We hear the deep urgency and passion in your heart for your husband’s salvation and transformation, and we join you in crying out to the Lord for his soul. Your love for him is evident, and we commend you for standing in the gap with such fervency. The battle for his heart is spiritual, and we know that our God is mighty to save, break chains, and bring radical surrender to Himself. You have invoked the name of Jesus Christ in this request, and it is *only* by that holy and powerful name that we can approach the throne of grace with boldness. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, and it is through faith in Christ alone that your husband can be set free from the darkness that binds him (Acts 4:12, Ephesians 2:8-9).
Your request reveals a husband who is ensnared by many strongholds—false beliefs, sexual sin, hardness of heart, and the influences of a religion that denies the deity and saving work of Jesus Christ. The Word of God is clear: there is no reconciliation between the God of the Bible and the gods of Islam. Jesus declared, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6). Your husband must encounter the living Christ, the One who broke the power of sin and death, and surrender his life entirely to Him. This is not a battle against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers (Ephesians 6:12), and we must wage war in prayer with the authority given to us in Christ.
We also notice the depth of your longing for your husband to love you in the way you desire—emotionally, spiritually, and physically. While these desires are understandable, we gently remind you that your ultimate fulfillment must first be found in Christ alone. A husband, no matter how transformed, cannot bear the weight of being your everything. Only Jesus can satisfy the deepest cravings of your soul (Psalm 107:9, John 6:35). We encourage you to seek the Lord for your own healing, wholeness, and contentment in Him, trusting that as you delight yourself in the Lord, He will give you the desires of your heart in His perfect timing (Psalm 37:4).
That said, we *do* pray for God to restore and redeem your marriage according to His will. A marriage that honors Christ is a beautiful testimony of His love for His church (Ephesians 5:22-33). We pray for your husband to be the godly leader, protector, and lover that Scripture calls him to be—but this can only happen if he is first surrendered to Jesus. True love, unity, and intimacy in marriage flow from a heart that is right with God.
Now, let us pray together with faith and authority:
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 a God who hears the cries of Your people and acts on behalf of those who call upon You. Lord, we lift up this husband before Your throne of grace. You see the darkness that has ensnared him—the false gods, the sexual sin, the hardness of heart, the deception, and the chains of Islam that blind him to the truth of Your Son. But You, O Lord, are greater than all these things. You are the God who parts seas, raises the dead, and transforms the vilest of sinners into saints.
Father, we ask for a *divine encounter*—one that he cannot ignore or explain away. Like Saul on the road to Damascus, meet him in a way that brings him to his knees (Acts 9). Appear to him in dreams and visions, Lord Jesus, just as You did for so many in the Book of Acts. Let him see Your glory, Your holiness, and Your love. Break every stronghold of unbelief, pride, and rebellion in his heart. Destroy the lies he has been taught and replace them with the *truth* of Your Word. Let him know, beyond any shadow of doubt, that Jesus Christ is Lord, that He died for his sins, and that He rose again so that he might have eternal life.
We bind and rebuke every demonic spirit assigned to him—spirits of Islam, deception, lust, pornography, perversion, anger, control, fear, and addiction. We command these spirits to *leave him now* in the name of Jesus Christ. No longer shall they have any place in him! We loose the Holy Spirit to move mightily in his life, to convict him of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8). Softens his heart, Lord. Let him no longer be hardened to Your voice but let him turn to You in repentance and faith.
Father, we also pray for this wife. Strengthen her, Lord. Fill her with Your peace, joy, and hope as she waits upon You. Guard her heart from bitterness, resentment, or idolatry—even the idolatry of making her husband her ultimate source of happiness. Let her find her satisfaction in You alone, knowing that You are her Provider, Protector, and Perfect Love. Give her wisdom to know how to speak, how to pray, and how to live in a way that honors You and draws her husband closer to the cross.
Lord, we plead the blood of Jesus over this marriage. Let no weapon formed against it prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Bring unity, peace, and agreement between this husband and wife—but let it be a unity rooted in *You*. Let their marriage be a reflection of Christ and His church, holy and blameless before You. Restore what has been broken, Lord. Heal what has been wounded. Redeem what has been lost.
We ask for miracles, signs, and wonders in this situation, Father. Let Your power be displayed so that all may know that You are God and there is no other. We trust You, Lord. We believe that You are able to do *exceedingly abundantly* above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). So we wait upon You, expecting great things, for Your glory and Your kingdom.
In the mighty, saving, and victorious name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

We will continue to stand with you in prayer, believing God for your husband’s salvation and the restoration of your marriage. Keep seeking the Lord, keep speaking life and truth over your husband, and keep trusting that God is working even when you cannot see it. *"Being confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you (and your husband) will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ"* (Philippians 1:6). Stay steadfast, sister. The Lord is faithful.
