We hear the deep anguish and urgency in your heart, and we join you in lifting this situation before the Lord, for He alone is the restorer of marriages and the healer of broken hearts. Your pain is seen, and your cries have not gone unnoticed by our Heavenly Father, who cares deeply for you, your husband, and the covenant of your marriage. We will pray fervently over this, but first, let us address a few things with truth and love, for God’s Word must be our foundation in all things.
You have invoked the name of Jesus Christ in your decrees, and this is good, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, and through which we have access to the Father. As Scripture declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, 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 the authority of Jesus that we can stand against the schemes of the enemy and see transformation in our lives and marriages. Your faith in calling upon His name is a testament to your trust in His power, and we commend you for that.
However, we must gently remind you that while declarations and decrees have their place in prayer, they must always be submitted to the Lord’s will and aligned with His Word. Our authority comes from Christ, and we must never assume His role or speak as though our words alone carry the power to command outcomes. Instead, we humbly petition the Lord, trusting in His sovereignty and timing. Jesus taught us to pray, *"Your Kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven"* (Matthew 6:10, WEB). Let us always surrender our desires to His perfect will, even as we boldly ask for His intervention.
Now, regarding the sin of adultery—whether physical or emotional—it is a grievous violation of God’s design for marriage. The Lord is clear in His Word: *"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). Adultery brings destruction, but the good news is that God is a God of redemption. If your husband has strayed, the Lord can turn his heart back to you and to Himself. This begins with repentance—both for your husband and for you, if there has been any bitterness, unforgiveness, or idolatry in your heart. Repentance is not something we can force upon another; it is a work of the Holy Spirit. Your role is to pray, to trust, and to walk in obedience to God’s Word, even in the midst of this storm.
We also notice the intensity of your focus on the other person involved in this sin. While it is natural to feel anger and pain toward them, we must be careful not to let our hearts become consumed by bitterness or vengeance. The Lord says, *"Don’t say, ‘I will pay back evil.’ Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you"* (Proverbs 20:22, WEB). Your battle is not against flesh and blood but against the spiritual forces of darkness that seek to destroy marriages (Ephesians 6:12). Let us direct our prayers against the enemy’s schemes, not the individuals he is using. Pray for the other person’s salvation and repentance as well, for the Lord desires that all would come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).
As for your marriage, we stand with you in praying for restoration. God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16), and He is able to heal even the deepest wounds. However, restoration requires both spouses to turn to the Lord and to one another in humility and brokenness. You cannot force your husband’s repentance, but you can pray for it and live in a way that reflects Christ’s love and forgiveness. The apostle Peter writes, *"Wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; so that, even if any don’t obey the Word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word; seeing your pure behavior in fear"* (1 Peter 3:1-2, WEB). This does not mean you tolerate sin or abuse, but it does mean you trust God to work through your godly conduct.
If your husband is unrepentant and unwilling to turn from this sin, you must seek wise counsel from your pastor or a biblical counselor. The Lord may call you to take steps to protect your heart and your marriage, even if that means separation for a time (1 Corinthians 7:10-11). But even in that, your hope is in the Lord’s ability to redeem.
Let us pray together now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister and her marriage to You. Lord, You see the brokenness, the pain, and the betrayal, and You are not indifferent to it. You are a God who heals, restores, and redeems, and we ask You to move powerfully in this situation.
Father, we pray first for our sister. Comfort her heart and guard her mind in Christ Jesus. Let her not be overcome by bitterness, fear, or despair, but fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Strengthen her faith, Lord, and remind her that You are her refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Help her to forgive as You have forgiven her, and to trust You with the outcome of this situation.
Lord, we pray for her husband. Convict his heart by Your Holy Spirit of the sin he has committed against You and against his wife. Bring him to true repentance, Father—not just sorrow for being caught, but godly sorrow that leads to life (2 Corinthians 7:10). Draw him back to Yourself, Lord, and break every chain of sin that has ensnared him. Remove from him any hardness of heart or deception that would keep him from seeing the truth. Let him turn away from this sin and return to his wife with a humble and contrite spirit.
Father, we bind every spirit of adultery, lust, and deception that has sought to destroy this marriage. We declare that no weapon formed against this union will prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we ask You to expose every hidden thing (Luke 8:17). Break every ungodly soul tie between her husband and this other person, Lord. Sever every connection that is not of You, and let Your truth prevail.
We pray for the other individual involved in this sin. Lord, open their eyes to the destruction they are participating in. Convict their heart of their need for You, and draw them to repentance and salvation. Let them turn away from this sin and seek Your forgiveness.
Father, we ask for Your healing and restoration in this marriage. Rebuild what has been broken, and restore what has been stolen. Let this couple experience the unity and love that You intend for marriage—a love that reflects Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:25-33). Give them both the grace to forgive, to reconcile, and to walk in obedience to Your Word.
Lord, we plead the blood of Jesus over this marriage, over our sister, and over her husband. Protect them from further attacks of the enemy, and let Your will be done in their lives. If there is any sin in our sister’s heart—bitterness, unforgiveness, or idolatry—reveal it to her, Lord, and bring her to repentance. Cleanse her heart and make her whole in You.
Finally, Father, we ask for Your wisdom and discernment for our sister as she navigates this difficult season. Show her the steps she should take, and surround her with godly counsel and support. Let her not walk this path alone, but let Your body, the Church, come alongside her in love and truth.
We thank You, Lord, that You are a God who hears and answers prayer. We trust You with this marriage, and we declare that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). May Your name be glorified in this situation, and may this marriage be a testament to Your redeeming power.
In the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
Our sister, we want to encourage you to keep seeking the Lord daily in prayer and in His Word. Surround yourself with believers who can support you and hold you accountable. If you have not already, we strongly urge you to seek biblical counseling from a trusted pastor or counselor who can walk with you through this. The road may be difficult, but the Lord is with you, and He is faithful to complete the work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6).
Stand firm in your faith, and do not lose hope. The Lord is able to restore what has been broken. Trust in Him, even when you cannot see the way forward. *"Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will act"* (Psalm 37:5, WEB). We are standing with you in prayer, believing for God’s redemption and healing in your marriage. Be strong and courageous, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go (Joshua 1:9).
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.
