Prayer For God (And My Wife) To Forgive Me And To Restore Our Marriage

[shadowofleaves]

Heavenly Father,

I come to you today with sorrow in my heart because I have offended you through my own fault and sin. I have broken the trust of my wife, Dee. My wife has left me and says that she does not know if our marriage is worth saving and doesn't know if she even wants to try to save it.

I am a sinner, an imperfect being. I have been praying for forgiveness ever since she left and I have asked Jesus Christ to come into my life as my personal Lord and Savior. I have asked Jesus to come into my heart and help me change my ways to become the man and the husband that He wants me to be, and the man and husband that my wife deserves.

I confess to You, Almighty Father, through this humble prayer, that I have committed sins of the heart by going to internet chat rooms in search of wanting to feel wanted. Although I did not look for conversations of a sexual nature in those rooms or engage in any sexual activity with anyone either inside or outside of those chat rooms, my wife says that it is the same thing as if I had committed adultery. I have hurt her deeply and have destroyed her faith, trust, and confidence in me. I know she is right and I have no excuse for what I have done.

My wife and I had been emotionally distant for some time and I longed for being wanted by someone. She stopped sleeping with me six months ago after she found evidence of my sins on our computer. I made a promise to her to stop my activities, but didn't. I still had the desire to be wanted. If not by her, then by someone. I turned to online pornography, masturbation, and finally to chat rooms to find what was missing in my marriage. I asked her to go to counselling with me. She went to one session, got on medication for depression, and stopped taking her pills after the medication ran out. She did not keep follow-up appointments and then stopped trying altogether.

Six weeks ago, my wife left and moved into an apartment. We have been separated ever since. We have had very little contact. I am so sorry for what I have done. I am so sorry for violating Your commandments and for violating her trust. Two weeks after she left, I deleted my chat room account and I have been praying to You ever since for the restoration of my marriage. I have asked for Your forgiveness, and I believe that You have forgiven me for my sins. She asked why I did not delete my account when she confronted me about this. Again, I have no excuse.

All I can do now is admit my mistakes, Pray for Your forgiveness, be honest with her, and ask for her forgiveness. She is not sure if she can forgive me.

Father, I am in torment over what I have done. Although I feel that I have been forgiven by You, I long for her forgiveness too. I am deeply ashamed of what I have done to her, to our marriage, and to our family. I am having a difficult time forgiving myself as well.

I ask for your continued forgiveness and guidance as I struggle with this, God. I am in counselling now and I have asked my wife to join in my sessions. She is reluctant to give me any answers and has not come to counselling yet. I have prayed about this to you so that You will continue to guide me through this and give me peace so that I can function day to day at work. I ask that You watch over my wife and family and keep them safe. I ask that You lead her to prayer and that , in Your time, her heart softens towards me. I Love my wife and family with all of my heart and I am so sorry for hurting them. She deserved better from me and I am praying for a second chance to win back her trust, love, and respect.

I am resolved to turn from my sinful past and, with Your help, I vow never to return to that way of living. I attend church weekly now, and I pray to You daily and ask your forgiveness and guidance many times a day.

Please, Almighty God, hear my prayer and restore our marriage if it is Your will. Heal my wife's heart and the hurt that I have caused her. Help me to live as You would have me live, and help me to forgive myself. I offer up my marriage and all other hurting marriages so that You wil heal the wounds and divisions between hurting spouses and bring them back together as man and wife for your Glory. I humbly ask for the prayers of my brothers and sister in Christ so that I may be forgiven and for my marriage to be restored.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

Heavenly Father,

Through the powerful intercession of these prayer warriors, grant to this online church the many graces we need to foster, strengthen, and support faith-filled, holy marriages and holy families.

May the vocation of married life, a true calling to share in your own divine and creative life, be recognized by all believers as a source of blessing and joy, and a revelation of your own divine goodness.

Grant to us all the gift of courage to proclaim and defend your plan for marriage, which is the union of one man and one woman in a lifelong, exclusive relationship of loving trust, compassion, and generosity, open to the conception of children.

We make our prayer through Jesus Christ, who is Lord forever and ever. Amen.

 

[Dotty]

Thank you for your prayers for us. Sometimes, I think the hardest person to forgive is yourself. Be patient and strong. The Lord has His hand on you. In Jesus name I pray. Amen

 

[shadowofleaves]

Thank you all for for your prayers and support. I prayed about this again before and after my counselling session today. I went to church on my way home and sought God's forgiveness through the confession of all my sins. I feel that the process of forgiving myself can truly begin now. Please continue to pray for all broken marriages so that our Heavenly Father may heal our hearts and the hearts of our spouses and that he may restore our marriages to the loving unions that they were intended to be.

Heavenly Father,

Many, including myself, come before you today with heavy hearts. Our marriages are in trouble and we need Your help.

Please make changes in our hearts and in the hearts of our spouses so that we may be compatible again and be brought closer together with our spouses according to Your will.

Fill us with Your love and give us the strength to love one another, care for one another, and fulfill Your destiny for us.

We have seen, firsthand, the harm caused by careless words and the pain brought by emotional distance. We humbly ask that our marriages be healed and to be brought together with our spouses again. Please show us how to love one another as You would have us love each other.

Please heal the divisions between us and make us whole again.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.

I pray in agreement with this request. God has called you for this assignment. Marriage is for life UNTIL DEATH PARTS US. God hates divorce. Matthew 18:19-20 19 “Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven.20 For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.â€

May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed. We will shout for joy when you are victorious and will lift up our banners in the name of our God. May the Lord grant all your requests. Psalm 20:4-5

It takes a man to admit his faults and you are that man. You are doing everything you are suppose to do. Keep it up. Remember God wants you to change first before He can change your wife. Thank you for praying for all hurting marriages. We can't be selfish because others want what you and I want our marriages restored. Keep fighting the good fight. God will bring us victory soon.

Heavenly FATHER I pray that you hear our prayers and cries. Lord JESUS we pray that you remove the heart of stone and replace it with a heart of flesh and give our spouses a new spirit within them. I pray a hedge of protection around our spouses, family, marriges and homes. May you give all standers your strength, guidance, wisdom. Father place the full armor of God on our spouses, children and ourselves so that we may be able to resist the evil day. I pray you heal our spouses hearts and bring them home. Jesus I pray that our spouses accept You as their Lord and Savior. I pray for all prodigal spouses and children that they come to their senses. Thank you JESUS for hearing us and showing them the way home. In your glorious mighty name CHRIST JESUS Amen.
