Lord Restore My Marriage

Lord Restore My Marriage: I need prayer for strength, peace, endurance, how do I handle the hurt and pain of infidelity. I love God, I love my husband. We use to walk in love and harmony and had God as Number 1 in our life. I became very ill and unable to work, my husband has been given the gift of music(when his mother was pregnant she was prophesied that the baby she was carrying would be very musically inclined but nothing would be right in his life unless he was playing for God) , We have both been raised in the church. That is what drew me to my husband, we were both raised the same. My husband took a 2nd job playing in a secular band. Things have gone down hill since then. We quit doing devotions together, praying together and reading the Bible together. I miss that so much. We just celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary (we have been together 25 yrs). 3 weeks later he came home and said he didn't love me and moved out. We hadn't been fighting, I thought every thing was good. We were affectionate, we talked. He sent me a message 2 weeks before he left telling me how much he loved me, appreciated me and wanted to marry me again for 22 years. He always told me stuff like this. He tried to lie and say he was moving in with his brother. well he posted out on Facebook that he had moved in with his new girl. Talk about having a knife stuck in my heart. The woman he is with has been divorced 3 times, finalizing her divorce 2 weeks before he moved out. I am devastated. I still Love him and don't want to throw away 25 years. God had been dealing with me before this happened, and I had said something to my husband and said I missed praying together going to church. My faith has remained strong and I just don't understand this. I can barely function. I filed for separation because I need help financially (he didn't want me to work). I just want what we had only stronger, I want what we had when we were in the word and God was number 1 in our lives. I don't even know how to pray anymore. I try to give it to God but am human and sit and worry and wonder. I don't want a divorce. Please pray for my marriage to be restored, that we become stronger in God and have God as the head of this house. Pray that I have peace and that this sickness in my stomach go away. That I can still maintain through all of this.

God Bless and Thank you!
