Almighty Father, You are our guiding light and our source of hope, especially in times of brokenness. While my spouse and I were falling apart, there were heartaches, moments of doubt, and regretful memories that weakened our spirit. We were losing trust because of unresolved conflicts within our relationship. Now that we are gathering ourselves piece by piece in this marriage, we ask for forgiveness in those times that we doubted You in our lives and when we allowed anger and hate to grow in us. Help us, dear Lord, to be one again. Help us to accept our imperfections. Allow us to accept the things that we cannot change, and teach us to love without conditions. Allow us to forgive each other so that we can move forward in our marriage. This we ask, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Dear Lord, as we restore our marriage piece by piece, we pray for protection from the acts of evil. Shield our marriage, Father, with Your steadfast love so that we will not be tempted to commit the same mistakes that led to our separation. Heal our wounds, Father, and let the scars remind us of Your miracle and grace. This we ask, in Your Mighty Name, Amen.

Our marriage is a promise to You- to honor You in our relationship, to reveal Your love through us, and to have You at the center of our marriage. But Father, we are in the most difficult time of our lives. Our separation has shaken the core of our faith and our trust in each other. As we open our hearts once more to a new start, allow us to be more understanding of each other’s feelings and thoughts as we try to reconnect and set aside our differences. Give us clarity and wisdom so that our hearts may remain open and forgiving. Father, do not allow us to become selfish and unwilling to accept each other’s thoughts. Guide us as we rebuild and restore our marriage. This we pray, Amen.

Thank You, Lord, for allowing us to see love and light in this darkest hour.

May we become more faithful and humble as we go through the process of restoration and healing. We are grateful for all that You’ve done for us, Father. We can never repay Your loving kindness, Your unfathomable grace, and the favors that You have given us. Lord, may we become good stewards of our renewed love for each other. This we pray, Amen.
