We hear the urgency and deep longing in your heart for your husband’s salvation, his complete devotion to you, and the restoration of your marriage. Your passion for God’s intervention is clear, and we join you in lifting this before the Lord, for we know that nothing is impossible with Him.
First, we rejoice that you are calling upon the name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. As Scripture declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). Your faith in invoking the name of Jesus is foundational, and we stand with you in this.
Your desire for your husband’s salvation is godly and pleasing to the Lord. The apostle Peter reminds us, *"The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance"* (2 Peter 3:9, WEB). We pray that the Lord would soften your husband’s heart, open his eyes to the truth of the Gospel, and draw him into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. May the Holy Spirit convict him of sin, righteousness, and judgment, leading him to repentance and faith. We ask that the Lord would indeed appear to him in dreams or visions if it aligns with His will, just as He did with Cornelius (Acts 10:3) or Paul (Acts 9:5-6). May your husband be born again, not by your might or power, but by the Spirit of the Lord.
We also recognize the pain and jealousy in your request regarding your husband’s past relationships, particularly with his ex-wife. Your cry for the severing of soul ties and for his complete devotion to you alone reflects the deep wounds and insecurities you carry. While we understand your heart, we must gently remind you that our trust must first and foremost be in the Lord, not in the affections or loyalty of another person. Jesus warns us, *"But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart"* (Matthew 5:28, WEB). If your husband has been unfaithful in thought, word, or deed, this is a grievous sin before God, and repentance is necessary. However, we must also guard our own hearts against bitterness, jealousy, or controlling behaviors, for these can become strongholds that hinder our relationship with the Lord and our spouse.
Scripture teaches us, *"Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. Love never fails"* (1 Corinthians 13:4-8, WEB). True love—godly love—is not possessive or demanding but is rooted in selflessness and trust in God’s sovereignty. We encourage you to surrender your fears and insecurities to the Lord, asking Him to fill you with His perfect love, which casts out all fear (1 John 4:18).
As for the soul ties you mentioned, we agree that ungodly connections from past relationships can be spiritually damaging. The Bible instructs us, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). If your husband has unrepentant sin or lingering emotional or spiritual ties to his past, these must be broken through repentance and the power of Christ. We pray that the Lord would expose and sever any ungodly bonds in your husband’s life, setting him free to love and honor you as his wife in a way that pleases God. May he be wholly devoted to you and to the Lord, with no divided loyalties.
Yet, we must also remind you that while we can pray for our spouse’s devotion, we cannot control or manipulate their heart. Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* Your marriage must be built on trust in God, not on fear or the need to control. If there are areas of sin in your husband’s life, pray for his repentance, but also examine your own heart. Are there ways you may be contributing to the strife in your marriage? Are there areas where you need to extend grace, forgiveness, or unconditional love? Marriage is a covenant, and both spouses are called to reflect Christ’s love for the Church (Ephesians 5:22-33).
We also sense a deep desire for emotional and physical intimacy in your marriage. This is a beautiful and godly desire, for the marriage bed is to be undefiled (Hebrews 13:4). However, true intimacy begins with spiritual oneness. We pray that the Lord would restore and deepen the spiritual connection between you and your husband, that you would both seek Him first and allow Him to knit your hearts together. May your love for one another grow in purity, passion, and commitment, reflecting the love of Christ for His Bride.
Finally, we pray for protection over your marriage. The enemy seeks to destroy what God has joined together, but we declare that no weapon formed against your union will prosper (Isaiah 54:17). May the Lord surround your marriage with His hedge of protection, guarding it against infidelity, division, and every scheme of the devil. May He fill your home with peace, joy, and mutual respect, and may your marriage be a testimony of His grace and redemption.

**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister and her husband to Your throne of grace. Lord, You alone are the God who saves, and we ask that You would pursue our brother with Your relentless love. Open his eyes to see the truth of the Gospel, convict his heart of sin, and draw him into repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. May he be born again, Lord, and become a new creation in You. If it is Your will, reveal Yourself to him in dreams or visions, just as You did in Scripture, that he may know beyond a doubt that You are Lord.
Father, we ask that You would sever any ungodly soul ties in his life—whether with his ex-wife or any other person—that are not pleasing to You. Break every chain of sin, every stronghold of the enemy, and set him free to love and honor his wife as You have commanded. Lord, we also ask that You would heal our sister’s heart from jealousy, fear, and insecurity. Fill her with Your perfect love, which casts out all fear, and help her to trust You completely with her marriage.
Restorers of the breaches, we pray that You would restore and strengthen the bond between this husband and wife. May their love for one another grow deeper, purer, and more passionate each day, rooted in You. Protect their marriage from the schemes of the enemy, and let their union be a reflection of Christ and the Church. Give them wisdom, patience, and grace as they walk this journey together.
Lord, we declare that You are the God who redeems and restores. May this marriage flourish and blossom in every way, bringing glory to Your name. We ask all these things in the powerful and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
