Prayer for marriage: prayer for breakthrough in me

Heavenly Father, I Thank You for another beautiful day today. Thank you Lord for all the blessings and your provision. Father God, I invite your presence to dwell in me and change me where I need to be changed. Reveal any times where I have not said the right Words or communicated the right things to my husband (wife) and i will confess it as sin, for I know I fall far short of your glory. (Romans 3:23) Teach me how to communicate openly and honestly so I will speak excellent, right and truthful words. In Jesus name I pray, amen!

Romans3:23 "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,"

Prayer for marriage (5)

Heavenly Father, I Thank You for another beautiful day today. Thank you Lord for all the blessings and your provision. Father God, I pray that you will protect us from any breakdown of communication. Teach us to listen to one another and recognize the signs in each other that give us greater understanding. Help us find things we enjoy doing together so that we will grow closer and not apart. Enable us to be able to communicate love, appreciation and honour to each other at all times. Teach us to recognize the enemy's plan to steal, rob, and destroy the marriage. Enable us to understand his methods and his attempts to stir up strife and miscommunication between us. Help us to take instant authority over any attack he brings against us- especially in the area of communication. Help us to settle all matters of disagreement between us in a loving, compromising, and considerate manner. Enable us to be always in unity with You and with each other. In Jesus name I pray, amen!

Prayer for marriage (3)

Heavenly Father, I Thank You for another beautiful day today. Thank you Lord for all the blessings and your provision. Father God, I pray that you will protect us from any breakdown of communication. Help us to spend time communicating with you everyday so that our communication with each other will always be good. Teach us how to openly express love for one another, and keep us from any laziness or selfishness that would cause us to neglect to do that. Help us to refuse to speak words that tear down, but only words that build up. In Jesus name I pray, amen! 

Read Ephesians 4:29
"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen."

Prayer for protection: 

Lord, I invite your presence to dwell in our marriage. I pray that you would protect my husband (wife) and me from any kind of breakdown of communication. Enable us to always share our thoughts and feelings and refuse to be people who don't talk. Teach us to trust each other enough to share our deepest hopes, dreams, fears and struggles with one another. In Jesus name I pray, Amen!

Prayer for marriage (1)

Here are the key points for success in your marriage, if you do things in God's way and refuse to give up:

1. The truth is, everyone needs to change. For we all fall short of the glory of God (read Romans 3:21-23). We will always need to submit to Him and not think so highly about ourselves that we feel we don't need to change. 

2. The truth is, everyone can change. You can change. And your spouse can change. God is in the business of changing people. By the power of prayer and the Holy Spirit, everyone can do it.

3. The truth is, being married creates the perfect opportunity for change.
Some may think that we don't have to change at all. But nobody is perfect and change is necessary. Marriage always inspires change. God will start with those who are willing. 

4. The truth is, people cannot make someone else change. A husband/ wife cannot make their spouse change. But God can change both. And it's the work of the Holy Spirit. 

5. The truth is, only God can work changes in us that last. If we are willing, only God can transform us. 

The truth is, we can do all the above by the power of prayer. Prayer can do wondrous things, when we allow the Holy Spirit to work in us. Romans 8:28 says that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. But if you read the verses before that promise, you will see that the Bible is talking about prayer. In other words, all things work together for good if we are praying. Things are not promised to work out for good automically. That's why we have to start praying if we have not been doing it.
