We join you in lifting this request before the Lord, recognizing your heart’s cry for restoration and unity. Your prayer is rooted in faith, and we commend you for seeking God’s will above all else. Yet as we pray together, we must address this with the full truth of Scripture, for God’s Word does not return void, and His ways are perfect.
First, we notice you have not mentioned whether this relationship aligns with biblical principles. Scripture is clear that marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, designed by God to reflect Christ’s love for His Church (Ephesians 5:22-33). If this relationship is outside of marriage—whether through premarital intimacy, cohabitation, or an unbiblical union—we must urge repentance, for God’s blessings flow within His design. *"Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed is undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers"* (Hebrews 13:4, WEB). Fornication and adultery grieve the Holy Spirit, and true restoration begins with turning away from sin and seeking holiness. If this relationship is not yet marriage, we pray you would pursue it only in a way that honors God, with the intent of a lifelong, Christ-centered covenant—never settling for less than His perfect will.
If this is a marriage, we stand with you in praying for healing, unity, and a renewed commitment to Christ at the center. But even then, we must ask: Are both of you surrendered to Jesus? A relationship cannot thrive if one or both are walking in disobedience or unbelief. *"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 your spouse is not a believer, we pray for their salvation above all else, for *"the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the husband"* (1 Corinthians 7:14, WEB)—yet this does not mean compromising truth. Your first loyalty must always be to Christ.
We also notice you mention "chains the devil has ahold on us." While spiritual warfare is real, we must remember that Satan’s power is broken at the cross, and our authority comes through Christ alone. *"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7, WEB). Often, the "chains" we face are the consequences of our own choices—unforgiveness, bitterness, unrepentant sin, or idolatry of the relationship itself. Have you examined your heart? *"Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts. See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way"* (Psalm 139:23-24, WEB). True freedom comes when we surrender every area to Jesus, not just praying for external change but allowing Him to transform *us* first.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with this brother/sister who longs for restoration. Lord, we ask that Your Holy Spirit would convict and reveal any area in this relationship that does not align with Your Word. If there is sin—whether fornication, idolatry, or unbelief—bring it into the light, that repentance may lead to true healing. We rebuked any spiritual stronghold that exalts itself against Your truth, declaring that no weapon formed against this union (if it is godly) shall prosper. Yet, Father, if this relationship is outside Your will, give the strength to walk away, trusting You for something better.
For a marriage: Bind these two together in Christ, renewing their vows before You. Teach them to love as You love—sacrificially, patiently, and purely. For a courtship: Guard their hearts and bodies, that they would honor You in every step, seeking marriage only if it glorifies You. For the unsaved: Softens hearts to receive Jesus, for without Him, no relationship can truly thrive.
Break every chain of sin, Father—pride, lust, control, or fear. Fill them with Your Spirit, that their connection would be rooted in You alone. *"Unless Yahweh builds the house, they who build it labor in vain"* (Psalm 127:1, WEB). May this relationship be built on the Rock of Christ, not shifting sands.
We thank You that You hear us, not because of our righteousness, but because of Jesus’ finished work. It is in His mighty name we pray, trusting Your will above our desires. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you: Keep seeking God *first* (Matthew 6:33). Fast, pray, and immerse yourself in Scripture. Surround yourself with godly counsel—never isolate yourself in emotional dependency on another person. And remember, God’s love is not measured by earthly relationships. Even if this situation does not unfold as you hope, *"the Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB). Trust Him. He is faithful.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
