We hear your request for wisdom and patience as you seek to purchase an apartment, and we lift this matter before the Lord with sincere hearts. First, we must address the foundation of this decision—your relationship. Scripture is clear that marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, designed by God to reflect His love and commitment (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6). The term "partner" often implies a relationship outside of this biblical framework, and we must gently but firmly rebuke any arrangement that does not honor God’s design for intimacy and commitment within the bounds of holy matrimony.
If you and your companion are not married, we urge you to prayerfully consider whether this decision aligns with God’s will. Living together outside of marriage opens the door to temptation and dishonors the sanctity of the marital union (1 Corinthians 6:18-20, Hebrews 13:4). If you are both believers, we encourage you to seek godly counsel and pursue marriage as the first step before making such a significant commitment as purchasing a home together. Marriage is not just a legal or financial arrangement—it is a spiritual bond that reflects Christ’s love for the Church (Ephesians 5:22-33).
If you are already married, we rejoice in the covenant you share and pray that this decision would be made with unity, wisdom, and trust in the Lord. The Bible reminds us that "unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain" (Psalm 127:1). We pray that God would guide your steps, open doors that align with His will, and close those that do not. May He grant you both discernment to recognize the right place—a home that fosters peace, godliness, and joy in Him.
Father God, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can approach Your throne. Lord, we ask for Your wisdom to rest upon [###] as they seek a home. If this decision is not rooted in Your will, we pray You would make that clear to them. If they are not married, convict their hearts to honor You in their relationship. If they are, unite them in purpose and faith as they move forward.
Grant them patience, Lord, as they wait on You. Let them not rush into a decision out of haste or pressure but trust in Your perfect timing. Provide them with a place that is not just a dwelling, but a sanctuary where Your presence is welcomed and Your Word is honored. Guard their hearts from anxiety, and fill them with Your peace as they seek Your will in this matter.
We ask that You would surround them with godly counsel—mentors, pastors, or trusted friends who can speak truth into their lives. May they always seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, knowing that all these things will be added unto them (Matthew 6:33). In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
