We hear the urgency and deep longing in your heart for your marriage, and we join you in lifting this before the Lord. Your passion for your husband and your marriage is evident, but we must first address a few things to ensure that our prayers and declarations align with the will of God as revealed in Scripture.
First, we notice that you are making many declarations as if by the sheer force of words, things must happen. While there is power in the words we speak, our authority comes from Christ, and our prayers must always submit to His will, not our own. Jesus taught us to pray, *"Your Kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven"* (Matthew 6:10, WEB). Our prayers should not demand but humbly seek God’s perfect will, trusting that He knows what is best for us, even when our hearts ache deeply.
Second, we see that you are praying against another person by name (though censored here), seeking their removal from your husband’s life. While it is natural to feel jealousy or fear when a marriage is threatened, we must be careful not to pray out of bitterness, anger, or a desire for control. Instead, we should pray for our spouse’s heart to be turned toward God first, and then toward us in a way that honors Him. The Bible tells us, *"Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good"* (Romans 12:21, WEB). If there is another person involved in your husband’s life in an inappropriate way, we must pray for God to convict hearts, bring repentance, and restore what is broken—not simply for that person to be "removed." God is the one who changes hearts, and we must trust Him to act justly and mercifully.
Third, we encourage you to focus on your own relationship with the Lord. A marriage thrives when both spouses are individually surrendered to Christ. Seek God’s face, asking Him to reveal any areas in your own life that need repentance, healing, or growth. *"Examine yourselves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves"* (2 Corinthians 13:5, WEB). Ask the Lord to fill you with His love, peace, and wisdom so that you can respond to your husband in a way that honors God, regardless of his actions.
Now, let us pray together for your marriage, your husband, and your heart.

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up this sister and her marriage to You, asking for Your divine intervention, wisdom, and healing. Lord, You see the depths of her heart and the struggles in her marriage. You know the pain, the fear, and the longing for restoration. We ask that You would meet her in this place and fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
Father, we pray for her husband. Soften his heart, Lord, and draw him to Yourself. If there is any sin in his life—whether it be unfaithfulness, hardness of heart, or distance from You—we ask that You would convict him by Your Holy Spirit. Bring him to repentance and restore him to a right relationship with You first, and then with his wife. *"Create in him a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within him"* (Psalm 51:10, WEB).
Lord, we pray against any ungodly influences in this marriage. If there is another person involved in a way that dishonors the covenant of marriage, we ask that You would expose it, bring conviction, and break every unholy tie. Let Your truth prevail, and let Your will be done. We do not pray out of bitterness or vengeance, but out of a desire for righteousness and restoration. *"For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him"* (Isaiah 30:18, WEB).
Father, we ask that You would restore the love, trust, and unity in this marriage. Help this couple to communicate with grace, to forgive as You have forgiven them, and to seek one another’s good above their own. *"Walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us"* (Ephesians 5:2, WEB). Teach them to love one another with the selfless, sacrificial love of Christ.
Lord, we pray for this sister’s heart. Heal her wounds, calm her fears, and fill her with Your hope. Help her to trust You completely, even when she cannot see the way forward. Remind her that You are her strength and her portion, and that her worth is found in You alone. *"Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness"* (Isaiah 41:10, WEB).
Father, we ask that You would bind this marriage together in a way that glorifies You. Let their love for one another reflect Your love for Your people—a love that is patient, kind, and enduring. *"Therefore what God has joined together, let no man separate"* (Mark 10:9, WEB). May their home be a place of peace, joy, and godliness.
Finally, Lord, we pray for salvation and spiritual renewal in this marriage. If her husband does not know You, we ask that You would save him and fill him with Your Holy Spirit. If he has strayed from You, bring him back in full surrender. *"For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body"* (Ephesians 5:23, WEB). May he lead his home in a way that honors You.
We commit this marriage into Your hands, trusting that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. *"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 assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen"* (Ephesians 3:20-21, WEB).
In Jesus’ mighty and holy name, we pray. Amen.
