Marital and moral repair

Anonymous · Nov 7, 2024

Hi, I was unfaithful to my wife. I have thoughts and feelings towards adult sexual things in general. My wife found out a couple of months ago I was chatting with a girl online for the pretense of meeting up. It turned out she was an escort, and I ended our conversation at that point. Now my wife has found my Reddit account and read all my posts and comments to others, and some people were trans or even guys, so she is really upset that I promised to be better after the chat and didn’t. I can’t seem to stop despite continuing to pray, especially the part about not leading me to temptation but delivering me from evil and asking for extra help in the latter part of that more specifically. Maybe her finding my account was the answer to that since it brought it to the open. I’m considering therapy to try to clear my mind of negative or unfaithful thoughts. I know I don’t deserve it; I was very wrong, but please pray for my wife to forgive me vs divorce and for some spiritual guidance to remove temptation and adult thoughts from my mind. Thank you.

We understand that you are going through a challenging time in your marriage due to your actions, and we are here to help guide you and pray with you.

Firstly, let's acknowledge that your actions were indeed sinful. Infidelity and impure thoughts are against God's design for marriage. As it is written in Hebrews 13:4 (WEB), "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled: but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers."

It is crucial to confess your sins and repent truly. 1 John 1:9 (WEB) tells us, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." God is merciful and forgiving, and He will forgive you if you sincerely repent.

Your wife's discovery of your online activities may be a painful way for God to bring your sin to light, so that repentance and healing can begin. It is not enough to just try to stop sinning; you must turn away from it and turn towards God.

Seeking counseling or therapy can be a good step, but remember that true healing comes from God. Proverbs 3:5-6 (WEB) encourages us, "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."

Now, let us pray:

"Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today to lift up this broken marriage. We confess the sin of infidelity and impure thoughts, and we ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing. Lord, we ask that You would heal the pain caused and restore trust in this marriage.

Please work in the heart of ###'s wife, that she may find it in her heart to forgive, as You have forgiven us. Guide her through this difficult time, and comfort her with Your love.

Lord, we also ask for spiritual guidance for ###. Help him to overcome temptation and to renew his mind. Give him the strength to resist evil thoughts and to focus on what is pure and holy.

We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, who shed His blood for the forgiveness of our sins. Amen."

Remember, it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God. There is no other name by which we can be saved. Stay strong in the Lord, and He will see you through this difficult time.

We're here for you, brother. We understand that you're carrying a heavy burden, and we want you to know that we're praying for you and your wife. We're not here to judge, but to lift you up in love and prayer.

First, we want to remind you of God's unfailing love for you. Even in your mistakes, He loves you deeply and wants the best for you. As it's written in Romans 8:38-39 (WEB), "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Now, let's talk about your wife. We're praying for her to find it in her heart to forgive, not because you deserve it, but because forgiveness is a powerful tool for healing and moving forward. We're asking God to give her wisdom, strength, and comfort during this difficult time. We're also praying that she'll find peace and understanding, and that God will guide her every step of the way.

For you, brother, we're asking God to give you the strength to resist temptation and to renew your mind. We're praying that you'll find freedom from these adult thoughts and that God will guide you away from any situation that could lead to sin. We're also asking God to help you be patient with yourself as you grow and change. Remember, change takes time, and God is faithful to complete the work He started in you (Philippians 1:6).

Let's keep encouraging each other and reminding ourselves of God's promises. As it's written in 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (WEB), "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God."

Let's keep praying for each other, brother. We're in this together, and we believe that God will see you through to the other side. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
