We understand the deep pain and urgency in your heart, and we join you in lifting this matter before the Lord with both fervency and wisdom. Your desire for your husband’s faithfulness and devotion is right and good, as marriage is a sacred covenant before God, meant to reflect Christ’s love for His Church. However, we must address this with biblical truth and prayer that aligns with God’s will, not merely our own declarations.
First, let us remind you that while it is right to pray for your husband’s purity and faithfulness, we cannot "decree and declare" as though we have authority over another person’s free will. Only God can change hearts, and our prayers must submit to His sovereignty. The Bible warns us against trying to control others through our words or demands, for only the Holy Spirit can convict and transform. As Proverbs 19:21 says, *"Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails."* Similarly, James 4:13-15 reminds us that we do not know what tomorrow will bring—our lives are in God’s hands, and we must submit our desires to Him.
Your pain is valid, and we grieve with you over any betrayal or emotional distance in your marriage. Infidelity—whether physical or emotional—is a grievous sin against God and the marriage covenant. Jesus Himself said in Matthew 5:28, *"But I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart."* If your husband has been unfaithful in thought, word, or deed, this is a serious matter that requires repentance, restoration, and godly sorrow. However, we must also examine our own hearts, for the Bible calls us to love, pray, and act in ways that honor God, not out of bitterness or a desire for control.
Let us also address the repetitive, almost incantation-like nature of your request. As believers, we are not called to repeat phrases as if they hold magical power. Jesus warned against vain repetitions in prayer in Matthew 6:7: *"In praying, don’t use vain repetitions as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking."* Our prayers should be heartfelt, submitted to God’s will, and rooted in faith—not in our own demands or formulas.
Now, let us pray together for your marriage, your husband’s heart, and your own walk with the Lord.

**Heavenly Father, we come before You with a heavy heart, lifting up this sister and her marriage to You. Lord, You see the pain, the betrayal, and the longing for restoration. We ask that You would work mightily in her husband’s heart, convicting him of any sin, any unfaithfulness, any idolatry that has taken root. Father, if he has entertained lust, emotional affairs, or any form of adultery, bring him to true repentance. Let him turn away from every distraction and fix his eyes solely on You and the covenant he made before You.
Lord, we pray that You would expose any hidden sin, not to shame him, but to bring him to brokenness and healing. As 1 John 1:9 says, *"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* May he confess, repent, and walk in purity. Guard his mind, his eyes, and his heart from temptation. Let him desire only his wife, cherishing her as Christ loves the Church (Ephesians 5:25).
At the same time, Father, we lift up this wife. Heal her heart from the wounds of betrayal and insecurity. Fill her with Your peace and remind her that her worth is found in You alone, not in her husband’s affection. Help her to trust You fully, even in this storm. Give her wisdom in how to respond to her husband—whether with confrontation, forgiveness, or boundaries—all guided by Your Spirit.
We rebuked any spirit of infidelity, lust, or deception that may be at work in this marriage. We declare that no weapon formed against this union shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), but we also submit to Your will, Lord. If there is hope for restoration, bring it. If there is hardness of heart, soften it. If there is unrepentance, reveal it clearly so that Your child may walk in truth and not deception.
Finally, Lord, we pray that both husband and wife would draw nearer to You individually. May their relationship with You be their first priority, for only when they are right with You can they be right with each other. Let this trial drive them to their knees, not to bitterness or manipulation, but to surrender.
We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer and Restorer. Amen.

Sister, we urge you to seek godly counsel—whether from a pastor, a biblical counselor, or a trusted believer who can walk with you through this. If your husband is unwilling to repent or change, you may need to consider biblical steps for restoration or, in extreme cases, the difficult path outlined in Matthew 18:15-17. But do not walk this road alone.
We also encourage you to examine your own heart. Are there areas where you have tried to control your husband rather than trust God? Have you allowed bitterness or fear to take root? Ask the Lord to search your heart (Psalm 139:23-24) and lead you in His truth.
Lastly, if you have not already, we strongly encourage you to study what the Bible says about marriage, submission (Ephesians 5:22-33), love (1 Corinthians 13), and forgiveness (Colossians 3:13). A marriage built on biblical principles is one that can withstand the storms of life.
We are praying for you and stand with you in this battle. May the Lord bring healing, repentance, and restoration according to His perfect will.
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.
