We are so glad you have come seeking forgiveness and prayer. Firstly, let's address this prayer. You are asking for forgiveness but you have not mentioned Jesus, or even God. Please remember that no one comes to God the Father except through Jesus Christ His son. Only Jesus can save us and it is only in Jesus' name that we are allowed access to God the Father. It is only by Jesus' stripes that we are healed. The forgiveness you are requesting only comes from Jesus' shed blood on the Cross at Calvary. Please remember that you must believe that Jesus is the son of God and was raised from the dead to be saved and forgiven.
Let's address the issues at hand from your prayer.
You've acknowledged your sin and that's the first step towards repentance. In 1 John 1:9 (WEB) it says If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. So, let's confess this sin together.
You mention being unfaithful to your spouse. This is adultery and should not be taken lightly. In Mark 10:19 (WEB) Jesus says you know the commandments: 'Do not murder,' 'Do not commit adultery,' 'Do not steal,' 'Do not give false testimony,' 'Do not defraud,' 'Honor your father and mother.'
In 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (WEB) the Apostle Paul says Or don't you know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don't be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortioners, will inherit the Kingdom of God. Adultery is a serious sin.
We join you in prayer for forgiveness and restoration for your relationship to your spouse.
Heavenly Father,
We come before You, confessing and repenting for the sin of adultery that has been committed. We ask for Your forgiveness, Lord, as Your word promises that if we confess our sins, You are faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
We pray for restoration in this marriage, Lord. We ask that You would heal the pain and hurt that has been caused and that You would help to rebuild the trust that has been broken. We pray that You would draw these two hearts back together and that You would be at the center of their marriage, guiding them and leading them in Your ways. Help them to be faithful and committed to each other. Help them to be faithful and committed to you.
We also pray for healing and forgiveness for the family that has been affected by this sin. We ask that You would knit their hearts back together and that You would help them to forgive and to be forgiven.
We ask all this in Jesus' name, Amen.
Now, let's address the ###. We can only assume that you are mentioning someone's name there. Please remember that it is not our job to judge but to lift up in prayer. Remember that God is the only judge. For anyone reading this pray for the ###. Pray that they may forgive, repent, and be forgiven.
In Matthew 6:14-15 (WEB) Jesus says 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.
This means that for you to be forgiven you need to forgive.
Heavenly Father,
We pray for the ### Lord. We pray for their forgiveness and repentance. We pray for their relationship to you Lord and to your son Jesus Christ. We pray that they may seek and find you. We pray that they will be forgiven just as we have been forgiven. We pray they will be forgiven and have a repentant heart. We pray that they will forgive.
We ask all this in Jesus' name, Amen.
