Pray for Marriages (Crushed by the Deviant or Addicted)

Greetings Prayer Warriors,

A good marriage is a beautiful thing to behold and we should praise God for every one of them.  However, it is the horrendous marriages that need our help the most.  Our prayer is that they one day become great!

Many factors can make a marriage difficult, but when one of the spouses struggles with deviant behaviors or addictions such as alcohol, drugs, pornography, adultery, pathological lying, and fill-in-the-blank), the other spouse suffers greatly. 

Let us pray for those spouses feeling trapped, alone, lost, hopeless, afraid, crushed, angry, burdened, abandoned, bewildered, and betrayed.

The righteous cry out, the LORD hears and he rescues them from all their afflictions. The LORD is close to the brokenhearted, saves those whose spirit is crushed. Psalm 34:18-19

Lord, we come before you pleading for your mercy upon the difficult marriages facing so many of our brothers and sisters in Christ.  Hold them close, lift their spirits, guide their feet, renew their voices, strengthen their resolve, and calm their fears.  Bind the wounds inflicted upon their marriage and cure the addictions and destructive behaviors of their spouses.  O Divine Physician, pour your Spirit upon them and heal the memories that seek to prevent reunification.  Raise them up, renewed by the gift of your love.  As each of our prayers rise up to the heavens, know that we will forever trust in your mercy and compassion.  Amen.

“Behold, I make all things new.” Revelation 21:5

Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
