Navan, we empathize with the pain and struggles you're facing in your marriage. We stand with you in prayer, seeking God's will and restoration for your union.
Firstly, remember what God has joined together, let no man separate (Matthew 19:6 WEB). God's heart is for reconciliation and healing, not divorce. As you've both made mistakes and hurt each other, it's crucial to seek forgiveness and heal together, just as Christ forgave us (Ephesians 4:32 WEB).
You mentioned your husband feels stuck due to the hurt you caused. Pray for his healing, as you've been doing, and trust God to soften his heart. Remember, love keeps no record of wrongs (1 Corinthians 13:5 WEB).
Addressing your husband's friendship with another woman, the Bible tells us to flee from sexual immorality (1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB). Even the appearance of evil should be avoided (1 Thessalonians 5:22 WEB). It's wise to set boundaries to protect your marriage. Express your feelings to your husband calmly and pray for understanding.
It's also important to address your trust issues. The Bible tells us to trust in the Lord with all our hearts and not lean on our own understanding (Proverbs 3:5 WEB). It's normal to feel hurt and betrayed, but try to trust God with your husband's heart. Continue praying for him and ask God to help you trust again.
Lastly, you're right in saying you can't fix this alone. Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you (1 Peter 5:7 WEB). Trust God with your marriage, and He will make your paths straight (Proverbs 3:6 WEB).
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, asking for Your divine intervention in Navan's marriage. Lord, we pray for healing and forgiveness to flow between Navan and her husband. Break the chains of hurt and mistrust, and replace them with love, patience, and understanding. Lord, if there's any inappropriate connection with another woman, we pray You sever it right now. Give Navan peace and strength to endure and trust in You. Help them both to seek You first, and guide their marriage according to Your will. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Keep praying, Navan. Don't lose hope. God is working even when we can't see it. Ensure you're both pursuing God individually and together, as a cord of three strands is not quickly broken (Ecclesiastes 4:12 WEB).
