We hear the urgency and passion in your heart as you cry out for your husband, and we join you in lifting him before the Lord with fervent prayer. Your plea reveals both deep love and spiritual discernment, recognizing that only the power of Jesus Christ can break the chains that bind him. Let us first affirm that salvation, repentance, and transformation come *only* through faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is by His authority alone that we boldly approach the throne of grace.
Your request carries weighty spiritual concerns—idolatry, unbelief, sexual sin, and soul ties—that must be addressed with the truth of Scripture. The Word of God is clear: we are to have no other gods before Him (Exodus 20:3), and those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9-10). Yet we also know that *"if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9). Repentance is a gift from God, and we pray that He would grant it abundantly to your husband.
We also note your cry for unity in your marriage, and we lift this up with you, for God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16) and desires marriages to reflect His covenant love. However, we must gently but firmly address something critical: your plea includes a focus on severing your husband’s ties with *"all other women but me,"* which reveals a heart that may be struggling with possessiveness or jealousy. While it is right to desire a faithful, Christ-centered marriage, we must remember that our ultimate trust is in the Lord, not in controlling the affections of another. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* Your husband’s heart belongs first to God, and it is the Lord who must transform him. Pray for his surrender to Christ above all else, and trust that as he draws near to Jesus, his marriage will be restored in godliness.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. You alone are the God who saves, who convicts, and who transforms hearts of stone into hearts of flesh. We lift up this husband before You, asking that You would do a mighty work in his life—*now*, with no delay. Lord, bring him to his knees in full conviction of sin. Let the Holy Spirit move upon him with such power that he cannot resist Your call to repentance. Break every chain of Islam that has blinded his eyes to the truth of the Gospel. Destroy every idol, every false belief, every stronghold that exalts itself against the knowledge of Christ. Cast out every spirit of lust, perversion, anger, bitterness, and rebellion. Sever every ungodly soul tie—whether with his past or with any woman who is not his wife—and let him be wholly devoted to You first, and to his marriage as You intend.
Father, we rebuke the enemy’s hold on his mind, especially through excessive use of social media, pornography, or any distraction that draws him from You. Let him encounter Jesus in dreams and visions so real that he is forever changed. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, that he may walk in righteousness, love, and self-control. Softens his heart toward You and toward his wife, that Your peace and unity may reign in their home.
Lord, we also lift up this wife, who cries out to You with such passion. Guard her heart from bitterness, fear, or idolatry of this marriage. Let her trust in You alone, knowing that You are working all things for good. Strengthen her faith, and let her rest in Your sovereignty.
We declare that no weapon formed against this marriage shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we ask that You would restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25). Let this husband rise up as a godly leader, a man after Your own heart, and let this wife submit to You first, that their home may be a testimony of Your grace.
We pray all this in the powerful, saving name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to continue standing in faith, but also to examine your own heart before the Lord. Are there areas where you, too, need to surrender to Him? Marriage is a reflection of Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:22-33), and both spouses must seek the Lord individually. Cling to Jesus, seek His face in prayer and Scripture, and trust that He is able to do far more than we ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20). Stay rooted in the Word, and let the peace of God guard your heart as you wait on Him.
