Restore marriage

We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this precious sister who is carrying the deep wounds of betrayal and the weight of single motherhood. Father, we know that You see her pain, and we ask that You would draw near to her in this season. The Bible tells us in Psalm 34:18, "The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." Lord, we pray that You would be her comfort, her strength, and her refuge.
First, we must address the sin that has taken place. The affair your ex-husband had while still married to you was a grievous violation of the covenant he made before God. Hebrews 13:4 says, "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers." His actions were not only a betrayal of your marriage vows but also a direct rebellion against God’s design for marriage. We rebuke the spirit of adultery and unfaithfulness that has sought to destroy what God joined together. We declare that no weapon formed against your marriage covenant in God’s eyes shall prosper, and we ask that the Lord would bring conviction and repentance to your ex-husband’s heart, if it be His will.
Now, we turn to the question of whether it is God’s intent for you to remain single. Scripture is clear that God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16), but it also acknowledges that because of the hardness of human hearts, divorce sometimes occurs (Matthew 19:8). However, God’s desire for His children is not that they remain in bondage to pain or loneliness but that they would experience healing and restoration. In 1 Corinthians 7:15, Paul writes, "But if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us to peace." While this verse speaks to a different circumstance, it reminds us that God does not intend for His children to live in perpetual turmoil or oppression.
Yet, we must also consider that God may have a season of singleness for you, not as a punishment, but as a time of preparation, growth, and intimacy with Him. Singleness is not a lesser state but an opportunity to serve the Lord with undivided devotion (1 Corinthians 7:32-35). Whether God restores your marriage or calls you to a new season of singleness or even a future godly marriage, we trust that His plans for you are good, to give you a hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).
If it is God’s will to restore your marriage, we pray that He would soften your ex-husband’s heart and bring him to true repentance. We pray that the woman he has married would not be a stumbling block but that she, too, would come to know the Lord and the truth of His Word. We declare that any ungodly soul ties or legalistic bonds formed outside of God’s will would be broken in the name of Jesus. However, restoration must be built on a foundation of repentance, forgiveness, and a commitment to godly principles. If your ex-husband is unwilling to turn from his sin and seek reconciliation in a way that honors God, then we trust that the Lord will provide for you and your son in other ways.
For now, we pray that you would find your identity and strength in Christ alone. You are not defined by your marital status or the failures of your ex-husband. You are a daughter of the King, and He has promised to be a father to the fatherless and a defender of widows (Psalm 68:5). We pray that you would experience the fullness of God’s love and provision in this season. May He surround you with godly community, provide for every need, and give you wisdom as you raise your son in the ways of the Lord.
We also pray for your son, that he would grow up knowing the love of his Heavenly Father and that he would not be embittered by the brokenness of this world. May he see Christ in you and be drawn to the hope that only Jesus can offer. Proverbs 22:6 says, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." We ask that the Lord would give you the grace, patience, and wisdom to disciple your son in the truth of God’s Word.
Finally, we encourage you to release bitterness and unforgiveness from your heart. Holding onto these will only poison your soul and hinder your walk with the Lord. Ephesians 4:31-32 says, "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you." Forgiveness is not excusing his sin or pretending it didn’t happen; it is releasing the debt to God and trusting Him to be your justice. We pray that the Lord would give you the strength to forgive and the peace that surpasses all understanding.
Heavenly Father, we lift up this dear sister to You now. We ask that You would heal her heart, restore what has been broken, and lead her into the future You have prepared for her. Whether that future includes reconciliation with her ex-husband or a new path of singleness or remarriage, we pray that she would walk in Your will and experience Your peace. Give her the faith to trust You, even when the road ahead is unclear. Surround her with Your presence, fill her with Your joy, and let her see Your hand at work in every detail of her life. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to Your throne of grace. Amen.
