Prayers for Marriages
When we need to pray for marriages
Our prayer focus will be on marriages. Singles if you desire marriage I urge you to pray for your marriage as well. Let these prayers be waiting for you in the future when you get there.
1) Thanksgiving and praise: He has kept us alive another month. Thank God for his faithfulness, and for your marriage. If you are hoping to get married someday thank him in advance. He makes all things beautiful in their time. Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
Psalm 118:1 “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.”
Offer up a Prayer of Thanksgiving to the Lord
*
Father today we bless your name. You have brought us to the end of this month only by your grace. You have been merciful and kind, and have not kept a record of our wrongs. When we have repented you have forgiven us, and thrown those sins into the sea of forgetfulness. We bless your name because we have a clean slate before you. Your mercies towards us are new every morning. Hallelujah!!
Thank you because marriage is your idea and it is a phenomenal idea. Thank you for my marriage. I bless you because you have brought us through. We have faced our challenges but here we are. Thank you for the love you have given us for each other and the ability to forgive and reconcile quickly so we can keep walking together in unity.
Today we worship you Lord in the beauty of holiness. You are holy and those who serve you must be holy as you are holy. You have called us into your presence and you have made us worthy to stand before you. Thank you because you have clothed us in your own righteousness and now we can worship you in spirit and in truth. Be lifted up this day mighty God. Be highly exalted in our lives and in all the earth, for the earth is yours and the fullness thereof. In Jesus mighty name!
2) Repentance. Let us repent for our sins both known and unknown. Repent for sins you have committed against your spouse, for ungodly attitudes, impure thoughts, negative words spoken etc… Focus in on your marriage and repent of whatever the Spirit of God convicts you of, that times of refreshing may come to your marriage from the presence of the Lord.
Acts 3:19 “Therefore REPENT AND RETURN, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;”
*
Father today we humble ourselves before you and repent of all our sins, transgressions, and iniquity in Jesus name. We have sinned in our thoughts, the meditations of our hearts, the words we have spoken and in deed. Forgive us we pray, sanctify us by the blood of your son Jesus Christ. Then we will be white as snow and can be consecrated to you for holy use.
We repent of sins we have committed against our spouses. Where we have thought evil of them, and held ungodly attitudes towards them. Forgive us for pride and hard heartedness that has made forgiveness and reconciliation difficult. Forgive us for speaking negative words to ourselves about our spouses, to others, and even directly to our spouses. We have spoken harsh and unkind words and have not demonstrated the love of God.
Forgive our wrong actions towards our spouses. Forgive where we have been abusive to our spouses – mentally, emotionally, and physically. Where we have not put their needs ahead of our own. Where we have thought of ourselves more highly than we ought, and have looked down our noses at our spouses. Forgive where we have been in the home to be served and not to serve. Forgive where we have not pulled our own weight and have unduly burdened our spouses. We need your help to do better Lord. Help us in Jesus name.
We repent for following after worldly ways of doing marriage and we return to your will and your way. After all marriage is your idea, you alone have the blueprint for it. As we return to you and to your way in the area of marriage, we ask that you will release to us times of refreshing so that we can enjoy rest in our marriages in Jesus name. We thank you and we bless you because we know that you only want the best for us. We commit to do marriage your way, and we shall indeed enjoy the good of this land in Jesus mighty name.
3) INTERCEDE FOR YOUR MARITAL DESTINY. Pray that God who holds all things together will uphold your marital destiny in Jesus name. That your marriage will fulfill its purpose in God, it’s destiny. God is purposeful in all that he does. He brought you two together for a purpose and you must fulfill that purpose in Jesus name.
Hebrews 1:3a “The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His nature, UPHOLDING ALL THINGS by His powerful word…”
*
Father we know that you do all things with and for a purpose. So purposeful are you with our lives that all the days appointed for us were written in your book before any of them came to be. You knew who we would marry, and you have brought us together for a reason. Even those who feel that they made a mistake, or that they did not consult you before marrying, have the assurance that you redeem all things. Even that which the devil intended for evil, you turn around for good. Hallelujah!!
Our marriages are for purpose heavenly Father, and we know that the devil always tries to bring conflict between husband and wife so that we will not fulfill our marital destiny. Today we declare in the name of Jesus Christ, that no machination of hell will thwart the destiny and plan of God for our marriages. The gates of hell shall not prevail against us and no weapon fashioned against us will prevail. We commit our marriages to you and declare that in the name of Jesus Christ they will be upheld by your powerful word!
You have given us power to trample on snakes and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy. Today we use the authority and power that is in the name of Jesus Christ to trample the enemy of our marriages underfoot. We render him powerless in Jesus name and declare victory in our marriages in Jesus name. Our marriages shall stand and they shall accomplish the purpose for which God established them in Jesus name. Glory to God!
4) Come against the spirit of separation, divorce and remarriage.
Pray against family cycles and patterns of divorce and remarriage, break and release yourself from curses of separation and divorce in Jesus name. Tear down family / ancestral altars (for your family and your spouse’s family) that are affecting your marital destiny in Jesus name. Annul those covenants, silence those sacrifices, gifts and offerings that are speaking against your marriage right now. Shut every door of access that the enemy has been using to mess with your marriage and take away his legal right to mess with you.
Also come against the spirits of strife and offence that cause unwarranted arguments and disagreements. If you can’t seem to agree on anything these two are at work. Rebuke also spirits of anger, pride, unforgiveness, and bitterness. Uproot any root of bitterness that currently exists.
Rebuke the spirit of sexual immorality that manifests in insatiable lust, pornography, masturbation, adultery, flirting, and polygamy.
Malachi 2:16 “For I hate divorce!” says the Lord, the God of Israel. “To divorce your wife is to overwhelm her with cruelty,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. “So guard your heart; do not be unfaithful to your wife.”
*
When the enemy breaks out like a flood the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him. Thank you Lord because the battle standard is raised in Jesus name. We come against the Spirit of divorce and remarriage in Jesus name and we declare that we shall not fall prey to it. We cancel family cycles of divorce and remarriage in Jesus name. Yes! We draw a line and decree so far and no further in Jesus name. These cycles shall not affect us, and they shall not move down to our children either, in Jesus name.
We tear down every ancestral altar that is speaking against our marriages in Jesus name. We silence every sacrifice, offering, and gift that is speaking against our marriages in Jesus name, and we annul and free ourselves from ancestral covenants that tied in our marriages and children in Jesus name. We shut every portal of demonic access of the enemy given by these altars and we remove the legal right of the enemy to afflict our marriages in Jesus name. We declare it is finished and we send to the pit the spirits that were assigned the work of enforcing the terms of these ungodly covenants in the name of Jesus Christ.
We come against every spirit of offence and strife that has caused disagreement in our homes. We cast them out of our marriages and our lives in Jesus name. We will walk in agreement because two cannot walk together unless they agree. We come against spirits of pride and anger that have hindered forgiveness and reconciliation, and by so doing we have given the devil an advantage over us. We cast them out of our lives in Jesus name. Any root of bitterness is uprooted now in Jesus name. Neither spouse shall live with bitterness against the other.
We come against the operation of the spirit of sexual immorality in our marriages that manifests as insatiable lust, pornography, masturbation, adultery, flirting, homosexuality, and polygamy among other perversions and vices. We cast out this spirit that leads to infidelity in the name of Jesus Christ. We decree that our marriages shall be free of the devil’s meddling, and when he tries we will recognize his meddling quickly and deal with it swiftly. We shall live out our marriages as God intended.
We welcome the Holy Spirit to be a guide on this journey. We will be satisfied drinking water from our own cisterns. We will rejoice in the spouse of our youth. We shall no longer be trapped in demonic patterns and cycles in Jesus name. It is for freedom that Christ set us free and we are free. Hallelujah!
