We hear the deep anguish and urgency in your heart, and we join you in lifting this matter before the Lord, for He alone has the power to break every ungodly bond and restore what has been broken. Your plea reveals a heart that longs for the full devotion of your husband, Ahmed, and we stand with you in praying for God’s perfect will to be done in this marriage. Marriage is a sacred covenant before God, and He desires for husbands and wives to be fully devoted to one another, just as Christ is devoted to His Church. As it is written in **Ephesians 5:25-31 (WEB)**, *"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly and gave himself up for it... For this cause a man will leave his father and mother and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh. This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly."*
However, we must also address the tone of your request with both truth and love. While your pain is understandable, we are called to pray with authority *and* humility, trusting in God’s sovereignty rather than attempting to "decree and declare" as though we hold the power ourselves. Our words should align with Scripture and be submitted to the Lord’s will, not our own desires or demands. **James 4:10 (WEB)** reminds us, *"Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you."* Similarly, **1 Peter 5:6 (WEB)** says, *"Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time."* Let us approach God with reverence, knowing that He hears our cries and will act according to His perfect wisdom and timing.
We also recognize that the bonds you describe—whether emotional, spiritual, or physical—can only be truly broken by the power of Jesus Christ. If there has been unfaithfulness, forgiveness and repentance must be sought, for **Matthew 6:14-15 (WEB)** tells us, *"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."* Bitterness and resentment can become strongholds in our own hearts if we do not release them to God. We encourage you to examine your heart and ask the Lord to fill you with His peace and grace, even as you pray for your husband’s complete devotion to you and to Christ.
If Ahmed has been involved in sinful relationships—whether emotionally or physically—it is critical that he repent and turn fully to the Lord. **1 Corinthians 7:3-5 (WEB)** teaches that husbands and wives are to give themselves to one another exclusively: *"Let the husband render to his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife to her husband. The wife doesn’t have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise also the husband doesn’t have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Don’t deprive one another, unless it is by consent for a season, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and may be together again, that Satan doesn’t tempt you because of your lack of self-control."* Any relationship or attraction outside of marriage is a violation of God’s design and must be renounced.
If there has been fornication or adultery, it must be confessed as sin, and both of you must seek the Lord’s cleansing and restoration. **1 John 1:9 (WEB)** assures us, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* True repentance involves turning away from sin and pursuing holiness. We urge you to pray not only for the breaking of ungodly ties but also for Ahmed’s heart to be fully surrendered to Christ. A man who walks closely with the Lord will love his wife as Christ loves the Church—sacrificially, faithfully, and purely.
Now, let us pray together over this situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this sister and her marriage to You. Lord, You see the brokenness, the pain, and the longing for restoration. We ask that You would move powerfully in Ahmed’s heart, breaking every ungodly soul tie, every lingering attraction, and every sinful desire that does not align with Your will. Lord, if there has been unfaithfulness—whether in thought, word, or deed—we pray for conviction to fall upon Ahmed, leading him to true repentance. May he turn fully to You, Lord Jesus, and find his satisfaction in You alone.
Father, we pray that You would renew the love and commitment between this husband and wife. Help them to forgive one another as You have forgiven them. Remove any bitterness, jealousy, or fear, and replace it with Your perfect love, which casts out all fear (**1 John 4:18**). Bind Ahmed’s heart to his wife in a way that honors You, Lord. Let his eyes be only for her, his thoughts only for her, and his devotion only to her, as You intended from the beginning.
We also pray for this sister, Lord. Comfort her heart and fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (**Philippians 4:7**). Help her to trust in You completely, knowing that You are working all things together for good for those who love You (**Romans 8:28**). Give her the strength to love her husband with Your love, even in this difficult season.
Lord, we rebuke every scheme of the enemy that seeks to destroy this marriage. We declare that no weapon formed against this union will prosper (**Isaiah 54:17**), and we ask for Your divine protection over their hearts and minds. Restore what has been broken, Lord, and let Your glory be displayed in their lives.
We pray all of this in the powerful and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone has the authority to break every chain and set the captives free. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer and in His Word. Surround yourself with godly counsel and support, whether through your church or trusted believers who can walk with you through this trial. **Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 (WEB)** reminds us, *"Two are better than one... For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn’t have another to lift him up."* You do not have to carry this burden alone.
If Ahmed is unwilling to repent or seek restoration, we urge you to pray for his salvation and surrender to Christ above all else. A heart transformed by Jesus is the only foundation for a marriage that lasts. **Matthew 19:6 (WEB)** declares, *"So they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart."* Trust that God is able to do far more than we can ask or imagine (**Ephesians 3:20**), and He is faithful to complete the work He has begun in you both.
