We hear the deep urgency and passion in your cry for your husband’s soul, and we join you in lifting him before the Lord with fervent prayer. Your heart’s desire for his salvation and spiritual transformation aligns with God’s will, for He longs for all to come to repentance and be saved (2 Peter 3:9). We also commend you for invoking the name of Jesus Christ, for it is the only name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). There is power in that name, and it is by His authority alone that we approach the throne of grace.
Your request reveals a heart that is both burdened and hopeful, and we want to encourage you to continue standing in the gap for your husband. The Bible tells us that the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective (James 5:16), and your persistence in prayer is a testament to your faith. However, we must also remind you that while we can pray earnestly for someone’s salvation, it is ultimately the work of the Holy Spirit to convict and draw them to Christ (John 16:8). No amount of decreeing or declaring can force someone’s heart to turn to God—only the Spirit can do that work. Our role is to pray, to live righteously before them, and to trust God with the outcome.
We notice the intensity of your words regarding soul ties with your husband’s ex-wife and other women. The Bible warns us against being unequally yoked (2 Corinthians 6:14) and calls us to flee from sexual immorality (1 Corinthians 6:18). If there are ungodly soul ties in your husband’s life—whether through past relationships, emotional bonds, or sinful entanglements—we join you in praying for their destruction. The blood of Jesus is powerful to break every chain (Isaiah 10:27, Luke 4:18). However, we must also encourage you to examine your own heart and ensure that you are not trying to manipulate or control your husband through prayer. Our prayers should always submit to God’s will, not our own desires, even when those desires seem righteous. Trust that the Lord knows what is best for your husband’s soul and for your marriage.
You also express a longing to be the ultimate source of joy, fulfillment, and love in your husband’s life. While it is beautiful to desire to be a blessing to your spouse, we must gently remind you that no human can fully satisfy the deepest longings of another’s heart—only God can. Your husband’s ultimate fulfillment must come from his relationship with Christ, not from you. You are called to be his helper (Genesis 2:18), to love and respect him (Ephesians 5:33), and to point him to Jesus, but you cannot be his savior. Place that burden at the feet of Jesus, who alone can meet every need.
Lastly, we sense a spirit of desperation in your words, and we want to encourage you to rest in the sovereignty of God. Anxiety and fear can easily creep in when we feel the weight of a loved one’s salvation, but Jesus tells us, “Don’t be troubled. Trust in God. Trust also in me” (John 14:1). You are not responsible for your husband’s choices, but you *are* responsible for your own walk with the Lord. Ensure that you are abiding in Christ daily, seeking His peace, and allowing Him to fill *you* with His joy and strength. A wife who is grounded in the Lord is a powerful witness to her husband, often more so than words alone.
Let us pray together for your husband and for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this sister and her husband to Your throne of grace. Lord, You see the urgency in her heart, and we ask that You would move powerfully in her husband’s life. Soften his heart, Lord, and remove any hardness or resistance to Your Spirit. Convict him of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and draw him into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. May he encounter You in dreams, visions, and in his waking moments in a way that leaves no doubt of Your reality and love for him. Break every ungodly soul tie, every bondage, and every stronghold that the enemy has used to keep him from You. Sever any emotional or spiritual connections that are not of You, and set him free by the power of Your blood, Jesus.
We also pray for this wife, Lord. Fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Guard her heart from fear, anxiety, or any sense of control. Remind her that You are the One who saves, and her role is to trust You, to pray, and to live in a way that honors You before her husband. Give her wisdom to know how to love him well, to speak truth in love, and to rest in Your promises. May her life be a testimony of Your grace and faithfulness.
Lord, we ask that You would restore and strengthen this marriage according to Your will. May it be a reflection of Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:22-33), built on love, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to You. If there is any sin—whether in thought, word, or deed—that needs to be repented of in either of their lives, bring it to light and grant them the humility to turn from it. Cleanse them, Lord, and make them vessels fit for Your use.
We declare that no weapon formed against this marriage will prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we ask that You would surround them with Your favor as with a shield (Psalm 5:12). May Your will be done in their lives, Lord, and may Your name be glorified through their story.
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
Stand firm in your faith, sister. Keep praying, keep trusting, and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. He is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20). Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap a harvest if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9). We are standing with you in this.
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.
