LORD, I pray that You would protect my marriage from any hard-heartedness that could develop between my husband George Sahyoun and I Kieryn Sahyoun. I pray our hearts will never grow hard toward one another. Help us to not be stubborn or rebellious, refusing to set our hearts right before You (Psalm 78: 8). Teach us both to “number our days”—to value the time you have given us together—so that we may gain a heart of wisdom as you have promised in Your Word (Psalm 90: 12). Take away any perversity in our hearts, so there is never any wrong attitude taking root in either of us (Psalm 101: 4). Take away any pride or bitterness in us so that we will not displease You. Where our hearts have become hard, soften them toward one another. I ask that rivers of Your living water will flow in and through us at all times to soften, mend, and restore our hearts (John 7: 37-38). Heal any brokenness so that the damage is not irreparable, and take away any scars that form. I ask that we will always feel deep love for one another in our hearts. LORD, I CONFESS ANY HARDNESS of my heart toward my husband George Sahyoun as sin. Melt it like ice in the presence of the hot sun. Burn any solid, heavy, frosty lump within me until it pours out like water before You. Take my heart of stone and give me a heart of love and compassion. Break up the fallow ground where nothing good can grow and life gets choked out. I confess to any sin of anger, resentment, unforgiveness, or criticism of my husband George Sahyoun. Forgive me and cleanse my heart completely. Lord, I pray that You would give me a pure heart toward You so that I may stand in Your holy place. Give me clean hands so that I may rise above my situation. Help me to not lift my soul toward an idol or speak words that are not true in light of Your Word so that I can receive all You have for me (Psalm 24: 3-5). You know what is in my heart (Psalm 44: 21). Take away all negative thoughts and feelings, and overflow my heart with good things (Psalm 45: 1). May the good thoughts in my heart cause my mouth to speak wisdom and not harshness (Psalm 49: 3). Create in me a clean heart, and make my spirit right before You (Psalm 51: 10). I want to bring to You the sacrifice of a broken spirit and a humble heart (Psalm 51: 17). Don’t let me succumb to being stubborn in my heart. I want to walk in Your counsel and not my own. Take away any disappointment in me with regard to my marriage and show me if I have blamed my husband George Sahyoun without seeking to know what my part is in it. Remove all pride so that I can escape the consequences of sin and better hear from You. Change me by the power of Your Spirit. Cut away from my heart all that is not of You. Help me to love You and serve You with all my heart and soul (Joshua 22: 5). Show me how to keep my heart with diligence (Proverbs 4: 23). Give me the wisdom to do what’s right so that I will walk in my house with a perfect heart (Psalm 101: 2). Break down any hardness of heart in me, and I will repent of it. Restore love in my heart for my husband George Sahyoun if ever I don’t feel it anymore. Restore love in my husband George Sahyoun’s heart for Kieryn Sahyoun if he ever doesn’t feel it anymore. With my whole heart I seek You, and I ask that You would help me hide Your Word in my heart and keep all of Your commandments (Psalm 119: 11). Help me to understand and keep Your law (Psalm 119: 34). Enable me to trust You with all my heart and not depend on my own limited understanding of things. I believe that I will see Your goodness in my life and therefore I will not lose heart. I will wait on You, Lord, and I will stand strong in all I understand of You, knowing that you will strengthen my heart (Psalm 27: 13-14). Thank You that You are a God of new beginnings. Help us to take steps that signify a new beginning in myself Kieryn Sahyoun and my husband George Sahyoun today. In Jesus’ name I pray.
Dear Father Thank you for hearing my prayer. I come before you asking for Your divine mercy and help in our lives. I know
