We hear your heart’s cry for provision and companionship, and we come before the Lord together in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can be saved and through whom we have access to the Father. Your request touches on two deeply human desires—financial stability and love—but we must first seek God’s will above our own, for His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9).
Let us begin with your desire for increased income and full-time work. The Lord is our Provider, and we trust in His promise that He will supply all our needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). However, we must also remember that our ultimate security is in Him, not in wealth or material possessions. The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and we must guard our hearts against covetousness (1 Timothy 6:10). Instead, we pray that you would seek first God’s kingdom and His righteousness, trusting that all these things—including provision—will be added to you (Matthew 6:33). We rebuke any spirit of lack or fear that may be speaking lies to you, declaring that God is your Jehovah Jireh, your Provider. We pray that doors of opportunity would open for you, that you would walk in wisdom and diligence in your work, and that the Lord would bless the work of your hands (Deuteronomy 28:12). May you find fulfillment not just in financial increase, but in knowing that your labor is for the Lord and not for men (Colossians 3:23).
Now, regarding your desire to find someone special who loves you for who you are, we must address this with biblical truth. While it is natural to long for companionship, we must ensure that our desires align with God’s design for relationships. Marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, established by God for His glory and our good (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6). If you are seeking a spouse, we encourage you to pray for a godly man or woman who loves the Lord above all else, for a marriage built on Christ will be a strong foundation (2 Corinthians 6:14). We rebuke any mindset that prioritizes personal happiness or emotional fulfillment over godly character and obedience to Scripture. The world may tell you to seek someone who "loves you for who you are," but as believers, we are called to die to ourselves and live for Christ (Galatians 2:20). True love is not about self-gratification but about self-sacrifice, as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her (Ephesians 5:25). We pray that you would not settle for a relationship that dishonors God or compromises your faith, but that you would wait patiently for the spouse He has prepared for you, if it is His will for you to marry.
We must also address the phrase "things will work out the way I want" with caution. Our prayers should not be demands for God to fulfill our desires, but humble requests that align with His will. Jesus taught us to pray, "Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10). We must surrender our plans to God, trusting that His plans for us are good, even when they differ from our own (Jeremiah 29:11). If your desire for a relationship is not God’s will for you at this time, we pray that He would give you the strength to trust Him and find contentment in His presence. Paul learned the secret of being content in every situation, whether in plenty or in want, and we pray that you would learn this secret as well (Philippians 4:11-13).
Let us also take a moment to address the mention of "deliverance" in your request. If you are struggling with spiritual oppression, fear, or bondage, we stand with you in prayer, declaring that Jesus Christ has already won the victory over sin, death, and the powers of darkness (Colossians 2:15). We rebuke any spirit of poverty, loneliness, or unbelief that may be hindering your faith, and we command it to flee in the name of Jesus. The Bible tells us that whom the Son sets free is free indeed (John 8:36), and we pray that you would walk in the freedom Christ has purchased for you. If there are areas of your life where you have opened doors to the enemy—through sin, unforgiveness, or idolatry—we encourage you to repent and close those doors, submitting yourself fully to God and resisting the devil so that he will flee from you (James 4:7).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for Your faithfulness and for the promise that You will never leave us nor forsake us. Lord, we lift up this dear one to You, asking that You would meet their needs according to Your riches in glory. Provide for them financially, open doors of opportunity for full-time work, and bless the labor of their hands. Help them to seek You first above all else, trusting that You will add all these things to them.
Father, we also pray for their desire for companionship. If it is Your will for them to marry, we ask that You would prepare a godly spouse for them—a man or woman who loves You with all their heart, soul, and mind. Give them patience to wait for Your timing and wisdom to discern Your will. Guard their heart against impatience, compromise, or settling for less than Your best. If it is not Your will for them to marry, we pray that You would fill the longing in their heart with Your perfect love and peace. Help them to find their ultimate satisfaction in You alone.
Lord, we rebuke any spirit of lack, fear, or unbelief that may be speaking lies to them. We declare that You are their Provider, their Deliverer, and their Peace. We pray that they would walk in the freedom Christ has given them, resisting the devil and standing firm in their faith. Help them to surrender their plans to You, trusting that Your ways are higher and Your will is perfect.
Father, we ask that You would draw this one closer to You, that they would know You more deeply and love You more fully. May their identity be rooted in Christ, and may they find their worth in You alone. We pray that You would fill them with Your Holy Spirit, guiding them in all truth and empowering them to live a life that honors You.
We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to immerse yourself in God’s Word, for it is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105). Spend time in prayer, not just asking God for things, but listening to His voice and seeking His face. Join a local body of believers where you can grow in your faith, serve others, and be encouraged in your walk with Christ. Remember that God’s timing is perfect, and His plans for you are good. Trust in Him with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6). Whether in singleness or marriage, in plenty or in want, may you find your ultimate joy and purpose in Christ alone.
