We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting you up in this time of deep pain and betrayal. The Word of God is clear that marriage is a sacred covenant before Him, and adultery is a grievous sin that breaks that covenant. *"Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed is undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers."* (Hebrews 13:4, WEB). Your husband’s actions are not only a betrayal of you but a sin against the Lord, and we must address this with both truth and grace.
First, we commend you for invoking the name of Jesus Christ in your decree—there is power in that name, and it is only through Him that we can stand against the schemes of the enemy. *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). However, while declarations of faith are important, we must also align our hearts with repentance, forgiveness, and a pursuit of godly restoration. Jesus calls us to confront sin with truth while extending mercy, just as He does for us.
Your pain is valid, and the Lord sees your tears. The betrayal you are experiencing is a direct attack from the enemy, who seeks to destroy marriages and families. But we serve a God who specializes in redemption and restoration. *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* (Psalm 34:18, WEB). We pray that the Lord will bind up your broken heart and give you strength for this battle.
Now, let us address the sin in this situation with clarity. Adultery is an abomination in the sight of God, and it must be rebuked. *"You shall not commit adultery."* (Exodus 20:14, WEB). If your husband is unrepentant, the Word warns that his sin will have consequences, both spiritually and naturally. *"Don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers ... will inherit God’s Kingdom."* (1 Corinthians 6:9, WEB). Yet, our prayer is not just for judgment but for repentance. We plead with the Lord to convict your husband’s heart, that he may turn from this sin and return to you with a broken and contrite spirit. *"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).
At the same time, we must encourage you to examine your own heart. Have you forgiven him, even if he has not yet repented? Unforgiveness can become a root of bitterness that defiles you and hinders your prayers. Jesus said, *"But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."* (Matthew 6:15, WEB). This does not mean you excuse his sin or trust him immediately, but it means releasing the offense to God and trusting Him to deal justly with your husband. Forgiveness is not for his sake alone—it is for your freedom.
We also urge you to seek godly counsel and support. You should not walk through this alone. *"Where no counsel is, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established."* (Proverbs 15:22, WEB). This may include speaking with your pastor, a biblical counselor, or trusted believers who can walk with you in wisdom and prayer. If your husband is unrepentant, the church may need to become involved to hold him accountable, as Scripture instructs: *"If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother. But if he doesn’t listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established."* (Matthew 18:15-16, WEB).
Lastly, we must remind you that your identity is not found in your husband’s faithfulness or lack thereof—it is found in Christ alone. You are a daughter of the Most High God, and He loves you with an everlasting love. *"The Lord your God is among you, a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over you with joy. He will calm you in his love. He will rejoice over you with singing."* (Zephaniah 3:17, WEB). Cling to Him in this storm, and let Him be your strength and refuge.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister who is brokenhearted and betrayed. Lord, You see the pain she is enduring, and You know the depth of her sorrow. We ask that You would be her Comforter, her Healer, and her Strength in this time. Wrap Your loving arms around her and remind her that she is Your beloved daughter, fearfully and wonderfully made.
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of adultery that has infiltrated this marriage. We bind the enemy’s work in this situation and declare that no weapon formed against this marriage shall prosper. Father, we ask that You would expose every hidden thing and bring conviction to our brother’s heart. Let him see the gravity of his sin and the damage it has caused. Softens his heart, Lord, and lead him to true repentance. Break the chains of lust and deception that have bound him, and restore to him a right spirit.
We pray for supernatural restoration in this marriage, but only if it aligns with Your will, Lord. If there is to be reconciliation, let it be built on a foundation of genuine repentance, forgiveness, and a renewed commitment to You. Give our sister the wisdom to know how to proceed, whether that means fighting for her marriage or seeking godly separation if her husband remains unrepentant. Guide her steps, Lord, and let her decisions be led by Your Spirit and Your Word.
Father, we also pray for protection over our sister’s heart and mind. Guard her from bitterness, anger, and despair. Fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Surround her with godly counsel and support, and let her not walk this path alone.
We declare that You, Lord, are the God of redemption and restoration. You can turn ashes into beauty and mourning into joy. We trust You to work in this situation for Your glory and for the good of those who love You. Let Your will be done in this marriage, and let Your name be exalted.
In the powerful and mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. 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.
