I hurt for broken and bruised marriages…

Abba, Father, the Highest God, there is none that compares to You. In my distress over couples we have been called to coach, I call out to You because marriages are falling apart.

Father, just as You stretched out Your hand against Judah and against the inhabitants of Jerusalem when they rebelled against You, please stretch out Your loving hand to restore these marriages.

Please resurrect the marriages for which we care. Give them life, love, and strength again. Crush the plans of the Devil to tear apart what You have joined together. In Jesus’s name.

Heal the broken reeds and restore life. This I pray in Jesus’ name who bound our lives together when we said, ‘I do.’ LORD, God, I still do until one of us lays the other in Your loving arms. Amen
