prayer against adultery. Gracious and holy God,
I come before You today, acknowledging Your holiness
and the sacredness of the covenant of marriage.
You created love, intimacy and faithfulness,
gifts that reflect Your own nature. Yet in my
weakness I recognize the pull of temptation and
the lies of the enemy. Lord, protect my heart
from the sin of adultery. Whether in thought,
in desire, in fantasy, or in action. Cleanse
me of anything that does not honor you or my
commitment. Let me not be deceived by temporary
pleasure that leads to deep pain and destruction.
You said in Hebrews 13 .4, marriage should be
honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure,
for God will judge the adulterer and all the
sexually immoral. So today I choose to honor
my spouse, my body, and you. Strengthen me in
moments of weakness. Give me wisdom to set boundaries
that guard my heart and mind. Help me flee from
situations, conversations or connections that
could lead me astray. Expose any area of compromise
in my life and shine your truth on it. If I have
sinned, Lord, I repent with a broken and contrite
heart. Restore me, cleanse me, heal my marriage
and renew our trust. If I am being tempted, make
the way of escape clear and give me the courage
to take it. If my spouse has sinned, help me
walk through the pain with your strength, truth,
and grace. I declare that I belong to you, and
my body, my heart, and my love are yours first,
then faithfully given to my spouse. I refuse
to let the enemy destroy what you have joined
together. Thank you, Father, for your mercy.
for your guidance and for the power to walk in
purity. In Jesus' name, amen.
