We hear the deep longing and urgency in your heart for your husband and your marriage, and we join you in lifting this before the Lord. Your passion for your husband’s soul and your marriage is evident, and we commend you for seeking God’s will in this. However, we must address a few things with biblical truth and clarity before we pray.
First, we notice that you are attempting to speak *for* your husband—declaring his salvation, his repentance, and his desires as if they are already accomplished through your words alone. While your love for him is clear, salvation is a personal choice that each individual must make before God. No one can be saved *through* another person, no matter how deeply we pray or decree. The apostle Paul reminds us in Romans 10:9-10, *"that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."* Your husband must come to Christ on his own, by the conviction of the Holy Spirit, not through your declarations alone.
Additionally, marriage is a covenant before God, and while we are to pray fervently for our spouses, we cannot *force* the heart of another—even in prayer. Proverbs 19:14 tells us, *"House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from Yahweh."* Your role is to be a godly wife, to love, respect, and pray for your husband, but you cannot control his will or his relationship with God. That is between him and the Lord.
We also sense a level of desperation in your words that borders on idolatry—placing your husband’s affection, dreams, and devotion to you above the worship and surrender that belongs to God alone. Matthew 10:37 says, *"He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn’t worthy of me."* While marriage is sacred, our first love must always be Christ. If your husband’s heart is not yet fully surrendered to Jesus, no amount of human love or declaration can replace the work of the Holy Spirit in his life.
Now, let us pray together for you and your husband, asking God to move in ways that align with His perfect will.

**Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this sister and her marriage. Lord, we ask that You would first minister to *her* heart—calm her fears, ease her desperation, and fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Remind her that You are sovereign over her husband’s heart, and that no amount of human effort or declaration can replace Your divine work in his life.
Father, we pray for this husband. Soften his heart toward You, Lord. Draw him to Yourself in a way that only You can. Convict him of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and lead him to true repentance. May he come to know Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior *not through his wife’s words alone*, but through the powerful working of Your Holy Spirit. We ask that You would break any strongholds of hardness, distraction, or rebellion in his heart and replace them with a hunger for You.
Lord, we pray for restoration in this marriage. Heal any brokenness, rebuild trust, and renew love between them. Help this wife to trust You fully, to release control, and to rest in Your promises. Teach her to love her husband as You have called her to—with patience, kindness, and respect (Ephesians 5:33). Remove any idolatry from her heart, that she may seek You first above all else, including her desire for her husband’s affection.
We rebuke any attacks of the enemy against this marriage. No weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we ask that You would surround them with Your protection and peace. May their home be a place where Your presence dwells, where Your Word is honored, and where both husband and wife seek to glorify You in all things.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would prepare this husband’s heart to lead his family spiritually. Raise him up as a man after Your own heart, one who loves You first and then loves his wife as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25). Give this wife the strength to submit to Your will, even when it’s difficult, and to trust You with the outcome.
We pray all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone has the power to save, transform, and restore. Amen.

Sister, we encourage you to continue praying for your husband, but do so with a heart surrendered to God’s timing and will. Avoid trying to "decree" his salvation or emotions into existence—instead, ask the Lord to work in his heart and trust that He hears you. Spend time in God’s Word, seeking His face for *your own* walk with Him. A marriage is strongest when both individuals are fully devoted to Christ.
If your husband is not yet a believer, we urge you to live out your faith in a way that draws him to Jesus. 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 godly example, prayer, and trust in the Lord are powerful tools in the hands of God.
Stand firm in faith, but release the burden of trying to control what only God can do. He is faithful, and He hears your cries.
