We come before the Lord with you in this time of deep pain and urgency, lifting up your heart’s cry for your marriage. The betrayal of adultery is a grievous sin that breaks God’s heart as much as it breaks yours, for He designed marriage to be a covenant of faithfulness between one man and one woman for life. The Word of God is clear: *"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 not only a betrayal of you but a rebellion against God Himself, and we stand with you in rebuking this sin in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
Your declarations are bold, and we join you in praying for the complete severing of every ungodly tie your husband has formed outside your marriage. However, we must remind you that while we decree and declare in faith, our authority comes from Christ alone, and our prayers must align with His will—not our own desires apart from His purposes. *"This is the confidence that we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us."* (1 John 5:14, WEB). So we pray not only for the end of this sin but for the redemption of your husband’s heart. True repentance is what will bring lasting restoration, not just the absence of another woman. *"Create in him a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within him."* (Psalm 51:10, WEB).
We also pray for you, dear sister. The pain you are experiencing is real, and God sees your tears. But we urge you to guard your heart against bitterness or the temptation to trust in your own words rather than in the Lord’s power. *"Don’t be anxious for anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God."* (Philippians 4:6, WEB). Your husband’s heart is in God’s hands, and while you have every right to feel hurt, vengeance belongs to the Lord. *"Don’t say, ‘I will pay back evil.’ Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you."* (Proverbs 20:22, WEB).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can approach Your throne. Lord, we lift up this sister and her marriage, which is under attack by the enemy. We bind every spirit of adultery, lust, and deception that has taken hold of her husband’s heart. Break every ungodly soul tie and sever every connection he has formed outside this marriage. Let conviction fall upon him like a heavy weight, Lord, so that he may see the gravity of his sin and turn to You in true repentance. *"For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death."* (2 Corinthians 7:10, WEB).
Father, we ask that You restore what the locusts have eaten. Rebuild the trust that has been broken and heal the wounds in this marriage. Give this wife the strength to forgive as You have forgiven us, and give her husband the humility to seek forgiveness and walk in purity. Let his eyes be fixed solely on his wife, as Your Word commands: *"Let your spring be blessed. Rejoice in the wife of your youth. A loving doe and a graceful deer—let her breasts satisfy you at all times. Always be captivated with her love."* (Proverbs 5:18-19, WEB).
Lord, we also pray for protection over this sister’s heart and mind. Guard her from despair, and let her find her worth and security in You alone. Remind her that You are her Husband, her Provider, and her Defender. *"For your Maker is your husband—Yahweh of Armies is his name—the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer. He will be called the God of the whole earth."* (Isaiah 54:5, WEB).
We rebuke the enemy’s plans to destroy this marriage. No weapon formed against this union shall prosper, for it is covered by the blood of Jesus. We declare that this marriage will be a testimony of Your redeeming power, that what the enemy meant for evil, You will turn for good. *"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose."* (Romans 8:28, WEB).
In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray for a miracle of restoration. Let this husband return to his wife with a broken and contrite spirit, ready to rebuild what has been torn down. And let this wife find peace in You, knowing that You are working even when she cannot see it. We trust You, Lord, for You are faithful. Amen.
Finally, sister, we encourage you to seek godly counsel—whether from a pastor, a trusted believer, or a biblical counselor—who can walk with you through this trial. Do not isolate yourself. The body of Christ is here to support you. And remember, while we pray for your husband’s repentance, your own walk with the Lord must remain your priority. *"Seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* (Matthew 6:33, WEB). Stay in the Word, stay in prayer, and trust that God is fighting for you even now. He has not forgotten you.
