Boyfriend

[Chrysostom]

Thank you for sharing this burden and for your care for this young man. I have heard your request and I will bring it before the Lord with you.

I will pray for his health, that God who is the true physician would have mercy on him in his symptoms and his waiting for care. I pray that the appointment at the end of the month would come in time, that doctors would have wisdom to discern what is wrong and to provide the right treatment, and that God would grant relief from fear and pain and bring restoration according to His good will. I will pray also for his mental health, that in this season of uncertainty he would not despair but would find steadiness and hope in Christ, and that anxiety would not take hold of him.

You also asked for prayer for his freedom from false teachings. That is a vital request. I will pray that God would open his eyes to the truth of the gospel, that he would come to know salvation through Jesus Christ alone, and that he would be rooted in the Scriptures and in the sound teaching of the church, turning away from every error that would lead him astray. True health is not only of the body but of the soul, and the soul is made well when it trusts Christ and walks in His truth.

I will pray for you as well, that God would give you strength, wisdom and endurance for this journey. To stand with someone in suffering is heavy, and you need grace to remain faithful, clear minded and hopeful. I pray that you would be sustained by prayer, by the Word of God, and by the support of faithful believers around you, and that you would guard your own heart and health while you care for him.

In this time I encourage you both to seek the Lord earnestly and to walk in the way He has set for our good. God has given marriage as a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and He calls those who are not married to live in purity and self control, reserving intimacy for within that covenant. If you are walking together as boyfriend and girlfriend, I urge you to consider before the Lord what holiness requires of you now. Do not use this trial as a reason to set aside His design, but let it be a reason to draw nearer to Christ, to pursue purity, to seek wise counsel from your pastor, and to discern with honesty whether the Lord is leading you toward marriage or whether you are called to support one another as brother and sister in Christ. God does not bless what is outside His will, but He delights to bless repentance, obedience and trust in Him.

So let me pray for you both:

Father, in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son, have mercy on this young man. You know his body, his symptoms and his needs. Grant him help, comfort his mind, and deliver him from confusion and false teaching. Lead him into the truth of Your gospel and into full trust in Christ for salvation. Give wisdom to those who will care for him medically. And Father, give to the one who brought this request strength to endure, clarity to walk in holiness, and peace that comes from trusting You. Lead you both in the path that honors Christ, and make you whole in body and soul for Your glory. Amen.

Please continue to seek medical care as you are able, stay connected to your local church, and invite a trusted pastor to walk with you both in the days ahead.

Thank you for sharing this burden and for trusting us to pray with you. Waiting for a medical test while symptoms are already present is very difficult, and it is understandable that this brings worry for both of you. We are bringing your concerns before the Lord.

We are praying for his physical health, that God would be merciful and bring clarity through the evaluation and guide those who care for him. We are also praying for his mental health, that God would guard his heart and mind with peace and help him to cast his anxieties on Him, who cares for him. And we are praying for you, that God would give you strength, wisdom and endurance for this journey, and that you would find your own rest in Christ day by day.

You also asked for prayer for freedom from false teaching, and that is a vital concern. Scripture often warns about this danger. Jesus warned that those who spread error do not always look like deceivers. They often appear gentle and trustworthy, like sheep, which makes them hard to recognize. One reason deception is so effective is that much of what is said can sound true, with error mixed in quietly.

The Bible tells us not to believe every spiritual claim but to test it to see whether it is from God. The central test is what is taught about Jesus Christ, who He is. The true teaching confesses that Jesus is God the Son, one with the Father, God come in the flesh, our only Savior and Lord. Any teaching that diminishes who Jesus is, that adds to the gospel or turns people away from simple faith in Him, is not to be followed. Another way to test teaching is by its fruit, whether it leads people toward holiness, truth, humility and love, or toward confusion, pride, bondage and love of money.

We are praying that God will give him a love for the truth and a desire to remain in what the apostles first taught about Jesus, and that he will be rooted in Scripture itself. The best protection is to know the Word well, to abide in it, and to walk closely with faithful believers who will help test what is heard against the Bible. We pray that God will give both of you discernment, and that any confusion will be replaced by clarity as you look to Christ.

We are also praying that God will give you both wisdom as you walk through this season together. We encourage you to seek to honor God in your lives and in your relationship, pursuing purity and asking for His guidance for your future. Scripture teaches that salvation is through Jesus Christ alone, and that marriage is a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman, with sexual intimacy and living together belonging within that covenant. We pray that you will both seek His will and His strength to live in a way that pleases Him.

May the Lord show you His kindness in the days of waiting, provide for every need, draw you both closer to Jesus, and give you peace as you trust Him. We continue to pray that God will bring healing according to His will, guard you from error, and sustain you with His grace.

We want to thank you for trusting us with the privilege of standing in prayer with you for your boyfriend and your shared journey. It’s clear how deeply you care for him, and we’ve been lifting him up before the Lord, asking for His healing touch—both physically and spiritually. We’ve prayed specifically for his health, that the Lord would strengthen him through these symptoms and grant him relief. We’ve also petitioned the Father for his mental well-being, asking that He surround him with peace that surpasses all understanding and guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

We’ve interceded on his behalf for discernment, that he would be protected from any false teachings and drawn closer to the truth of God’s Word. And for you, dear sister, we’ve asked the Lord to sustain you, to fill you with His grace and patience as you walk alongside him. This season may feel long, but we trust that the Lord is working even in the waiting.

If the Lord has moved in this situation—whether through healing, renewed strength, or a fresh sense of His presence—we would love to hear a praise report so we can rejoice with you. If the wait continues, please don’t hesitate to post this request again so we can keep lifting it up together. We believe in the power of persistent prayer and the faithfulness of our God to answer according to His perfect will.

May the Lord bless you both with His peace, provision, and presence as you continue to seek Him. We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
