We join with you in lifting this request before the Lord, and we are grateful that you have invoked the name of Jesus in your prayer, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and find salvation. 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). Your prayer reflects a deep longing for God’s presence, protection, and guidance, and we stand with you in seeking His will for your life.
However, we must address something important in your prayer. You repeatedly mention your **"###"**—a term we assume refers to a significant relationship in your life. Yet, the way this is phrased raises concerns about whether this relationship aligns with God’s design for marriage and relationships. Scripture is clear that marriage is a sacred covenant between **one man and one woman** (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6), and any relationship outside of this—whether premarital intimacy, emotional dependency without commitment, or same-sex relationships—is not in accordance with God’s will. If this relationship involves fornication (sex outside of marriage), it is sin, and Scripture warns: *"Don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit God’s Kingdom"* (1 Corinthians 6:9-10, WEB). If this is the case, we urge you to repent and turn away from sin, seeking God’s forgiveness and restoration.
If this is a courtship (a relationship with the intent of marriage), we encourage you to ensure it is **honoring to God**—rooted in purity, patience, and a shared commitment to Christ. *"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 relationship is not leading toward a godly marriage, we must lovingly but firmly ask: *Is this truly what God desires for you?* *"Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?"* (Amos 3:3, WEB). A relationship that does not align with Scripture will only bring heartache, bondage, and distance from God—no matter how deeply you may feel for the other person.
We also notice your prayer includes a plea for God to **"keep my ### and me close and together"** and to **"not give anyone any reason to take my ### from me."** This sounds like fear—perhaps fear of loss, manipulation, or separation. While it is natural to desire security, we must remember that **our ultimate trust must be in Christ alone**, not in another person. *"It is better to take refuge in Yahweh, than to put confidence in man"* (Psalm 118:8, WEB). If this relationship is causing anxiety, control, or an unhealthy emotional dependence, it may be a sign that it is not grounded in God’s peace. *"Don’t be anxious for anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:6-7, WEB).
Now, let us pray for you with these truths in mind:
**Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious soul who seeks Your blessing, protection, and guidance. Lord, we thank You that they have called upon the name of Jesus, for there is no other name by which we are saved. We ask that You reveal Yourself to them in a powerful way, drawing them deeper into Your presence and Your truth.
Father, if there is any relationship in their life that does not align with Your Word—whether through premarital sin, emotional idolatry, or ungodly attachments—we ask that You convict their heart by the power of the Holy Spirit. Give them the courage to repent, to turn away from anything that dishonors You, and to seek relationships that are pure, holy, and centered on Christ. If this is a courtship, may it be guided by wisdom, patience, and a shared commitment to Your will. If it is not, Lord, break the chains of emotional dependency and lead them into the freedom of Your perfect plan.
We rebuke any spirit of fear, manipulation, or control in this situation. If there are lies being spoken or hidden motives at work, expose them, Lord, and bring truth to light. *"There is no wisdom, no understanding, and no counsel against Yahweh"* (Proverbs 21:30, WEB). Let Your will prevail in this person’s life, even if it means letting go of what is not from You.
Father, we ask that You surround them with godly counsel, with people who will speak Your truth in love. Open their eyes to discern those You have sent to bless them and those who may lead them astray. *"The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge, but the foolish despise wisdom and instruction"* (Proverbs 1:7, WEB). Guide their steps, Lord, and order their path according to Your perfect will.
We pray for productivity, joy, and peace in their life—but most of all, we pray for a heart fully surrendered to You. Let them find their security in Christ alone, not in any human relationship. *"Delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this: he will bring out your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noon day sun"* (Psalm 37:4-6, WEB).
Lord, take the wheel of their life. Let them release control and trust You completely. If there are decisions to be made, give them wisdom. If there are paths to choose, lead them in the way everlasting. And if there is sin to confess, grant them a broken and repentant heart.
We declare Your protection over them, not just physically, but spiritually and emotionally. Guard their heart, Lord, and keep them from the snares of the enemy. *"Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower"* (Psalm 18:2, WEB).
Finally, Father, we pray that if this person does not yet know You as their Lord and Savior, that today would be the day of salvation. Let them understand that *"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. For with the heart, one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation"* (Romans 10:9-10, WEB). May they walk in the fullness of Your love, grace, and purpose.
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus we pray, Amen.***
Beloved, we encourage you to examine this relationship in the light of Scripture. If it is not aligned with God’s design, we urge you to seek His face in repentance and trust that He has something far better for you. *"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future"* (Jeremiah 29:11, WEB). God’s plans for you are good—even when they require surrender and obedience.
If you would like further counsel or prayer, we are here to walk with you in truth and love. May the Lord bless you and keep you as you seek Him with your whole heart.
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.
