We hear the deep anguish and urgency in your cry, and we join you in lifting this heavy burden before the Lord, for He alone is the restorer of marriages and the breaker of ungodly bonds. Your heart is broken, and we understand the pain of betrayal, but we must first address something critical in your plea: while your passion is clear, we do not "decree and declare" as if our words hold power—only God’s Word and His will prevail. Our authority comes from humbly submitting to Him in prayer, not from demanding outcomes in our own strength. The Lord tells us in **1 John 5:14-15 (WEB)**, *"This is the confidence that we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him."* So let us come before Him with reverence, trusting in His sovereignty and timing, not our own frantic declarations.
We also notice you have not once invoked the name of Jesus Christ in your request except as a tagline—yet it is *only* through His name that we have access to the Father. **John 14:6 (WEB)** leaves no room for ambiguity: *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"*) Without faith in Christ as your Savior, there is no foundation for prayer. If you have not surrendered your life to Him, we urge you to do so now, for He alone can heal your marriage and your heart. Repent of any sin, turn to Him in faith, and ask Him to be Lord over every area of your life—including this struggle.
Now, let us address the grave sin at hand: your husband’s adultery. Scripture is unmistakably clear that this is an abomination before God. **Hebrews 13:4 (WEB)** warns, *"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 not merely a betrayal of you—it is rebellion against God Himself. Yet even in this, there is hope, for the Lord specializes in redemption. **1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (WEB)** reminds us, *"Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? ... Neither adulterers ... will inherit God’s Kingdom. Such were some of you, but you were washed. But you were sanctified. But you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God."* If your husband is a believer, he must repent *immediately*—turning from this sin, cutting off all contact with this woman, and seeking accountability. If he is not a believer, your prayers must first be for his salvation, for without Christ, he is enslaved to his flesh.
As for the "soul ties" you mention—while this term is not found in Scripture, we understand you are referring to ungodly emotional and spiritual bonds. The answer is not mystical declarations but *repentance and renewal in Christ*. **2 Corinthians 10:4-5 (WEB)** tells us, *"For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ."* The bondage your husband is in can only be broken by the power of the Holy Spirit through genuine repentance, not by human effort or repetitive decrees.
We also must address your focus on your husband’s phone, social media, and photos. While it is right to pray for his heart to turn fully to you and to God, obsessing over these external things can become idolatry—a misplaced trust in *removing evidence* rather than trusting God to transform his heart. **Proverbs 3:5-6 (WEB)** commands, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* Your peace must come from the Lord, not from controlling circumstances.
Lastly, we see your desperate plea for your husband to have "eyes only for you." Sister, this is a godly desire, but it must be rooted in *God’s design for marriage*, not in selfish demand. **Ephesians 5:22-33 (WEB)** outlines the sacred covenant of marriage—husbands are to love their wives as Christ loved the church, and wives are to respect their husbands. If your husband is in unrepentant sin, however, you are not called to enable it. **1 Corinthians 7:10-11 (WEB)** instructs, *"But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband (but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife."* If he refuses to repent, you may need to seek godly counsel on boundaries, separation, or further steps—but always with the goal of reconciliation *if* he turns back to God.
Now, let us pray together:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we are saved. Lord, we lift up this sister who is crushed under the weight of betrayal. Comfort her, O God, as only You can. Bind up her broken heart and remind her that her worth is found in You alone, not in her husband’s faithfulness. We pray for her husband, that if he is a believer, You would convict him deeply of his sin. Let him feel the weight of his adultery before You, Lord, and bring him to his knees in repentance. Sever every ungodly tie—emotional, spiritual, or physical—that binds him to this woman. Remove her influence from his life completely, not by our power, but by Your Spirit. If he is not saved, Lord, pursue him relentlessly. Open his eyes to his need for Jesus, for apart from Christ, he is lost.
Father, we ask for restoration—but only if it aligns with Your will. Guard this sister’s heart from bitterness or despair. Give her wisdom to know how to respond, whether that means fighting for her marriage through prayer and counseling or, if necessary, setting godly boundaries. Surround her with Your people who will support and pray for her. Let her husband’s eyes be turned wholly to You first, and then to her, as You restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25). Break the power of lust, deception, and hardness of heart in his life. Fill their home with Your peace, Your truth, and Your love.
And Lord, if there is any sin in this sister’s life—resentment, idolatry of her marriage, or lack of trust in You—convict her and cleanse her. May she find her security in You alone. We rebuke the enemy’s lies that she is unlovable or that this situation is hopeless. You, O God, are the God of impossible restoration. We ask all this in the powerful, saving name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen."*
Sister, we urge you to seek a biblical counselor or pastor who can walk with you through this. You do not have to carry this alone. Cling to **Psalm 34:18 (WEB)**: *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* Also, immerse yourself in Scripture—**Lamentations 3:22-23 (WEB)** reminds us, *"It is because of Yahweh’s loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his compassion doesn’t fail. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness."* His mercy is fresh for you *today*.
Stand firm, but stand in faith—not in frantic declarations, but in the quiet confidence that God hears you, sees you, and will act. **Isaiah 41:10 (WEB)** says, *"Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness."* Trust Him. Wait on Him. And if your husband does not repent, know that God is still good, and He will never leave you.
