We come before the Lord with a heavy heart, lifting up this urgent plea for your marriage and the salvation of your husband. First and foremost, we must address the foundation of our prayers—faith in Jesus Christ. It is written, *"For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5). There is no other name by which we can be saved, and it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Him, we urge you to confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection, and invite Him to be Lord of your life. *"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"* (Romans 10:9).
Now, regarding your marriage, we affirm the sanctity of this covenant as God designed it—a lifelong union between one man and one woman. *"Therefore what God has joined together, let no man separate"* (Mark 10:9). We see your deep longing for unity, love, and protection over your marriage, and we stand with you in prayer. However, we must also address areas where the request does not fully align with Scripture.
The language of "melting" another person’s heart or forcing their will to conform to yours is not biblical. God has given each person free will, and while we can pray for transformation, we cannot manipulate or control another’s heart. Instead, we pray that your husband would willingly turn to Christ, not because of your efforts, but because the Holy Spirit draws him. *"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him"* (John 6:44). We also rebuke any ungodly soul ties or emotional dependencies that may exist between your husband and his ex-wife or other women. These ties must be broken in Jesus’ name, for *"do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers"* (2 Corinthians 6:14).
Sexual purity is another critical area. If there has been any sexual immorality—whether adultery, fornication, or emotional infidelity—it must be repented of and forsaken. *"Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers"* (Hebrews 13:4). We pray for complete healing and restoration in this area, that your marriage bed would be pure and holy before the Lord.
We also lift up your desire for deeper love and unity. While it is right to pray for these things, we must remember that true love is not just an emotion but a choice—a commitment to honor, respect, and cherish one another as Christ loves the Church. *"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave himself up for her"* (Ephesians 5:25). We pray that your husband would step into his God-given role as the spiritual leader of your home, and that you would both grow in Christlikeness together.
Now, let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this marriage and this precious sister in Christ. Lord, we ask that You would draw her husband to Yourself. Soften his heart, open his eyes to the truth of the Gospel, and convict him of sin by Your Holy Spirit. Let him see Jesus in dreams and visions, and may he surrender his life fully to You. We break every ungodly soul tie in Jesus’ name—every connection to past relationships, every emotional entanglement, and every spiritual bond that does not align with Your will. We declare that this marriage is covered by the blood of Jesus, protected from every attack of the enemy, and established in Your peace.
Father, we pray for divine unity between this husband and wife. Let their love grow deeper, their trust stronger, and their commitment unshakable. Heal every wound, restore every broken place, and fill their home with Your presence. May they seek You together, serve You together, and reflect Your love to the world. We ask for protection over their marriage—no weapon formed against it shall prosper. Strengthen them in faith, in love, and in purpose.
Lord, we also pray for this sister’s heart. Guard her from fear, insecurity, or control. Fill her with Your peace, Your wisdom, and Your strength. Help her to trust in Your timing and Your perfect plan. May she be a godly wife, a woman of prayer, and a reflection of Your grace.
We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer, studying His Word, and surrounding yourself with godly counsel. If there are areas of sin or unforgiveness in your marriage, address them with humility and repentance. Trust God to work all things together for your good, for *"He who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ"* (Philippians 1:6). Stand firm in faith, and watch how God moves.
