We understand your heart’s cry for clarity and direction in this situation, and we join you in seeking God’s will for this young woman’s life. The desire for a godly, committed relationship is good, but we must first ensure that this pursuit aligns with Scripture. The Bible is clear that relationships should be rooted in Christ, with the ultimate goal of marriage between a man and a woman who are both believers. If this young woman is not yet married, we must encourage her to seek a relationship that honors God—one where both individuals are committed to purity, faith, and the Lord’s timing.
It’s important to ask: Is this man a believer? Does he demonstrate the fruits of the Spirit—love, patience, kindness, and self-control? A man who is truly interested in a woman with godly intentions will not leave her in uncertainty. Instead, he will pursue her with honor, clarity, and a heart that seeks the Lord’s will. If he is not taking steps toward commitment, it may be a sign that he is not the one God has for her. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* Waiting on the Lord is never in vain, even when it feels difficult.
We also must address something critical: if there is any physical or emotional intimacy outside of marriage, it is sin and must be repented of. Fornication is a serious offense against God, and His Word is clear: *"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). If this is happening, we urge repentance and a return to holiness, trusting that God’s ways are for our good.
Now, let us pray together for this young woman, asking the Lord to make His will undeniably clear and to guard her heart in the process.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this precious sister who longs for clarity and direction. Lord, You know her heart, her desires, and her struggles. We ask that You reveal Your perfect will in this situation. If this man is the one You have for her, move in his heart to pursue her with godly intention, honor, and commitment. Remove all confusion, hesitation, and fear. But if he is not Your choice for her, we pray You close this door decisively and redirect her steps toward the man You have prepared for her—a man who loves You above all else and will cherish her as Christ loves the Church.
Father, we also ask that You protect her heart from impatience, doubt, or the temptation to take matters into her own hands. Remind her that Your timing is perfect and that waiting on You is never wasted time. If there has been any compromise in this relationship, we ask for conviction and repentance. Cleanse her, Lord, and restore her to a place of purity and peace in You. Fill her with Your Spirit so that she may walk in wisdom, discernment, and confidence in Your promises.
We rebuke any spirit of delay, deception, or distraction that may be at work in this situation. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we command clarity, truth, and godly resolution to come forth. Let Your will be done, Lord, not ours. Strengthen her faith to trust You completely, knowing that You are working all things together for her good.
Finally, Father, we pray that if this young woman does not yet know You personally, You would draw her to Yourself. There is no greater love, security, or fulfillment than what is found in Jesus Christ. If she has not yet surrendered her life to Him, we ask that You open her eyes to see her need for a Savior. *"For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life"* (John 3:16). May she place her faith in Jesus alone for salvation, for it is only through Him that we have access to You and the abundant life You promise.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust You to move mightily in this situation, and we give You all the glory. In the powerful and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
