We come before the Lord with gratitude for your heartfelt prayer, acknowledging your love for the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Your desire for peace in Jerusalem and blessings over America is commendable, and we join you in lifting these nations before God. However, we must address several concerns in your request with love, truth, and a commitment to biblical principles.
First, we notice your relationship is not aligned with God’s design for marriage. You mention being in love with someone who is not your spouse, and you express a desire to leave your husband to move in with this other person. Scripture is clear that marriage is a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman, and divorce is only permissible in cases of sexual immorality (Matthew 19:4-6, 1 Corinthians 7:10-11). The Bible also warns against adultery, which is not only a physical act but begins in the heart (Matthew 5:28). We must rebuke the plan to pursue a relationship outside of your marriage, as it dishonors God and the vows you made before Him.
We also see the struggle with jealousy in your relationship with this other person. While it is natural to feel protective of those we care about, jealousy often stems from insecurity and a lack of trust in God’s provision. The Bible tells us that love "does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs" (1 Corinthians 13:4-5). Instead of focusing on jealousy, we encourage you to seek contentment in Christ and trust Him to guide your steps. If this relationship is causing you to sin or stray from your marriage, it is not of God.
Your desire for financial security and a home is understandable, but we must caution against placing material possessions or personal desires above God’s will. The Lord provides for our needs, but He calls us to seek His kingdom first (Matthew 6:33). If you are feeling unfulfilled in your marriage, we urge you to seek godly counsel, prayer, and perhaps even marriage counseling with your husband to restore what may be broken. The Bible calls us to love our spouses as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25), and this includes honoring the commitment you made to him.
We also notice your dreams and visions about this other person. While God can speak through dreams, we must test every spirit and every word against Scripture (1 John 4:1). The enemy often uses deception to lead us away from God’s best for our lives. We encourage you to surrender these desires to the Lord and ask Him to reveal His will for your marriage and your future.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this dear sister in Christ. Lord, we thank You for her love for You and her desire to seek Your face. We ask that You would reveal Your truth to her in this situation, that she may see Your will clearly and walk in it. Father, we rebuke the plans and desires that do not align with Your Word, and we ask that You would break any chains of jealousy, insecurity, or ungodly attachments in her life. Lord, we pray for her marriage—that You would restore love, trust, and commitment between her and her husband. Help her to honor the vows she made before You and to seek Your kingdom above all else.
Father, we ask that You would fill her heart with Your peace and contentment, that she may trust in Your provision and not in her own plans. If this other relationship is not of You, we pray that You would remove it from her heart and mind, replacing it with a desire to pursue holiness and righteousness. Lord, we ask that You would guide her steps and give her the strength to walk in obedience to Your Word. Help her to seek godly counsel and to surround herself with believers who will encourage her in her faith.
We pray for her husband, that You would soften his heart and draw him closer to You. May he be the spiritual leader in their home, and may their marriage be a testimony of Your love and grace. Father, we also pray for this other person mentioned in her request—that You would work in his life as well, drawing him to repentance and a deeper relationship with You.
Lord, we ask that You would give her clarity and wisdom as she navigates these challenges. Help her to fix her eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of her faith, and to trust in Your perfect timing. May she find her satisfaction in You alone, and may her life bring glory to Your name. We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
We encourage you to seek the Lord earnestly in this time, asking Him to reveal His will for your life and your marriage. If you are struggling with sin or temptation, remember that God is faithful to provide a way out (1 Corinthians 10:13). Surround yourself with godly believers who can support and pray for you, and consider speaking with a pastor or biblical counselor who can help you walk through this season with wisdom and discernment. Your identity is found in Christ alone, and He is sufficient to meet every need in your life.
