Just two months ago, I ended a six-month affair and gave my heart to Jesus. My pastor has said that since my husband has threatened to take our daughter away (even though he can't) if he ever found out I was unfaithful, that I should never tell him. I have followed my pastor's advice, but remain heartbroken because I have destroyed the trust in my marriage. I am dedicated to remaining faithful to my husband, but still deeply care for my affair partner. My prayer request is that there will be a miraculous rekindling of my relationship with my husband.

Father,


Thankyou for the work you are doing in this womans life, and for reconciling her to you.

I pray that she will know how to show love to him, and that he will respond to your light in her.

Lord,

We who have sinned against you, and aginst our sposes, give praise and thanks to you that you have called us to account for our actions. Help us to live as you want us to, not concentrating on our own selfish needs, but rather the needs of those around us. Help us to overcome whatever led us to betray our vows. Help our spouses also, that they may find forgiveness for what we have done. We ask this, as always, in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ.

Amen.

I am sure your pastor gave the right advice. I sometimes wish that I had enlisted their help long before my A (and the SA problem which led to it) led to the point that I *had* to tell my W. (The risk of an STD... which if present would have needed significant and long-term treatment... meant that I really had no other appropriate choice). At this time, my W is still unwilling (or unable) to forgive what happened. She isn't even speaking to me today - I foolishly left my desk to get a cup of coffee, which happened to be the same time that she 'phoned and she believes I was actively betraying her again. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

I hope you are able to resist any temptation to betray your H - especially if you didn't get "caught" in your previous A, and the circumstances which led to you looking outside your marriage remain unchanged for any significant period of time.

God Bless,
Richard

Lord, I pray now for broken, and ask that You would help her forgive herself. Lord, please fill her heart with Your spirit and bring healing to this marriage. Thank You Lord for bringing restoration to this marriage, and I thank You and praise Your holy name for the miraculous rekindling of love in this marriage. Thank You Lord for delivering broken from the hand of the enemy. Thank You Lord enlightening her eyes to her sin. Thank You Lord for forgiving her of her sin. In Jesus name, AMEN.
