3 Prayers for marriage restoration

Prayer can be significant in marriage restoration as it can help a couple build strength and give guidance from God during a very emotional time in life. In this article, I will provide 3 prayers for marriage restoration. As Christians, we need prayer in our lives.

It shows our faith and helps improve our relationship with God and others. It also allows God to move in our lives. When it comes to prayer in the hope of restoring our marriage, we can put our faith in Jesus and ask for the strength and perseverance to make it through.

Psalm 126:1-6 is an excellent example of God’s restoring healing power, written when the Jewish exiles returned from captivity. 

“When the Lord brought back his exiles to Jerusalem, it was like a dream! We were filled with laughter, and we sang for joy. And the other nations said, “What amazing things the Lord has done for them.” Yes, the Lord has done amazing things for us! What joy! Restore our fortunes, Lord, as streams renew the desert. Those who plant in tears will harvest with shouts of joy. They weep as they go to plant their seed, and they sing as they return with the harvest. 

This can be our story too. Our tears can turn to shouts of joy. We may weep for a time, but there is a time of harvest. God can restore, and we can trust Him for restoration, and when that harvest comes, we can sing in praise to the Lord. 

Here are a few reasons why prayer is important:

1) Connection with God-

• Prayer can help build our relationship with God and help us see his healing power in our lives. It can improve your faith and can bring a softness to your marriage.  

2) Humility-

• Prayer builds humility. It helps us to see our faults and areas in our life that we may be blind to that need work, which then can bring restoration to our marriage. We can admit that we need help. There is a tenderness to seeing your spouse humble themselves in front of you and the Lord.

3) Forgiveness-

• Prayer can help us to forgive, even when it is hard. It also brings us to ask for forgiveness of our sins and helps restore our marriage, let go of anger and move forward. 

4) Unity-

• Prayer brings unity to a marriage. When you can take time to pray together, it builds a connection with each other and God. 

5) Hope-

• Prayer gives us hope for a better future. And the knowledge that God has good things in store for us, loves us and will care for us. Trust in God’s plan for your marriage.

Reconciliation can lead to a happy and healthy marriage once again. And with prayer and God’s help, we can repair the damage that has occurred and resolve conflicts. Married life isn’t easy, and it’s a lifelong commitment. We need reconciliation to make our marriage new and bring life again.

Prayer for renewal

Dear Jesus,

Please, God, restore and renew our marriage. We ask for new life. A new heartbeat in our souls—fresh breath in our lungs. We have been dead for some time. You say to everything there is a season. As stated in Ecclesiastes 3:1-5

A Time for Everything

 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
 a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,

We pray it is our time to heal, build, laugh, and dance. We pray to embrace each other once again with loving arms. Dear God, all our hopes are in you. We pray these 3 marriage restoration prayers in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

Please help us to forgive and not dwell on the past. Help us love each other again and show us ways to reignite our passion for our spouse. You say the old is gone, and the new is here. We are ready, Lord.

Please help us to believe and walk in your truth. Please help us to learn from our past mistakes. We desire to renew our commitment to one another. Thank you, God, for all your blessings and for giving us hope for a better and brighter future. Will you help us create a fresh start and renewed intimacy? We ask all this in Jesus name. Amen.
