We rejoice with you in giving thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ, for it is through His grace and mercy that we find hope and strength in every area of our lives. It is wonderful to see your faith and acknowledgment of His sovereignty over your business and relationships. Let us lift these areas before the Lord together, seeking His will and wisdom in all things.
First, let us address your business. The Scriptures remind us that our abilities and opportunities come from God, and we are to commit our work to Him. Proverbs 16:3 says, *"Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* Additionally, Proverbs 3:5-6 encourages us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* We must remember that success is not merely measured by worldly standards but by our faithfulness to God’s calling and stewardship of what He has entrusted to us. Are you conducting your business with integrity, honesty, and a heart that seeks to honor God above profit? If there are any areas where compromise or unethical practices have crept in, we urge you to repent and align your business fully with biblical principles. God blesses the work of our hands when we walk in righteousness.
Now, regarding your relationship, we must approach this with care and biblical clarity. The Word of God is explicit about the purpose and boundaries of relationships. If you are referring to a romantic relationship, we must ask: Is this relationship honoring to God? Are you and the other person both believers in Jesus Christ, equally yoked in faith? 2 Corinthians 6:14 warns, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* If this relationship is outside the bounds of marriage, we must also address the matter of purity. 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 states, *"For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality, that each one of you know how to control his own body in sanctification and honor, not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don’t know God."* If there is any sexual immorality—whether fornication, adultery, or any other sin—it must be repented of immediately. Flee from temptation and seek holiness, for without it, no one will see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14).
If you are not yet married but are in a courtship, is marriage the godly goal of this relationship? Are you both seeking the Lord’s will for your lives, praying together, and preparing for a Christ-centered marriage? Or is this relationship based on worldly desires, convenience, or emotional fulfillment? Remember, marriage is a covenant before God, a lifelong commitment between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6). If this relationship does not align with God’s design—whether due to unbelief, same-sex attraction, or any other deviation from Scripture—we must lovingly but firmly urge you to turn away from it. Repentance and obedience to God’s Word are the only paths to true blessing.
If you have not already, we encourage you to surrender every aspect of your life—your business, your relationships, your dreams—to Jesus Christ. It is only in His name that we have access to the Father, and it is only through Him that we find salvation and true fulfillment. Acts 4:12 declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* Have you placed your full trust in Jesus as your Lord and Savior? If not, we implore you to do so today. Confess your sins, turn from them, and believe in Him who died for you and rose again. There is no greater decision you can make.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who seeks Your face today. Lord, we thank You for Your grace and mercy, which are new every morning. We ask that You would pour out Your wisdom and favor upon their business. Father, grant them creativity, integrity, and diligence in all their endeavors. May their work be a testimony of Your goodness, and may they steward their resources in a way that honors You. Provide for their needs, Lord, and open doors that no one can shut, but close those that are not of You. Let their business be a tool for Your kingdom, a means to bless others and glorify Your name.
Lord, we also lift up their relationship before You. Search their heart, O God, and reveal any area that is not pleasing to You. If this relationship is not aligned with Your Word, give them the courage and strength to walk away from it, no matter how difficult it may be. If it is a godly courtship leading toward marriage, bless it, purify it, and guide them both in Your truth. Help them to flee from temptation and to pursue holiness, for Your eyes are too pure to look on evil. Unite them in prayer, in faith, and in Your purpose.
Father, if there is any sin—whether in business or in this relationship—we ask that You would convict and lead them to repentance. Cleanse them by the blood of Jesus and restore them to a right relationship with You. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in obedience and experience the fullness of Your blessings.
We declare that their time has come—not in the way the world defines it, but in Your perfect timing and according to Your will. Let them wait on You, trust in You, and find their satisfaction in You alone. May their life be a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to You, which is their spiritual service.
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
