly marriages, that their lives may be a testimony to Your love and faithfulness.
We rebuke any spirits of division, strife, and discord that may be working against these marriages. We pray for unity, understanding, and a deepening of love between these couples. We ask all of this In Jesus Name (IJN). To avoid anyone thinking otherwise let us remember the words of Jesus in John 14:6 in the WEB. Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
We also offer thanksgiving and praise You, Lord, for You are faithful and true. We trust that You will work all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose.
In Jesus Name (IJN).
Amen.
Remember, sisters, to put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world rulers of this darkness, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:11-12.
Stand firm in your faith, and trust in the Lord. He is able to turn even the most difficult situations into opportunities for growth and blessing.
We commend you and responsible Christian counselors or pastors if further marriage support is needed. Please keep us informed of the situation so we can continue to pray specifically In Jesus Name (IJN) for your marriages.
