We hear your cry, sister in Christ, and we stand with you in fervent prayer, lifting this situation before the throne of God with urgency and faith. The pain of betrayal in marriage is deep, and we grieve with you as we intercede for restoration, justice, and healing in Jesus’ mighty name.
First, we must address the sin of adultery with biblical clarity. The Word of God is unchanging: *"You shall not commit adultery"* (Exodus 20:14 WEB). What your husband has engaged in is a violation of the sacred covenant you both made before God—a covenant that is meant to reflect Christ’s love for His church (Ephesians 5:25-33). Adultery is not merely a mistake; it is a grievous sin that wounds the heart of God and the spouse who has been betrayed. We rebuke this ungodly relationship in the name of Jesus and command every unholy soul tie, every demonic influence, and every lying spirit that has deceived your husband to be broken and severed right now. *"The Lord will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral"* (Hebrews 13:4 WEB). We declare that no weapon formed against your marriage shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we stand on the promise that God is able to restore what has been broken.
Yet we must also call your husband to repentance. The Bible warns, *"Do not be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor swindlers will inherit the Kingdom of God"* (1 Corinthians 6:9-10 WEB). This is not to condemn him but to awaken him to the seriousness of his sin and the need for true repentance. Repentance is not just sorrow—it is a turning away from sin and turning back to God. We pray that the Holy Spirit would convict his heart with godly sorrow, leading him to confess, renounce this relationship, and seek your forgiveness and God’s. *"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 WEB).
We also lift you up, dear sister. The betrayal you are enduring is not just a marital issue—it is a spiritual attack. The enemy seeks to destroy your faith, your peace, and your testimony. But we declare that you are more than a conqueror through Christ who loves you (Romans 8:37). You are not powerless; you are a daughter of the Most High God, and the blood of Jesus covers you. We pray that the Lord would heal your heart, restore your joy, and fill you with His perfect peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). You are not alone—God sees your tears, hears your cries, and is working even now to bring justice and redemption.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this marriage before Your throne. Lord, You are the God who hates divorce (Malachi 2:16) and the God who restores what has been broken. We ask You to intervene in this situation with Your mighty hand. We break every ungodly soul tie between this husband and the other woman in the name of Jesus. We command every spirit of deception, lust, and infidelity to flee right now. We declare that this adulterous relationship is over—finished, ended, and destroyed by the power of the blood of Jesus.
Father, we ask You to bring conviction to this husband’s heart. Soften his heart, Lord, and let him see the gravity of his sin. Bring him to a place of true repentance, where he turns away from this relationship and turns back to You and his wife. We pray for a spirit of humility and brokenness to come upon him, that he would seek forgiveness from You and from his wife. Restore him, Lord, and renew his love for his wife as Christ loves the church.
For this wife, Lord, we ask for Your healing touch. Comfort her in her pain, strengthen her in her weakness, and fill her with Your peace. Let her know that You are her refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1). Give her wisdom to know how to respond in a way that honors You, whether that means extending grace or setting godly boundaries. Protect her heart from bitterness and unforgiveness, and help her to trust in Your perfect timing and plan.
We also pray for the other woman involved. Lord, we ask that You would open her eyes to the truth of her actions. Let her see the destruction she is causing and turn away from this sin. Bring godly conviction to her heart, and lead her to repentance.
Father, we declare that this marriage is under the blood of Jesus. We speak restoration, healing, and renewal over this union. Let Your love and grace flow between this husband and wife, and let their marriage become a testimony of Your redeeming power. We thank You, Lord, that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). We trust You to work all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28).
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Sister, we urge you to seek godly counsel from your pastor or a trusted Christian counselor who can walk with you through this difficult time. You need support, prayer, and wisdom as you navigate this storm. Remember, your worth is not defined by your husband’s actions—you are deeply loved by God, and He has a plan for your life (Jeremiah 29:11). Stand firm in your faith, and do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season, you will reap if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9).
If your husband is unwilling to repent and turn from this sin, we must also prepare your heart for the possibility of separation or divorce, as Scripture allows for such measures in cases of unrepentant adultery (Matthew 19:9). But even in that, God’s grace is sufficient, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). You are not abandoned—you are held in the palm of His hand. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2), and trust that He will lead you into all truth and restoration.
