Prayers for Married Couples
Prayer #1
Father God, release your heavenly angels to minister your grace and mercy. Bring unity where there is division, love where there is coldness, understanding where there is confusion, compassion where there is the hardness of heart, and restoration where there is brokenness. For those who do not know you as Lord and Savior, open their eyes and hearts to know that they need you in their lives.
To those who are backslidden, bring them back to the cross of Jesus Christ. Right now, we decree that every work of darkness be revealed and the light of Jesus Christ shine in every dark place. We drive a wedge between every spirit of adultery. Let them find no joy or peace in the sin. We frustrate every relation that is not of you. Lord, drive that mistress away.
Drive that man that is not her spouse away. Cause them to despise each other and let them find no comfort in their bed of sin. Lord, send your Holy Spirit and let those in adultery have no rest from your convicting presence. Touch each hardened heart and open the eyes of those deceived.
Bring restoration. Heal the broken hearts and pour in your healing oil. Bring this marriage back together and allow them to find trust and love again. Lord, know that you have heard this prayer, and we believe the Holy Spirit is moving in the lives of these couples and these families. We praise you for the victory and what you are doing right now, in Jesus’s name. Amen.
Prayer #2
Lord, we ask that you comfort this family in their time of sadness. Pour in the oil and wine, and may your peace cover their minds, bodies, souls, and homes. We rebuke the spirit of darkness and come against every demonic spirit. We come against division, anger, abuse, adultery, indifference, abandonment, and despair.
Lord, you have ordained marriage; by this covenant, you have made them one flesh. We take authority over the enemy that comes to kill, steal, and destroy their union. Give them the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.
Lord, protect and comfort the children, Be with them, and guide them. Cause them to feel your love. Put angles around them and give them joy in the spirit of what is happening around them. Father, we know that no weapon formed against them shall prosper.
Father, if they are not saved. If they do not know you as Savior, draw them by your Spirit. Send people to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with them. Remove the scales from their eyes and hearts and let them see there is a better way to live.
Lord, cause them to see the error or their ways. Lord, Bring forgiveness, healing, and restoration. Father, cause them to make you the head of their home. Cause them to have a true relationship with you and each other. Let bring peace to this marriage. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
