Dear God,

Please help me to be the person that you want me to be, the person that my wife will fall in love with again. Please open our hearts to one another and let the divorce proceedings stop. Please help open our hearts to forgiveness, to love, to understanding. Please protect our children through this time.

Please forgive both of us for the wrongs that we have committed to one another and to You, Father. For not treating each other the way that You intended - for not showing true, unconditional love. Help us to grow close to one another and to You, Father.
