I just learned that my wife has been lying about the nature of this pending divorce the entire time. She tried to blame me for it, but has actually begun an affair.

She is daughter of two Baptist ministers, and always claimed to be a good Christian. She has been attending Church regularly, but I am afraid that is may be for show.

"Heavenly Father, please send your Holy Spirit to return this woman to your fold. She has turned her back on you, Lord, and has committed adultery and borne false witness against her husband. She has been consumed with lust for a man she knows she will not marry. Please send the Holy Spirit to convict her of her sins, that she might confess and repent to You. In Jesus' Holy Name, we pray..."

Hi Awake,

I am so sorry to hear about your pain. All the preacher's kids I've known have been a little on the wild side. Perhaps they are expected to be model children to the point that they just rebel or reject the teachings they grew up with. It must be even more painful for you in your situation, not just because of the A, but because you know your WW is well aware of the consequences, both spiritual and physical.

My H had rejected his faith, too, and I think that's part of what led to EA. He has since told me he WANTS to go to church again (thankful tears!). I am letting him know that I am praying for him all the time. He is having a bad time in the workplace now (weird stuff going on), and when he left I just held him and told him "I'm praying for you." He gave a deep sigh and said "Thank you".

At this point, the only thing you can do is pray for all your worth, the Lord will work on your W. If you can, call in some faithful friends and have them pray, too. You don't have to give details, you can just say your M is having trouble, please pray. People are OK with that.

I will pray for guidance, wisdom and strength for you both. Hope things improve for you both very soon. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

God's Blessings!

Dear Heavenly Father,
You are Lord and Maker of all things. You made our hearts and minds in Your image. I claim 'awakes' wife in Jesus name, that she would be restored to her first love, You Jesus, and that her eyes would no longer be blinded by the enemies lies and she would be restored to her husband, who loves her and is waiting for her to come home. Give this man a peace Lord, and a patience that can only come from You, as he leans into You and gives this all to You. In Jesus Name. Amen.
