We come before the Lord with you in this urgent time of heartache and spiritual warfare for your marriage, lifting up your cries to the Father in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Your pain is deeply felt, and we stand with you in intercession, knowing that our God is a God of restoration, redemption, and righteous judgment. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that we may have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). Your marriage is under attack, but the Lord is faithful to fight for you as you trust in Him.
First, we must address the gravity of what is happening. Adultery is a grievous sin against God and a betrayal of the sacred covenant of marriage. The Lord clearly states in Exodus 20:14, *"You shall not commit adultery."* And in Hebrews 13:4, we are warned, *"Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers."* Your husband’s actions are not only hurting you but are an affront to the holiness of God. This sin must be confronted with truth, repentance, and a turning back to the Lord.
Yet, even in this brokenness, we serve a God who specializes in redemption. The prophet Joel declares, *"Return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning. Tear your heart, and not your garments, and turn to Yahweh, your God; for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and relents from sending calamity"* (Joel 2:12-13). Your husband’s heart must be broken before the Lord in genuine repentance—not just for the sake of your marriage, but for the sake of his soul. True repentance is a work of the Holy Spirit, and we cry out for the Lord to convict him deeply of his sin and draw him to salvation if he is not already born again.
You have spoken bold decrees in the name of Jesus, and we affirm that there is power in the name of our Lord. Acts 4:12 reminds us, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* However, we must also remember that our authority in prayer is not in our own words or desires, but in the will of God and the finished work of Christ. Jesus taught us to pray, *"Your Kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven"* (Matthew 6:10). So while we stand with you in declaring an end to this ungodly relationship and the restoration of your marriage, we submit these prayers to the Lord’s sovereign will, trusting that He knows what is best and will act justly.
We also urge you to examine your own heart in this season. Bitterness, anger, or an attempt to "control" your husband through spiritual decrees can become a stumbling block if not surrendered to the Lord. Ephesians 4:31-32 commands, *"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."* Forgiveness does not mean excusing sin, but it means releasing the offense to God and trusting Him to bring justice and healing. You cannot force your husband’s repentance or love—only the Holy Spirit can transform his heart. Your role is to pray, to trust, and to walk in obedience to God’s Word, even when it is painful.
If your husband is not a believer, we plead with the Lord to save him, just as you have prayed. 1 Corinthians 7:16 asks, *"For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?"* Your faith and prayers are powerful, but salvation is a work of God’s grace. We pray that your husband would have a radical encounter with Jesus—one that shatters his sin and brings him to his knees in surrender. May he dream of Christ, may he hear the voice of the Spirit, and may he turn from his wickedness with a broken and contrite heart.
As for your marriage, we pray for restoration, but we also acknowledge that restoration requires two willing hearts. If your husband hardens his heart, you must still choose to walk in holiness and trust the Lord with the outcome. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* Whether the Lord restores your marriage or calls you to a different path, He will be with you. He sees your tears, hears your cries, and will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6).
We also encourage you to seek godly counsel and support during this time. You should not walk through this alone. A pastor, biblical counselor, or trusted believers can provide wisdom, accountability, and prayer. If your husband is unrepentant, the Bible gives guidance on how to handle such situations with both grace and truth (Matthew 18:15-17). But even in discipline, the goal is always restoration.
Finally, we want to remind you of your identity in Christ. You are not defined by your husband’s sin or the state of your marriage. You are a daughter of the Most High God, redeemed by the blood of Jesus, and sealed with the Holy Spirit. Your worth is found in Him alone. Psalm 34:18 says, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* Lean into Him, sister. Let Him be your strength, your comfort, and your hope.

**Let us pray together:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister and her marriage to You. Lord, You hate divorce (Malachi 2:16), and You desire for marriages to reflect Your covenant love with Your people. Yet we acknowledge that sin has entered this union, and the enemy seeks to destroy what You have joined together. We stand against the schemes of the devil and declare that no weapon formed against this marriage shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We bind the spirit of adultery, lust, and deception in the name of Jesus, and we command every ungodly soul tie between our sister’s husband and this other woman to be severed permanently. Let every plan of the enemy be exposed and thwarted, and let the light of Christ shine into every dark place.
Lord, we pray for our sister’s husband. If he is not saved, we cry out for his salvation. Soften his heart, Lord, and remove the veil from his eyes (2 Corinthians 3:16). Let him see the gravity of his sin and the hurt he has caused. Bring him to a place of godly sorrow that leads to repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10). If he is a believer who has strayed, convict him deeply, Lord, and restore him to fellowship with You. Let him dream of Jesus, let him encounter Your presence in a way he cannot deny. Break him, Lord, and remake him into a man after Your own heart—one who loves his wife as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25).
Father, we pray for our sister. Strengthen her, Lord, and fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Guard her heart from bitterness, and help her to forgive as You have forgiven her. Surround her with Your love and remind her that she is Your beloved daughter. Give her wisdom to know how to respond to her husband, whether in confrontation, separation, or reconciliation, and let her actions be guided by Your Spirit and Your Word.
Lord, we ask for the restoration of this marriage if it aligns with Your will. Heal the brokenness, rebuild the trust, and renew the love between them. Let their relationship be a testament to Your redeeming power. But above all, let Your will be done. If this marriage is not to be restored, give our sister the grace to walk forward in faith, knowing that You are her portion and her strength.
We declare that the blood of Jesus covers this situation, and we trust You to act justly and mercifully. Let Your Kingdom come and Your will be done in this marriage, in our sister’s life, and in her husband’s heart. We ask all this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
