SOO many marriages are going through something right now; but help us to hold on to Your promises, so that we can walk out of the fire not smelling like smoke and with the victory in full manifestation. Lord, FROM MY HEART do i just speak, declare, and pray Your Word simultaneously for them; for it WILL NOT return to You unfulfilled.

HEBREWS 13:4 -
Father, let their marriage bed be undefiled and may they remember to hold it (to utilize it as a place of oneness and comfort); and to hold it in honor.

1 Peter 3:1-11
Father, may the wife feel for her husband all the reverence she is supposed to. Father may the husband live considerately with his wife, honoring her too. Father, may they be of one and the same united mind, sympathizing with each other, loving each other, being compassionate and courteous and tenderhearted and humble; never returning evil for evil or insult for insult, but may they be able to pray together and bless You Lord for the other, in Jesus name - for this is the thing that this Word says that they have been called to do. May they turn from any wicked thing and shun it. May they seek peace, harmony, undisturbedness from fears and agitations and moral conflicts.

RUTH 3:11-13 and HOSEA 2:18-20
Father, may they remember these beautiful vows of covenant - that in one way or another, they declared at their union. May they remember their pledge to honor and keep them, in Jesus name. Refresh their vows for them in their hearts oh God.

Ephesians 5:21
Lord, may they both submit to each other, because of their love for You oh God, in Jesus name.

Ephesians 4:31-32
Father in the name of Jesus, let all bitterness and indignation and wrath, rage, bad temper, and resentment be banished from their lives together in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Father, may they become useful and helpful and kind to one another, tenderheared, compassionate, understanding and more forgiving, more tolerable of one another - READY to overlook the offenses of the other.

Ephesians 2:14-16
Oh Father, PLEASE, I BESEECH YOU IN JESUS NAME, Tear down the dividing wall that separates them in Jesus name. You are their peace. Abolish the enmity that keeps them separate and create in them for Yourself one new man oh God, so making peace. Reconcile them oh God, and bring the feud to an end God, please - in Jesus name. Soften, melt, turn to flesh their hearts oh God.

1 Corinthians 13
Father, may they be patient, be kind, not envy each other or others; may they not treat each other rudely, and may they not be self-seeking for only getting their needs met. Lord may not be so easily angered any more in Jesus name. Lord may they persevere, and always seek to protect the physical body, the name, the heart, and the spirit of the other, in Jesus name. Amen.

Colossians 2:2-7
Father, our concern is that their hearts may be braced, comforted, cheered and encouraged Lord, AS You are knitting them back together in love with one another, so that they can come to have all the abounding wealth (wisdom, knowledge and even financial blessings) that You have in store for them. Father may they become more progressively and intimately acquainted not just with each other, but with You Lord. Lord may they stand shoulder to shoulder one against in faith - leaning their entire personalities and marriage on You and You alone. Father, teach them once again, how to regulate their lives and their conduct in union with each other and with You. Father, may the roots of their love be firmly planted; may they be built up CONTINUALLY in You Lord - may they become increasingly more confirmed and established and secure. In their marriage, in each other, in who You call them to be, and in their faith in You, JUST AS YOU'VE TAUGHT THEM. And may they do it all with thanksgiving overflowing from their hearts. In Jesus name.

Proverbs 29:18
Give them a vision Lord, Your vision of how You see their lives together until eternity. Without this snapshot from You Father, this word declares that "the marriage" will flounder. We don't want their marriage to perish God, or anyone else's marriage to perish. In Jesus name.

Ecclesiastes 3:14
Father, marriage is from You and this praying mother that posted this request believes that You put them together. And Father we know according to the Spirit of this word that "whatever God You do God, whatever You have joined together, it is designed to withstand winds and rain and it is well able to last forever. Father let nothing good and wholesome be taken from this marriage. Let no evil influence be added to it. In Jesus name.

2 Corinthians 2:7-11
Father, help them to turn and graciously forgive each other and comfort one another and encourage one another, to keep each other from being overwhelmed, stressed, sorrowful or depressed. Father, may they reinstate each other in their affections and may they ASSURE each other of their love for one another. PLEASE GOD. Help us all. Father, for You allow things in our lives to teach us obedience to You and to show us, us; that we may see if we are altogether agreeable in following Your orders, suggestions, promptings and teachings in everything. Father, let satan not get the advantage over them, in Jesus name. Amen. Please.


To the mother that posted this prayer request - bless YOU for wanting to not give up on this marriage. i would encourage you to read and declare the scriptures above, and all the others the Holy Spirit would show you in your bible. Follow the promptings of the Spirit of the Lord as you read Ezekiel 37:16-28. Do not be afraid. It is not "magic", it is the word of the Lord. In my own marriage, ive written (a few times) on small pieces of paper the words of verse 16 and intertwined them together and worn them as a covenant ring. I've declared many times verses 21-28. You're simply declaring for them a new covenant of peace, righteousness, holiness and understanding. We are to stand in the gap for those who can't or don't know (how) to stand for themselves. The Lord loves us, and He blesses us when honor His institution of marriage.

Father, thank You for giving us Your ear and thank You for giving us Your scriptures. Now help us to believe and not to doubt in our hearts Lord. We trust You and Your word Father. In Jesus name. Amen.
