In May, fans were shocked after video footage surfaced online showing Beyonce's sister Solange attacking Jay inside of a New York City elevator. Beyonce, who is open about her Christian faith, shared a prayer on Instagram entitled "My Prayer to God" two days after the incident, which sparked reports of marital woes.
"Lord, I lift up everyone of my relationships to You and ask You to bless them. I pray that each one would be glorifying to you," Beyonce wrote to her 12 million followers on May 7.
"Help me to choose my friends wisely so I won't be led astray. Give me discernment and strength to separate myself from anyone who is not a good influence. I release all my relationships to You and pray that Your will be done in each of them," she added.
The "Partition" singer married the rapper in a private ceremony in 2008 and while they have been married for six years, they have been romantically involved for a total of 12 years. In 2012, the couple welcomed the birth of their first child Blue Ivy.
"I would not be the woman I am if I did not go home to that man. It gives me such a foundation," Beyonce told Oprah last year.
"We were friends first for a year and a half before we went on any date—on the phone for a year and a half. And that foundation is so important in a relationship. Just to have someone that you just like is so important. Someone that is honest," she explained.
The couple recently wrapped up the North American leg of their "On The Run" tour and they take the show to Europe next month.
