Yes i will pray for you.
Does your church have a counselling service or a family ministries department or something like that that can help you? If so i would suggest going to them as you may find it helpful.
Also, obviously you are very hurt and upset, and Jesus did say that adultery is legitimate grounds for divorce, but if it is at all possible, i think the Christian thing to do is to try and eventually patch up your relationship with your husband and forgive him.
The people who hurt us the most are those who are closest to us because we expect loyalty from them, so if they betray us it husts the most. But remember the book of Hosea and how God uses marriage to an unfaithful spouse in that book to illustrate how longsuffering he is to his wayward people. Also, the main point of the Lord's prayer seems to be forgiveness since after telling it to his discipples, Jesus said , "For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses" (Matt 6:14-15).
He also said, "But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you" (Luke 6:27-28, see also verses 29-35; Matt 5:43-48). So do pray for your husband. Pray for God to forgive him, and to work on his heart and change it for the better. Your husband has treated you in a very evil way but evil can be overcome by good (Romans 12:20-21).

i think of every person have days and nights that we don't pray. yet you're a minimum of questioning approximately God by technique of telling your self you could not pray this night.'' that is probable once you're the main drained, which you will not pray. it fairly is the way i'm. I purely say a speedy prayer and ask God to forgive me for not praying this night and to help me be better the next day so i will pray. in specific circumstances I even visit sleep asserting that short prayer. it is basic to break a sturdy habit and confusing to start up a sturdy habit lower back. do purely not enable skipping praying a pair of nights get you right into a bad habit of not praying. the comparable is going for examining God's word we'd desire to examine some on a regular basis much less we extremely all mutually.

You are right, your fellow Christians will lift you up in prayer and send you loving thoughts because you have sustained a dreadful loss...husband, sister and trust. Try to find a support group divorceshare is a good one. All loss and grief hurt but fade over time. The key is to be honest about what you feel and to feel the pain, not try to deny or repress it. It gets better.

I am SO sorry! You know that JESUS will restore the years that the swarming locusts have eaten. I lift you up to our Father knowing that HE will be the lifter of your head and the firm foundation you stand on. HE will hide you under the shadow of HIS wings where HE will give you the balm of Gilead. May you know the peace that passes all understanding and may GOD HIMSELF protect you from those who would take this opportunity to try to hurt you more or shake your faith in HIM.
May the Blessings of our LORD be upon you:-)
