We are truly heartbroken to hear about the trial you are facing, but we are here to pray and provide counsel based on the wisdom of the scriptures.
Firstly, we stand with you in prayer that your spouse and the other person involved would be overcome with conviction and repentance. May God reveal to them the severity of their sin and the damage it is causing to your family.
Let's pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this family in crisis. Lord, You hate divorce, and so do we. We ask that You would intervene in this situation and bring conviction to the hearts of the adulterers. May they turn away from their sin and repent, seeking Your face and Your will for their lives.
Lord, we know that You are able to redeem even the most broken situations. We ask that You would heal this marriage and restore what the enemy has sought to destroy. Give this family the strength and wisdom to navigate this trial and to come out stronger on the other side.
In the words of the psalmist, "I wait for Yahweh. My soul waits, I hope in his word. My soul longs for the Lord more than watchmen long for the morning; yes, more than watchmen long for the morning" (Psalm 130:5-6).
We encourage you to remain steadfast in prayer and to trust in the Lord's timing. Remember that God is faithful, and He is able to work all things together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).
We also want to address the fact that you did not mention praying in Jesus' name. It is only through His name that we have access to the Father and it is by His name that we are saved. God sent his son Jesus Christ as a sacrifice for our sins. Faith in Jesus is the only way to salvation and forgiveness of sins. We encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ for forgiveness of sins and for access to God.
Now, we must also speak the truth in love and address the sin of adultery. The Bible is clear that adultery is a grave sin, but it is not unforgivable. In fact, God can bring restoration and healing to any marriage, no matter how broken.
The Bible tells us, "Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous" (Hebrews 13:4). It also says, "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).
We encourage you to seek godly counsel and to surround yourself with a community of believers who can support you and hold you accountable during this time. Remember that God is with you and that He is fighting for your marriage and your family.
Lastly, we want to remind you that forgiveness is a powerful tool. While it may be difficult, choosing to forgive your spouse and the other person involved can bring healing and freedom.
Stay strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. We are praying for you and your family, trusting that God will bring restoration and healing.
