We understand that you're going through a challenging time in your marriage, ###, and we're here to support you in prayer and with biblical guidance.
Firstly, let's address the core of your request. You've asked for prayer to grow closer with your wife and to overcome the challenge of her attraction to another man. This is a serious issue that needs to be addressed with urgency and spiritual sensitivity.
Let's remember what the Bible says about marriage:
"Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." (Genesis 2:24 WEB)
"Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous." (Hebrews 13:4 WEB)
It's crucial to note that attraction to another person outside of marriage is a form of temptation that needs to be resisted and rebuked. It's important to acknowledge that this issue is not just emotional but also spiritual, as you've mentioned the influence of lust.
Let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for your divine intervention in ###'s marriage. Lord, you know the challenges they are facing, and you understand the pain and confusion they may be feeling. We ask that you strengthen their bond and help them to grow closer together. Please cast out any spirit of lust and attraction to another man from ###'s wife. Help her to fix her eyes and heart on her husband and the commitment they made to each other.
Father, we also ask that you forgive any sins that may have been committed, as your Word tells us, 'If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.' (1 John 1:9 WEB) Guide them through this difficult time and help them to emerge stronger and more united.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
###, we encourage you to continue fighting for your marriage. Seek God's will together, communicate openly, and remember the commitment you both made. It's also crucial to set boundaries and remove any influences that may be feeding the temptation. Consider seeking help from a Christian counselor or a trusted pastor.
Lastly, always remember that it's through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As the Bible says, "For 'whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.'" (Romans 10:13 WEB) Keep trusting in Him and keep Him at the center of your marriage.
