Recently, circumstances forced me to reveal to my wife that I had been having an affair. Obviously this hurt her very badly.

Please pray for my wife, that she will recover from the pain I caused her.

Please pray also for our marriage. I realize that what I did was stupid and selfish, but I also realize that the relationship with my wife is extremely important. Please pray with me that we both have the strength to do whatever is necessary to rebuild our life together.

I am praying for all other couples who have found themselves in similar situations and also wish to reconcile with one another.

Dear Heavenly Father, I come before You asking for Your mercy and Your grace in this marriage. Father, I would ask that You would help them to heal from this sin that has been committed. Lord God, help her to see that all sin is a violation of Your laws and that the sin is actually against You and not her. Father, help Richard to repent of what he has done. Cleanse his heart of all improper motives. Help him to love his wife in a Godly manner and help her to forgive him for the pain and hurt he has caused her. Father, give them the wisdom to be slow to anger, to seek guidance from the Holy Spirit, and to learn to honor each other above themselves. Father, you have brought many marriages back from the throws of adultery. I ask you to bring this one back too. We ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen

God Bless Richard

PS: You need to also go to rejoicemin.org, and restorem.org. they are for marriage reconciliation.

I stand in agreement with that prayer, sg. I joined both of those sites too & they really do help get you through and help you keep your faith strong.

Richard,

My prayers are with you. The first step to seeking the kingdom of God is repentance & I am so happy to hear that you have done that. I will also pray that your wife will be able to recover. It will all take time & patience will need to prayed for very fervently right now. No matter what, keep your faith strong & God will lead you both to a bright future. My heart goes out to you. Please come back to this board & join us in prayer and lifting each other up. This WILL help you in your spiritual journey toward reconciliation. God bless.

RchardF,
Right now, rebuild your relationship to Jesus Christ. Talk with Him every opportunity you have: at home, at work, while going to/from work, at play, ALL THE TIME. There is never a wrong time to pray. He is ALWAYS ready to listen us. A prayer can be short or long; can be a verse of song (sorry for the rhyming <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> ). It only need come from your heart.

If you keep praying and reading the Bible and working on your First Love Relationship with God (remember, He is a jealous God and wants first place in your heart), He will work on your W and her heart.

You have come to a great place; both here at this MB Prayer Forum, and in your life by asking God for forgiveness.

Father, look to Your Repentant Child, RichardF. See what is in his heart as he comes to you for forgiveness. By Jesus's Most Precious Blood, cleanse him and protect him from Satan's lies and deceit. While he builds his relationship with you, work on his wife's heart. Let her know that he is truly sorry for what he did to her and thier marriage. Protect her from seeking revenge or causing more harm to her marriage and herself.
We ask this through, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

God's Blessings,
