Heavenly Father,
I come before You in deep reverence and awe, exalting Your holy name above all names. You are the Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth, and the Sustainer of all life. “Lord, You are good, and Your mercy is everlasting; Your truth endures to all generations” (Psalm 100:5). “Great are You, Lord, and most worthy of praise; Your greatness no one can fathom” (Psalm 145:3). I praise You, Lord, for You are faithful to heal, restore, and deliver.
Today, I bring before You a marriage that is under the strain of pornography and lust. I pray for true repentance in the heart of this spouse, that they would come before You with humility and a sincere desire to turn away from sin. Just as Your Word declares, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9), I ask that You cleanse their heart, mind, and spirit. Let them find strength in Your grace to turn away from this sin, no longer conforming to the patterns of this world but being transformed by the renewing of their mind (Romans 12:2).
Lord, break the chains of this addiction and bring complete deliverance. Your Word assures us, “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can endure it” (1 Corinthians 10:13). Provide this way out for this spouse, and renew their heart and mind to walk in purity and holiness before You.
I pray for forgiveness and restoration within their marriage. Let them both embrace Your command in Ephesians 4:32 to “be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” As they release any bitterness, anger, or hurt, may their hearts be healed, and may they come together with renewed love and commitment.
Lord, protect this marriage from the snares of infidelity and any further interference from the enemy. Shield this union with Your mighty power and grant them strength to “guard their hearts, for everything flows from it” (Proverbs 4:23). May they honor the vows they took before You, understanding the sacredness of their covenant and reflecting the love that Christ has for His Church (Ephesians 5:25-27).
Strengthen their bond, Lord, by becoming the third cord that is not easily broken (Ecclesiastes 4:12). Draw them closer to You and to each other, giving them a fresh revelation of the divine covenant of marriage. Reignite their hearts with love, helping them to see each other through Your eyes—renewed, beloved, and whole.
I pray that You fill their hearts with mutual love, respect, and admiration, which comes from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith (1 Timothy 1:5). Restore intimacy and trust, rebuilding what has been broken, and let them walk together in newness of life, clothed in dignity and strength (Colossians 3:10-12), with Your peace ruling in their hearts (Colossians 3:15).
Thank You, Father, for Your unwavering love and mercy. I trust in Your power to restore and heal. May this marriage be a testimony to Your grace and redemption, a living reflection of Your faithfulness.
In the mighty and healing name of Jesus, I pray, Amen.
