We come before the Lord with you in deep intercession for your marriage, lifting up your heart’s cry for your husband’s salvation, the restoration of your union, and the breaking of every ungodly tie that seeks to hinder what God has joined together. Your passion for your husband’s spiritual well-being and the health of your marriage is evident, and we stand with you in agreement, for where two or three are gathered in Jesus’ name, He is in the midst (Matthew 18:20). Let us first give thanks that you have invoked the name of Jesus Christ in your plea, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and by which we are saved. There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is by His authority that we pray and declare these things.
Your request reveals a deep longing for your husband’s salvation, and we share in this burden with you. The Word of God tells us that it is His will that *all* should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9), and we claim this promise over your husband. We pray that the Lord would indeed visit him in dreams and visions, just as He did with men like Joseph, Daniel, and even the apostle Paul, who encountered Christ in a way that transformed his life forever. May your husband have a divine encounter with Jesus that leaves him undone, broken before the Lord in sincere repentance, and filled with the Holy Spirit. Let him be like the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8, who, after hearing the Gospel, immediately desired baptism and surrendered his life to Christ. We plead the blood of Jesus over his heart, mind, and spirit, that every stronghold of the enemy would be demolished, and that he would turn from darkness to light, from the power of Satan to God, receiving forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Jesus (Acts 26:18).
We also address the issue of soul ties with his former wife, for the Scripture warns us not to be unequally yoked (2 Corinthians 6:14) and to flee from idolatry, which includes anything that takes the place of God in our hearts—even memories or emotional bonds from past relationships. We declare the severing of every ungodly soul tie in the name of Jesus, for we are told in Colossians 2:14-15 that Christ has canceled the record of debt that stood against us, nailing it to the cross and disarming the rulers and authorities. May your husband be completely freed from any lingering attachment, whether in his mind, emotions, or even through digital means like photos or social media. Let him be washed clean, renewed in his mind (Romans 12:2), and wholly devoted to you as his wife, just as Christ is devoted to the Church.
Your desire for unity and deep love in your marriage aligns with God’s design. Ephesians 5:22-33 instructs husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the Church and gave Himself up for her, and wives to respect their husbands. This kind of love is sacrificial, selfless, and enduring. We pray that God would cultivate this in both of your hearts—that your husband would cherish you as his own body and that you would honor him in a way that reflects the beauty of Christ and His Bride. May your communication be seasoned with grace (Colossians 4:6), your affection be pure and abundant, and your friendship be rooted in the Lord. Let your marriage be a testimony of God’s redemptive power, where two become one flesh (Genesis 2:24), united in purpose, passion, and prayer.
We also note your request for physical affection and intimacy. Within the covenant of marriage, such desires are good and God-ordained. Song of Solomon celebrates the beauty of marital love, and Hebrews 13:4 tells us that the marriage bed is to be undefiled. We pray that your intimacy would be blessed, that you would both delight in one another, and that your physical union would strengthen your emotional and spiritual bond. May your marriage be a garden enclosed (Song of Solomon 4:12), a place of safety, joy, and mutual fulfillment.
However, we must gently remind you that while it is right to desire a strong, vibrant marriage, we must also surrender our timelines and methods to the Lord. Your repeated use of “no delay” reflects a heart that is eager—perhaps even anxious—for God to move immediately. Yet, we are called to trust in His timing, for He makes all things beautiful in His time (Ecclesiastes 3:11). Rest in the assurance that God is at work, even when you cannot see it. Do not grow weary in praying, but let your requests be made known to God with thanksgiving (Philippians 4:6), trusting that He hears you and will answer according to His perfect will.
Lastly, we encourage you to examine your own heart in this season. Are there areas where you need to surrender control to God? Are there ways you can demonstrate Christ’s love to your husband, even as you wait for his salvation? Peter reminds wives in 1 Peter 3:1-2 that even if their husbands do not obey the word, they may be won over without a word by the purity and reverence of their lives. This is not a call to earn his salvation but to live in such a way that your life points him to Jesus.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our sister and her marriage. Lord, You are the God who heals, restores, and redeems, and we ask You to move powerfully in her husband’s life. Softens his heart, Lord, and draw him to Yourself. Remove every veil from his eyes (2 Corinthians 3:16) and let him see Jesus clearly—high and lifted up, the only One who can save him. We ask for divine encounters, dreams, and visions that leave him forever changed, filled with the Holy Spirit, and walking in repentance and faith. Break every chain of the enemy, sever every ungodly soul tie, and let him be wholly Yours, and wholly devoted to his wife as You intend.
Lord, we pray for unity in this marriage—a unity that reflects the oneness of Christ and the Church. Heal any brokenness, restore trust, and let their love for one another grow deeper each day. May their communication be filled with grace, their affection be pure and abundant, and their friendship be a reflection of Your love. Protect this marriage from every scheme of the enemy. Let no weapon formed against it prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and let their home be a place of peace, joy, and mutual honor.
Father, we also ask that You would fill our sister with Your peace as she waits on You. Guard her heart from anxiety and help her to trust in Your timing. Let her be a light to her husband, demonstrating Your love in word and deed. Strengthen her faith, Lord, and remind her that You are working even when she cannot see it.
We declare that this marriage will flourish for Your glory. Let it be a testament to Your redemptive power, a beacon of hope to those around them. May they both grow in their walk with You, individually and together, and may their love story point others to the ultimate love story—Christ and His Bride.
We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
