Prayer for Strength to Keep Marriage from Falling Apart
Dearest Lord, we offer You all that we are going through in our marriage. We are in a difficult time, Father because we are about to give up our marriage. Forgive us, Father, but we are planning to get a divorce. We thought that this separation is for our good, but we see that giving up is not a solution to solve our problems. We did not give each other the chance to speak and be listened to, the opportunity to grow as an individual, and most importantly, we failed to truly forgive our flaws and our mistakes. Father, we ask for strength as we would like to keep our marriage because we believe in our love, the kind of love that You show us. Strengthen our hearts to be more patient and understanding. Let us build a household that will glorify Your love. Do not let our marriage fall apart, Lord. This we pray, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Lord, as we face our battle in this difficult time, we ask for the protection of our marriage. We are faced with doubts and fears that this promise we have persistently worked hard for would end up in a divorce. Protect us, Father, from the doings of evil- loss of hope, unfaithfulness, unforgiving spirit, and temptations. We rebuke the works of evil, Lord. Keep us safe and away from them and allow our marriage to prosper amidst the circumstances. Guide us with Your grace, Lord, so that we can learn to forgive ourselves and continue this journey with You at the center of our relationship. While we restore this broken marriage, give us the wisdom to discern and make the right decisions. Guide our path as a married couple and allow us to see our purpose. This we pray, Amen.
