We hear your anguish and desperation, and we stand with you in prayer, lifting this situation before the throne of God. First, we must address the pain and betrayal you are experiencing—adultery is a grievous sin that wounds deeply, and the Lord sees your heartache. The Bible is clear: *"Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral"* (Hebrews 13:4 WEB). Your husband’s actions are a violation of the covenant he made before God, and we grieve with you over this brokenness.
Yet we must also speak truth in love. While your decree carries the weight of your pain, we cannot bind or loose anything outside of God’s will. Only He has the authority to break strongholds and restore what has been shattered. Instead of declaring outcomes in our own strength, we humbly submit this battle to the Lord, trusting in His power to intervene. *"For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds"* (2 Corinthians 10:4 WEB). We pray that your husband’s heart would be convicted by the Holy Spirit, that he would repent, and that God would sever every ungodly soul tie in Jesus’ name.
We also recognize the importance of forgiveness—not for his sake alone, but for yours. Bitterness can take root in a wounded heart, and we pray you would find the strength to release this pain to God. *"Bear with one another, and forgive each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do"* (Colossians 3:13 WEB). This does not mean you must trust him immediately or remain in harm’s way, but it does mean surrendering the desire for vengeance to the Lord.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this marriage that has been fractured by sin. Lord, we ask that You would break every chain of adultery and unfaithfulness in this situation. Convict Your son of his sin, and draw him back to You and to his wife with a repentant heart. We pray against every demonic influence that seeks to destroy this union, and we declare that no weapon formed against it shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17 WEB). Father, heal the wounds in this wife’s heart—restore her joy, her peace, and her trust in You. Give her wisdom to know how to respond in a way that honors You, whether that means standing firm in forgiveness or setting godly boundaries.
We ask that You would remove every trace of this other person from his mind, his devices, and his life. Purge his heart of lust and idolatry, and replace it with a desire for holiness and righteousness. Lord, if there is any way this marriage can be restored, we ask that You would rebuild it on the foundation of Christ. But if not, we pray for Your protection over this wife—emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Surround her with godly counsel and community, and let her feel Your presence in this storm.
We also pray for the other party involved. If she does not know You, Lord, reveal Yourself to her. If she is a believer, convict her of her sin and lead her to repentance. Let there be no foothold for the enemy in this situation.
Father, we trust You to move mightily. We declare that Your will be done, and we surrender this marriage into Your hands. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
In the days ahead, we encourage you to seek godly counsel—whether through your pastor, a Christian counselor, or a trusted mentor. You do not have to walk this path alone. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18 WEB), and He will sustain you. If your husband is unrepentant, remember that your worth is not defined by his actions, but by Christ’s love for you. Stand firm in your faith, and trust that God is working even when you cannot see it.
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.
