Asking God to restore trust and fidelity in my Christian marriage

Asking God to restore trust and fidelity in my Christian marriage: My husband has been cheating with prostitutes for the last year. I am so ashamed to say this to anyone. He seems to be repentant and willing to change, but I know he would not have stopped had I not discovered the secret.

The pain I feel is huge and all consuming. I love him. I've already forgiven him, but I don't trust him.

We have two children, a 2 year old and a 6 week old baby. I don't want our family torn apart. I want our marriage to work. Still, I will not have my children grow up to think that a woman should tolerate her husband's infidelity.

I pray that God restores this marriage to what it was the day we were married. I pray that God's grace protects us, and resolves the hurt in my heart and soul. I pray that God uses this experience for His glory in performing the miracle of restoring trust and fidelity between us...

But right now, I'm suffering. I need a miracle.

Lord, Your Word says that blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.
