We are truly saddened to hear about the infidelity you are experiencing in your marriage, but we are here to pray and support you in this challenging time. Firstly, we must remind you that God's design for marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman, as outlined in the Bible. "So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate" (Matthew 19:6 WEB).
Infidelity is a serious sin that breaks the marriage covenant, and it is clearly addressed in the Bible. "You shall not commit adultery" (Exodus 20:14 WEB). We must first pray for your husband, that God would convict his heart and draw him back to a place of faithfulness and purity.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up this marriage that is under attack from the enemy. We pray for this husband, that You would convict his heart and reveal to him the pain and destruction he is causing. Lord, we ask that You would give him the strength to end the adulterous relationship and that he would fully repent and turn away from this sin.
We also pray for this wife, that You would comfort her and give her the strength to endure this trial. Help her to forgive, as You have forgiven us, and guide her as she navigates this challenging time. Lord, we ask that You would restore this marriage, that it would be a testament to Your faithfulness and redemption.
In Jesus' name, we pray for a hedge of protection around this marriage, that the enemy would not have his way, and that this husband and wife would be drawn closer to You and to each other through this trial.
Forgiveness is a powerful tool, and it is something that Jesus has commanded us to do. "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don't forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses" (Matthew 6:14-15 WEB). We encourage you to forgive your husband, even as you struggle with the pain of his actions. This does not mean that what he did is acceptable, but rather that you are choosing to release the bitterness and resentment that can so easily take root.
Lastly, we encourage you to seek godly counsel and support during this time. This may be from a pastor, Christian counselor, or trusted Christian friends. They can provide you with guidance and support as you navigate this difficult situation.
And remember that God is always near and ready, "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament, mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you." (James 4:8-10 WEB).
Let us know how we can continue to pray and support you during this time.
