We come before the Lord with hearts full of fervency and faith, lifting up this urgent cry for your husband’s salvation and the restoration of your marriage. Your passion for his soul and your union is evident, and we join you in interceding for God’s mighty work in his life. We also address the deep longings of your heart for love, unity, and fulfillment in your marriage, but we must first anchor everything in the truth of Scripture and the will of God.
First, we rejoice that you have invoked the name of Jesus Christ in your request, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and the power to see transformation. 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 Jesus is the foundation of this prayer, and we stand with you in this truth.
We also recognize the urgency in your heart for your husband’s salvation. The Word of God tells us that *"the Lord ... is patient with you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance"* (2 Peter 3:9, WEB). Your desire for him to encounter Jesus is godly, and we pray that the Holy Spirit would move powerfully in his life, drawing him to the Savior. We decree that every stronghold of darkness in his heart and mind be broken, and that the Lord would appear to him in dreams, visions, and undeniable ways, just as He did for Saul on the road to Damascus (Acts 9). May your husband, like the apostle Paul, be radically transformed by the love and truth of Christ, surrendering his life to Him without delay.
We also lift up your marriage, which is a covenant established by God. The Lord hates divorce (Malachi 2:16), and His desire is for marriages to reflect His love and faithfulness. However, we must address the areas of your request that seem to focus heavily on emotional and physical fulfillment as the ultimate goal. While it is natural to desire love, unity, and affection in marriage, we must remember that our greatest joy and satisfaction are found in Christ alone. Jesus said, *"Apart from me, you can do nothing"* (John 15:5, WEB), and this includes finding true fulfillment in marriage. We pray that both you and your husband would seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, trusting that *"all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33, WEB).
Your request also mentions the severing of soul ties with your husband’s ex-wife and other women. We agree in prayer that any ungodly connections or influences from past relationships be broken in the name of Jesus. The Word says, *"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). We declare that your husband’s heart, mind, and body would be fully devoted to you alone, as God intended. Any lingering emotional or spiritual ties to his past must be severed by the power of the Holy Spirit, and we pray for complete deliverance and freedom in this area.
However, we must also address the intensity of your focus on physical attraction, passion, and emotional fulfillment. While these are gifts from God within marriage, they must never become idols or the primary pursuit. The apostle Paul warns, *"Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry"* (Colossians 3:5, WEB). We encourage you to seek the Lord for a balanced and holy perspective on intimacy, ensuring that your desires align with His will and do not become demands that place undue pressure on your husband or your marriage.
We also notice the repetitive emphasis on your husband’s affection and attention being solely directed toward you. While it is right to desire a faithful and loving spouse, we must remember that marriage is not about possession or control but about mutual submission to Christ and one another. Ephesians 5:21-33 outlines the biblical model for marriage, where husbands are called to love their wives as Christ loved the church, and wives are called to respect and submit to their husbands as unto the Lord. We pray that both of you would grow in this godly love, which is patient, kind, and not self-seeking (1 Corinthians 13:4-7).
Finally, we sense a deep longing in your heart for validation and security. We gently remind you that your worth and identity are found in Christ alone. You are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and your value is not determined by your husband’s affection or attention but by the love of your Heavenly Father. We pray that the Lord would fill you with His peace and joy, so that you are not anxious or overly dependent on your husband for fulfillment. *"Don’t be anxious for anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:6-7, WEB).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this sister and her husband to Your throne of grace. Lord, we ask that You would move powerfully in her husband’s life, drawing him to Yourself with an undeniable encounter with Jesus. Open his eyes to see the truth of the Gospel, soften his heart to receive Your love, and fill him with Your Holy Spirit. Let him dream dreams and see visions of Your glory, so that he may turn to You in repentance and faith. May he confess with his mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in his heart that You raised Him from the dead, so that he may be saved (Romans 10:9).
Lord, we also lift up this marriage to You. Heal any brokenness, restore any trust that has been lost, and sever every ungodly soul tie that has bound her husband to his past. Let him be fully devoted to his wife, just as You have commanded. Break any chains of lust, idolatry, or distraction that would hinder Your work in their lives. Fill their home with Your peace, unity, and love, so that their marriage may be a testimony of Your goodness and faithfulness.
Father, we ask that You would also minister to this sister’s heart. Fill her with Your love and assurance, so that she may rest in Your promises and not be consumed by fear or insecurity. Help her to trust You fully, knowing that You are working all things together for her good (Romans 8:28). Give her wisdom to love her husband in a way that honors You, and grant her the patience to wait on Your timing.
We rebuke any spirit of control, manipulation, or idolatry that would seek to distort the godly desires of this marriage. Let Your will be done in their lives, and let Your kingdom come in their home. Protect them from the enemy’s schemes, and surround them with Your angels, so that they may walk in victory and freedom.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for Your faithfulness to complete the work You have begun in them. May Your name be glorified in their lives, and may their marriage be a reflection of Your covenant love.
In the powerful and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
