Please pray for my husband, our daughters, & myself, as we continue to navigate through this very painful, very difficult chapter in our lives.
God knows what mistakes brought us to where we are at, today. To keep it short & sweet, my marriage has suffered ever since my husband cheated on me last year in November 2023. He began acting as if he were possessed for many months & the behaviors he was exhibiting, led to our daughters being removed from our home, & placed in foster care.
I thought once he came clean to our pastor, & to me, he would start treating me better, but he still behaves as if he’s keeping something huge from me. My husband once carried so much love, honor, compassion, empathy, & kindness for me in his heart. Now that he had this “one night stand” with the girl he cheated with, it’s completely changed him into a stranger that I don’t recognize. I feel in my heart, this was more than one time. I feel he may be in love with that woman, or even someone else. He doesn’t act like he loves me at all, or even cares about me the slightest. When he does, it will last for a few days, then he stops. Our social workers want him to get the help he needs & when there are zero issues between he & I, our girls get to come home. He can never make it. This is not the man I know. It’s like a demon transferred to him during the affair.
Please pray for the lord to convict his heart, for his addictions, for him to be the faithful loving husband I’ve known for almost 20 years, to lead him close to God again, & for him to clear his conscience & be truthful about anything that’s weighing heavy on his heart & mind. Pray that our marriage be healed, blessed, & reunited, stronger than ever before. Pray that he will honor me & no other woman, as he promised to God the day we were married under God. Pray that our daughters be reunited with us this week as we have worked so very hard together, to bring them home. Pray that we are stronger parents, as a team, than ever before. Pray that the Lord have his hand on us & our marriage. Pray for healing over our hearts, minds, bodies, & souls. Pray that our love for one another is stronger than ever before & that our empathy for one another is too. Pray that God shields & protects us from danger, & anything meant to harm our marriage. Pray that God rebukes evil from our family, & that God take the desire to cheat, away from my husband altogether. Pray that we learn to love better than ever before, pray that my husband doesn’t have an issue being intimate with me bc of the affair, & that he show us grace. I’m desperate to have my family back together. They’re all I have as everyone in my family, but the few that don’t care for me; is now deceased. I want my children home, & my husband not hate me for the mistakes he made. I cannot handle any more games on his part, or talks about leaving me or divorcing. I’ve forgiven him, but at times I still feel I’m the one who cheated bc of how I’ve been punished.
