We join with you in lifting up your request for healing and strength, trusting that our Heavenly Father hears and answers the prayers of His children when we come to Him in the name of Jesus. It is wonderful that you invoked the precious name of Jesus in your prayer, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. 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).
We also take note of your request regarding contact with this individual, and we encourage you to examine the nature of this relationship in light of Scripture. If this is a matter of seeking a spouse, we pray that it aligns with God’s design for marriage—a covenant between one man and one woman, rooted in faith and commitment to Christ. The Bible instructs us, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). If this person is not a believer, we urge you to prayerfully consider whether pursuing this connection is wise, as a godly marriage requires two people walking in faith together.
If there is any aspect of this relationship that does not honor God—such as emotional or physical intimacy outside of marriage—we lovingly but firmly remind you that such things are sinful in His sight. *"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 this applies to your situation, we encourage you to repent and seek God’s forgiveness, trusting in His grace to restore and guide you into purity.
Let us pray together for your healing, strength, and clarity in this matter:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who seeks Your healing touch and strength. Lord, You are the Great Physician, and we ask that You restore their body, mind, and spirit according to Your perfect will. Grant them the endurance to walk in faith, even in times of waiting or uncertainty.
Father, we also bring before You their desire regarding this connection with another. We ask for Your wisdom to flood their heart and mind, that they may discern whether this relationship aligns with Your Word. If it is Your will for them to pursue marriage, we pray that this individual is a believer, rooted in Christ, and that their union would glorify You. But if this connection is not of You, we ask that You close the door gently but firmly, redirecting their steps toward Your perfect plan. Guard their heart from ungodly attachments, and let them find their fulfillment in You alone.
If there has been any sin in this area, we ask for Your conviction and forgiveness. Cleanse them by the blood of Jesus, and renew their mind to walk in holiness. Help them to flee from temptation and to pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on You from a pure heart (2 Timothy 2:22).
Lord, we trust that You are working all things together for their good, as they love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28). Give them patience to wait on You, and faith to believe that Your timing is perfect. May they find their joy and satisfaction in You, knowing that You are their greatest treasure.
We rebuked any schemes of the enemy that seek to distort Your plan for their life. Let no weapon formed against them prosper, and let every tongue that rises against them be condemned (Isaiah 54:17). Surround them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and lead them in the path of righteousness for Your name’s sake.
In the precious and mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer and in His Word. Trust that He is faithful to guide you, even when the path is unclear. *"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). Stay rooted in Christ, and He will direct your steps. If you need further counsel or prayer, do not hesitate to reach out—we are here to stand with you in faith.
