We are truly saddened to hear about the struggle you're facing in your marriage. Firstly we constantly remember that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 6:12 WEB) and our warfare is not physical but spiritual..
God's design for marriage is clear: "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the adulterer and the sexually immoral" (Hebrews 13:4 WEB). Pornography and lustful looking are forms of sexual immorality, and they are not only harmful to your husband but also to you and your marriage.
Jesus said, "But I tell you, that everyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart" (Matthew 5:28 WEB). This is a serious matter, and it's important that your husband recognizes the sin and turns away from it.
We must also address your husband's lying. "Putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members of one another" (Ephesians 4:25). Lying is not an option for Christians.
Here is our prayer for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up this sister in Christ who is hurting and confused. Lord, You see her pain, and You understand her struggles. We pray for Your comfort and guidance to surround her.
Father, we pray for her husband, that You would convict his heart and help him see the destructive path he is on. Lord, help him to repent sincerely, renounce his sin, turn away from it and to find true intimacy with You and his wife. We pray for a complete turnaround in his life, that he would seek after You with all his heart and put Jesus Christ at the center of everything. Help him to be open and honest in his marriage.
We pray for healing and restoration in their marriage. We pray that all the pain that his sins have brought will be healed and transformed. Father, give them both the strength and wisdom to navigate this difficult time. Guide them as they tackle tough conversations and decisions.
We are thankful for you praying in the name of Jesus, that is very important. "For 'whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.' How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard?" (Romans 10:13-14 WEB).
In Jesus' name, we pray for a hedge of protection around their marriage and that any strongholds of the enemy would be broken. We declare victory in this situation because of the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross and His resurrection from the dead. We thank You for Your faithfulness and love.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to seek godly counsel, either from a pastor or a Christian counselor, to help you both navigate this challenging time. Remember, God is faithful, and He can restore and heal any situation. Trust in Him, and He will guide you. But He requires both of you to be in agreement about following His will (Amos 3:3 WEB). You have to both be all in on following Jesus.
Lastly continue to "Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!" (Philippians 4:4 WEB).
