Scripture prayers for your marriage - from rejoiceministries.org

"O Lord, I call to You; come quickly to me. Hear my voice when I call to You. Thank
You Lord, that You will answer me and tell me great and unsearchable things I do not
know. May my prayer be set before You like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be
like the evening sacrifice. Let the morning bring me word of Your unfailing love, for I
have put my trust in You. Show me the way I should go, for to You I lift up my soul.
Rescue me from my enemies, O Lord, for I hide myself in You. Teach me to do Your
will, for You are my God; may Your good Spirit lead me on level ground. Search me, O
God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any
offensive way in me, and lead me and wife in the way everlasting. Have mercy on us, O
God, according to Your unfailing love; according to Your great compassion blot out our
transgressions. Wash away all our iniquities and cleanse us from our sins. Set a guard
over my mouth, O Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips. Let not my and wife's
heart be drawn to what is evil. I keep asking You to fill us with the knowledge of Your
will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And I pray that we may live a life
worthy of the Lord and may please You in every way. I pray that You will open wife's
eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that
we may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by
faith in You. I pray that wife will repent and turn to You, Lord and prove our repentance
by our deeds. For You have rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us
into the kingdom of the Son He loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of
sins. I keep asking that the God, our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give
wife and I the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that we may know You better. I pray
that the eyes of our hearts may be enlightened in order that wife and I may know the
hope to which You have called us, the riches of Your glorious inheritance in the saints. I
pray that wife will live by the Spirit, and will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.
May You fill wife and I with the fruit of the Spirit which is love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. I pray that wife and I may
be delivered from wicked and evil men, for not everyone has faith. But the Lord is
faithful, and He will strengthen and protect us from the evil one. I praise You that You
will cleanse wife and I from all our impurities and from all our idols. You will give us
each a new heart and put a new spirit in us; You will remove from us our heart of stone
and give us a heart of flesh. Thank You Lord that I am not be afraid or discouraged
because of this vast problem. For the battle is not mine, but Yours. Thank You Lord
that I can do everything through You who gives me strength. And You will meet all my
needs according to Your glorious riches in Christ Jesus. Thank You Lord for Your
promises that what You have said, that will You bring about; what You have planned,
that will You do. Thank You for Your Word that goes out from Your mouth: It will not
return to You empty, but will accomplish what You desire and achieve the purpose for
which You sent it. Our help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. For
nothing is impossible with God. Thank You Lord for healing and restoring our marriage
and for all marriages around the world. I pray this in the mighty Name of Jesus. Amen."
