How Do I Pray For Salvation For My Husband?

Becoming someone’s wife is a great honor. However, it can be difficult if your spouse is an unbeliever. Things can be tough, as both of you have different understandings and beliefs about things. What’s worse is when your spouse contradicts everything you believe in and forces you to stop. There is no easy way out, and divorce is not the answer. What you can do is pray to God for salvation so that one day your spouse’s eyes will be enlightened by God’s graces. How Do I Pray For Salvation For My Husband?

“Father, forgive my husband, for he is ignorant of Your wonder and love. I ask for Your guidance in helping me make my husband experience Your glory. May his heart be willing to embrace Your love for him. Amen.”

As a child of God, you should never lose hope. Believe that one day your spouse will receive the salvation he needs, for God is in control of everything. The best thing you can do for your husband is to pray and meditate so his eyes and heart may open up to God one day.

If you are seeking salvation for your husband, here are some prayers to keep in mind:

Pray for Forgiveness

First and foremost, pray to God for forgiveness. Ask God to help you forgive your spouse for his past sins. This will require a great deal of patience and strength on your part, but the result will be a healthy relationship with your spouse in the future. Remember, God has already forgiven us by sending his beloved son (John 3:16 – “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”). This explains how God’s forgiveness of us is infinite (Psalm 103:12 – as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.).

“Heavenly Father, may You shine upon my husband and let him know that You have forgiven him. I pray that you remove any barrier hindering him from experiencing Your presence and walking in its fullness. Remind him, O Lord, that there is nothing too big – no sin too large – to separate him from Your love. We bring You all the glory and praise for sending Your beloved son, Who died on the cross to remove all our sins. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Pray for Wisdom and Guidance

Ask God for guidance on how to help your husband accept the truth about God, for He knows best what you need and how to help you. Remember, it was not David who achieved all the glory, but God, Who gave him the strength and wisdom to achieve that victory (Psalm 18:39 – For you equipped me with strength for the battle; you made those who rise against me sink under me.). So do not worry, for God is always by your side to guide you (Isaiah 41:10 – fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.). When things get stressful, do not rely on your own ability. Trust the Lord your God, for He has a better solution for everything.

“O Lord, thank You for the love You have shown my husband. I ask that You grant him the wisdom and guidance he needs to lead our family. Father, let my husband see that he can achieve all that is unreachable with You. Send Your Holy Spirit to fill his life with Your wonders. We believe that through my prayer You will light his path for him to approach You. This I pray, Amen.”

Pray for a Change of Heart

Trust in the Lord your God that He will soften your husband’s heart. It is written in the Bible that God will give us a new heart made of flesh instead of stone when we accept Him (Ezekiel 36:26). If you have grown weary of stressing about your husband never changing, do not give up! The Bible says that you will reap what you sow (Galatians 6:7). All the effort and hard work will not go to waste, and the time you spent shall be rewarded. Nothing is wasted in the name of God. Everything has a reason and a purpose.

“Father, I thank You for blessing me with such a husband. I know that You love him even more than I do, and You desire for his heart to turn to You. I ask that You soften my husband’s heart so he is willing to take a leap of faith by following Your will; he will not lose anything but instead gain more if he has You in his life. May he feel Your presence and the Holy Spirit prompting and moving in his life. Grant him a new heart, a clean heart, and a willing heart to follow You. We praise You for all Your promises. Amen.”

Pray for His Companions

What an unbeliever needs the most is to have a mentor or companion who can guide him and show him the ways of the Lord—someone to point him in the right direction and not lead him astray or be tempted by worldly things. Proverbs 19:20 (Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future.) states that we should listen to counsel and receive instruction. One of the key factors in gaining wisdom is our receiving additional wisdom from others, for those who listen to counsel and receive instruction will lead you to the right path.

“Father, I pray that those who surround my husband will be godly people who will advise him in taking Your path. I hope they will enlighten my husband to Your wonders and tell him how great a father You are. Lead my husband away from any harmful people. Don’t let any temptation of the devil ever lead him astray. Remind him, O Lord, that the advice of others is for his own benefit, and it is not to harm him but to help him. May my husband have a teachable heart and readiness to gain more wisdom. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Pray for a New Light

We always hope that our husband’s eyes will see things in a new way, just as Elisha prayed to the Lord to open the young man’s eyes (2 Kings 6:17). Thus, the young man was able to see all the wonderful things around him. If your husband sees things in the way of the Lord our God, he will see things much more positively. He will realize that events happening in his life have a reason. That is why you should encourage your husband as God has encouraged you (Romans 15:5).

“Father, I pray for my husband to see things more positively; that he will be understanding regarding Your will, and he will understand Your plans for him are to prosper him and not to harm him. Everything that is happening in his life is designed to make him strong and have more faith in You. O Lord, make my husband’s heart strong to accept everything that is happening in his life. May he learn to accept the challenges and not give up so easily. Father, may I be an encouragement to my husband and family. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Pray for His Experience with God

Just because your husband is an unbeliever, that doesn’t automatically mean you’ll participate in the things he does. Indeed, it can be tempting to be led away from the Lord and follow the path of your husband. But that shouldn’t be you! You should instead walk the path of those who are blameless and pleasing to Him (Psalm 119:1). As you walk the path according to the will of the Lord, you must take this path with a whole heart, with no unrighteousness mixed in.

As believers, we know how much God loves us, and we hope our spouse can also experience God’s love (Romans 5:8).

“Heavenly Father, strengthen my heart, O Lord, to not be led astray. Instead, open my husband’s heart to the truth of Your love for him. Remind my husband, O Lord, that You have demonstrated Your love for him by sending Your son Jesus Christ to die for us on the cross and wash away our sins. Shine Your light upon my husband, O Lord, as You are ready to welcome him in Your loving arms. Amen.”

Pray for Acceptance

Remember, we aren’t perfect. So, there is no need to be impatient for your husband to change. Be patient and accept him for who he is. Remember, “We have all sinned,” based on Romans 3:23. For it is not you who will save your husband, but the Lord. He is the way to the truth and the life (John 14:6). That is why it is important to be patient and wait for God’s perfect time (Psalm 27:14).

“O Father, I come to You asking for forgiveness for all our sins. No one is perfect except You, Father. I admit, Father, that I am but a vessel of Yours, so use me, O Lord, to bring my husband closer to You. I know that only You know the exact moment when my husband will accept the truth. Father, strengthen my heart so I don’t lose hope so easily. I know that the changes needed for my husband to soften his heart toward You will take time. I trust You’ll answer all prayers in Your own way and time. Enlighten my husband, Father, that he does not need to be perfect for You to accept him; he is acceptable just the way he is—broken and a mess. I patiently await Your victory over my husband. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Conclusion

Salvation can be achieved only with patience and perseverance. Do not give up so easily, for one day all your effort shall be rewarded. Ask God for your husband’s heart to soften so he can see the glory of God and experience it. If things get tough, ask God for some guidance, and He shall enlighten you with the answer you seek. Always remember, nobody’s perfect; God loves us for who we are.
