We hear the deep urgency and passion in your cry for your husband’s soul, and we join you in lifting him before the Lord with fervent, faith-filled prayer. Your heart’s desire for his salvation, transformation, and a Christ-centered marriage aligns with God’s will, and we stand with you in declaring the power of Jesus’ name over every area of his life. The Scriptures assure us that *"the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven"* (James 5:15, WEB), and we claim this promise over your husband today.
Your request reveals a battle not just for his heart but for his eternal destiny, and we recognize the spiritual warfare at hand. The apostle Paul reminds us that *"our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places"* (Ephesians 6:12, WEB). Thus, we put on the full armor of God as we intercede, knowing that *"the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds"* (2 Corinthians 10:4, WEB).
We also note your repeated emphasis on breaking soul ties with his past, including his ex-wife and other women. This is wise and biblical, for God commands, *"Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and the two will become one flesh"* (Genesis 2:24, WEB). Any lingering emotional or spiritual connection to past relationships must be severed in Jesus’ name, for *"no man can serve two masters"* (Matthew 6:24, WEB). We pray for a complete cutting off of every ungodly tie, that your husband’s heart, mind, and body would be fully devoted to you as his wife, just as Christ is devoted to His Bride, the Church.
Your plea for your husband to encounter Jesus in dreams and visions is powerful, and we recall how God has worked this way throughout Scripture—from Jacob’s ladder to Paul’s conversion. The Lord still speaks in dreams and visions (Acts 2:17), and we ask Him to reveal Himself to your husband in an undeniable, life-altering way. May he, like the apostle Thomas, fall at Jesus’ feet and declare, *"My Lord and my God!"* (John 20:28, WEB).
We also address the areas of sin you’ve mentioned—false gods, lust, sexual immorality, anger, unforgiveness, and idolatry (including social media and workaholism). These are strongholds that the enemy uses to distract and destroy, but *"if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed"* (John 8:36, WEB). We declare freedom over your husband from every chain, that he would *"lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles"* (Hebrews 12:1, WEB) and run the race set before him with endurance.
Your desire for unity and love in your marriage is godly, for *"above all things, have intense love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins"* (1 Peter 4:8, WEB). However, we gently remind you that while you can pray and intercede, you cannot force your husband’s repentance or affection. True transformation comes from the Holy Spirit, not human effort. Your role is to *"love your husband... that the word of God may not be blasphemed"* (Titus 2:4-5, WEB) and to trust God to work in his heart. *"A man’s heart plans his course, but the Lord directs his steps"* (Proverbs 16:9, WEB).
We also encourage you to examine your own heart in this season. Are there areas where you may be trying to control or manipulate your husband through prayer declarations rather than surrendering him fully to the Lord? *"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths"* (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB). Your husband’s salvation and transformation are ultimately in God’s hands, and your peace must come from trusting His timing and sovereignty.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that You are the God who hears our cries and answers our prayers, the One who *"is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us"* (Ephesians 3:20, WEB). Today, we lift up this precious sister’s husband to You, and we ask for a mighty move of Your Spirit in his life.
Lord Jesus, You said, *"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with me"* (Revelation 3:20, WEB). We pray that You would knock on the door of this man’s heart with such power and conviction that he cannot ignore You. Break through every barrier of unbelief, religion, and hardness of heart. Lord, appear to him in dreams and visions—let him see You high and lifted up, let him feel the weight of Your glory, let him hear Your voice calling him to repentance. Give him an encounter so real, so undeniable, that he falls on his knees and surrenders his life to You.
Father, we bind and rebuke every false god, every Islamic spirit, every idol, and every lying doctrine that has held him captive. By the blood of Jesus, we break every curse, every generational stronghold, and every demonic assignment against his mind, will, and emotions. We declare that *"the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them"* (2 Corinthians 4:4, WEB)—but today, Lord, we ask You to open his eyes! Shine the light of Your truth into every dark place, and let him see Jesus as He truly is: the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
We pray for a spirit of repentance to fall upon him. Convict him of every sin—lust, anger, unforgiveness, idolatry, and every work of the flesh. Let him see the emptiness of his ways and the beauty of Your forgiveness. *"Create in him a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within him"* (Psalm 51:10, WEB). Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, that he may walk in holiness, love, and power.
Lord, we sever every ungodly soul tie between him and his ex-wife, and any other woman who is not his wife. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we break every emotional, spiritual, and physical connection that does not honor You or his marriage covenant. Restore what the enemy has stolen, and let his heart be wholly devoted to his wife, just as Christ is devoted to the Church. *"Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled"* (Hebrews 13:4, WEB). Purify his mind, his desires, and his affections, that he may love his wife as Christ loves the Church—sacrificially, passionately, and faithfully.
Father, we pray for unity and agreement between this husband and wife. Where there has been strife, bring peace. Where there has been distance, bring closeness. Where there has been coldness, bring fire. *"Let the husband render to his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife to her husband"* (1 Corinthians 7:3, WEB). Soften his heart toward her, and let him open up to her in every way—emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Remove every distraction, including social media and workaholism, that has taken his attention away from his wife and from You.
Lord, we ask that You would make this wife the total love of her husband’s life—more than any other woman, more than any past relationship, more than any fleeting pleasure. Let him cherish her, honor her, and pursue her with the same passion with which You pursue Your Bride. *"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for her"* (Ephesians 5:25, WEB). Teach him what it means to lay down his life for her, to lead her spiritually, and to nurture their marriage in a way that glorifies You.
Finally, Lord, we pray for protection over this marriage. Guard it against every scheme of the enemy. Let no weapon formed against it prosper. *"Unless the Lord builds the house, they who build it labor in vain"* (Psalm 127:1, WEB). Strengthen their bond, deepen their love, and let their relationship be a testimony of Your grace and power.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We trust that You are at work, even now, drawing this man to Yourself. We declare that *"he who began a good work in [him] will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ"* (Philippians 1:6, WEB). We wait in expectation, knowing that You are faithful and that Your will shall be done on earth as it is in heaven.
In the mighty, saving, and transformative name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Sister, we want to encourage you to keep standing in faith, but also to rest in the Lord’s sovereignty. Your husband’s salvation is not dependent on your declarations alone but on the moving of the Holy Spirit. Continue to pray, but also release the outcome to God. *"Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you"* (1 Peter 5:7, WEB).
We also urge you to examine your own heart and ensure that your motives are pure. Are you seeking your husband’s transformation out of love for him and for God’s glory, or out of a desire to control or fulfill your own needs? *"Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts. See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way"* (Psalm 139:23-24, WEB).
Lastly, we remind you that if your husband is not yet a believer, you are called to live in such a way that he may be *"won by the behavior of [your] lives"* (1 Peter 3:1-2, WEB). Let your faith, gentleness, and respect be a testimony to him. Trust that God is working, even when you cannot see it.
We are standing with you in this battle. Keep the faith, and may the Lord grant you peace as you wait on Him. *"The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him"* (Lamentations 3:25, WEB).
