You may use these for yourself however, if I may be selfish for just this season.  Will you please pray these scriptures for me and Reagan.  I have to continue to believe for my marriage.  God has not released me from my wife and I refuse to believe that He has a different plan.

Believers must oppose the spirit of divorce that is so prevalent in this age. There is no other alternative. Believers need to pray for marriages, especially those that are in trouble. It is our duty and our privilege to intercede for these couples. If your marriage is in trouble, you must plead with God for the marriage. If you know that a marriage is in trouble, you must stand in the gap for that marriage. It is time that the church stops giving up on marriages. It is time that the church humbles itself before God and intercedes for couples. Divorce does not have to be the norm. Broken families and lives do not have to be a daily reality. As long as God is in heaven and God's people pray, there is hope for marriages and families.
The following prayer requests are for a marriage that is in crisis. These are suggestions to help you know how to pray in this situation. You can use these requests to pray for your own marriage or other marriages. You can use these suggestions by placing the names of the couple in the blank. As always, be sensitive to the leadership of the Holy Spirit as you pray. He may give you insight and Scripture to pray as you intercede for yourself or the couple. Plead the Word of God! Pray with faith and persistence!
