Q
Can you please send me specific prayers to save my marriage and put us in a better financial situation? My husband is having an affair with a married woman. They say they are in love and he tells me he no longer is in love with me, but I do not believe this. I love my husband and believe he is my soul mate. I want to save my marriage and will pray every day. Please help me by sending me some prayers and praying for us as well. Thank You.

I am sorry to hear of the trouble with your husband. Since God is love, 1 John 4: 8 & 16, there is no security in love, or in anything else for that matter, without God's control in our lives. That control comes from building our faith through reading the Bible. There are no specific prayers that will save a marriage that I know of. Turn your life completely over to God through repentance if you have not already done so. For help please see our Salvation Prayer page.
Then get into God's word daily, it's the only thing that will help you. God will reveal himself with answers for your life as you read or hear his word. If you need to buy a Bible I like the NIV version. If you haven't received the Holy Spirit, according to the Book of Acts, ask for it and study the book of Act and allow the Spirit of God to speak through you. The word says He (the Holy Spirit) is our teacher and comforter, and the heavenly language is speaking to God in a direct way that Satan can't understand and interfere with the answers to our prayers. Then throw yourself at the feet of Jesus in prayer for your husband's soul and anyone else's soul he may be in contact with, co-workers, friends and yes even this woman. I knew a man many years ago who won a woman to the Lord, that was trying to break up his marriage and I'm sure his wife's prayers had something to do with it. That woman ended up close to the Lord and even received the infilling of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues one night in prayer in her own home, something her church taught against.
Next, be very careful what comes out of your mouth, Satan has the power to accomplish any negative or angry thing you say. Confess only good things no matter how you feel and be thankful to God for whatever He is doing for you. He's always working on good things for us but sometimes it requires that we have a lot of patience, weeks, month, even years. Measure your spiritual growth regularly to the word of God, especially to the Fruit of the Spirit; Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
My prayers are with you,
Cherie
