PRAYER FOR A TROUBLED MARRIAGE

Father, I come boldly before Your throne of grace to find help in this time of trouble in our marriage.
Your Word states that You are a very present help in times of trouble. So I look unto the hills (unto You), from
which comes our help. For I know our help comes only from You.
Father, I know that it is the thief (Satan) who comes to steal, kill, and bring destruction upon our marriage.
I recognize that he is the one that desires to steal our happiness and destroy our marriage. So I take authority
over Satan and every principality, demonic spirit, and spiritual wickedness in high places, and I bind them from
our marriage by the authority of the name of Jesus Christ!
Father, You said that what You have joined together, that we should allow no man, nor any demon in hell
to put asunder or separate. Father, I believe that You put us together; so I refuse to let the devil take hold and
destroy our marriage. I cast down every spirit of arguing, fussing, fighting, discord and division. I render these
spirits and every other demonic attack against our marriage to be helpless, powerless, inoperative and
ineffective against us.
I thank You, Father, that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God, to the pulling
down of strongholds, and casting down imaginations. Therefore, I pull down every stronghold of Satan in our
marriage; I cast down every wicked and demonic thought, imagination and influence against our marriage.
I enter into the strong man’s house (Satan) with one who is stronger than he, (the Lord, Jesus Christ), and I
take back what rightfully belong to us. I take back our peace, harmony, love, affection, and everything else
that God has given and promised us for our marriage. Satan, I decree that you are defeated in our marriage,
and you are under our feet. I decree all these things by the powerful, magnificent and invincible name of the
Lord Jesus Christ.
Father, I also thank You for the power and authority You have given to us to speak to our circumstances
and command them to be removed; therefore, I speak to this mountain of troubles in our marriage, and I
command them to be removed, uprooted, and cast into the sea. And even as Jesus spoke and calmed the
raging sea with the power of His Word, I also speak the Word of the Living God to this sea of troubles in our
marriage, and I command them to be at “Peace, and be still!”
I thank You, Father, that this satanic weapon formed against us shall not prosper, and every tongue that
rises against us shall be exposed and brought to an open shame. I thank You for contending with the enemy
as he contends with us through this attack. You fight on our behalf and rebuke the devourer from our marriage,
for our sake.
Father, You said You would perfect that which concerns us; and You know these troubles concern us.
So I pray that You would perfect our marriage from these troubles, and bless our marriage to mature in Christ.
Lord, You are our Shepherd, and as our Shepherd, I pray that You would help us reject the voice of the
stranger (Satan), and instead follow Your voice (our Great Shepherd). Therefore, I cast down every thought
and imagination of separation, infidelity, unfaithfulness, and divorce; and I thank You that neither my spouse
nor I shall listen to the voice of Satan.
Father, You said that the effectual, fervent prayers of a righteous man avail much. I know that I am not
righteous of my own works, but I am made righteous through Jesus Christ. Therefore, I thank You that my
prayers for our marriage avail much in victory.
Lord, bless our love to grow stronger and stronger for You and one another. And as our love grows, give
us a desire to please You and each other more and more. As we find faults and shortcomings in each other,
help us be patient with one another, and bless our love to overcome our faults and differences. For Your Word
says that love covers a multitude of faults.
Father, You instructed us to always remember our first love. So I pray that You would bless us to
remember how it was when we first met. Restore and revive that same first love affection and desire within our
hearts, and help us to keep our love continually stirred passionately for one another.

I pray that You would help us not to become conformed to what Satan would have us to see in each other,
but bless us to rather, become transformed and renewed daily to see what You would have us to see in each
other.
May You renew our minds so that we see each other as exciting, attractive, sensuous, and more desirable
than ever before. Bless us to care about what pleases each other, help us become more sensitive to each
other’s needs and desires, and help us not to be selfish, but rather giving to one another.
I pray that You would help us to walk in unity and agreement. Help us both speak the same things (in the
spirit of unity) and be on one accord in Christ.
I thank You for the peace of God in our marriage – Your peace that passes all understanding. Keep us in
Your perfect peace (rather than confusion and contention), and help us keep our eyes and minds stayed upon
You.
Now Father, I thank You for Your Word. Your Word does not return unto You void, but it accomplishes that
in which You send it to perform. So as I have prayed Your Word through this prayer, I thank You for our
victory, deliverance, restoration and reconciliation. I give You all the glory, honor and praise for what You have
already done (by faith), and for what You shall continue to do in our marriage. In the name of Jesus Christ I
pray. AMEN!
