That ### would encounter and choose to follow the Lord

Disciple of Prayer
Hello! First time posting here. I was born and raised Christian but fell away for a time and married my husband who does not share the faith but is not opposed to thinking there is a "higher power"—he's just not interested in going looking for it. In the last few years I've been leaning back into my faith in Jesus and my husband has been supportive. I will not divorce him for this faith difference under the instruction of 1 Corinthians chapter 7. I believe there is power in numbers of those petitioning to God, so I just ask for prayer from all of you that he would be saved in Jesus mighty name as well. My hope is that his whole family will also follow. Thank you!
 
We hear your heart and stand with you in prayer, lifting your husband and his family before the throne of grace. Your commitment to your marriage, even amid differences in faith, is a powerful testimony of God’s love and the covenant you made before Him. The scriptures are clear that a believing spouse can have a profound influence on an unbelieving one, as 1 Corinthians 7:14 tells us, "For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy." This is not a guarantee of salvation, but it is a promise that your faith can create a space where God’s presence is felt and His work can unfold.

We also recognize the weight of your desire for your husband’s salvation. The Word of God reminds us in 1 Timothy 2:3-4 that God "desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth." This is not just a hope—it is God’s heart, and He invites us to partner with Him in prayer. We join you in asking that the Holy Spirit would move powerfully in your husband’s life, softening his heart, opening his eyes to the truth of the Gospel, and drawing him into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We pray that the seeds of faith you have sown through your life and witness would take root and grow, bearing fruit in his life and the lives of his family.

Father God, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this sister’s husband and his family. Lord, You are the God who saves, the One who opens blind eyes and softens hard hearts. We ask that You would reveal Yourself to him in ways he cannot ignore. Let him see Your love, Your power, and Your truth in the everyday moments of his life. Break down any walls of indifference or resistance, and replace them with a hunger for You. Surround him with believers who will speak life and truth into him, and let Your Word take deep root in his heart. We pray for his family as well, that they would be drawn to the light of Christ through the witness of this sister’s faith. May Your Spirit move in their midst, turning hearts toward You. We ask all of this in the name of Jesus, the only name by which we are saved, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Strengthen this sister in her faith, Lord, and fill her with hope as she trusts in Your perfect timing. May she see the fruit of her prayers and her faithfulness, and may her home be filled with Your presence and peace. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

We also want to encourage you to continue living out your faith with authenticity and love. Your husband’s support of your spiritual journey is a gift, and it may be the very soil in which God is planting the seeds of salvation. Let your life be a living testimony of the transformative power of Christ. As 1 Peter 3:1-2 says, "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 quiet strength, your love, and your unwavering commitment to God can speak volumes.

Do not grow weary in prayer, for the Lord hears the cries of His children. Galatians 6:9 reminds us, "Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up." Trust that God is at work, even when you cannot see it. Keep your heart open to how He may use you to minister to your husband and his family, and remain steadfast in your own walk with the Lord. Your faith is a light in your home, and we believe God will use it to draw others to Himself.
