I too am in your situation and unless someone goes through it they can never really understand how deep the pain of betrayl goes. The only thing that you need to hold onto is that God loves you very much and thinks you are worthy of extravagant love. Take all of your burdens and give them to the Lord and know that He will take care of them. He is faithful to those who love Him. He does have a plan just for you, don't give up your faith. It will not be instant but we know that good things come to those who wait. In the mean time take the peace that God offers so freely when you take your burdens to Him. God bless you and know that my prayers are with you.

Keep trying to have faith and pray to God to have your husband turn to him and pray to God that a christian male friend crosses his path in his life right now to help guide him the right way.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Ask God if there is anything that he has to change in YOU also. I was surprised when I found out what had to be changed in me when my husband committed adultery.
No, it does not justify what he does, but there may, and I say may be something that needs to be brought to light about you in your marriage also.

Shawna,
Since I don't know the whole story, it is hard to advise in such a situation. With God's help and guidance, though, the best thing to do is to evaluate and then plan, your next move.
Think about what woud be in your best interest--stay with relatives or friends, or find a place of your own or try to find a way to make the marriage work. If you have tried to make the marriage work, and it sounds like you have, then getting professional help from a lawyer and couseling on how to best handle the situation, would be the way to go.
Many psychologists can offer guidance on where to get help in the areas of jobs, temporary living quarters and coping mechanisms.
I can totally understand your frustrations, as I have several family members who have gone through this. With this kind of stress, think of yourself first and how best to take care of 'you.'
And, with any situation--bad or good--turning to the Lord and asking for His help, is the very best thing you can do, for He cares and loves you so much!
Don't give up; for Christ will help you and with prayers from those who care, an answer will be given...
God Bless,
Ann
A prayer for you...... by: Bayanda Fleming
Praise God through all circumstances,good or bad. Acknowledge the Lord in everything and be humble. We can do all things through Christ whom strengthens us.We love you Lord.Dear God, I lift up broken marriages, failed relationships, separations, divorces, adulterous relationships, abuse, addiction, hatred, unforgiveness, anger, and selfishness, all to YOU, the Healer, Restorer and Rebuilder. You send Your Spirit to renew the face of the earth. We lift up our sins, our burdens, our worries to You, O Lord. We lift them up to heaven and lay them at the foot of the cross of Jesus Christ. Take our concerns into Your competent hands and as a potter with clay, transform them into something more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. Allow us to let go of control and let God enact his perfect plan in his timing. Give us hope and faith to endure.Let us be still and know that our works are not in vain.
Although the journey is long and dark, show us that we never walk alone.
