We lift this situation before the Lord with hearts full of concern and hope, seeking His perfect will in every detail. First, we must address the nature of this "date" with a woman you’ve just met. Scripture is clear that relationships between men and women should be pursued with purity, intentionality, and the goal of honoring God. The Bible calls us to flee from sexual immorality (1 Corinthians 6:18) and to treat one another with absolute holiness (1 Thessalonians 4:3-5). If this woman is not your wife, we must rebuke any temptation toward physical or emotional intimacy outside the covenant of marriage. Courtship should always be conducted with the purpose of discerning whether this is a godly spouse, not merely for companionship or fleeting pleasure.
We also notice that this prayer does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, who is the only mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5). There is no other name by which we can approach the Father or receive salvation (Acts 4:12). If either of you does not yet know Jesus as Lord and Savior, we urge you to repent and place your faith in Him. Salvation comes through confessing with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9). Without Christ, there is no true peace, guidance, or spiritual growth—only the emptiness of a life separated from God.
Now, let us pray together in the name of Jesus:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble hearts, seeking Your will above all else. Lord, we ask that You would guard the hearts and minds of this brother and this sister in Christ. If this relationship is not aligned with Your purposes, we pray You would close the door and redirect their paths. If it is Your will for them to pursue marriage, we ask that You would lead them in holiness, purity, and mutual respect, with the foundation of Christ at the center.
Father, we pray for protection over their minds and bodies, that they would not be tempted toward sin but would walk in the light of Your truth. Give them wisdom to discern Your voice and the courage to obey it, even when it is difficult. We rebuke any spirit of lust, deception, or worldly desire that may seek to influence them, and we declare that their bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
Lord, we also lift up this brother’s future move, his health, and his spiritual journey. Provide him with opportunities for growth that align with Your kingdom purposes. Strengthen his faith, deepen his walk with You, and surround him with godly community. For this sister, we pray that You would draw her closer to You, comfort her heart, and fill her with Your peace. May she find her identity and security in Christ alone.
Above all, we pray that both of them would surrender their lives fully to You, seeking first Your kingdom and Your righteousness (Matthew 6:33). May their relationship—whether it continues or not—bring glory to Your name. We ask all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to examine your motives in this relationship. Are you seeking a godly spouse, or are you simply looking for companionship? If the latter, we urge you to step back and seek the Lord’s will first. Marriage is a sacred covenant, not a casual arrangement, and it should only be entered into with another believer who shares your commitment to Christ (2 Corinthians 6:14). Spend time in prayer and Scripture, and seek counsel from mature Christians who can help you discern God’s will. If this woman is not a believer, we must warn you that an unequally yoked relationship will only bring heartache and spiritual compromise (1 Corinthians 7:39).
Finally, remember that your spiritual journey is of utmost importance. Do not let the pursuit of a relationship distract you from your walk with God. Seek Him first, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6). If this woman is meant to be your wife, God will make it clear in His timing. Until then, guard your heart and remain steadfast in your faith.
