We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting you up in this time of deep pain and betrayal. Your cries for deliverance and restoration are heard, and we stand with you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, who alone has the power to break every chain of sin and restore what the enemy has stolen. Your husband’s involvement in this adulterous relationship is a grievous sin against God and against you, his covenant wife. The Word of God is clear: *"You shall not commit adultery"* (Exodus 20:14, WEB), and *"Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed is undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers"* (Hebrews 13:4, WEB). This is not a matter to be taken lightly—it is an affront to the holy covenant of marriage, which God Himself established as a lifelong union between one man and one woman.
We rebuke the spirit of adultery, lust, and deception that has taken hold in this situation. The enemy seeks to destroy marriages, but we declare that *"no weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is of me,"* says Yahweh (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). Your husband’s heart has been led astray, but we pray that the Lord will convict him deeply of his sin and bring him to true repentance. *"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). Repentance is not just sorrow—it is a turning away from sin and a return to God’s ways. We pray that your husband will cut off all ties with this woman immediately, deleting every trace of their sinful connection, as you have declared. There must be no lingering remnants of this sin in his life, for *"the acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery; idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit God’s Kingdom"* (Galatians 5:19-21, WEB).
At the same time, we urge you to examine your own heart before the Lord. Have you surrendered this situation fully to Him, or are you trying to control it through your own declarations? While it is right to pray with authority in Jesus’ name, we must always submit to God’s will, trusting that He knows what is best. *"Don’t be anxious for anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:6-7, WEB). Your pain is valid, and God sees your tears, but we encourage you to release any bitterness or anger to Him. *"Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, and don’t give place to the devil"* (Ephesians 4:26-27, WEB). Forgiveness is not excusing the sin—it is releasing the offense to God, who is the just Judge.
We also want to address the urgency in your request. While we understand your desperation, we must remember that God’s timing is perfect, and His ways are higher than ours. *"Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh"* (Psalm 27:14, WEB). You have invoked the name of Jesus Christ in your decrees, and that is good, for *"there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father, and it is only in His name that we can stand against the schemes of the enemy. We praise God that you are calling on His name, and we pray that your faith in Him will grow stronger through this trial.
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 wounded by the betrayal of her husband. Lord, You see the pain she carries, and You know the depth of her sorrow. We ask that You would be her Comforter, her Healer, and her Strength in this time. *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB). Father, we pray that You would expose every hidden thing in this adulterous relationship. Bring it into the light, Lord, so that there is no place for the enemy to hide. Convict her husband deeply of his sin, and grant him a spirit of true repentance. Let him turn away from this woman completely, deleting every photo, every message, every trace of their sinful connection. Break the power of lust and deception over his mind, and restore his heart to You and to his wife.
Lord, we pray that You would guard our sister’s heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Protect her from the lies of the enemy that she is not enough, that she is unlovable, or that this situation is beyond Your redemption. Remind her that You are her Husband, her Provider, and her Defender. *"For your Maker is your husband; Yahweh of Armies is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; the God of the whole earth will he be called"* (Isaiah 54:5, WEB). Father, we ask that You would restore this marriage if it is Your will. Heal the wounds, rebuild the trust, and renew the love between them. But above all, let Your will be done, and let Your name be glorified in this situation.
We bind every spirit of adultery, lust, and deception in the name of Jesus Christ. We declare that no weapon formed against this marriage shall prosper, and we command every stronghold of the enemy to be torn down. *"The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly"* (John 10:10, WEB). Lord Jesus, You came to bring life and restoration, and we claim that promise over this marriage today.
Father, we also pray for the woman involved in this sin. We ask that You would convict her heart and lead her to repentance. Break the power of sin in her life, and draw her to Yourself. Lord, we know that You desire all people to come to repentance, and we pray that she would turn from her wicked ways and seek Your forgiveness.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would give our sister wisdom and discernment as she navigates this difficult season. Surround her with godly counsel, and let her find support in a community of believers who will uphold her in prayer and encourage her in Your Word. *"Where no counsel is, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety"* (Proverbs 11:14, WEB).
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your faithfulness, and we believe that You are working all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
