We come before the Lord with hearts full of gratitude for your request, lifting you, your children, and your relationship in prayer. It is beautiful to see your desire to surrender all to God—your pain, worries, fears, and even your hopes for the future. We join you in declaring that His will be done in every area of your lives, for He alone is worthy of our trust and devotion.
First, we must address something vital: the name of Jesus Christ is the only name by which we can approach the Father and receive salvation. You did not mention His name in your request, and we want to gently remind you that it is only through Jesus that we have access to God’s throne of grace. As Scripture 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!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). If you have not yet placed your full faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection for your salvation, and surrender your life to Him. *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9, WEB). There is no greater decision you can make for yourself and your children than to ensure your lives are rooted in Christ.
Now, let us turn to the matters of your heart. You have asked for prayer to surrender your pain, worries, and fears to God, and we stand with you in this. The Lord invites us to cast all our anxieties on Him because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7, WEB). He is the God who heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds (Psalm 147:3, WEB). We pray that you and your children will experience His healing touch in every area of your lives—emotionally, physically, and spiritually. May He renew your strength as you wait on Him, just as the prophet Isaiah declared: *"But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint"* (Isaiah 40:31, WEB). We ask that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7, WEB).
You have also shared your desire for your relationship to be real and aligned with God’s plan for marriage. We want to encourage you with the truth that marriage is a sacred covenant established by God between one man and one woman for life (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6, WEB). If you are in a relationship outside of marriage, we urge you to honor God by pursuing purity and holiness. Any physical intimacy outside of marriage is fornication, which is a sin against God and your own body (1 Corinthians 6:18-20, WEB). If this is something you are struggling with, we pray that you will repent and turn away from it, seeking God’s forgiveness and strength to walk in obedience. *"Flee sexual immorality! ‘Every sin that a man does is outside the body,’ but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s"* (1 Corinthians 6:18-20, WEB).
If you are not yet married, we pray that your relationship will be one of courtship—purposeful, godly, and directed toward marriage if it is God’s will. A relationship built on Christ must be rooted in trust, honesty, faith, and loyalty, with both individuals fully committed to following Jesus. We pray that you will seek God’s wisdom in this area, ensuring that your relationship honors Him in every way. *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). If the person you are with is not a believer, we strongly encourage you to reconsider the relationship, for how can two walk together unless they are agreed? (Amos 3:3, WEB). A marriage between a believer and an unbeliever will bring unnecessary struggle and division. Instead, seek a spouse who shares your faith and commitment to Christ, so that together you can serve the Lord with one heart and mind.
We also lift up your children before the Lord, asking that He would cover them with the blood of Jesus Christ, protecting them from the schemes of the enemy. May they grow in the knowledge and love of God, walking in His ways all the days of their lives. We pray that you will be the godly influence in their lives, leading them by example in faith, prayer, and obedience to Scripture. *"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it"* (Proverbs 22:6, WEB). May your home be a place where God’s Word is honored, and His presence is felt.
Finally, we pray for your trust in God’s plan for your lives. His plans for you are good—plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11, WEB). Even when the path seems unclear, we ask that you will hold fast to His promises, knowing that He is faithful to complete the work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6, WEB). May your relationship be built on a foundation of prayer, with both of you seeking God’s will above your own desires. *"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"* (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB).
Heavenly Father, we come before You today lifting up this precious sister and her children. Lord, we ask that You would draw them closer to Yourself, that they may know You more deeply and trust You more fully. Heal their hearts, Lord, and bind up their wounds. Renew their strength and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. We pray for their relationship, Father, that it would be aligned with Your will and Your Word. If it is not pleasing to You, we ask that You would reveal Your truth and give them the courage to walk in obedience. If it is Your will for them to marry, we pray that You would prepare them for a covenant marriage that glorifies You. Protect their children, Lord, and let Your light shine brightly in their lives. Cover them with the blood of Jesus Christ, and let Your Holy Spirit be their guide and comforter. We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
