Can someone please pray for me to be strong enough to forgive my husband of ten years for a sin that entitles me by God's law to a divorce?

I do forgive; help Thou my unforgiveness!

I'm sorry for the strain you're going through, and I hope it all works out the way that it should.

I will absolutely pray, as well. I don't think God would tell you to forgive and then leave you unable to do so for long. He will work in your heart. :)

James 2:13
13 because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

We should always examine our own hearts before we place judgement on those who sins against us.
When my own marriage was failing...I was asked if there was anything that I had been doing that would
cause any of the problems.

I prayed and asked God for wisdom...He helped me see where I had been at fault.
When I went to my husband with a attitude of this was both of our faults.
He was more willing to listen and change.

I had stopped giving him positive feed back, and was taking him for granted.
He needed to feel appreciated...so he found it through approval in doing things for others.
Leaving the kids and I left home alone a lot.

I'm not saying what he did was right.
But what I am saying is... he got to spend time with a woman who was praising every thing he did
making him feel valued and important.

If you love your husband and want it to work...don't focus on the hurt when you are with him.
Focus on how to rebuild what you once had.
If the other woman is willing to fight for him, she is going to be as sweet as honey.
It is your choice to either drive him away or win him back.

Once you get his attention again, set clear boundries in the marriage to keep him accountable.
It would be good to get counceling, to find out what caused him to go to the other woman.

You have my prayers too.
Come back and let us know how you are doing.
Love in Jesus, Shekaniah

1 Peter 3:1-3
Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives.
Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes.
Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.
For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. They were submissive to their own husbands,

only with Gods help are you able to forgive him. This is a tough ugly road to find yourself on. I have been here and I will tell you straight up it is so freaking difficult. When you have that kind of pain it burns into your soul and you never forget it if you truly love them. Cling to the Lord sweetie. I promise you that if you open your mind to the Lord you will feel him oh so close to you holding you in his arms and surrounding you with this perfect peace. He weeps with you and he helps you through it step by step. This can and will increase your faith sooooo soooooo much if only you cling cling cling to our Lord. It will show you what you are made of. I wouldn't wish this kind of pain on my worse enemy. It will change you. You won't be the same and maybe we are not suppose to be. Maybe this is something that changes us to be exactly the way we are meant to become. I believe the Lord will bring beauty and good to every situation we face because he is the one in control of our lives if you surrender it to Him. Get on your knees and cry out to our Lord. He will not leave you nor forsake you. His mercy is so freaking beautiful during these moments in our lives. I will be praying for you.
