We hear your heart's cry and stand with you in prayer, seeking God's will for your marriage. The Bible tells us, "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you." (Ephesians 4:31-32 WEB).
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up this dear sister and her marriage. Lord, You know the struggles they are facing, the bitterness, resentment, and unforgiveness that have clouded their union. We pray that You would heal their hearts and draw them closer to You and to each other.
Lord, make her into a wife who blesses her husband with her thoughts, words, and actions. Grant her the grace and wisdom to speak life and encouragement into her husband's heart. And Lord, we pray for her husband, that You would help him to leave his mother and cleave to his wife, as Your Word instructs (Genesis 2:24 WEB). Reveal to him any wounds that may be causing generational pain and help him to find healing and freedom in Your presence.
Father, we ask that You would soften his heart and open his eyes to the power of true forgiveness and grace. Knock down any strongholds of pride and self-righteousness, and make him a humble man of Christ. Help him to understand the depth of Your love and mercy, and to extend that same love and mercy to his wife.
In Jesus' name, we pray for unity, understanding, and healing in their marriage. We rebuke the spirit of division and strife, and we declare that their marriage will be a testimony of Your love and faithfulness. Amen.
Sister, continue to trust in the Lord and lean not on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5 WEB). Keep praying and believing for your husband, and remember that the fervent, effective prayer of a righteous person accomplishes much (James 5:16 WEB).
Lastly, we notice that your request does not mention the name of Jesus. It is only through His name that we have access to God's throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16 WEB). If you have not already, we encourage you to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12 WEB). Believe in Him, confess your sins, and you will find forgiveness, peace, and new life in His name.
