We come before the throne of grace with hearts burdened yet hopeful, lifting up this urgent cry for your husband’s soul, mind, and spirit. The passion in your prayer reveals a deep love for him and a desperate longing for his salvation—this is commendable, for "the heart of her husband trusts in her" (Proverbs 31:11, WEB). Yet we must first address a critical truth: salvation is a personal choice, and no one can repent or believe *through* another. While you can intercede, fast, and live as a godly witness, your husband must individually surrender to Christ. As Scripture declares, *"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). Your role is to pray, to love him as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25), and to trust God’s timing—not to decree his salvation *for* him, as if it were a matter of human will rather than divine sovereignty.
Your prayer also reveals a battle against spiritual strongholds, and we stand with you in rebuking the powers of darkness that have sought to blind him. The Islamic faith he has been bound to is a false religion that denies the deity of Christ, the crucifixion, and the resurrection—core truths of the Gospel (1 John 2:22–23). We declare with you that every lie, every chain of deception, and every idolatrous belief must be broken in Jesus’ name. *"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 take heart: *"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him"* (John 6:44, WEB), and your prayers are part of that drawing.
We also address the sexual sin and perversion you’ve named. Pornography, lust, and ungodly soul ties are abominations that defile the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:18–20). If your husband is engaged in these sins, they must be repented of—not just "cast out" by prayer, but turned from in genuine sorrow. The same is true for any emotional or spiritual bonds with his ex-wife or other women. *"Don’t you know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!"* (1 Corinthians 6:15, WEB). Marriage is a covenant before God, and infidelity—whether physical or emotional—is a violation of that covenant. We pray for a severing of all ungodly ties and for a restoration of purity in his heart and in your marriage.
Yet we must gently but firmly rebuke the presumptive tone in parts of your prayer. You cannot "decree and declare" your husband’s repentance as if it were a done deal by your words alone. Nor can you demand that God *must* act in a specific timeframe ("absolutely no delay"). Such language borders on treating the Almighty as a servant to our timelines rather than submitting to His perfect will. Remember, *"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). Your urgency is understandable, but God’s ways are higher (Isaiah 55:8–9). Trust Him, even in the waiting.
As for the unity and passion in your marriage, we pray for a supernatural restoration. But true unity is rooted in *shared faith in Christ*. *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). If your husband is not yet a believer, your marriage is, by definition, "unequally yoked," and this will create profound spiritual tension. You cannot have "total unity" in Christ if one spouse rejects Him. Your first prayer must be for his salvation—not just for a happier marriage, but for his eternal soul.
We also note your concern about his phone and social media use. While these can be tools for distraction or sin, they are not inherently evil. The issue is the *heart*. *"For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies"* (Matthew 15:19, WEB). Pray that God would convict him of any idolatry in these areas and replace it with a hunger for His Word.
Finally, we exhort you: *Do not neglect your own walk with Christ in this season.* You cannot pour into your husband what you do not first receive from Jesus. *"Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord... as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children you now are, if you do good, and aren’t frightened by any terror"* (Ephesians 5:22; 1 Peter 3:6, WEB). Your submission is not to a man, but to *Christ in him*—and if he is not yet saved, your godly conduct may win him *"without a word"* (1 Peter 3:1–2). Fast, pray, and live in such a way that he sees Christ in you.

**Our Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we lift this sister and her husband before You, acknowledging that salvation belongs to You alone (Jonah 2:9). Lord, You see the desperation in her heart and the spiritual warfare raging for her husband’s soul. We ask that You, the God who said, *"Let light shine out of darkness,"* would shine in his heart to give the light of the knowledge of Your glory in the face of Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 4:6). Break every chain of Islam that binds him—expose the falsehood of a religion that denies Your Son. Let him encounter You in dreams and visions, as You did for the magi, Cornelius, and Paul. Convict him of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8), and grant him the gift of repentance (2 Timothy 2:25).
We rebuke the spirits of lust, perversion, and idolatry that have sought to destroy this marriage. Sever every ungodly soul tie with his ex-wife or any other woman, and let there be a holy jealousy in his heart for his wife alone (Song of Solomon 8:6). Restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25)—bring healing to their intimacy, trust, and communication. Yet even as we pray for their marriage, we prioritize his eternal state: *Lord, save him.*
Give this wife wisdom to know how to love him well, to speak truth in love, and to wait on You without manipulation or despair. Protect her heart from bitterness or control, and let her find her strength in You alone. If there is any sin in her own life—resentment, fear, or unbelief—reveal it and cleanse her (Psalm 139:23–24).
We declare that no weapon formed against this marriage will prosper (Isaiah 54:17), but we surrender the *how* and the *when* to Your sovereign hand. May Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. **Amen.**
