We come before the throne of grace with urgency and deep compassion for your marriage, lifting up your heartfelt cries to the Lord, who is mighty to save and transform. Your passion for your husband’s salvation and the restoration of your marriage is evident, and we stand with you in intercession, knowing that nothing is impossible with God.
First, we rejoice that you have invoked the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and by which we are saved. 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 calling upon the name of Jesus is the foundation of this prayer, and we join you in proclaiming His power over every area of your husband’s life.
We also recognize the spiritual battle you are describing—one that involves false gods, idols, and strongholds that have taken root in your husband’s life. The Word of God is clear that we are not fighting against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers of darkness (Ephesians 6:12). Your prayer aligns with the authority given to believers to tear down every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God (2 Corinthians 10:4-5). We stand with you in binding and breaking every ungodly influence in your husband’s life, including the chains of Islam, which denies the deity and lordship of Jesus Christ. *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me'"* (John 14:6, WEB). There is no other name or path to salvation, and we pray that your husband will encounter the living Christ in a way that leaves no room for doubt or division in his heart.
Your prayer also reveals deep concerns about your husband’s past relationships, particularly with his ex-wife, as well as the potential for emotional or spiritual ties that may still bind him. Scripture warns us that *"a man who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery"* (Luke 16:18, WEB), but we also know that God is a God of redemption and restoration. If your husband has been remarried to you in a way that aligns with biblical principles, we pray for the complete severing of any ungodly soul ties that may linger from his past. However, if there are unresolved issues regarding the biblical validity of your marriage—such as if his previous marriage was not biblically dissolved—we urge you to seek godly counsel to ensure your union is honoring to the Lord. Marriage is a covenant before God, and He desires for it to be entered into and maintained in holiness (Hebrews 13:4).
We also address the issues of lust, sexual sin, and pornography that you’ve mentioned. These are grievous sins that defile the heart and the marriage bed. *"Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s"* (1 Corinthians 6:18-20, WEB). We pray for a radical deliverance from these sins in your husband’s life, that his mind and heart would be renewed by the Holy Spirit, and that he would turn away from every impurity to pursue holiness.
Your desire for your husband to have eyes only for you is a godly one, reflecting the exclusivity and intimacy that marriage is meant to have. *"Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh"* (Genesis 2:24, WEB). However, we must gently remind you that while it is right to pray for your husband’s devotion, his ultimate devotion must be to the Lord. A marriage thrives when both spouses are fully surrendered to Christ, for it is only in Him that we find the strength to love unconditionally and selflessly. *"Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body. But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly and gave himself up for it"* (Ephesians 5:22-25, WEB). We pray that your husband would lead your home in godliness and that you would both grow in your submission to Christ and to one another in love.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with a heart of desperation and faith, lifting up this sister and her husband to Your throne of grace. Lord, You are the God who sees, who knows, and who acts on behalf of Your children. We ask that You would move mightily in the life of this husband, breaking every chain of darkness that has held him captive. Lord Jesus, reveal Yourself to him in dreams, visions, and undeniable encounters that leave no room for doubt. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, convicting him of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8). Let him see the emptiness of false gods and the futility of any belief system that does not exalt You as Lord and Savior.
Father, we pray for the complete destruction of every ungodly soul tie, especially those connected to his past relationships. Sever every emotional, spiritual, and physical bond that is not of You. Let his heart be wholly devoted to You first and to his wife as You intended. Break the power of lust, pornography, and sexual sin in his life. Cleanse his mind and heart, and replace every impure thought with the purity and holiness that comes from Your presence.
Lord, we pray for a supernatural softening of his heart—melt every area of hardness, selfishness, and unbelief. Replace fear with faith, anger with love, and anxiety with Your perfect peace. Deliver him from the distractions of this world, including the excessive use of mobile phones and social media, that he may fix his eyes on You and on the wife You have given him.
We declare that this marriage is under Your lordship, Jesus. Restore what has been broken, heal what has been wounded, and unite this husband and wife in a bond that reflects Your love for Your Bride, the Church. Let their marriage be a testimony of Your redeeming power and grace.
Father, we also pray for this sister who is interceding so fervently. Strengthen her faith, guard her heart, and fill her with Your peace as she waits on You. Let her trust in Your timing and Your ways, knowing that You are working all things together for good (Romans 8:28).
We rebuke every scheme of the enemy against this marriage. No weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We declare that their home will be a place of godly love, unity, and worship. May they both grow in their relationship with You, Jesus, and may their marriage be a light that points others to Your saving grace.
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
