Pause
God of love, I turn to you with a tired and broken heart. Placing my feet on the ground, I focus on the present moment. Placing my hands on my chest, I remember your spirit within me. I know that I am not alone.
Ask
God, you know me, and you love me. You know the joys and the struggles of my marriage. I bring all of these to you now. Restore my marriage. Make it a safe and holy place for me and my spouse to grow.
Listen
In a garden long ago, a couple turned away from you, but you did not leave them to face their suffering alone. You sent your son to bring reconciliation and restoration to the whole world. In your great love and mercy, show my spouse and me the path to new life in you.
Share
Our life together has had its share of good times and bad. Only your restoration can soothe the pain and cultivate peace between us. Help us to forgive as you forgive. Allow us to see each other as you see each of us: unconditionally beloved.
Reflect
This marriage is still holy ground, and you have not abandoned us, God. Strengthen us to take one step forward today: toward each other, toward you, and toward a full restoration of our marriage.
