You can and you will find the peace and forgiveness that you are looking for. You just have to surrender it to the Lord and when Satan tries to tell you that you haven't, you call him a liar and tell him that you have.
Also, not only should you pray that their eyes are opened, but that they receive the strength and the courage to walk away from each other and go back to where the Lord wants them to be. We all know that adultery brings death and I don't mean just physical.
If you read the book of Hosea, it talks about him being married to a woman, Gomer, who is an adultress. The Lord compared this to us and to what we do to the Lord. Do you realize that when you do not follow the Lord, but follow the world and worship money and things of that nature, that you are like the adulteress? There is only one God and when we are worshipping other people or things, we are doing the same thing.
Did not know that until yesterday when he took me there to read the story. He compared Israel to Gomer his wife. This is what I learned.
Spiritual unfaithfulness is Spiritual adultery. Spiritual adultery and physical adultery are alike in many ways, and both are dangerous. God was disappointed with his people because they had committed spiritual adultery against him, as Gomer had committed physical adultery against Hosea.
Parallels: Both spiritual and physical adultery are against God's law. The Danger: When we break God's law in full awareness of what we're doing, our hearts become hardened to the sin and our relationship with God is broken.
Parallel: Both spiritual and physical adultery begin with disappointment and dissatisfaction--either real or imagined--with an already existing relationship. The Danger: The feeling that God disappoints can lead you away from him. Feelings of disappointment and dissatisfaction are normal and, when endured, will pass.
Parallel: Both spiritual and physical adultery begin with diverting affection from one object of devotion to another. The Danger: The diverting of our affection is the first step in the blinding process that leads into sin.
Parallel: Both spiritual and physical adultery involve a process of deterioration; it is not usually an impulsive decision. The Danger: The process is dangerous because you don't always realize it is happening until it is too late.
Parallel: Both spiritual and physical adultery involve the creation of a fantsy about what a new object of love can do for you. The Danger: Such fantasy creates unrealistic expectations of what a new relationship can do and only leads to disappointment in all existing and future relationships.
The scripture to pray is Hosea 2:6-7. Put your spouses name in there.
