We grieve with you over the deep pain of betrayal and abandonment you are experiencing. The heartbreak of a spouse turning away and breaking covenantal vows is a wound that cuts deeply, and we want you to know that God sees your tears and hears your cries. The Scriptures remind us that *"the Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB). Your pain is not unseen by Him, and He is your refuge in this storm.
Yet we must also speak truth in love, for God’s Word is clear about the sanctity of marriage and the gravity of the vows made before Him. Your husband has not only broken his commitment to you but has entered into another marriage, which the Bible defines as adultery. Jesus Himself said, *"Whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries her when she is divorced commits adultery"* (Matthew 19:9, WEB). While your longing for reconciliation is understandable, we must submit our desires to God’s will and His righteousness. The Bible does not support praying for the dissolution of another marriage, even in pain, for *"what God has joined together, let no man separate"* (Mark 10:9, WEB). Instead, we must trust that God’s justice and mercy will prevail, even when our hearts ache for what was lost.
That said, we do lift you up in prayer, asking the Lord to heal your heart and restore your hope in Him. The pain of rejection can make us feel unlovable, but the truth is that you are deeply loved by the Father. *"The Lord your God is in the midst of you, a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over you with joy. He will calm you in his love. He will rejoice over you with singing"* (Zephaniah 3:17, WEB). Your identity is not found in your husband’s choices but in Christ’s unfailing love for you. He alone can fill the emptiness and bring peace that surpasses understanding.
We also pray for your husband, not that he would return to you in a way that violates God’s Word, but that he would come to repentance and surrender his life to Christ. True transformation begins with a heart turned toward God, not merely toward another person. *"Or do you think lightly of the riches of his goodness, tolerance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?"* (Romans 2:4, WEB). Only the Holy Spirit can convict and change a heart, and we ask that God would work in his life for His glory.
Sister, we urge you to guard your heart against bitterness or idolizing this relationship. It is natural to mourn what has been lost, but we must not allow our longing for a man to replace our devotion to Christ. *"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord. Trust also in him, and he will do this"* (Psalm 37:4-5, WEB). This does not mean God will give you your husband back, but it means that as you seek Him first, He will align your desires with His perfect will. He may have a future for you that you cannot yet see—one of redemption, joy, and a godly marriage that honors Him.
Lastly, we noticed that your request did not invoke the name of Jesus, and we want to gently remind you that there is no other name by which we can approach the Father. *"Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me’* (John 14:6, WEB). It is only through Christ that we have access to God’s throne of grace, and it is in His name that we pray with authority. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we implore you to do so. He alone can heal your broken heart and give you eternal hope. *"If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9, WEB).

**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we lift our sister before You, asking that You would be her Comforter and Healer in this season of deep sorrow. Lord, her heart is shattered by betrayal, and she feels the weight of abandonment. We ask that You would wrap her in Your love and remind her that she is seen, known, and cherished by You. Father, guard her heart from bitterness and idolatry, and help her to release this situation into Your hands. Give her the strength to trust You, even when the path ahead is unclear.
We pray for her husband, that You would convict his heart and draw him to repentance. Soften his spirit, Lord, and let him see the gravity of his choices. Yet we submit this to Your will, knowing that You alone are just and righteous. If it is Your will for reconciliation, let it be done in a way that honors You and aligns with Your Word. If not, give our sister the grace to surrender and the faith to believe that You have a future for her that is good.
Father, we ask that You would restore her joy and fill her with Your peace. Surround her with godly community who can walk alongside her in this valley. Open doors for her to experience Your love in tangible ways, and if it is Your will, prepare her heart for a godly marriage in the future—one that reflects Your covenant faithfulness.
We rebuke the spirit of despair and rejection that seeks to overwhelm her. In the name of Jesus, we declare that she is not defined by her circumstances but by Your love. Holy Spirit, fill her with Your presence and guide her steps. Let her testimony be one of Your redemption and grace.
We ask all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
