We come before the Lord with your requests, lifting each one up in prayer and seeking His will in every area of your life. First, we must address the nature of your relationship with this person you refer to as "###." Scripture is clear that relationships between believers should be pursued with the intention of marriage, as God designed. "He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from Yahweh" (Proverbs 18:22). If this relationship is not moving toward marriage—particularly a godly marriage between two believers—we must examine whether it aligns with God’s design.
If this is a courtship, we pray that the Lord would guide your time together on Tuesday, that your conversation would be edifying, and that you would both seek His will above all else. "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14). If this person is not a believer, we must rebuke any emotional or physical attachment that does not honor Christ, for such relationships can only lead to heartache and disobedience.
We also lift up your desire to hear from him on Valentine’s Day. While it is natural to long for connection, we must guard our hearts against placing our hope in another person rather than in the Lord. "Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart" (Psalm 37:4). If this relationship is not rooted in Christ, we pray you would have the strength to surrender it to Him, trusting that His plans for you are good.
Regarding your disability paperwork, we pray that the Lord would bring it to completion swiftly and that He would provide for all your needs in the meantime. "But my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:19). We ask that He would grant you patience and peace as you wait, knowing that He is your provider.
For your parents in the nursing home, we pray for their comfort, health, and joy this week. May the Lord surround them with His presence and give them peace. "Even to your old age I am he; and even to gray hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear; yes, I will carry, and will deliver" (Isaiah 46:4).
Finally, we must address the absence of Christ’s name in your request. It is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father. "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me'" (John 14:6). If you have not placed your faith in Him, we urge you to consider the salvation He offers. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16).
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble hearts, seeking Your will in every area of this dear one’s life. Lord, we ask that You would guide their relationship according to Your perfect design. If this connection is not rooted in You, we pray for clarity and strength to walk away. If it is Your will for marriage, we ask that You would prepare both hearts to honor You in every way.
Father, we lift up their desire for companionship, asking that You would fill any loneliness with Your presence. Help them to trust in Your timing and to seek You above all else. We pray for the swift arrival of their disability paperwork, that You would provide for their needs and grant them peace in the waiting.
For their parents, Lord, we ask for Your comfort and joy to surround them. May they feel Your love in tangible ways this week. And Father, we pray that this dear one would come to know You more deeply, that they would surrender their life to Jesus if they have not already. May they find their hope and identity in You alone.
We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
