I love the Lord because he hears my prayers and answers them. Because he bends down and listens... How kind he is! How good he is! So merciful, this God of ours! The Lord protects the simple and the childlike... His loved ones are very precious to him... Praise the Lord! (Psalm 116: 1-6, 15, 19 - The Living Bible)


Jesus Christ has promised in James 5:16 -- The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective. Part of putting on the armor of God in Ephesians 6 includes praying in the Spirit -- allowing God to fill you and direct you in prayer. Over and over throughout Scripture God encourages His people to pray, for themselves and for others. Paul states very powerfully the importance of prayer in 2 Corinthians 1:10-11, He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and He will deliver us. On Him we have set our hope that He will continue to deliver us, as You help us by Your prayers. We need to pray not only for our own needs, but share each other's burdens and join together in fighting the unseen spiritual battles which are waging war around us. We have the Armies of Heaven on our side, and Jesus and His plans will NOT be defeated! Hallelujah!! The prayers included below are not magical formulas to cause people or things to change or miraculously help you feel better. Rather, they are shared here with you in a generalized format as both a help and encouragement in your faith.

PRAYERS FOR SPOUSES

Prayer 1

I pray that Jesus' blood break through the satanic barriers which are like a shell of their own armor around (name)'s heart and soul, and smash them to a million pieces. Breaking her/his will so her/his will becomes God's will. I pray that today, Jesus, and ask that You assemble Your armies of heaven and prepare them for the battle that needs to be done in and around (name). Keep me safe... and bring Your victory soon I pray.

Prayer 2

Lord I don't know if (spouse's name) is a Christian or not, but (name) is, so because of her being Your child, I pray for Your intense working in his heart and mind and soul... satan has no power over her marriage, Lord... You do! Break through the walls (spouse's name) has erected... pierce his heart so his longing will be a deep need for You, and a surrender to Your will. And in doing this, his love for (name) will increase beyond measure, and he will choose to become more and more like You, Jesus Christ, in his love and commitment for her. Oh Lord, if none of the things I am asking for in this prayer are Your will, then I surrender to Your will... Thy will be done, Oh Lord... that is the most important thing, and that is the best thing. Give (name) strength to stay in Your "boat," sailing with You, because then she is truly safe no matter what the seas are like. I ask all these things, claiming Your promise that if we ask anything in Your name, You hear us, and if it is according to Your will, You will do it. And I ask all these things believing this promise, and trusting You to fulfill it. Amen.

Prayer 3

I come to you today on behalf of (name) and the volatility of her marriage, Lord... the fears and anxieties she lives constantly with, and the controls her husband is enacting more and more... Be with her today. Watch over her and soothe her fears, calm her anxieties, because You are in control. I pray that her husband, who claims to be Your child, will see his own abusiveness. Yet even as I pray this, I ask for protection for (name) that she not be harmed. Oh Lord, break through the barriers and strongholds around her husband's heart and soul. Shine Your light of love, which also will expose his sinful way of relating to her, into his soul this day... and cause him to see his own need for help, and to get help. I ask these things for (name), believing and trusting You to work, and believing You will answer these prayers... and all the things I have prayed today. Praise You Jesus! Thank You Jesus!! Amen.

Prayer 4

Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your love and Your mercies which are new every morning and today we hold up (name)'s husband, (spouse's name), before You and we thank You that You are his loving Heavenly Father and that he is Your precious son whom You have promised never to leave or forsake. Father, You know his state of mind, You see the depth of the his pain, but Lord we know (because Your Word says so) that there is nothing (including depression) that can separate (spouse's name) from the love of Christ this day. Father, we thank You that You see Your child's suffering and that You will be faithful to reach down and hold him in Your loving arms so that he does not have to suffer through this alone. You told us that in this world we would have suffering, but You also told us that You would be with us in our suffering -- and we claim that promise for (spouse's name) this day. We thank You, Lord, that no weapon formed against (spouse's name) will prosper, and we thank You for a hedge of protection around his mind and his heart and for holy angels surrounding him singing songs of deliverance. Father, may he feel the warmth of Your presence and know the reassurance of Your love for him this day.

Prayer 5

In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we bind all the powers of darkness that would seek to come against (spouse's name) this day, and we command them to silence in Jesus' name. And we declare to satan, in the power and authority of Jesus' name, that he cannot have (spouse's name), that he has no claim on his life, for (spouse's name) has been transferred out of the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of Light, and he is washed and cleansed by the blood of the Lamb -- though his sins were as scarlet, yet now they are whiter than snow. And there is NO condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus. And we thank You, Father, that (spouse's name) will experience Your reassuring love in a supernatural way this day. We thank You, Lord, that all Your purpose in this trial will be accomplished in (spouse's name)'s life but that none of satan's purpose will be accomplished. We thank You and praise You, Lord, for Your hedge of protection around (name) as well this day. Thank You, Lord, that You will grant her wisdom and discernment in this situation. Thank You, Holy Spirit, that she will be open to Your using her when and if You choose to move through her in compassion and love. Thank You that she will also have Your perfect peace about stepping back and staying silent when and if that is Your will. Father, we thank You that You will anoint (spouse's name)'s ears to hear, and his eyes to see, and his heart to receive that which You would teach him in the course of this trial. Thank You that Your Holy Spirit is a refining fire -- and that even though it hurts when You burn away the dross, the gold that is left is pure and holy in Your sight. Thank You that (spouse's name) is clay in the Master Potter's hands and that You will mold and shape him into a new and glorious vessel as You help him to deal with the issues in his past. Thank You, Father, that You are helping (spouse's name) to become all that He can be in You. We thank You for Your love and Your patience and Your compassion, and we ask these things in Jesus' name, knowing that (spouse's name) is more than safe in Your loving hands. Amen.


PRAYERS FOR RELATIONSHIPS

Prayer 1

Heavenly Father, I thank You that You are with (name) this night. I thank You that You will continue to sustain her in this time of great need. I thank You, Lord, that no weapon formed against her will prosper. In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we bind all those powers of darkness that would seek to work through (person/circumstance) to undermine and destroy her and we command them to silence in Jesus' name. And we thank You, Lord, that You will release Your holy angels into this situation to comfort and defend (name). Father, we thank You that Your Light shining in her will be so strong and Your Love flowing through her will be so powerful that (person) will be ashamed of their behavior towards her and that s/he will be driven to her/his knees before You in repentance and sorrow for the way s/he is treating her. And we thank You, Lord, that You will open (person)'s eyes to see and her/his ears to hear and her/his heart to receive that which You would teach her/him in this situation. Father, we thank You that while (person) is on her/his knees s/he will break before You and that You will take this heart of stone and make it into a heart of flesh that You can work with and we thank You, Lord, that a broken and a contrite heart You do not despise. Father, we thank You that (person) is Your child and that You love her/him with a Father's love and that because You love her/him You will chasten her/him. I thank You that s/he will feel the weight of Your hand and that, like the psalmist David, s/he will cry out and beg for Your mercy and that then s/he will begin to make the choices in his life that will allow Your grace and mercy to flow and heal her/him. Lord, I thank You that You will continue to protect (name) and You will be her strength throughout this ordeal and that she will have Your perfect peace and that You will not allow her to be abused any further and that You will protect her heart from all bitterness arising from the way that (person/curcumstance) has used her. Lord, I thank You that You can and will take every thing that satan intends for evil in this situation and turn it for good that You may be glorified. I thank You that (name) and (person/circumstance) will have the victory because the battle is Yours and we rejoice that satan has no claim on either of their lives for they are the children of God and have been translated out of the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of Light. We thank You, Lord, that You have heard the cries of Your daughter, (name), and that You will be faithful to answer her and to deliver her from all evil. We praise Your holy name, for You are a great and a mighty God and there is none like You -- not in the heavens above nor in the earth beneath. If God be for us then who can be against us! We thank You and praise You, Lord, as we ask all these things in Jesus' precious name. Amen.

Prayer 2

Praise You Holy Father for (name) and inner family. You have touched my heart and blessed my life by bringing them into my life. Thank You Jesus, for Your unwavering, unmoving, unshaking, unchanging love for us all. Please be with (name) and confirm in her heart, deep within her soul, by Your Holy Spirit, that You will not abandon her, but will instead meet all her needs. I pray for Your holy safe blood to cover her and protect her and all her inside parts from whatever storms You are taking her (spouse/family member) through. If it is Your will to work in her/his heart to make her/him wholly Your child, then Lord, I pray You will do so while surrounding and protecting (name) and inner family with Your angels, and with Your love. Provide the (specific need) needed , Lord. Everything in this earth is Yours, and everything in heaven is Yours, and I pray that You will meet even this intense need. Convict (spouse/family member) and cause her/him to make a commitment to her recovery, not only financial, but also to be willing to work on her/himself. And all through this, I pray Your sprinkled blood, which is covering and protecting (name), will be a neon light to the forces of darkness, blinding them, and severing any and all assignments they have over her. Guard her heart and her mind, Lord...keep Your protective safe walls of Salvation up around her mind so that no enemy, no mental telepathy, nothing but Your love and Your Spirit and Your working can penetrate. Praise You, Jesus, for Your awesome working in (name)'s life... Thank You Jesus for this precious woman. You are so amazing, Lord...and I love You with all my heart. Praise You Holy Jesus Christ. Amen.
