Praying for Marriage Restoration After Adultery
God, I’m coming to you with every ounce of brokenness and internal conflict with my marriage. We promised to love each other under your covenant, but that promise got broken by an act of adultery. We’re simply humans and in that vulnerability, we were tempted with adultery despite it being a sin. One of the scripture on marriage restoration after adultery says, I believe in the power of prayers and in Your word and through this scripture on marriage restoration after adultery, I’m convicted to run to You in an attempt to restore our marriage. Adultery is a choice that immensely ruins marriages and our relationship with You and we know this. I pray for healing and restoration in our marriage, Lord, and to forgive us for the marriage we’ve been taking for granted. I know that marriage is the biggest commitment we can take on as it’s the moment we unite with our spouse, and I pray You to shine our hearts with the truth of our love for one another and for You. May you remove the brokenness, guilt, and shame in our marriage and replace it with goodness and kindness. Remind us of that 1 Corinthians 13 kind of love we promised we’d share for one another and don’t let our marriage fall apart with a mistake of adultery and betrayal. May you give our hearts a huge capacity to forgive and understand, just as You keep doing the same for us. Give us the reminder to be the example of You to constantly forgive people who have wronged us, even if we don’t feel like it. May our hearts be filled with so much love, faith, and hope, that we choose to focus on that rather than any amount of brokenness, betrayal, and devastation. Lastly, may you convict us of the truth of how much we love each other and no mistake or adultery is greater than that love. May you fill us up with Your love and be so full of it that we heal from any brokenness that our marriage has given us. Remind us that marriage is the most beautiful thing in the world and while it isn’t perfect, we’ll never find a beautiful marriage like us elsewhere. Amen.
