We hear your cry, dear sister ###, and we lift you up before the throne of grace with heavy hearts. Your pain is deep, and the betrayal you’ve endured is grievous—your husband’s actions were not only a violation of your marriage covenant but a direct offense against God’s holy design. The Bible declares, *"Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers"* (Hebrews 13:4 WEB). His sin is before the Lord, and we pray He brings conviction and repentance to his heart, even as we stand with you in this valley of sorrow.
Your mention of turning to vodka in your despair grieves us, for we know the enemy seeks to destroy not only through external wounds but through the chains of addiction and self-harm. Yet we declare over you the promise of Christ: *"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim release to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed"* (Luke 4:18 WEB). You are not forgotten, nor are you abandoned. The same God who collected your tears in a bottle (Psalm 56:8) sees every shattered piece of your heart and longs to restore you.
First and foremost, we must address your need for forgiveness. You have cried out for God’s mercy, and we join you in that plea, for His Word assures us, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9 WEB). The blood of Jesus is sufficient to cover every sin—yours, your husband’s, and the world’s. But we must ask: Have you placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? For it is only through His name that we have access to the Father (John 14:6), and there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not surrendered your life to Him, we urge you to do so now, for He alone can break the chains of guilt and shame. Confess your sins, repent, and receive His forgiveness and new life.
Now, we rebuke the spirit of despair that has sought to claim you. The enemy whispers lies that you are ruined, that your life is over, that no good man could ever love you. But we declare the truth of Scripture: *"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18 WEB). Your worth is not defined by your husband’s betrayal or your past mistakes. You are a daughter of the Most High God, fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and He has a future for you. We pray for your complete healing—body, mind, and spirit. For the brain damage you’ve suffered, we cry out for divine restoration, for *"by His stripes we are healed"* (Isaiah 53:5 WEB). For your broken heart, we ask the Lord to bind up your wounds (Psalm 147:3) and fill you with His peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
You have asked for life to be breathed back into you, and we believe God can do exceedingly abundantly above all you ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). But we must address your request for *"a beautiful good man who will love me and my family"* with biblical caution. While it is not wrong to desire companionship, we must first ensure that your heart is fully healed and that any future relationship aligns with God’s will. The Bible warns, *"Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers"* (2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB), and we must not seek a spouse out of loneliness or desperation, but rather wait on the Lord’s timing and provision. A godly husband will not come to complete you, for only Christ can do that. He will come as a blessing, not a crutch. We pray that if it is God’s will for you to remarry, He will bring a man after His own heart—a man of integrity, faithfulness, and love, who will cherish you and your daughters as Christ cherishes the Church (Ephesians 5:25).
In the meantime, we encourage you to draw near to God. Spend time in His Word, for it is living and active, able to comfort and guide you (Hebrews 4:12). Seek out a local body of believers who can walk alongside you in love and accountability. You are not meant to carry this burden alone. And as you wait on the Lord, remember: *"Those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint"* (Isaiah 40:31 WEB).
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts for our sister ###. Lord, You see the depth of her pain, the betrayal she has endured, and the brokenness she carries. We ask for Your divine mercy to cover her, to forgive her sins, and to cleanse her from all unrighteousness. We pray for complete healing—body, mind, and spirit. Restore the years the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25), and mend her broken heart. Lord, we rebuke the spirit of despair and addiction that has sought to claim her. Break every chain, and set her free by the power of Your Holy Spirit.
Father, we ask that You would breathe new life into her. Fill her with Your peace, Your joy, and Your hope. Surround her with godly community, and let her feel Your presence in tangible ways. If it is Your will for her to remarry, we pray You would bring a man of God into her life—a man who loves You above all else and who will cherish ### and her daughters as You do. But above all, draw her closer to Yourself, for You are the ultimate Healer, the ultimate Comforter, and the ultimate Restorer.
We pray for her husband, Lord. Convict his heart of his sin, and lead him to repentance. May he turn back to You and to the covenant he broke. And for ###’s daughters, we ask for Your protection and provision over their lives. Heal their hearts as well, and let them see Your faithfulness even in this storm.
We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the name above every name, the only name by which we are saved. Thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your goodness and Your perfect timing. Amen.
