We come before the Lord with hearts full of compassion for your many burdens, and we lift you up in prayer, knowing that our God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us (Ephesians 3:20). Yet we must also speak truth in love, for God’s Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path (Psalm 119:105). Let us address each of these requests with biblical wisdom, prayer, and where necessary, loving correction.
First, we rejoice that you are bringing your needs before the Lord, for He cares deeply for you (1 Peter 5:7). However, we notice that in your many prayers, the name of Jesus is not invoked. This is not a small matter, for Scripture is clear: *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5). It is only through faith in His name that we have access to the Father (John 14:6, Ephesians 2:18). Without Jesus, our prayers are empty—like casting seeds on barren ground. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ as Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today. *"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). There is no greater need than this, for what does it profit a person to gain all these earthly things but lose their soul? (Mark 8:36).
Now, let us address your requests one by one, beginning with your health. The Lord is our healer (Exodus 15:26), and we ask Him to touch your body with His restoring power. For your scoliosis and the tear in your back, we pray for divine healing, that every ligament and bone would align with His perfect design. For your left toe, we ask that the Lord would regenerate what has been lost, for nothing is too hard for Him (Jeremiah 32:27). Even your teeth—though science may say otherwise—we pray for restoration, for the God who formed man from the dust can surely renew what has decayed (Genesis 2:7). Yet we also encourage you to seek wise medical care, for the Lord often works through the hands of doctors (Colossians 4:14). As for your desire to remove mental illness from your records, we pray for complete emotional and mental wholeness in Jesus’ name, that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, would guard your heart and mind (Philippians 4:7). If there are records that unjustly label you, we ask the Lord to open doors for correction, but even more, we pray for true freedom in Christ, who breaks every chain (Isaiah 61:1).
Regarding your prayer for a new home, job, and car, we lift these needs before the Lord, asking Him to provide *"every good and perfect gift"* (James 1:17). Yet we also remind you that God’s timing is perfect, and His ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:9). Seek first His kingdom and righteousness, and *"all these things will be added to you"* (Matthew 6:33). Trust that He knows your needs before you ask (Matthew 6:8), and wait upon Him with patience, for *"the Lord is good to those who wait for him"* (Lamentations 3:25).
Now, we must speak with clarity and love about your relationship. You mention praying for *"the guy I’m dating"* to change his mind about wanting to be with more than one woman. Beloved, this is not a matter to pray over lightly—this is sin. The Word of God is unequivocal: *"Flee from sexual immorality!"* (1 Corinthians 6:18). A man who pursues multiple women is not walking in godliness but in the lusts of the flesh (1 John 2:16). Scripture commands that an overseer (and by extension, any man of God) must be *"the husband of one wife"* (1 Timothy 3:2). If this man is unrepentant in his desire for multiple partners, he is not a man you should be yoked with (2 Corinthians 6:14). You deserve a husband who loves you *"as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her"* (Ephesians 5:25)—a man who is faithful, pure, and committed to biblical marriage. We pray that if this man’s heart is hardened, the Lord would convict him deeply, but we also urge you: do not settle for less than God’s best. If this relationship is not rooted in Christ and His design for marriage, it is better to walk away than to bind yourself to unrighteousness. *"Do not be deceived: ‘Bad company ruins good morals’"* (1 Corinthians 15:33). We pray that the Lord would either transform this man’s heart or lead you to a godly husband who will cherish you as Christ does the church.
As for your prayer about *"the man upstairs"* attacking you—beloved, there is no "man upstairs." There is only the sovereign, holy God of the Bible, who is love (1 John 4:8). If you are sensing spiritual attack, know that *"our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against... the spiritual forces of evil"* (Ephesians 6:12). Put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18), and resist the devil, knowing he must flee (James 4:7). But do not blame God for what the enemy intends for harm—our Father gives only good gifts (Matthew 7:11).
Finally, you pray for peace, love, joy, and happiness. True peace is found only in Christ (John 14:27), true love is defined by His sacrifice (1 John 4:10), and joy is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22)—not dependent on circumstances but rooted in Him. Happiness may come and go, but *"the joy of the Lord is your strength"* (Nehemiah 8:10). We pray that you would abide in Him, for apart from Jesus, you can do nothing (John 15:5).

**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we lift this precious sister before Your throne of grace, asking that You would meet her in every need—spiritually, physically, and emotionally. Lord, we pray first and foremost that if she does not know You as Savior, You would draw her to Yourself today. Open her eyes to see Jesus as the only way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6), and may she surrender fully to Him.
We ask for Your healing touch upon her body—her back, her toe, her teeth, every cell and bone. You are Jehovah-Rapha, the God who heals (Exodus 15:26). Restore what has been broken, align what is crooked, and renew her strength like the eagle’s (Isaiah 40:31). Give her wisdom to steward her health well, seeking both divine intervention and godly medical care.
Father, we pray for provision—a home, a job, a car—according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). Help her to trust You as her Provider, knowing that You see her needs and will supply them in Your perfect timing.
Lord, we come against the spiritual attacks she faces. Clothe her in Your armor, and let no weapon formed against her prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Break every lie of the enemy and fill her with Your peace that guards her heart and mind.
Now, Father, we address her relationship. If this man is walking in sin, convict him deeply. Soften his heart to repentance, or if he remains hardened, sever this ungodly tie. Do not let her be unequally yoked (2 Corinthians 6:14). Instead, Lord, prepare a godly husband for her—a man after Your own heart, who will lead her spiritually and love her sacrificially. Until then, give her the strength to walk in purity and patience, trusting You with her future.
We rebuke any fear, anxiety, or despair in her life. Fill her with Your joy, Your love, and Your hope. Let her mind be renewed by Your Word (Romans 12:2), and may she find her identity in Christ alone.
Lastly, Father, we pray that every request she brings before You would be aligned with Your will, and that she would seek Your kingdom above all else. Teach her to pray in Jesus’ name, for it is only through Him that we have access to You (John 16:23-24). May her life be a testimony of Your faithfulness.
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
