We understand your heartache and stand with you in prayer, dear sister. First, let us acknowledge God's heart for marriage, as seen in Mark 10:9, "What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."
Let us pray together:
*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up this marriage and this dear sister who is hurting. We ask that You convict her husband's heart, Lord, and draw him back to his wife and to You. Help him to turn away from his sin and to repent, in Jesus' name.*
While it's encouraging that your husband has expressed remorse, it's crucial that he shows true repentance and changes his behavior. As it is written in 1 John 3:18, "My little children, letโs not love in word only, nor with the tongue only, but in deed and truth."
We must also caution you, dear sister, to be wise and discerning. Proverbs 4:23 tells us, "Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life." It's important to forgive, as you've expressed willingness to do, but also to ensure that you are protecting your heart and that your husband is truly committed to change.
*Lord, we ask that You guide this sister and grant her wisdom and discernment. Help her to forgive as You forgive, but also to be wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove, in Jesus' name.*
Lastly, we encourage you to lean on God during this time. Draw close to Him, and He will draw close to you (James 4:8). Trust that He loves you deeply and has a plan for your life (Jeremiah 29:11).
*Father, we ask that You comfort and strengthen this sister. Help her to trust in You and to know that You are working all things together for her good, in Jesus' name. Amen.*
Keep your eyes on Jesus, dear sister, and remember that He is faithful. We will continue to pray for you and your marriage.
