We hear the urgency and deep longing in your heart for your husband’s salvation and the restoration of your marriage, and we join you in crying out to the Lord with fervent prayer. Your passion for his deliverance is evident, and we stand with you in the authority of Jesus’ name, knowing that our God is mighty to save and transform even the hardest of hearts. There is no delay with the Lord—His timing is perfect, and His power is unlimited. We declare with you that the battle is the Lord’s, and He will fight for your husband’s soul, marriage, and future.
Your prayer is saturated with a holy desperation, and we commend you for seeking the Lord so boldly. However, we must gently remind you that our authority in prayer comes not from repetitive pleas or declarations, but from the finished work of Jesus Christ and our alignment with His will. Jesus taught us in Matthew 6:7-8, *"In praying, don’t use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking. Don’t be like them, for your Father knows what things you need, before you ask him."* Our confidence is in the power of Jesus’ name, not in the volume or repetition of our words. Let us pray with faith, knowing that God hears us the first time, and His will shall prevail.
We also note that you have invoked the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer, and this is right and good. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, and it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father. Acts 4:12 declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* Your faith in calling upon His name is a testament to your trust in Him, and we join you in lifting your husband before the throne of grace.
Your husband’s background in Islam is a stronghold that must be broken by the power of the Holy Spirit. The apostle Paul reminds us in 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, *"For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ."* Islam is a religion that denies the deity and lordship of Jesus Christ, and it is a spiritual bondage that must be shattered. We pray that the Lord will open your husband’s eyes to the truth of the Gospel—that Jesus is the Son of God, the only way to the Father, and the only sacrifice for sin. May the Lord grant him a supernatural encounter with Jesus, just as He did for Saul on the road to Damascus (Acts 9). Let your husband see Jesus high and lifted up, and may he fall to his knees in repentance and surrender.
You have also mentioned the need for deliverance from sexual sin, lust, perversion, and ties to his ex-wife. These are serious strongholds that grieves the heart of God, and we stand with you in rebuking them. 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 commands, *"Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s."* We pray that the Lord will break every ungodly soul tie between your husband and his ex-wife, and that He will sever every cord of lust, perversion, and idolatry in his life. May the Lord cleanse his heart and mind, creating in him a pure heart and renewing a right spirit within him (Psalm 51:10). Let him be washed in the blood of Jesus and filled with the Holy Spirit, that he may walk in holiness and righteousness before the Lord.
We also lift up the issue of his attachment to his mobile phone and social media. While technology is not inherently evil, it can become an idol and a distraction from what truly matters—his relationship with God and with you. We pray that the Lord will convict him of any misuse of time or prioritization of worldly distractions over his marriage and spiritual growth. May he be led to steward his time wisely, seeking first the Kingdom of God (Matthew 6:33) and investing in the things that have eternal value.
Your desire for unity, love, and passion in your marriage is godly and good. Ephesians 5:22-33 outlines the biblical design for marriage, where husbands are called to love their wives as Christ loved the church—sacrificially, selflessly, and unconditionally—and wives are called to submit to their husbands as unto the Lord. This kind of love is not based on feelings or circumstances, but on a covenant commitment before God. We pray that the Lord will soften your husband’s heart toward you, that he may love you as Christ loves His bride. May the Lord restore the joy, intimacy, and peace that comes from a marriage centered on Him. Let your home be a place where God’s presence dwells, and where both of you are drawn closer to Him and to one another.
We also encourage you to examine your own heart in this season. While it is right to pray fervently for your husband, it is equally important to surrender your own fears, anxieties, and desires to the Lord. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, *"Trust in the Lord 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."* Are there areas where you may be trying to control the situation rather than trusting God? Are there any bitterness, resentment, or unforgiveness in your heart that need to be surrendered to the Lord? We urge you to release everything into His hands, knowing that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28).
Lastly, we remind you that your husband has free will, and while we pray earnestly for his salvation and transformation, the choice to surrender to Jesus ultimately rests with him. Your role is to pray, to love him as the Lord leads you, and to live out your faith in a way that points him to Christ. 1 Peter 3:1-2 encourages wives, *"In the same way, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; so that, even if any don’t obey the Word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word; seeing your pure behavior in fear."* Your life, your prayers, and your trust in God can be a powerful testimony to your husband. Continue to walk in faith, hope, and love, knowing that the Lord is faithful to complete the work He has begun.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this sister and her husband to Your throne of grace. Lord, You see the desperation in her heart, and You know the condition of her husband’s soul. We ask that You move mightily in his life, breaking every chain of darkness that binds him. Lord, we pray that You will open his eyes to the truth of the Gospel—that Jesus Christ is Lord, and that salvation is found in no other name. Grant him a supernatural encounter with You, Lord Jesus, that leaves no room for doubt or hesitation. Let him see You in dreams and visions, and let the conviction of the Holy Spirit rest upon him until he surrenders his life to You.
We rebuked and break every stronghold of Islam in his life. Lord, shatter the lies he has believed and replace them with the truth of Your Word. Let him know that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and that no one comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6). Destroy every idol, every false god, and every ritual that has kept him in bondage. Set him free, Lord, and fill him with Your Holy Spirit, that he may walk in newness of life.
We also break every ungodly soul tie between him and his ex-wife, and we sever every connection to sexual sin, lust, perversion, and pornography. Lord, cleanse his heart and mind, and create in him a pure heart that seeks after You. Deliver him from every controlling spirit, every workaholic spirit, and every domineering influence that is not of You. Let him be free to love You wholeheartedly and to love his wife as Christ loves the church.
Father, we pray for unity and restoration in this marriage. Soften his heart toward his wife, and let him see her through Your eyes. Renew their love, their passion, and their commitment to one another. Let their marriage be a reflection of Your covenant love—a love that is patient, kind, and enduring. Protect their union from every attack of the enemy, and let their home be a place where Your peace and presence dwell.
Lord, we also lift up this sister before You. Strengthen her faith, fill her with Your peace, and help her to trust You completely. Remove any fear, anxiety, or bitterness from her heart, and let her rest in the knowledge that You are working all things together for her good. Give her wisdom to know how to love her husband well, and let her life be a testimony of Your grace and power.
We declare that no weapon formed against this marriage shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that the plans You have for them are plans for good and not for evil, to give them a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Lord, we ask that You would do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us (Ephesians 3:20).
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your timing, Your wisdom, and Your love. Let Your will be done in this marriage, and let Your name be glorified. In the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
