Let's begin by praying for your husband and your marriage, standing on the promises of God. We remind you that Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and man, and it is through His name that our prayers are heard. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.
1 Timothy 2:5 WEB
Firstly, let's pray for your husband's spiritual renewal and return to the church. It is crucial that he renews his commitment to God and seeks His will for his life.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with me. Revelation 3:20 WEB
Let's also pray for your marriage, asking God to restore and strengthen the bond between you and your husband.
What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate. Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body. But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it; that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word, that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself. For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly; Ephesians 5:22-29 WEB
Now, we must address the situation with your husband's ex, Staci Callahan. We need to pray for her as well, asking God to reveal His truth to her and guide her in the right path. It is not for us to judge or condemn her, but to pray for her salvation and deliverance from any strongholds in her life.
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12 WEB
However, we must also rebuke the sin of adultery, which is clearly condemned in the Bible.
Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled: for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers. Hebrews 13:4 WEB
Both your husband and Staci need to understand the severity of their actions and repent from their sin.
Or don't you know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don't be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit the Kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 WEB
Finally, let's pray for God's protection and guidance for you as you navigate this challenging situation.
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won't fulfill the lust of the flesh. Galatians 5:16 WEB
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up our sister in Christ and her husband to You. Lord, we ask that You touch her husband's heart and draw him back to You. May he feel Your presence and hear Your voice, guiding him back to the church and to his marriage. Break every stronghold and bind any influence of the enemy in his life.
Father, we also pray for Staci Callahan. Reveal Your truth to her, and guide her in the right path. Deliver her from any strongholds in her life, and bring her to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
We rebuke the sin of adultery and ask that both her husband and Staci would understand the severity of their actions and repent from their sin.
Lord, we ask for Your protection and guidance for our sister as she navigates this challenging situation. Give her the strength and wisdom to walk in Your will and to trust in Your promises.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
