Prayer for a Troubled Marriage

Prayer for a deeply troubled marriage

When dealing with the turmoil of a troubled marriage we can quickly become consumed with feelings of helplessness and defeat.

Living stuck in a pattern of conflict, resentment, and anger is exhausting to say the least. It is not a place you want to stay but sometimes despite all of our best efforts we can feel ìstuckî in this disheartening cycle of brokenness.

Thankfully, no matter how utterly stuck we may feel God is able to heal and restore our relationships.

Matthew 19:26 says, ìBut Jesus looked at them and said, ìWith man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.î God is able to do immeasurably more than we could even imagine!

In our darkest hours of hurt and despair we can cry out to God and He is able to repair the things that are impossible to fix on our own.

When those all-too-familiar ugly feelings of negativity, unforgiveness, selfishness, and blame start to eat away at the love you have for your spouse--that is the moment to turn to scripture and prayer.

God gives us the power to have transformed minds! Isaiah 40:31 says, ìBut they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.î

Regardless of our best intentions, there will always be times when even the best marriage will experience problems and issues. Instead of running away or refusing to face these problems, we should instead run to God, who can make things right.

And since the institution of marriage is His product, it, therefore, makes perfect sense that the maker and designer of this great product be consulted when thereís a problem. God is the one who knows what is wrong with your marriage and how to fix it.

The Lord can rescue any marriage, no matter how close to the end it has come. For couples whose marriages are in trouble, sometimes marriage will be better off if it is permitted to go through extreme difficulty, almost to the point of signing divorce papers and saying goodbye. If yours is one such marriage, these prayers are for your comfort.

Do you feel like your marriage is in trouble? Perhaps your better half has left, your marriage is on the rocks, or you simply feel out of place with the person you are with. You value the marriage that you have with your husband or wife, and you honor and respect the vows that you took in front of God and witnesses. Despite the best of intentions, there are times when even the most perfect relationship has problems and issues.

By reciting the prayer in this app, you are asking God to intervene in your marriage and help you and your partner take steps to improve it. While you may be focused on a specific problem, healing and strengthening are needed in every area to rebuild the marital bond.
