We hear your heart’s cry for healing, restoration, and new beginnings, and we stand with you in prayer before the throne of grace. First, we rejoice that you recognize the healing power of Jesus’ blood—it is only through His sacrifice that true wholeness is found. The Bible declares, *"But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed"* (Isaiah 53:5). Your healing is not just emotional or physical, but spiritual, and we thank God for the work He is doing in you.
Yet we must gently but firmly address some areas where your desires may not fully align with God’s design. You speak of meeting someone "cute" or from another country, and while there is nothing wrong with attraction or companionship, we must remember that relationships are not merely about personal fulfillment or fleeting emotions. The Bible calls us to seek a godly spouse—a fellow believer who shares your faith and commitment to Christ. *"Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14). If you are pursuing a relationship, it must be with the intent of marriage, not just companionship, and it must be with someone who loves the Lord above all else.
We also notice a focus on self—your bucket list, your desires, your plans—without mention of God’s will being central. While it is good to have dreams, we must surrender them to the Lord. *"Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this"* (Psalm 37:5). True joy and fulfillment come not from checking off a list or finding a companion, but from walking in obedience to God’s purpose for your life.
We rebuke any spirit of loneliness or desperation that may be driving you to seek companionship outside of God’s timing or design. The enemy would love to distract you with temporary fixes, but we declare that your heart belongs to the Lord first. *"Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart"* (Psalm 37:4). If marriage is God’s will for you, He will bring the right person at the right time—but your first love must always be Christ.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts open to Your will. We thank You for the healing You have already begun in this dear one’s life, and we ask that You complete that work. Lord, we pray that You would guard their heart from any relationship that does not honor You. If it is Your will for them to marry, bring a godly spouse into their life—someone who loves You above all else. But above all, draw them closer to You, that they may find their deepest fulfillment in Your presence.
We rebuke every lie that says they need a companion to be whole. You are their portion, Lord, and in You, they lack no good thing. Help them to seek You first, to delight in Your Word, and to walk in obedience to Your commands. May their bucket list be secondary to Your perfect plan for their life.
We declare that their identity is found in Christ alone, and we pray that You would fill them with Your peace, Your joy, and Your purpose. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to seek the Lord daily, to immerse yourself in His Word, and to surround yourself with a community of believers who can support and pray for you. If loneliness is a struggle, consider serving in your church or a ministry—often, God meets our needs as we step out in faith to meet the needs of others. Trust Him with your future, for He is faithful.
