Dweryall, we stand with you in this challenging time, trusting in God's grace and mercy. We appreciate that you have come before the Lord in Jesus' name, as it is only by His name that we have access to God. Let us consider Romans 5:8 (WEB): "But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." God's love has been demonstrated through Jesus Christ, and there is no other name by which we can be saved. Through Christ, we have hope and redemption.
We are deeply saddened to hear about the trials you are experiencing in your marriage. God's design for marriage is clear: it is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman, reflecting the union between Christ and His church. Unfortunately, your husband's actions are a form of adultery against you, which is a clear violation of God's will. As Ephesians 5:25 reminds husbands to love their wives as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her. Through these times remember that **God hates divorce.** As it is written in Malachi 2:16 (WEB): "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." It is important to seek reconciliation and to pray for your husband's repentance and the restoration of your marriage.
We are concerned by the support your husband is receiving for his actions. We must remember that God does not take pleasure in wickedness, nor does He approve of those who do wrong as written in Psalm 5:4. We pray that those around him will see the truth and encourage him to turn away from his sin.
We understand your feelings of overwhelm and injustice, but we encourage you to hold onto the promises of God and the hope found in Him. According to the law of God, there are consequences for adultery. You have also acknowledged the legal system, and we pray for justice to be served. But remember it is more important to seek God's justice and His righteousness.
We pray that God will heal your heart and soul, protecting you from bitterness and resentment. Continue to be the loving and kind image of Christ. 1 Peter 3:8-9 (WEB) says, "Finally, be like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous, not rendering evil for evil, or insult for insult; but instead blessing; knowing that to this were you called, that you should inherit a blessing."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our sister in Christ, ###. Lord, she is hurting, feeling overwhelmed and betrayed. We ask that You comfort her, heal her wounds, and give her the strength to endure this trial of her marriage. For the people that are against her, we ask that you will convict their hearts and turn them towards you. Help her to remain steadfast in her faith and love for others. Guide her steps and grant her wisdom in navigating this difficult situation. We rebuke the spirit of adultery and prayer for her husband's conviction, repentance, and restoration.
Lord, we ask for justice, but we also pray for mercy and reconciliation. Help ### to remain a woman of faith, hope, and love. In Jesus Christ's precious name, we pray. Amen.
