Prayer For the Other Woman

Today’s prayer from my heart is a prayer on behalf of the “other woman”. I have experienced brokenness in my marriage and adultery manifested out of that brokenness.  Although a part of me wanted to lash out at the other woman, God had me do something else. He had me turn my cheek and ignore my angry fleshy instincts. He had me pray for her and minister to her about Jesus. He gave me a heart to look after her soul because what she thought she could get from my husband was really what she needed from Jesus. Yes, I prayed for her; and I also spoke the truth in love and strength that as his wife, I’m forever here to stay– while her choice was to move on with her life and never look back at my husband. She graciously apologized, accepted and agreed to move on. So what the enemy meant for evil, God turned it into good and for a blessing for all concerned.
Amen, let’s pray.
Father, we pray for the hearts of the broken, twisted women who believe that love is born out of desperation and deceit. We pray for the other women. We know love because You sent your Son to die so that we can have life eternally wrapped in Your love and Your purpose. Thank You that Your love is in itself a covenant in JESUS. We pray for the women who choose to be the other woman because they are in bondage, being used by the enemy, as doorways to death. They are wrapped in death, carrying out the enemy’s purpose to break up Your covenant marriages.
Father, instead of beaming our spotlights into their dark, adulterous deeds with hearts filled with hate, animosity, and vindictiveness, We beam spotlights of grace towards these women. They are enemies of our marriages but more than wanting to hurt them in retaliation, help us to do Your will and bless our enemies.** Yes, love them, even. Because they are just crusts–full of emptiness and desperate, distorted longings that they think will be fulfilled in the arms of another woman’s husband. They are so lost they cannot even see their own way out of their broken house of mirrors hearts. Even though they are mindful of the hurt and stolen affections and time….We pray for the grace needed to see them with eyes of grace. Lord, give us hearts strengthened with the resolve to stand firm in the face of the other woman’s opposition and in our belief that the spell they have cast over married men to confuse their hearts is broken in JESUS’ name!!! We rebuke the demonic, quicksand, sexual lure of these women in the name of JESUS!!!!! We pray for them because they are in need of being delivered from the devil’s grasp. We pray for the salvation of the other woman because somewhere in her life, the enemy convinced her that being a man’s “other” woman is better and more satisfying than being his only woman–his wife.
We pray Lord, as a community of wives that You will fill their hearts with love and healthy remorse so they will turn married men away and run to You! Give them a desire to stop being open doorways to Sheol*** and instead be gated communities of single women who are redeemed of adultery and saved by Your grace!!!
Lord, Let them no longer rejoice over “stolen waters”* over stolen moments, stolen sex with married men. Give them the desire to seek You instead of running into the arms of married men to soothe their emptiness, wounded hearts and warped self-esteem. We pray that You will turn for good what the enemy has meant for the destruction of Your covenant marriages. Give wives the wisdom and strength needed in their marriages to stand for their restorations, but let them not forget to pray for the lost soul of the other woman in need of Your saving grace. Break the chains in JESUS name!!! Free the other women and the snared husbands from the spirits of lust, fornication, and adultery in JESUS’ name!!!! Hedge them up Father so they lose the way, lose the lust for, lose the desire to look at call, text, message anyone’s husband in JESUS’ name just as you say in Your Word in Hosea 2:6-7
” But I’ll block her way with a thorn hedge;
I’ll put a wall up around her, blocking her usual paths,
7 and she will wander after her lovers like a dumb sheep.
She’ll chase after them, but she won’t catch them.
She’ll look for them, but she won’t find them.”
Glory Hallelujah!!!!!! AMEN!!!!
