Served divorce papers-please pray for guidence

Dedicated to: TGB

I am so confused and conflicted over what I need to do. My husband served me with divorce papers. I know that God hates divorce, but it is written that “You have heard the law that says, ‘A man can divorce his wife by merely giving her a written notice of divorce.’ But I say that a man who divorces his wife, unless she has been unfaithful, causes her to commit adultery. And anyone who marries a divorced woman also commits adultery." Matthew 5:31-32
He was unfaithful, he is divorcing me, he is the unbeliever and he is leaving me. I'm not looking to get into a new relationship, EVER, I want my husband. But I am conflicted with whether I should fight the divorce and not give it to him because God hates divorce, or go forward with it, in faith the God will work in this as He does all things.
1 Corinthians 7:15-17 "(But if the husband or wife who isn’t a believer insists on leaving, let them go. In such cases the Christian husband or wife is no longer bound to the other, for God has called you to live in peace.) Don’t you wives realize that your husbands might be saved because of you? And don’t you husbands realize that your wives might be saved because of you? Each of you should continue to live in whatever situation the Lord has placed you, and remain as you were when God first called you."
Please pray for me, earnestly, and please let me know if God lays any guidence on your heart for me.
I will stand for my marriage, but “When you are on the way to court with your adversary, settle your differences quickly..." Matthew 5:25
I cannot make my husband stay married to me...he is already with the other woman. The more I fight it the more it pushes him away.
Please pray for me. Thank you.

someone reposted my "why I stand" post from last month on another site. I felt like God had it reposted for me to see and for others. I hope it can help remind others today about why they are standing for their marriages.
WHY I STAND:
I have been asking God to save my marriage for a few months now. I have also been asking you all to stand with me as I fight for my wifes salvation and our marriage.
A few days ago I was asked why I am doing this and why I dont just stop and move on.
I pray for my marriage because God has made me the prayer warrior of my family.
I pray because I Love my wife Tina, with unconditional love, and I will not break our vows.
I pray because God has asked me to fight to break a generational curse.
I pray because my marriage and family depend on me.
I pray because my heart hurts daily without my wife.
I pray because my wife and I share a child who is in heaven who is depending on me to fight and ask God to bring mommy and daddy back together.
I pray because I will not let satan claim my wife and our marriage.
I pray because our unborn children need us to be together to be born.
I pray because God has told me that he will restore, renew, reconcile and reunite my family.
I pray because God told me to.
I stand here today once again asking Jesus to go after my wife. To change her heart and mind. I ask Jesus to rescue my wife from the grips of sin and to return her to the father. I ask Jesus to please return my wife to my arms. I stand again today asking both night and day for my family to be healed and to be reunited. I ask for protection from Gods angels and for the blood of Jesus to cover us. I declair the satan has no authority over my wife, our marriage, or our lives.
I will stand on the promises that God has put on my heart until my last day if asked.
I know that God will save my wife and family and the spouses and families of ALL those who believe in his word and pray with faith.
Never give up!! Its in Gods perfect timing.

Gengreen-

you already have the answers to your question. God said that any unbeliever to let him go. Pray, and let go. As God for directions and then and only then will he be able to give it to you. I agree with nevergiveup.

Father God, I lift up Gengreen to you. I ask that you would do a miracle in her marriage that is now about to break apart. I ask that you would work in her husband, that you would make yourself known to him, and bring him to salvation. Convict him that he should stay with his wife Lord. I also ask that you guide Gengreen as she faces this situation. Lord give her discernment and wisdom, and let her know whether she should fight the divorce or whether she should go forward with it. Give her peace regarding this decision Lord. In Jesus name, Amen.
