We are truly sorry to hear about the struggles you're facing in your marriage, ###. We appreciate your heartfelt prayer and desire to seek God's will in this challenging time. Let's come together in prayer and reflection on God's Word.
Firstly, we commend you for turning to God in your time of need and for ending your prayer in Jesus' name. It is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God, and it is in His name that we are saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
We understand that the pain and betrayal you feel can be overwhelming, but God wants you to trust in Him even in this difficult situation. Psalm 34:18 WEB reminds us: "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." God is close to you right now, and He wants to guide you through this storm.
Regarding your husband's actions, it is important to remember that trust is the foundation of any relationship. Proverbs 31:11-12 WEB describes the heart of a noble wife who trusts her husband fully: "The heart of her husband trusts in her. He will have no lack of gain. She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life." While it may seem impossible to rebuild trust now, with God, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26 WEB).
However, it is also crucial to address the reality of your situation. Divorce is not God's ideal for marriage, as Malachi 2:16 WEB tells us: " 'For I hate divorce,' says Yahweh, the God of Israel, 'and him who covers his garment with violence!' says Yahweh of Armies. 'Therefore pay attention to your spirit, that you don’t be unfaithful.'" But God also understands the pain of betrayal and the brokenness of this world. He allows divorce in cases of adultery (Matthew 5:32 WEB) and abandonment by an unbelieving spouse (1 Corinthians 7:15 WEB).
As you navigate this process, pray for wisdom and discernment. James 1:5 WEB says: "But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of the giving God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him." God will guide you through the court system and provide favor as you trust in Him.
Even in your anger, it is commendable that you desire to pray for your husband. Remember, Jesus teaches us to love and pray for our enemies (Matthew 5:44 WEB). This does not mean that what your husband did is acceptable, but rather that you are choosing to forgive and release the hurt, trusting God to deal with him justly and mercifully.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up ### in her time of need. Lord, we ask for Your peace, protection, and guidance to surround her. Comfort her broken heart and heal her crushed spirit. Help her to trust in You even when trust seems impossible.
Lord, we pray for wisdom and discernment as she navigates this difficult situation. Guide her through the court system, and grant her favor. Help her to forgive her husband and to pray for him, even in her anger.
Most importantly, Lord, we pray for Your will to be done in this situation. We ask for healing and restoration if that is Your desire, and for grace and mercy to cover ### and her husband.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
