We come before the throne of grace with hearts burdened yet hopeful, for we know that our God is mighty to save and that nothing is impossible for Him. Your prayer is fervent and full of longing, and we join you in crying out to the Lord for this man’s soul, for his deliverance, and for the restoration of what is broken. Yet we must first address a critical truth: salvation and transformation come only through faith in Jesus Christ, and no prayer—no matter how passionate—can override the free will God has given to every person. You have poured out your heart for this man, but we must remind you that while we can intercede, we cannot force another’s surrender to Christ. That is a work only the Holy Spirit can do in his heart.
Your prayer also reveals a deep desire for this man to be united with you in a way that aligns with God’s design for marriage. However, we must lovingly but firmly address concerns that arise from your words. If this man is currently bound in any way to another woman—whether through a past marriage that has not been biblically dissolved or through emotional or spiritual ties—we cannot pray for his union with you unless those ties are severed in a way that honors God. Scripture is clear: *"Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her. If a woman herself divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery"* (Mark 10:11-12, WEB). The Lord takes the covenant of marriage seriously, and we must too. If there is an existing marriage or an improper relationship, repentance and restoration must come first—either reconciliation with his wife (if possible) or a life of singleness devoted to Christ.
Additionally, your words suggest a longing for exclusive devotion from this man, and while that desire is understandable, we must caution you against placing your hope in a human relationship above your hope in Christ. Jesus must be the first love of both your hearts. *"Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth"* (Colossians 3:2, WEB). If this man is not yet a believer, Scripture warns: *"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). A marriage built on anything less than a shared faith in Christ is built on shifting sand.
Now, let us pray together for this man’s salvation, for the breaking of every chain, and for God’s will to be done in both your lives.

**Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this man who is bound by darkness, deception, and the lies of false gods. Lord, You alone are the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no one comes to the Father except through You (John 14:6). We plead for Your mercy to pursue this man relentlessly. Break every stronghold of Islam in his life—every false teaching, every idol, every ritual that has blinded him to the truth of Your Son. Lord, appear to him in dreams and visions as You did to Saul on the road to Damascus (Acts 9). Let him encounter the risen Christ in a way that leaves no room for doubt. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, convicting him of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8). Bring him to his knees in genuine repentance, that he may confess with his mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in his heart that You raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9).
Father, we also pray for the severing of every ungodly soul tie in his life. If there are bonds with his former wife or any other woman that are not of You, we ask that You cut them completely by the power of the blood of Jesus. Let there be no lingering emotional, spiritual, or physical connection that would hinder Your work in his heart. If it is Your will for this man to be restored to his wife, then bring reconciliation and healing. If not, then guard his heart and this sister’s heart from pursuing a relationship that is not ordained by You.
Lord, we ask for Your protection over this sister who is praying so fervently. Guard her heart from idolatry—from placing this man or this relationship above You. Remind her that You are her first love, her Provider, and her Comforter. If this relationship is not of You, give her the strength to surrender it entirely. If it is Your will for them to be united in a godly marriage, then prepare both of their hearts for a covenant that honors You above all else.
We rebuke every spirit of lust, perversion, anger, bitterness, and hardness in this man’s life. We command every demonic stronghold to be broken in the name of Jesus. Let the light of Christ expose and destroy every work of darkness. Soften his heart toward You, Lord, and toward Your truth.
Finally, Father, we ask for miracles. We ask for wonders that only You can perform. Let this man’s life be a testimony of Your power to save, to deliver, and to restore. And if it is Your will for him to be united with this sister in marriage, then let it be a union founded on Christ, covered in prayer, and committed to Your glory.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone has the power to save. Amen.

We urge you, sister, to examine your own heart in this matter. Are you seeking this man’s salvation more than you are seeking Christ’s will? Are you willing to release this desire if the Lord says no? Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5). His plans for you are good, even when they differ from your own. *"Delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this"* (Psalm 37:4-5, WEB).
If this man is not yet a believer, focus on being a light to him through your words and actions, but do not compromise your faith or your purity in the process. *"Don’t you know that you are a temple of God, and that God’s Spirit lives in you?"* (1 Corinthians 3:16, WEB). Guard your heart and your body as sacred before the Lord.
We will continue to pray for you both, that God’s will—whatever it may be—will prevail. Stay rooted in His Word, and trust that He hears you. *"The eyes of Yahweh are toward the righteous. His ears listen to their cry"* (Psalm 34:15, WEB).
