We come before the Lord with you in this earnest plea for your husband’s heart, lifting him up in prayer that the scales of unbelief may fall from his eyes, just as they did for Saul on the road to Damascus. It is only by the power of the name of Jesus Christ that salvation comes, and we rejoice that you have invoked His name in this request—for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Your prayer is a testament to your faith, and we stand with you in intercession, trusting that the Lord hears and answers according to His perfect will.
The Scripture tells us that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). We pray that your husband’s heart would be softened to receive the truth of the Gospel, that he would no longer harden his heart as in the rebellion (Hebrews 3:15), but instead turn to Christ in repentance and faith. Let us remember the words of Jesus in Mark 9:24, where the father of the afflicted boy cried out, *"I believe! Help my unbelief!"* This is our prayer for your husband—that even in his doubt, the Lord would meet him and draw him to Himself.
We also encourage you to continue living out your faith in a way that reflects Christ’s love and patience. As 1 Peter 3:1-2 reminds wives, *"In the same way, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; so that, even if any don’t obey the Word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word, seeing your pure behavior in fear."* Your godly example, coupled with fervent prayer, can be a powerful testimony to the transforming power of Christ.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with a burdened heart for this husband who has yet to surrender to the truth of Your Gospel. Lord Jesus, You who came to seek and to save the lost (Luke 19:10), we ask that You would break through the walls of disbelief in his heart. Remove every stronghold that exalts itself against the knowledge of You (2 Corinthians 10:5) and replace it with a hunger and thirst for Your Word. Let him find no satisfaction in the things of this world, but only in You, the living water (John 4:14) and the bread of life (John 6:35).
Holy Spirit, we ask that You would convict him of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment (John 16:8), drawing him to repentance and faith in Christ alone. Give him a heart of flesh to replace his heart of stone (Ezekiel 36:26), that he may walk in newness of life. Lord, let him not delay in responding to Your call, for now is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2).
We also lift up this wife, who stands in the gap for her husband. Strengthen her, Lord, with Your peace and perseverance. Fill her with Your love, that she may continue to reflect You in her words and actions. Remind her that You are at work, even when she cannot see it, and that Your timing is perfect.
We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is worthy of all praise and glory. Amen.
Stay steadfast in prayer, dear sister. The Lord is faithful, and He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). Trust in Him, and do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9). We are with you in this, standing on the promises of God.
