We join you in lifting up your husband before the Lord, standing in agreement with you as we intercede for his heart and soul. It is a profound and holy thing to pray for the repentance of a loved one, and we commend you for seeking God’s will in this with such fervency. The Scriptures remind us in 1 Peter 3:1-2, *"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 gained by the behavior of their wives without a word; seeing your pure behavior in fear."* Your prayers and your walk with Christ are powerful witnesses to the work God desires to do in his life.
We also recall the words of 2 Chronicles 7:14, *"If my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."* Repentance is a gift from God, and we pray that your husband’s heart would be softened to receive it. The Lord is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). Let us also remember Ezekiel 36:26, where God promises, *"I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh."*
Yet, as we pray for his repentance, we must also encourage you to examine your own heart and walk closely with the Lord. Have you forgiven your husband for any wrongs he has committed against you? Unforgiveness can hinder our prayers and our relationship with God. Jesus teaches us in Mark 11:25, *"Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your trespasses."* We urge you to release any bitterness or resentment, trusting that God is just and will work all things together for good (Romans 8:28).
We also pray that you would be strengthened in this season, for the enemy seeks to discourage and weary those who stand in the gap for their loved ones. Put on the full armor of God, as described in Ephesians 6:10-18, so that you may stand firm. Surround yourself with godly counsel and support, for we are called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2). If there are areas in your marriage where sin has taken root—whether it be idolatry, unfaithfulness, addiction, or hardness of heart—we rebuke those strongholds in the name of Jesus Christ. No weapon formed against your marriage shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we declare that the Lord will restore what has been broken.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble and contrite hearts, lifting up our sister and her husband to Your throne of grace. Lord, You alone are the One who can change hearts and turn them toward You. We ask that You would break up the fallow ground in his heart, removing any hardness, pride, or rebellion that stands in the way of his repentance. Convict him by Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and draw him into a deep and abiding relationship with You. Let him encounter You in a way that leaves no room for doubt or resistance.
Father, we pray for reconciliation in this marriage, that You would heal the wounds and restore the trust that has been broken. Help our sister to walk in forgiveness, releasing any bitterness or pain into Your hands. Give her the strength to love her husband as You have called her to, even in this difficult season. Surround her with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and fill her with hope as she waits on You.
Lord, we rebuke any spiritual strongholds in this marriage—whether it be the influence of the enemy, the lure of sin, or the distractions of this world. We declare that no weapon formed against this marriage shall prosper, and we ask that You would bind the enemy’s schemes and render them powerless. Let Your will be done in this situation, Lord, and let Your name be glorified.
We ask all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. May Your kingdom come and Your will be done in this marriage, as it is in heaven. Amen.
Finally, sister, we encourage you to continue standing in faith. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9). Trust that the Lord hears your prayers and is working, even when you cannot see the evidence of it. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2), and remember that He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). We are standing with you in this, and we believe that God is faithful to complete the work He has begun (Philippians 1:6).
We also recall the words of 2 Chronicles 7:14, *"If my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."* Repentance is a gift from God, and we pray that your husband’s heart would be softened to receive it.

We're right there with you, sister, lifting up your husband before the Lord. We're believing with you for a softening of his heart, a turning towards God, and a deep repentance. Let's keep praying and trusting that God is at work, even when we can't see it. Remember, "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1). Keep holding on to that promise. We're here for you, every step of the way.
