To Heal Broken Marriages

God of Marriage,
You instituted the blessed gift of marriage. Through it, you provide husbands and wives with an opportunity to experience from each other small samples of the unconditional grace and unwavering commitment that you show to believers. Sadly, when infidelity or adultery shatters a marriage, it turns one of your greatest gifts into one of the most painful hurts. Where husbands have caused this hurt, lead them to true repentance and work in them both a genuine desire to reconcile, and also a willingness to show it by their fruit. Where husbands have been on the receiving end of this hurt, heal their hearts, provide them with an abundant measure of grace and patience, and lead them on a path that arrives at forgiveness. Wherever possible, provide those involved with the strength and courage to make every effort to repair and restore the broken marriage bond, so that by your grace, it might be stronger than ever, and Satan’s plans fail miserably.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

For Special Blessings on Non-Traditional Families

Faithful Father,
Families today come in all shapes and sizes. One of the many effects the fallen world has had on families is on their mix and makeup. Realities like divorce have brought about single-parent families. Death leaves behind children without parents and the need for adoption. Remarriage inserts multiple sets of parents into families, normalizing step-parents and step-siblings.

Nevertheless, the different DNA we see in families does not make them inferior to the traditional family. Neither do such cases in any way keep you from being able to generously bless them. Indeed, let there be an extra measure of your grace, patience, and forgiveness within non-traditional families, thereby equipping them not only to overcome the typical issues every family faces, but also to manage the burdens and challenges brought on by their unique circumstances. Lavish them with your love and let your light shine brightly to and through them.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
