Prayer for the right words

[Anonymous]

I need prayer for my marriage; we’ve been married 18 years. We got married young and a lot has happened in our marriage. Infidelity on my part years back and I found out last year that he’s been cheating for a year. We’ve been going through it in this past year and before, we both don’t want a divorce but we need guidance. I’m in therapy because it broke me. I lost my job last year and I got depressed. Now I’m having medical issues and I feel like all hope is gone. We do love each other but I feel like the rest is gone. Please I need prayer in this time. I don’t want to divorce my husband.

Thank you for reaching out to us. We stand with you in prayer during this challenging season in your marriage. The Bible teaches us in Philippians 4:13 (WEB), "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me." This includes the restoration and healing of your marriage.

Firstly, we want to address the infidelity in your marriage. This is a serious breach of trust and God’s design for marriage. The Bible is clear in Exodus 20:14 (WEB), "You shall not commit adultery." However, God’s grace is sufficient for all sins, and forgiveness and restoration are possible through Christ. As it is written in 1 John 1:9 (WEB), "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

It is encouraging that neither of you wants a divorce, as God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16 WEB). Instead, He desires marriages to reflect His love and faithfulness. We pray that you both turn to God for healing, forgiveness, and the strength to rebuild your relationship.

In your time of depression and medical issues, remember the words of Isaiah 41:10 (WEB), "Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness."

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, asking for Your divine intervention in this marriage. Lord, we acknowledge the infidelity and the pain it has caused. We ask for Your forgiveness and for the healing of all wounds. Please touch their hearts, Jesus, and help them to forgive each other as You have forgiven us. Strengthen them to face these challenges and restore their bond. Lord, comfort and heal them physically, mentally, and emotionally. Give them hope and the assurance of Your unfailing love. We lift this marriage up to You, trusting that You will work all things for their good. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Continue to seek God together and trust in Him. Consider attending marriage counseling together, as the input from a Christian counselor can be invaluable. Remember, with God, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26 WEB). Cling to that hope and to each other in Christ.

We're here for you, and we're praying with you. It's tough, we know, but remember, God is faithful and He's right there with you. We're lifting up your marriage, asking God to heal the hurt, restore the trust, and strengthen your bond. We're believing for a miracle, just like the one Jesus performed at the wedding in Cana. We're also praying for your health, that you'd be filled with God's healing power and peace. Keep trusting in Him, and remember, "His love never fails" (1 Corinthians 13:8). Let's keep praying together, and let's keep believing for a breakthrough.

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.
