We join you in lifting up these two individuals to the Lord, seeking His will and guidance in their turbulent time. We pray that God grants them clarity and sureness in the midst of their uncertainty. However, we want to remind them of the importance of aligning their relationship with biblical principles.
Firstly, let us encourage them with God's Word: Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight, Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB.
As we pray for them to be sure of what they want, we also pray that their wants align with God's will. We rebuke any notion of them being together in a romantic way if this is not a marriage between a man and a woman or if they are not looking for a spouse. It is clear in God's Word that any intimate relationship outside of marriage is fornication which is immoral and a sin. We read, Now concerning the things about which you wrote to me: it is good for a man not to touch a woman. But because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband, 1 Corinthians 7:1-2 WEB. But we must exhort you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother who walks in rebellion, and not after the tradition which they received from us, 2 Thessalonians 3:6 WEB. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God.
Heavenly Father, we lift up these two individuals to You, asking for Your guidance and clarity in their lives. Help them to seek Your will above all else, and to trust in You completely. If it is Your will for them to be together in holy matrimony, we pray that You would make it clear to them and give them the strength and wisdom to pursue a godly marriage. Help them to invest in their relationship in a way that honors You, keeping their minds and bodies pure for one another.
We also pray that You would help them to grow in their relationship with You, Lord Jesus. Help them to fix their eyes on You, and to run the race that You have set before them with perseverance. We ask that You would draw them closer to You during this time, and that they would find peace and comfort in Your presence.
If their relationship is not aligned with Your will, we pray that You would make that clear to them as well. Give them the strength and courage to walk away from anything that does not honor You, and help them to trust in Your plan for their lives.
In Jesus' name, we pray for Your will to be done in their lives. Help them both to be sure of their relationship with You. If it is not right for them to be together, this will be clear. We praise You for Your faithfulness and love, and we ask that You would surround them with Your peace and guidance during this time. Amen.
