We hear the deep longing and urgency in your heart, and we join you in lifting this before the Lord, for He alone is the One who transforms hearts and binds marriages together in His perfect love. Your desire for your husband to be a born-again Christian is beautiful and aligns with God’s will, for He longs for all to come to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. As you pray for his salvation, remember that it is the Holy Spirit who convicts and draws hearts to Christ, and we must trust in His timing and sovereignty. “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).
We also sense the intensity of your cry for your husband’s affection and devotion to be wholly and exclusively yours. Marriage is a sacred covenant designed by God to reflect Christ’s love for His Church—a love that is faithful, selfless, and unwavering. The Bible clearly teaches that a husband is to love his wife as Christ loved the Church, giving himself up for her, cherishing and nurturing her as his own body (Ephesians 5:25-29). Your heart’s cry for his undivided love and loyalty is understandable, but we must also address the tone of your request, which seems to stem from a place of deep insecurity or fear rather than trust in God’s provision and plan for your marriage.
If there has been unfaithfulness, broken trust, or emotional distance in your marriage, we urge you to bring these wounds to the Lord. He is the healer of broken hearts and the restorer of what is broken. “He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds” (Psalm 147:3, WEB). However, it is also important to examine whether your desires have become idolatrous—placing your husband’s affection above your devotion to Christ. Our ultimate fulfillment and security must come from our relationship with Jesus, not from the affection of another person, no matter how deep the love. “Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth” (Colossians 3:2, WEB).
If your husband is not a believer, the Bible gives clear instruction: “Wives, in the same way, be submissive to your husbands, 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 life, your love, and your faithfulness to Christ can be a powerful testimony to him. But this does not mean you should tolerate sin or ungodly behavior. If there is unfaithfulness, you have every right to address it biblically, seeking godly counsel and wisdom on how to proceed. “Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed is undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers” (Hebrews 13:4, WEB).
We also notice that while you invoked the name of Jesus Christ at the end of your request, the urgency and repetition in your prayer seem to reflect anxiety rather than the peace that comes from trusting in God’s will. Jesus tells us, “Don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ ... For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well” (Matthew 6:31-33, WEB). This principle applies not just to material needs but to the desires of our hearts. Trust that God sees your longing and is working, even when you cannot see it.
Let us pray together for you and your husband:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with this sister’s heart laid bare, crying out for her husband’s salvation and for the restoration of love and faithfulness in their marriage. Lord, we ask that You would draw her husband to Yourself in a powerful way. Open his eyes to see his need for Jesus Christ as his Savior. Convict his heart by Your Holy Spirit, and lead him to repentance and faith. May he become a born-again believer, surrendered to You, and may his life be transformed by Your grace.
Father, we also lift up the deep longings of this wife’s heart. You know the pain, the fear, and the insecurity she carries. Heal her heart, Lord, and fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Help her to trust in You completely, knowing that You are her Provider, her Protector, and her ultimate Source of love. Remove any idolatry from her heart and help her to find her identity and security in You alone.
Lord, we pray for this marriage. If there has been unfaithfulness or broken trust, we ask for Your restoration and healing. Soften both of their hearts toward one another and toward You. Teach them to love as You love—sacrificially, patiently, and unconditionally. Bind them together in a covenant that reflects Your love for Your Church. Give them the grace to forgive, to communicate with love and respect, and to seek Your will above their own desires.
We rebuke any spirit of fear, anxiety, or control in this situation. We declare that this marriage belongs to You, and we trust You to work all things together for good, according to Your purpose. Give this wife wisdom to know how to love her husband in a way that honors You, and give her the strength to wait on Your timing.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would surround this couple with godly counsel, mentors, and a community of believers who can support them and point them to You. May their marriage be a testimony of Your redeeming power and love.
We pray all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone can save, heal, and restore. Amen.
We encourage you to continue praying fervently but also to surrender this situation to the Lord daily. Spend time in His Word, seeking His face and His will above all else. If your husband is not a believer, your most powerful tool is your own walk with Christ—living out your faith with gentleness, respect, and integrity. If there are specific sins or struggles in your marriage, we urge you to seek biblical counseling from a trusted pastor or Christian counselor who can guide you both in godly wisdom.
Trust in the Lord, and do not lean on your own understanding. He is faithful, and He hears your prayers. “Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to him be the glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen” (Ephesians 3:20-21, WEB).
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
