My wife and I have been separated for 4 months. I don’t want our marriage to end. With Christmas coming, I am feeling very hopeless and can’t seem to get through the sadness. The enemy is having a field day! Please pray for us both and for our 18 year old daughter. I am really struggling to go on. I feel so alone.

Father God, I praise You and thank You. Come, Holy Spirit...I plead the blood of Christ over your children and all the good gifts you entrust to them. Anoint them with oil. Restore their walk in the garden with You. Put a hedge of protection around them and assign ministering angels to them. Jesus, pray for them without ceasing. In the name of Jesus, I bind confusion and chaos in this covenant marriage and send them to the depths of the abyss to await the Day of Judgement. Cancel all assignments of the enemy against them. What You have joined together let no man or created being separate. Spare this tribe, this household your wrath and judgement. Show them your mercy. Forgive their sins and turn them back onto your straight paths in all their ways. Release confession of sins against one another. Release one another from the prison of unforgiveness, releasing every grudge, in Jesus' name. Strike down, crush, and cast out past the border every idol on the throne of their hearts. You are their strong tower. Bless them with your right hand, breaking every curse back a hundred generations. Renew their minds. Put your Spirit of quietness upon them so they can abide in You. Only sin separates us from You, Lord. Remove every hinderance, in Jesus' name. Fear must go in Jesus' name. Your Word tells us not to fear so fearing is sinful disobedience. You have not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love and a strong mind. Lord, shatter every image of false identity. Reveal to them their identity in You, the original creations. Show them how You see and love the other one, in Jesus' name. Deliver them from blindness, deafness, mute, judgement, division, pride, self-pity, discouragement, and doubt. Show them healthy boundaries. We take captive every thought and make them obedient to Christ. In the name of Jesus, I speak to their bodies, minds, and spirits and command them to be in obedience to Christ Jesus. By your stripes they are healed, renewed to the original creation you fashioned in the womb. Keep them in the shadow of your wing. Let them wash one another in the Word. Ungratefulness is cast out in Jesus' name. Your joy is their strength. We go back to the enemy's camp and take back what he stole from them. Redeem the time. Restore what the locusts ate, in Jesus' name. MOVE THIS MOUNTAIN! I thank You that your word does not return void. Fill them with your fire, Lord! Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control...knowledge, wisdom, understanding, counsel, revelation, intercession, suppication, surrender, obedience, sonship, thanksgiving three portions full, a fourth portion to overflow them with rivers of living water into the streets. Sanctify them. Radical personal holiness. Release their destiny, dreams, ministries and impart into them the gifts that give You pleasure so that they will bear good fruit. Hide them in You, Jesus. Give them dreams and visions and let signs and wonders follow them as they preach the gospel to the ends of the earth until you come again. In Jesus' precious name, amen and amen.
