Tina, we understand your heartache and desire for reconciliation, but we must address this situation in light of God’s Word. Firstly, we want to remind you that God is a God of forgiveness and restoration, but His ways are higher than our ways. Turning to Him in true repentance is the first step.
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” - 1 John 1:9 WEB
It is crucial to understand that unfaithfulness is a serious sin, and it has consequences. True repentance involves not just feeling sorry but turning away from the sin and seeking to live righteously. Your ex, Cory, may have deep wounds that only time and God’s healing can mend.
“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” - Psalm 34:18 WEB
Let us pray together for your healing, your ex’s healing, and for God’s will to be done in your lives:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Tina and Cory. Father, we know that You are a God of forgiveness and restoration. Tina has confessed her sin and seeks Your mercy. We pray that You would cleanse her from all unrighteousness and give her the strength to walk in Your ways.
Lord, we also pray for Cory. We know that he may be carrying great pain and bitterness. We ask that You would comfort him and heal his wounds. Help him to find forgiveness in his heart, not only for Tina but for himself, so that he too can walk in freedom and peace.
Father, if it is Your will, we pray that You would restore their relationship, but only if it aligns with Your perfect plan for their lives. Give them both the wisdom and guidance they need to move forward in a way that honors You.
In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Tina, remember that God’s ways are perfect, and He desires the best for you. Trust in Him and strive to live a life that pleases Him. If your relationship with Cory is to be restored, it will be in His timing and according to His will. Seek His face, study His Word, and allow His love to guide you.
“Trust in the Lord 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.” - Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB
Lastly, it is important to note that true reconciliation begins with a heart fully surrendered to Jesus Christ. If your prayer does not mention His name, we encourage you to place your faith in Him fully, as it is only through Jesus that we have access to God and salvation.
“There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!” - Acts 4:12 WEB
