1 Timothy 2:1-4 says, I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. You must first know that God wants all souls to be saved, no matter who they are or what kind of a person they are. God’s will is for every man to be saved.

I am excited for that day to come to pass. Thank You for the victory ahead in Christ Jesus. Your will be done, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

He never breaks His word or His promises. He is always bound to fulfill what He said in His Word. There are powerful Scriptures that can be employed for the salvation of your husband’s soul.

Declaring God’s love to your husband is powerful because it is the truth. The enemy fears to hear it because he knows he will never win against God in the battle for your husband’s soul. So, as you pray for your husband’s salvation, partner with the Holy Spirit. Let Him show you which Scriptures to declare and pray over your husband.

How do I pray to Jesus for my husband?

Praying to Jesus for your husband is simply about coming to God as who you are. Just be yourself and pour out your heart’s desires for your husband before Jesus. There are many things that you can pray for your husband other than the salvation of his soul. You can make a prayer strategy to win him over to Christ Jesus. For instance, you can pray to Jesus to surround your husband with godly friends and a strong community. You don’t have to face this journey alone. Know that God can also use other people to draw your husband to Christ. Therefore, pray to God to bring him godly friends and divine connections who can share with Him the truths about the Gospel, the Word of God, the love of the Father, and the ways of the Kingdom. Moreover, you can pray for your husband’s mind and heart to be opened by the Father and draw him to the Lord Jesus Christ. After all, Jesus said that no one is able to come to Him unless the Father draws that person to Him (see John 6:44).

Aside from the spiritual needs of your husband, you can also pray for his daily strength, protection, skills, and creativity at his job, as well as for him to be a blessing to the people around him. Your prayers are deposits to his soul. Though it may not be related to his salvation, your love and desire for his betterment will eventually flourish. We are spirit beings, and your husband’s spirit, which comes from God, is being impacted by your prayers for him. Someday, you will harvest and witness the Lord’s goodness in your husband’s life, so long as you don’t give up praying all kinds of prayers for his soul (see Ephesians 6:18).

As you come to Jesus, lay everything at His feet. Petition all your requests with thanksgiving for your husband, and He will never disappoint you. God never fails, and He remains faithful to fulfill His Word.

What does the Bible say about unbelieving husbands?

The Bible mentions unbelieving spouses in 1 Corinthians 7:12-16. It says,

But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?

In verse 14, it says that the believing husband or wife brings holiness to the marriage, in the case of those who have an unbelieving spouse. God is still in your marriage, even if your husband is not yet a believer. After all, you are God’s instrument for the salvation of your husband’s soul by praying for him. Don’t give up praying, and don’t lose hope. Know that God remains at the center of your marriage because of your faith. Let your faith arise in hope for the salvation of your husband’s soul. Continue to pray for him and expect that God’s promise will come to pass.

Here is an exaltation prayer for the salvation of your husband:

Thank You, Lord Jesus, for my husband shall be saved! You are the Lord and Savior of my household. The devil must leave! He has no place in our home, in my husband’s life, or my children’s life! Thank You for the victory that we have in You. You have already won the battle, and I receive that victory with joy, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
