Praying God will guide you

That's the problem, AnandaHya. My wife is overseas for the next 4 weeks and we don't regularly attend any church.

I know this is a very hard place, so I hope the Lord gives my mouth wisdom for you:

This reminds me of sackcloth and ashes. The other night I had a dream. In this dream I did something very evil. Before I did it, there was a powerful tug at me not to do it. I was swayed back and forth to do and not to do it. And I did it unwillingly. I know this is strange, but yes, unwillingly.

As soon as I did it, my whole Spirit and body and soul wept and fell down to the ground. And I morned and wailed, bitterly. The regret was so powerful I felt like a dying cow. If there had been dirt, I would have put them over my face and lay in it. If I had clothes I would have torn them off for the bitter wailing of my soul. I don't know if you have ever felt this feeling, but it is deep and powerful and it is a lamentation.

My friend, I believe this is the regret of our very souls when we sin (I am talking about the true worshipers of Jesus).

By the time we go to God, we have beat ourselves up enough (This is really the work of the Spirit), so much so that when we get there he meets us with grace, which really confirms our trust in him. Because he does not bruise a bruised person, nor hurt a hurting person, and it was written, if our HEART condemn us not, then we have confidence with God. But that confidence comes from confession and repentance of sin.

However, here is Satan's trick. We know God is full of eternal mercy, but people are not so. So when we are told to go make up with someone that has something against us, we all hopefully hope they will forgive us. But if they reject us then we will still be forgiven, and their hearts will be hardened.

My friend, put on your sackcloth and ashes, not for show, but in sincerity. If she will forgive you then you will know the Lord has also, but if she will not, do not fall into condemnation, because though people will not forgive, yet will God forgive you of your trespass. This sin was not so much against your wife as it was against the Lord God.

Remember David, how that, after he was told by the prophet of the Lord his crime, he was willing that the Lord would judge him so that he would not fall into the hands of man. And remember how he humbled himself before the Lord his God. And God looked on him, and lifted him up, because he humbled himself in the fear of the Lord.

I love you in Jesus Christ.

Both of you are in my prayers in Jesus for his care, forgiveness and healing.

God bless.

Christian marriage counseling or steerage is something I think is important to a Christian married couple seeking advice and direction concerning their relationship. The benefit from Christian marriage counseling couples will need to be humble and get constructive feedback about their relationship.

You need to let her know what you have done, you have done somthing bad, you need to fess up and take the consequences. Maybe she'll love you enough to stay, maybe not, but the ball is and should be in her court.

If by some random way she finds out, from someone other than you, you will only end up hurting and humiliating her further. There should be no secrets in a marriage, no matter how much it hurts the other.

Im praying that everything works out, for the two young soul caught up in it all.

How am I or anyone able to condemn or judge? Remember the following:
John 8:4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
Joh 8:5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
Joh 8:6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
Joh 8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
Joh 8:8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
Joh 8:9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
Joh 8:10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
Joh 8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
If Jesus Christ forgives, and He does, you are forgiven.

I know what you are going through and I also know the pain and guilt that comes with it. Sadly I did the same to my husband and ended up pregnant and I dont even know who the father is. So I've been there . But I would tell ur wife and ask God for forgiveness and don't ever do it again. My husband is still with me and I have told him everything. I pray that ur wife forgives you and does the same. Just repent and move on God will forgive u ! I wish u the best of luck with ur wife, but honesty is the key.
Romans 8:28 - And we know through all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose

My prayers are with just continue to prayer and ask God for guidance.

It be an honour to pray for you dude.

Well you've taken the first step. I believe honesty is the best policy with your wife. Sincere repentance demonstrated towards her. Of course God forgives
us when we ask. It will take a long time to rebuild trust, you may need to consider marriage counseling with a good person. I believe the married
couple that prays together stays together - have you ever tried praying together every night? God bless you.
