Prayer for Help to Overcome Anger, Bitterness and Unforgiveness in my Marriage
from
Prayed for 5 time.
I Prayed For This
Heavenly Father, I confess that I have unresolved anger, bitterness and unforgiveness towards my spouse because of the ways he has hurt me. Lord I know that this is not right, and I ask for your mercy, help and forgiveness for these sins that so often defile my heart and testimony. I am truly sorry Lord. I cannot help myself.
Search my heart o God, and purge me by the blood of Jesus Christ, of every devilish thing that defiles me. Uproot these ungodly spirits of anger, bitterness and resentment from my life. Instead, plant the seed of your unconditional love for my spouse in my heart and help me to truly forgive him for all the hurt he has caused me in the past. Remove those things that may be causing anger to tarry in my heart.
Help me to show mercy each time I am tempted to respond to him in anger, remembering that you also showed me great love and mercy, when Jesus died on the cross for me. Teach me to be a true helpmeet for him, to be more patient with his shortcomings and to pray for his weaknesses, so that you can groom him into the godly man you have called and ordained him to be even before the foundations of the world.
Help me to become a virtuous wife to him. To help and not to hurt him all the days of my life. Re-kindle your love in my heart for him and also help him to truly love me as Christ loved the church.
Help us to model mercy and forgiveness to our children, so that they may grow up in the true knowledge of God and in the fear of the Lord.
Finally Lord, help him to also truly forgive me for all the hurt that I have also caused him. Take away any grudge, hurt and bitterness that may still remain in his heart towards me. Help him to also forgive those relatives who may have knowingly or unknowingly hurt him. Uproot the poison of bitterness and regret from his heart. Help him to be quick to forgive and to no longer keep record of wrongs done to him.
Heal the devastating effects that anger, bitterness, resentment and unforgiveness may have caused in our lives, by opening up my womb a 2nd time O God. In your mercy, please grant us the seed of a male child O God. Before this time next year, let there be the joyous cry of a healthy son in our home...that our joy may be complete.
May the root of bitterness no longer be found in me, my spouse, my kids or my lineage, from this day henceforth and forevermore, in Jesus name I pray, Amen.
