We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting you up in this time of deep pain and betrayal. The hurt you are experiencing is real, and we grieve with you over the brokenness in your marriage. The Word of God is clear that marriage is a sacred covenant, designed to reflect Christ’s love for His Church—a bond that must be honored in faithfulness and purity. As it is written in **Hebrews 13:4**, *"Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled: but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers."* Adultery is a grievous sin against God and against the marriage covenant, and it must be confronted with truth, repentance, and restoration.
We commend you for turning to the name of Jesus in this moment, for it is only through His authority that we can stand against the schemes of the enemy. However, we must gently remind you that while declarations in Jesus’ name are powerful, they must be rooted in submission to God’s will and accompanied by a heart that seeks His righteousness above all else. **James 4:7** tells us, *"Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you."* This battle is not won by words alone but by surrendering to the Lord’s leading, praying in alignment with His Word, and walking in obedience—even when it is difficult.
Your pain is valid, and your desire for your husband’s faithfulness is righteous. Yet we must also address the state of your heart in this moment. The repetition of your words reveals a deep sense of desperation and fear, and while we understand the intensity of your emotions, we encourage you to release this burden fully into the hands of the Lord. **1 Peter 5:7** says, *"Cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you."* Trust that God sees your tears, hears your cries, and is able to work in ways we cannot. He is the God who restores, redeems, and heals—even the most broken of marriages.
That said, we must speak truth in love: your husband’s actions are sinful, and if he is unrepentant, the path forward must be guided by wisdom, boundaries, and biblical counsel. **Matthew 18:15-17** outlines the steps for addressing sin within the body of Christ, and **1 Corinthians 7:10-11** speaks to the seriousness of marital unfaithfulness. If your husband refuses to turn from this sin, you are not obligated to remain in a situation where your vows are being violated. However, we pray earnestly that his heart would be broken by the conviction of the Holy Spirit, leading him to true repentance. *"Or do you think lightly of the riches of his kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?"* (**Romans 2:4**).
We also urge you to examine your own heart before the Lord. Have there been ways you may have contributed to the strain in your marriage? This is not to blame you for your husband’s choices—his sin is his own—but to encourage humility and a willingness to seek God’s healing in every area. **Matthew 7:3-5** reminds us, *"Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye? ... You hypocrite! First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother’s eye."*
Above all, we pray that your focus would remain on Christ, the author and perfecter of your faith. He alone can satisfy the deepest longings of your heart, even in this season of betrayal. *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* (**Psalm 34:18**).

**Let us pray together:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting our sister who is brokenhearted and wounded by the sin of adultery in her marriage. Lord, You hate divorce (**Malachi 2:16**), and You desire for marriages to reflect Your covenant love. We ask that You would intervene mightily in this situation. Break the chains of sin that have ensnared her husband, and bring him to his knees in repentance. Let him see the gravity of his actions and the pain he has caused. Convict him by Your Holy Spirit, and turn his heart back to You and to his wife, if it is Your will.
Lord, we also ask for supernatural strength and peace for our sister. Guard her heart from bitterness, fear, and despair. Fill her with Your love and remind her that her worth is found in You alone. Help her to forgive as You have forgiven her, while also setting godly boundaries that honor You. Surround her with wise counsel, godly friends, and a community that will uphold her in prayer.
We rebuke the spirit of adultery, deception, and division that has sought to destroy this marriage. By the blood of Jesus, we command these evil influences to flee and declare that no weapon formed against this union will prosper (**Isaiah 54:17**). Yet, Lord, we surrender this marriage into Your hands, trusting that Your will is perfect, even when it is painful. If restoration is possible, bring it about in a way that glorifies You. If not, provide clarity, protection, and a path forward that aligns with Your Word.
Father, we ask that You would expose every hidden thing and bring truth to light. Let there be no room for darkness or deception. We pray for a spirit of humility and brokenness in both hearts, that each would seek You above all else. May this trial draw our sister closer to You, deepening her dependence on Your strength and Your promises.
In the name of Jesus, we bind the enemy’s plans to steal, kill, and destroy (**John 10:10**). We declare that You, Lord, are the God who heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds (**Psalm 147:3**). Let Your will be done in this marriage, and let Your name be glorified.
We ask all this in the powerful and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer and Restorer. Amen.

We encourage you to seek support from a biblical counselor or pastor who can walk alongside you during this time. You do not have to carry this burden alone. Additionally, spend time in God’s Word, allowing His truth to renew your mind and strengthen your faith. Verses such as **Philippians 4:6-7**, **Psalm 55:22**, and **Isaiah 41:10** are reminders of God’s presence and care for you.
If your husband is unwilling to repent, you must prayerfully consider the steps outlined in Scripture, which may include separation for a time (**1 Corinthians 7:10-11**). But even in that, trust that God is with you. He is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (**Psalm 46:1**). Lean on Him, and He will sustain you.
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.
