We come before the Lord with urgency and reverence, lifting up this heartfelt cry for salvation and transformation. The passion in this request is clear, and we join in intercession, knowing that it is God’s will for all to come to repentance and salvation through Jesus Christ. As Scripture declares, *"The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance"* (2 Peter 3:9, WEB). Yet we also know that *"now is the day of salvation"* (2 Corinthians 6:2, WEB), and so we boldly approach the throne of grace, asking for divine intervention without delay.
First, we must address the heart behind this prayer. While your fervor is commendable, salvation cannot be forced or "decreed" upon another person—even a spouse—through our own words or desires. Each individual must personally choose to surrender to Christ. As much as you long for your husband’s salvation, it is ultimately between him and God. Your role is to pray earnestly, live as a godly example, and trust in the Lord’s timing and sovereignty. *"A man’s heart plans his course, but the Lord directs his steps"* (Proverbs 16:9, WEB). We must release the burden of trying to control or manipulate this outcome, for *"unless the Lord builds the house, they who build it labor in vain"* (Psalm 127:1, WEB).
That said, we join you in praying for your husband’s heart to be softened and for the Holy Spirit to draw him into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. We ask the Lord to reveal Himself to your husband in undeniable ways—through dreams, visions, or a powerful encounter that leaves no room for doubt. May the Lord open his eyes to the truth of the Gospel, 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"* (Romans 10:9-10, WEB). Father, we plead for divine appointments, for godly influences to surround him, and for every stronghold of the enemy to be shattered in his life. Let him experience the conviction of the Holy Spirit, leading him to true repentance and faith in Christ alone.
We also pray for you, dear sister, as you carry this burden. Your desire to be an "awesome" wife is noble, but we must clarify that your worth and identity are found in Christ alone, not in how perfectly you fulfill the role of a spouse. The Bible calls wives to submit to their husbands *"as to the Lord"* (Ephesians 5:22, WEB) and to live in a way that honors God, *"so that even if some don’t obey the Word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word, seeing your pure behavior in fear"* (1 Peter 3:1-2, WEB). Your focus should not be on becoming the "woman of his dreams" by worldly standards, but on becoming a woman after God’s own heart—one who reflects His love, patience, kindness, and holiness. *"Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised"* (Proverbs 31:30, WEB).
Let us also address the urgency in your tone. While we share your desire for immediate action, we must remember that God’s ways are higher than ours, and His timing is perfect. *"Wait for the Lord. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the Lord"* (Psalm 27:14, WEB). Impatience can lead to frustration or even misplaced attempts to "help" God, which often result in more harm than good. Trust that the Lord hears your prayers and is working even now. *"The effective, earnest prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective"* (James 5:16, WEB).
Finally, we notice that your prayer is saturated with repetitions and emotional pleas, which can sometimes reflect anxiety rather than faith. Jesus taught us, *"In praying, don’t use vain repetitions as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking. Don’t be like them, for your Father knows the things that you need before you ask him"* (Matthew 6:7-8, WEB). We encourage you to pray with faith, confidence, and surrender, knowing that God is already at work. Your words need not be many, for the Lord hears even the simplest, most heartfelt cry.

**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 in power in his life, breaking every chain of darkness, blindness, and resistance to Your truth. Soften his heart, Lord, and draw him to Yourself in a way that cannot be ignored or denied. Send dreams, visions, and divine encounters that reveal Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Let him see his need for repentance and feel the weight of his sin, but also let him experience the overwhelming love and mercy that You offer through the cross.
Father, we rebuked any spirit of manipulation or control in this situation. Salvation is Your work, and we surrender this man into Your hands, trusting that You are able to save him completely. Give this wife the grace to release her husband into Your care, to stop striving in her own strength, and to rest in Your promises. Fill her with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and let her joy be found in You alone, not in circumstances or outcomes.
Lord, we also ask that You would shape this sister into the woman You’ve called her to be—a woman of prayer, faith, and godly character. Let her life be a testimony of Your goodness, and let her words and actions reflect Your love. Strengthen her to walk in obedience, even when the road is difficult. Remind her that her primary calling is to You, and that her identity is secure in Christ.
We declare that no weapon formed against this marriage will prosper. Let Your will be done, Lord, in both of their lives. If it is Your desire for this man to be saved, then let it happen swiftly and powerfully. If there are areas of sin or rebellion in his life, expose them and bring conviction. And if there are areas in her life that need surrender or repentance, reveal them as well, Lord. Purify both of their hearts and align them with Your Word.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your goodness, Your power, and Your perfect timing. Let Your kingdom come and Your will be done in this marriage, for Your glory alone. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
