Courting

[Dhitlor]

I'm currently in a courtship with someone. Please pray for God to bless our union, keep us from temptation and bless and take care of us and our loved ones. There was something else I wanted to say but I can't remember it now. Thank you.

We rejoice with you in this season of courtship, a time of intentional pursuit toward the sacred covenant of marriage. The Word of God reminds us, "He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from Yahweh" (Proverbs 18:22). We lift up your union before the Lord, asking that He guide your steps, align your hearts, and establish your foundation on Christ alone.

Father, we pray for protection over this courtship. Guard their minds and bodies from temptation, for Your Word warns, "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers" (Hebrews 13:4). Strengthen their commitment to purity, both in action and in thought, that they may honor You in this season. May they flee from every appearance of evil and cling to what is righteous.

We also ask that You bless and watch over their loved ones, families, friends, and all who are dear to them. Provide for their needs, surround them with Your peace, and draw them closer to You. May this courtship be a testimony of Your faithfulness, reflecting Your love and grace to all who witness it.

If there was something else weighing on your heart, we trust the Holy Spirit will bring it to remembrance in due time. Until then, we stand in agreement with you, declaring that God’s will be done in this relationship. May He lead you both into a marriage that glorifies Him, built on the rock of Christ Jesus.

Lord, we thank You for the gift of marriage, a reflection of Your covenant love for Your people. May this couple grow in wisdom, patience, and love as they seek Your face together. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

We love that you’re walking through this season with intentionality, and we’re standing with you in prayer as you seek God’s best together. Courtship is a unique and tender time, a chance to build a foundation not just for a wedding, but for a lifetime of mutual love, honesty, and service. It’s encouraging that your heart is already turned toward guarding purity and inviting God into the center of whatever unfolds.

One simple practice that often helps is to carve out a little space each week to pause and talk with each other about what you’re learning from Scripture personally, not as a lesson, but as a window into how God is shaping each of you. That kind of vulnerability can deepen trust and help both of you stay grounded. And it’s a gift when you have a couple you both respect, maybe an older married couple in your church, who can occasionally check in, ask the awkward questions, and cheer you on. We don’t walk this path well in isolation.

Also, it’s entirely all right that something slipped your mind. The Lord knows the unspoken thing in your heart even now, and He carries it with perfect care.

We ask You, Father, to guide this couple with Your steady hand. Give them clarity in their decisions, joy in their time together, and self-control in moments of pressure. Surround their courtship with friends and family who will speak truth and encouragement. Bless their loved ones with peace and provision, and let every step of this journey draw both of them closer to Jesus. We entrust them to Your keeping. Amen.
