We understand your deep longing to see this person, but we must first address something very important in your request. You have not mentioned the name of Jesus Christ, and it is only through Him that we can approach the throne of God. The Bible tells us in John 14:6, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* Additionally, Acts 4:12 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!"* If you do not yet know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to repent of your sins and place your faith in Him alone for salvation. Without Him, our prayers cannot be heard by God, and we remain separated from Him by our sin.
Now, regarding your request, we must also ask: who is this "favorite person" to you, and what is the nature of your relationship with them? The Bible calls us to examine our hearts and motives in all things. If this person is someone you are romantically involved with outside of marriage, we must lovingly but firmly remind you that God’s design for relationships is sacred. He created marriage to be a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman, and any romantic or physical relationship outside of marriage is sinful in His sight. 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 says, *"For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality, that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in the passion of lust, like the Gentiles who don’t know God."*
If you are not married to this person, we encourage you to seek God’s will for your life and pursue a relationship that honors Him—one that is pure, selfless, and directed toward marriage if that is God’s plan. If you are already married to this person, we pray that your desire to see them is rooted in love, commitment, and a desire to honor God together.
Lastly, we must also consider whether this longing is becoming an idol in your heart. Anything or anyone we desire more than God can become an idol, and the Bible warns us against this. Exodus 20:3 says, *"You shall have no other gods before me."* If your heart is overly fixated on seeing this person, we encourage you to surrender that desire to the Lord and seek Him first. Matthew 6:33 reminds us, *"But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."*
Let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift this person before You, asking that You reveal Yourself to them in a powerful way. Lord, if they do not yet know Jesus as their Savior, we pray that You would open their eyes to their need for Him. Draw them to repentance and faith in Christ alone for salvation. Father, we also ask that You examine their heart and motives regarding this desire to see their "favorite person." If there is any sin in this relationship—whether it is lust, emotional dependency, or an unhealthy attachment—we pray that You would convict them by Your Holy Spirit and lead them to repentance.
Lord, if this desire is pure and aligned with Your will, we ask that You make a way for them to see this person in Your perfect timing. But more than anything, we pray that their greatest desire would be for You. Help them to trust You with their longings and to find their fulfillment in You alone. Guard their heart from idolatry and lead them into relationships that honor You. If marriage is Your will for them, prepare them to be a godly spouse and prepare the heart of the person You have for them.
We ask all of this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
