Beloved of All
We were separated by distance. He did not call. I called. I always will. I love him. So this prayer is not about me it's for him, mi amor para siempre. Him. I pray for his mental peace , that he gets the job he desires to make a little money to help his mother until he comes home to me. I pray that he is the beautiful man I see. He has insecurities about being bald, overweight and about his age. I think he is beautiful God I'm crying while I write this because this man has moved my soul heart mind body through darkest of times hardest of pain , throughout times we didn't want this. My heart fell deeper than ever expected. He is beautiful to me. Ilove him . I choose him ,our us. I am his best friend. I pray he open his heart to every blessing you have for him today. He shine so bright. His twinkle in his eyes when laughing , his smile when he is being goofy, his heart when it hurts let him breathe in the ocean today. God how I love this man with my entire soul. Lord no anxious thoughts I speak into the silence for him and ask for the stillness the calm. I pray healing on his testicles. The veins God untangle. No worries , no health worries. He is beautiful. Lord I ask as he mediates today on your goodness he knows you are with him , loving him . Giving him new thoughts , new ideas. Prescious father use me , help mate to adore uplift encourage stand together stand with stand by him. Use me, use us through it all. Pray the job call him back but mostly he wants us side by side. Marriage. Reach for me , I'm there. His baby, his love. His wife. Protect from my anxious thoughts so everything he need wants desires from me in our relationship freely flow. We both chose you Jesus Christ. We are sealed. Covered by your blood. Just freely flow. Flow. Thank you God that in this world and the world we both grew up in that you can elevate a man and woman with healing. Unconditional love. Encouragement and growth. Pure. Blessings for our union but blessings in growth. Thank you for allowing us refreshing energy. Ours.
 
We join you in this beautiful and tender prayer for the man you love on your one year anniversary, and we hear the depth of your love and devotion for him and your desire to lift him before the Lord. We thank God that you both have chosen Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and it is only by His name that we are saved, as it is written Acts 4:12 and John 14:6. We rejoice that you are sealed and covered by His blood and that you desire a union that honors Him.

We pray together for him and for you and for your future marriage. We love your heart to see him as God sees him, beautiful and fearfully and wonderfully made, Psalm 139:14. We understand his insecurities about being bald, about his weight and his age, and we pray that the Lord will renew his mind and show him that his worth is not in outward appearance but in being created in the image of God and being a new creation in Christ, 1 Samuel 16:7 and 2 Corinthians 5:17. We pray that he will know that man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart, and that he is loved and valued deeply by God and by you.

We lift up his mental peace and anxious thoughts to the Lord, for you both have carried pain through dark times. We pray that he will experience the stillness and calm that comes from trusting God, Psalm 46:10. We pray as Scripture teaches, do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus, Philippians 4:6-7. We cast all our anxiety on Him because He cares for us, 1 Peter 5:7, and we pray that healing will come to his heart where it hurts, for He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds, Psalm 147:3, and that the Lord will be near to him when his heart is broken, Psalm 34:18.

We pray for his physical healing, specifically for the veins in his testicles, that the Lord would touch his body, untangle what is tangled and bring wholeness and remove worry about his health. We trust that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, and that God is able to heal and restore. We also pray for his need for work to help his mother and to provide, that God would open the right door for employment in His timing and provision, for we know that God has plans for us, plans for peace and not for evil, to give hope and a future, Jeremiah 29:11, and that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose, Romans 8:28.

We are encouraged by your desire for marriage and for being side by side as husband and wife. This is God's beautiful and holy design, that a man will leave his father and his mother and will be joined to his wife and they will be one flesh, Genesis 2:24, and what God has joined together, let no man separate, Matthew 19:6. We strongly affirm and endorse marriage as a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman before God, and we see your courtship as moving toward that holy covenant. We encourage you both to continue to pursue purity and to honor God with your bodies and your love until that covenant is made, for marriage is honorable in all and the bed undefiled, Hebrews 13:4, and we are called to flee sexual immorality, 1 Corinthians 6:18. We gently encourage you not to call yourselves husband and wife before the vows are made, but to cherish this time of courtship as preparation to become a godly wife and godly husband who will stand together, stand with and stand by one another in Christ. Love is patient and is kind, love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things, 1 Corinthians 13:4-7.

We also pray for you, that God would protect you from your own anxious thoughts so that everything he needs and desires from you in your relationship may freely flow from a heart at rest in Christ. May you both be strengthened to encourage and uplift one another daily while it is called today, Hebrews 3:13, and may you find refreshing energy and growth together in unconditional love.

We pray together now, Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ and we lift up this beloved man to You. Lord, You know his name, You know his heart, his insecurities, his health, his longing to provide for his mother and to be reunited in marriage with the woman who loves him. We ask that You pour out Your perfect peace upon his mind, that You quiet every anxious thought and fill him with new thoughts and new ideas as he meditates on Your goodness. Let him breathe deeply today and know You are with him, loving him. Heal his body, Lord, touch the veins that concern him and bring complete healing according to Your will, remove all fear and health worries. Provide for him the job You have prepared for him, open the door that no man can shut and give him favor. Show him how beautiful he is in Your eyes, that he is fearfully and wonderfully made and deeply loved. Strengthen this sister who loves him, calm her tears and her anxious heart, use her as a true helpmate to adore, uplift and encourage him in a way that honors You. Lead them both in purity and holiness as they wait upon You for marriage, and bless their union for Your glory, that through their love others may see Your healing, Your encouragement and Your pure and unconditional love. Let Your will be done in their lives and let Your peace guard their hearts. We ask for refreshing energy and growth for them both and that You would elevate them together for Your purposes. We pray all this in the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ, amen.
 
Thank you for letting us see your heart on this anniversary. We can hear how deeply you love him and how much you want peace for him while you are apart. It is understandable that distance and waiting for a call would feel heavy, especially on a day that holds so much meaning for you, and we are grateful you brought him to prayer so tenderly.

The way you see him with kindness when he feels insecure about his age, hair loss and weight is a gift. Continuing to offer that steady encouragement, while also giving him space to bring his own worries to God, can help him carry those feelings more lightly.

You mentioned healing for his testicles and veins. Alongside prayer we gently encourage him to see a medical professional for that concern so he can get proper care and clear answers.

We also hear your hopes for work that would help his mother and for clarity about being together and marriage. Waiting in that in between place can stir anxious thoughts for both of you. Taking one day at a time, keeping communication honest and patient, and seeking God's direction together for next steps can help keep that anxiety from taking over. We are thankful you both want to follow Jesus as you think about the future.

Father, we lift this man to You and we lift the one who loves him. Give him quietness of mind today, rest, and wisdom for work and for caring for his mother. Provide good medical care for his body and guide them both with clarity and peace as they seek Your will. In Jesus' name, amen.
 
Your prayer has been heard with tenderness, and the tears with which you wrote it are not hidden from Him who bottles every tear. You have carried this love for a year across distance, and you have poured out your heart not for yourself but for the one whom you love, that he might know peace, provision, health and hope in Christ.

You ask for stillness for his mind and freedom from anxious thoughts, and this is a right and needful prayer. I have long observed that anxiety does not pay. It brings no grist to the mill and no meal to the barrel, and the very anxiety which arises through being in a difficulty unfits a man to meet that difficulty. Your care for him is beautiful, but care must be cast upon the Lord, for He cares for you. Tell the case to Jesus just as you would mention a physical case to a doctor. He is ready to hear it all and to consider it. Make a confidant of Jesus. Seek that he may sit under the teaching of Christ, for faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God, and it was when Christ was teaching that the power of the Lord was present to heal. As he meditates upon the goodness of God, pray that the Lord will give him new thoughts and a quiet heart, and that you also may be kept from anxious thoughts, that what you give to one another may flow from rest and not from fear.

You speak of his fears concerning his appearance, his age, his form, and you see beauty where he sees infirmity. Remember that man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks upon the heart, and the soul is better than the body. That poor carcass will soon fade, but the immortal soul is of great price. Pray that he may see himself as God sees him, not in vanity but in the dignity of a man made in God's image and, if he be in Christ, renewed by grace. The least thing about Christ has healing virtue. The leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations, and those leaves change the life blood and make the nature other than it was before. May he know that healing which begins within and works outward, giving freshness and strength to the whole man.

You have asked also for healing of his body, for that hidden affliction of which you speak with modesty and sorrow. We very speedily care for bodily diseases, for they urge us to seek a physician, and you do well to bring this also to the Great Physician. In our Lord, healing and pardon are placed in happy conjunction. When Jesus healed the man taken with palsy, He said first, your sins are forgiven you, and then bade him rise. First forgiveness, then healing. So we pray that as you both have chosen Christ and are covered by His blood, you may know more and more the pardon that is yours in Him, and that from that pardon healing may flow as God wills. The Lord has begun to heal us and the healing virtue which His grace has infused will work health and cure till we shall be without spot. Seek also the help of earthly physicians as Providence provides, while looking above all to Christ, from whom abundant streams of healing flow down to men below.

You pray for his daily bread, that God would open a door of honest labor that he may help his mother and prepare for what is to come. This is an honorable desire, and God honors such provision. Pray that the Lord would grant him work suited to his hand, and contentment to wait upon the Lord's timing, not seeking only to get but to serve.

And you pray for your union, that you may be side by side in marriage, that you may be his helpmate to uplift and encourage and stand beside him. This desire for holy marriage, a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, is to be commended and prayed for. Yet I must exhort you both in love to keep that covenant holy as God ordained it. If you are not yet joined before God and His people in marriage, do not live as those who are married, nor seek the privileges which belong only within that covenant. The body is not for impurity but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. Keep yourselves pure until the Lord, if it be His will, shall join you together. Then what is now longing may become a blessed and lawful communion, and your love may be built upon a foundation that will not shake. Do not ask God to bless what He has not called good, but ask Him to make you both holy, and to lead you in the path of righteousness whether He brings you together soon or calls you to wait. A pure love that waits upon the Lord shines brighter than any hasty union.

So we pray for you both. May the Lord keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed upon Him, grant him health according to His wisdom, provide for his needs and his mother's needs, and conform him more to the image of Christ. May He keep you also in calm trust, free from anxious care, that you may be a true helper and encourager, speaking words seasoned with grace. May He, if it be according to His good will, in His time bring you together in holy matrimony, to the praise of His grace and for your mutual growth in unconditional love and encouragement. And may He heal your broken hearts, for He heals the broken in heart and binds up their wounds, not by your power but by His own hand. Look to Jesus, abide in His Word, and wait upon Him, for He will not cast out any who come to Him.
 
Your prayer has been heard, and the love and sorrow with which you wrote it are clear. Thank you for bringing this man before the Lord with such tenderness, and for bringing yourself as well.

I join you in praying for him, for his peace of mind, for his health, and for provision for his mother and for himself. I pray that God will give him work that is honest and sufficient, that he will be healed according to the Lord's mercy, and that he will come to see himself as God sees him, made in God's image and valued not for outward appearance or age but for the soul Christ came to save. Insecurities about the body weigh heavily, yet our hope is not in youth or strength but in knowing that we are fearfully and wonderfully made and that our true worth is found in Christ.

I also hear your deep desire for marriage and for being side by side. That desire itself is good, for marriage is honorable and is given by God as a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman. Scripture teaches that marriage is pure and protects holiness by keeping sexual union within that covenant alone. For this reason I cannot ask God to bless sexual intimacy or a living together outside of marriage, but I can and do pray that God will lead you both into holiness and into peace.

The peace the prophets and angels proclaim is first peace with God through Jesus Christ alone, who shed His blood to save us. From that peace flows a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. If you have both truly chosen Christ and are sealed by His blood, then keep following Him in obedience. That means choosing purity until marriage, guarding your hearts and bodies, and letting your love be shown in encouragement, prayer, and self control rather than in anxious clinging.

So I pray for you both in this way. Lord Jesus, You alone save. Draw this man and this woman closer to Yourself. Grant him calm in place of anxious thoughts, stillness in place of turmoil, and new thoughts that are shaped by Your goodness. Grant her also stillness, and guard her from anxious thoughts that would stir up strife within. Heal his body as You will, and help him to trust You with his health and his future. Provide for his needs and for his mother's needs according to Your wisdom. Teach them both to follow peace with all people and holiness, to live chastely now, and if it is Your will, to enter marriage in a way that honors You, with reverence and order, not with impurity. Let their relationship, whether it leads to marriage or not, be under Your lordship, and let every step be taken with counsel, prayer, and patience.

Continue to seek the Lord daily, to pray, to hear His Word, and to seek wise counsel in your church. Use this time of distance not to hold more tightly to each other in fear, but to hold more tightly to Christ, who alone can make you whole and who alone can establish a home on a firm foundation. May the Lord keep you, guide you into all purity and truth, and give you both the refreshing energy and growth that come from walking faithfully with Him.
