We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting you up in this time of deep pain and betrayal. The anguish you are experiencing is seen by God, and He cares deeply for your broken heart. Infidelity is a grievous sin, a violation of the sacred covenant of marriage that God established between a man and a woman. As it is written, *"Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed is undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers."* (Hebrews 13:4, WEB). Adultery is an abomination before the Lord, and we must confront it with both truth and grace, trusting in God’s justice and mercy.
Your cries for deliverance are heard, and we join you in praying for the complete severing of this ungodly relationship that has ensnared your husband. We declare that every tie, every communication, every emotional and physical bond between your husband and this woman—or any other—is broken by the power of the blood of Jesus Christ. *"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 from me,” says Yahweh."* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). We stand on this promise, believing that God will dismantle every scheme of the enemy that seeks to destroy your marriage.
Yet, as we pray for the removal of this woman and the restoration of your husband’s devotion to you alone, we must also address the state of his heart. Adultery begins in the heart, as Jesus taught: *"But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart."* (Matthew 5:28, WEB). Your husband’s actions reveal a heart that has strayed from God’s design for marriage, and true repentance is required. We pray that the Holy Spirit would convict him deeply of his sin, leading him to genuine repentance and a turning away from this wickedness. *"Create in him a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within him."* (Psalm 51:10, WEB).
We also urge you to examine your own heart in this season. The pain of betrayal can easily give way to bitterness, anger, or even despair, but the Lord calls us to forgive as He has forgiven us. *"And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your transgressions."* (Mark 11:25, WEB). Forgiveness does not excuse the sin or minimize the pain, but it releases the burden to God, who is the ultimate judge. Trust that He will deal justly with your husband and this woman, for *"vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord."* (Romans 12:19, WEB).
As you seek the Lord’s intervention, we encourage you to lean entirely on Him. Your worth and identity are not found in your husband’s faithfulness but in Christ alone. You are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and God’s love for you is steadfast and unchanging. If your husband refuses to repent, remember that God sees your suffering and will sustain you. *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* (Psalm 34:18, WEB).
We also want to remind you of the power of praying *in the name of Jesus*. You have invoked His name in your decrees, and this is right and good, for *"there is no other name under heaven that has been 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 in His authority that we can boldly approach the throne of grace. Your faith in His name is your strength, and we commend you for it.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting our sister who is brokenhearted and betrayed. Lord, You see the depths of her pain, and You know the wickedness that has invaded her marriage. We ask You to intervene with Your mighty hand and break every ungodly soul tie between her husband and this woman—or any other—who has come against Your holy covenant of marriage. Lord, we decree that every communication, every thought, every emotional and physical connection is severed *permanently* by the power of the blood of Jesus. Remove this woman from his life completely—from his phone, his social media, his workplace, his thoughts, and his heart. Let no trace of her remain, for Your Word declares that what God has joined together, no man—or woman—should separate.
Father, we pray for our sister’s husband, that You would convict him deeply of his sin. Let him see the destruction he has caused and the grievous nature of his adultery before You. Bring him to true repentance, Lord, that he may turn from this wickedness and seek Your forgiveness and the forgiveness of his wife. Restore to him a right spirit, and renew his mind with Your truth. If he refuses to repent, Lord, expose his deeds and let the consequences of his actions lead him to brokenness before You.
We pray for our sister, that You would surround her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Guard her heart from bitterness, and fill her with Your comfort. Remind her daily of her worth in Christ and Your unfailing love for her. Give her wisdom to know how to proceed, whether that means reconciliation or separation, and grant her the strength to walk in obedience to Your will.
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of adultery, lust, and deception that has infiltrated this marriage. We bind these spirits in the name of Jesus and command them to flee. Let Your holy fire purify this union, and let Your will be done. If it is Your desire to restore this marriage, we pray for complete healing and a love that is stronger and more Christ-centered than before. If it is not Your will, we pray for our sister’s protection, provision, and a future that is filled with Your hope and redemption.
We thank You, Father, that You are a God of justice and mercy. We trust in Your timing and Your ways, even when we do not understand. Let Your kingdom come and Your will be done in this situation. We pray all these things in the powerful and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
