When a Spouse Is Unfaithful -BIBLE VERSES THAT CAN HELP

"When anxieties overwhelmed me, you comforted and soothed me." -PSALM 94:19.

"As I read that verse, I imagined Jehovah soothing my pain tenderly, as a compassionate father would," recalls Bill.

"With someone loyal you act in loyalty." -PSALM 18:25. 

"My husband had not been loyal," explains Carmen, whose husband had been unfaithful for months." But I could trust in Jehovah's loyalty.  He would  never let me down."

"Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication . . . let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God hat surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts." -PHILIPPIANS 4:6, 7.

"I read the text over and over again," says Sasha. "As I prayed more and more, God gave me peace in my life." 

All those quoted above felt like giving up at times. But they trusted in Jehovah God and drew strength from his Word.  Bill put it this way.  "My faith gave meaning to my life when everything else seemed to have collapsed/  Though I walked for a time "in the valley of deep shadow,' God was with me." -PSALM 23:4.
