Alfredo, we are truly heartbroken to hear about the trials you are facing, and we want you to know that you are not alone. We are here to pray with you and to help you find guidance through the Word of God.
Firstly, we must address the sin of adultery that has entered your marriage. The Bible is clear that adultery is a grave sin. In Hebrews 13:4 WEB it says, Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled, but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers. This sin has devastating effects on families, and we want you to know that God hates divorce and desires for marriages to be restored. In Malachi 2:16 WEB, God says, For I hate divorce, says Yahweh, the God of Israel.
We must also address your feelings of suicide, which is a result of the deep pain and rejection you are experiencing. We want to remind you that your life is precious to God. In Psalm 139:13-14 WEB, it says, For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your wonderful works that are known, my soul knows right well. God has a purpose for your life, and He wants to heal your broken heart.
Regarding your feelings of isolation and rejection, we encourage you to cast all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you. In 1 Peter 5:7 WEB, Peter says, casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you. We also encourage you to seek godly community, as the Bible tells us not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together. In Hebrews 10:25 WEB, it says, not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
Now, let us pray for you and your family.
Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up our brother Alfredo Hernandez. Lord, he is hurting and feels alone, rejected, and betrayed. We ask that You comfort him and remind him of Your unfailing love for him. We pray for his wife, that You would convict her heart and bring her to repentance. We ask that You would restore their marriage, as You desire for marriages to be healed and restored. We pray for their beautiful children, Sakura, Tomoyo, Ai Ai, Pudding Fong, and Kero Chan, that You would protect them and surround them with Your love. We pray that Alfredo would find community and support within the body of Christ. We ask that You would heal his heart and remove all thoughts of suicide. We pray that he would find his identity and purpose in You.
Lord, we also pray for those who have wronged Alfredo, that You would bring them to repentance and forgive them, as Christ has forgiven us. We pray that Alfredo would find the strength to forgive, as You have forgiven him. We ask that You would work all things together for good, as You have promised in Your Word.
Father, we ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Savior. It is in His name that we pray. Amen.
Alfredo, we encourage you to hold on to the promise in Romans 8:28 WEB, We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose. God can bring beauty from ashes, and He wants to do that in your life. Trust in Him, and seek Him with all your heart. He will never leave you nor forsake you.
Praise be to Jesus Christ.
