Job and marriage marriage restoration

Disciple of Prayer
My life has taken a huge turn. On ### I was wrongfully shoved out of the door by my employer. I have been left unemployed for almost a month. I applied for a position that would have been amazing for my family, but my previous employer ruined my chances by not responding to them. I’ve been devastated. The job I did not want but applied out of fear is a job that is a huge pay cut, no benefits or growth. I making that god works miracles and provides me a better paying job with benefits for me and my kids. My marriage has also taken a huge turn and I believe there is a third party. My partner is currently incarcerated and I have felt abandoned and neglected during my hardship. I pray for gods will to be completed. Whether it be restoring my marriage to ending it with peace. I don’t want it to end as I’ve stood by their side the whole time but I refuse to be cheated on again when I am out here doing all I can to hang by a thread. I’ve been loyal and faithful and I show up continuously. I ask for prayer for gods to move me toward better things in my life and removed the loss I have stacked on top of me. Thank you.
 
We hear your heartache and the weight of the burdens you are carrying, unemployment, betrayal, and the strain on your marriage. The pain of being wronged by an employer and feeling abandoned by your spouse is heavy, and we stand with you in seeking God’s justice, provision, and healing. First, we must address a few things with love and truth, for Scripture calls us to walk in righteousness even in the midst of suffering.

You refer to your spouse as your "partner," but the Bible is clear that marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, designed by God to reflect Christ’s love for the Church (Ephesians 5:22-33). If this is a marriage, we must call it what it is, a union before God, and pray accordingly for restoration or for wisdom to walk away if the covenant has been irreparably broken. If this is not a marriage, we must rebuke the sin of fornication and urge you to either pursue marriage (if biblically permissible) or end the relationship, for God does not bless sexual immorality (1 Corinthians 6:18, Hebrews 13:4).

You also mention a "third party," which strongly suggests adultery. If this is true, your spouse has already broken the marriage covenant, and you are not obligated to remain in a relationship where infidelity is ongoing. The Bible permits divorce in cases of sexual immorality (Matthew 19:9), though reconciliation is possible if there is true repentance. However, you must not be yoked to unrepentant sin. We pray for clarity and strength to walk in God’s will, whether that means restoration through repentance or the courage to move forward if the marriage is beyond repair.

Your loyalty and faithfulness in this trial are commendable, but we must also warn against the temptation to bitterness or resentment. Forgiveness does not mean excusing sin, but it does mean releasing the offender to God’s justice (Romans 12:19). Cling to Christ, who understands betrayal and abandonment (Isaiah 53:3), and trust that He will vindicate you in His time.

Now, let us pray:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, the One who sees all and judges righteously. Lord, You know the pain and injustice this sister has endured, wrongful termination, financial strain, and the agony of a broken marriage. We ask that You would move mightily on her behalf. Provide a job that not only meets her family’s needs but restores her dignity and hope. Open doors no man can shut, and let Your favor surround her like a shield (Psalm 5:12).

Father, we lift up her marriage. If there is still hope for restoration, we ask that You would convict her spouse of sin, lead them to repentance, and heal the wounds of betrayal. Let Your Holy Spirit bind up the brokenhearted and set the captives free (Isaiah 61:1). But if this marriage is beyond repair, we ask for wisdom to know when to walk away and the strength to do so without bitterness. Protect her heart from resentment and fill her with Your peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7).

Lord, we rebuke the spirit of lack and despair that has tried to take root. You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides (Genesis 22:14). We declare that this season of hardship will not define her but will refine her, drawing her closer to You. Replace her sorrow with joy, her fear with faith, and her weakness with Your strength (Nehemiah 8:10).

We also pray for her children, that they would see Christ in her resilience and trust in You. Guard their hearts from the effects of this turmoil and let them experience Your love through her.

Finally, Lord, we ask that You would break any chains of ungodly soul ties, unforgiveness, or compromise in her life. Let her walk in purity, purpose, and power, knowing that You are her vindicator and rewarder (Hebrews 11:6). May she find her identity in You alone, not in her circumstances or the actions of others.

We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, the Author and Finisher of our faith. Amen.

Beloved, remember that God is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). You are not forgotten. Keep seeking Him, keep trusting Him, and keep walking in obedience. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, now is the time, confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection for your salvation, and receive the new life He offers (Romans 10:9-10). Only in Him will you find true peace and purpose. Stand firm, and watch Him move.
 
Thank you for letting us in on what you’re walking through right now. That’s an enormous load: a job pulled out from under you, the letdown of a great opportunity blocked, the worry of a pay cut, and then the heavy, aching weight of marriage trouble on top of it all. We’re so sorry.

When someone loses a job, especially when it feels unfair, it’s common to reel through shock, anger, and then the grinding disappointment of having to set some hopes aside just to keep going. Taking a lower-paying job out of sheer necessity doesn’t mean you’ve failed or that God has stopped providing; sometimes it’s simply a bridge, a way to steady things while you keep watching for the right opening. You’re not weak for feeling devastated or for wanting something better for your family.

And to feel abandoned by your partner while you’re already stretched so thin, with the added fear of being cheated on again, that cuts deep. You don’t have to pretend it’s okay. It sounds like you’ve been fiercely faithful and you’re aching for some direction: whether restoration or a peaceful release. We won’t pretend to know how God will answer that, but we do know he sees your loyalty and the tears behind it.

One concrete step you might consider: reach out to a pastor or a wise Christian counselor who can walk alongside you through both the vocational stress and the weight of marital betrayal. Sorting through this alone is too hard. Someone grounded in your faith can help you gain clarity without pressure.

Let’s pray together now:

Lord Jesus, you see the pile-up of loss and fear our friend is carrying. Please open a door to a solid job, one with fair pay, benefits, and room to grow, so this family can find steady ground. Bring wisdom for the marriage. If there can be genuine repentance and healing, make a safe path; if not, grant a peaceful end and guard this heart from further unfaithfulness. Hold this one close, and let hope rise even in the confusion. In your name we ask, amen.
 
The trials you now endure are heavy, but consider the miracle of the loaves as it has transpired in your own life story and be not afraid, whatever your present trouble may be. Christ is grand in emergencies, and He displays His power spontaneously, without need of pressing or even prompting. You lost your employment suddenly, yet He who fed five thousand with a boy's small lunch can open a door no man can shut. The miracle of turning water into wine at the marriage at Cana proves He cares for our daily needs and can transform the ordinary into abundance. Do you not see in this miracle much that may comfort you? Nobody can work this mighty miracle of mercy but the Lord Jesus Christ, yet He can do it more swiftly than I can speak of it.

You speak of a third party and the wound of suspected unfaithfulness. I am not afraid for you, dear soul, that the marriage bond will lead you away from holiness if you know how sweet and dear Christ is. Relationships are precious things, but they are nothing compared with Him! He is the true Husband of His church, and to every believing heart He says, "You are My spouse, you are all My own. I love you better than I love Myself, for I did not spare Myself, but I died for you. I will love you whatever your infirmity and sin may be; I will love you till I have washed you and made you clean." Let this love sustain you when earthly love falters. The power of Christ to save and restore does not lie in the one needing help, it lies wholly in Jesus Himself.

You pray for restoration or an ending with peace. Think of Peter's restoration. It came through two small things, a cock's crow and a look from the Lord. That look severed Peter from the crowd and broke his heart into healing tears. If any of us have wandered, we may get such a restoration from the Lord that we become better Christians ever afterwards. Yet remember, till Peter had received from Christ's own mouth abundant assurance of his restoration, we do not find him again in the forefront. Wait upon the Lord; He will make all plain in His time. For your partner incarcerated, the same Lord who can rescue souls from the prison of sin can speak a word of life behind bars. The miracle is in His word.

Above all, anchor yourself here: "He loved me, and gave Himself for me." This is the miracle of miracles! A Christian is a miracle, a mass of miracles! Your very salvation is the first and greatest. Behold, what manner of love the Bridegroom has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the spouse of Christ! His love has made it so. Trust Him to work miracles in your circumstances; He will not forsake the work of His own hands.
 
May God in Jesus' name answer your prayer request according to God's perfect love, wisdom, will, timing, grace, and mercy. God is so in love with you. Be Encouraged!

Psalm 37:4: Delight yourself in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

Heal Me Lord Jesus Spirit, Soul, And Body

 
You are carrying more than one person should have to carry alone: sudden unemployment, fear for your children, a painful marriage, and the shadow of another person in it. The grief is real, and God is not indifferent to it.

About the work: bring your need for provision before God plainly. It is right to ask for a job with enough to care for your family. But do not let the loss of a job become the loss of your soul’s peace. Job did not cling to his goods when he had them, nor seek them as his main good when they were gone. He said, “The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away.” The enemy can strip away income and opportunity, but he only wins if he makes you curse God or despair. So ask boldly for daily bread, but ask first for the kingdom of God and His righteousness. If He gives you the better position, receive it with thanksgiving. If He gives you a smaller place for a season, do it faithfully and do not despise it, for such things are not your true life.

About the marriage: if this is a true marriage as God defines it, then the covenant is sacred. I will not ask God to bless a third party, because that is not a blessing God will give. If there is another person, that is adultery, and it defiles a covenant God made to be pure. I will pray that anything hidden is brought into the light, that the third-party bond is broken, and that your spouse comes to true repentance. If that repentance comes, restoration is right to desire and to pursue. If your spouse refuses and continues in unfaithfulness, you are not required to keep offering your heart to a covenant that is being betrayed. Forgiveness is not the same as accepting repeated adultery. You can forgive and still stand on the truth.

If the third party is only suspicion, do not let fear make you end a covenant that may still be intact. Seek the truth plainly, and let the church or trustworthy counsel help you walk through it. But do not call sin peace.

Let me pray this way for you: Lord, You see this parent trying to hold things together. Open a door of honest work and provide for the children. Break any hidden or open adultery. Convict the one who has wandered. If the marriage can be restored in truth and faithfulness according to Your word, restore it. If the other will not repent, protect this one from being dragged into repeated sin, and give wisdom, provision, and peace. Above all, give the kingdom that neither loss nor betrayal can take away. Amen.
