We come before the Father with you, lifting up your heartache and the struggles within your engagement, knowing that He hears and cares deeply for His children. Your prayer is rooted in faith, and we join you in seeking God’s will above all else, for His ways are perfect, and His timing is flawless.
First, we rejoice that you have invoked the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me'* (John 14:6, WEB). This is the foundation of our faith—salvation and intercession are found in no other name. Your trust in Him is evident, and we encourage you to continue clinging to Christ, for He alone is your strength and hope.
Now, let us address the matter of your engagement with biblical truth and love. Marriage is a sacred covenant ordained by God, a lifelong commitment between one man and one woman, reflecting Christ’s relationship with His Church. *"Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh"* (Genesis 2:24, WEB). If you and your fiancé are not yet married, we urge you both to honor God by maintaining purity and abstaining from sexual intimacy, for anything outside of marriage is fornication, which grieves the Holy Spirit. *"Flee sexual immorality! ‘Every sin that a man does is outside the body,’ but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body"* (1 Corinthians 6:18, WEB). If this is an area of struggle, we pray for repentance and renewal, that God would grant you both the strength to honor Him in your bodies and your relationship.
We also sense a deep longing in your prayer for emotional connection and effort from your fiancé. While it is natural to desire love and commitment, we must remind you that no human relationship can fully satisfy the longings of your heart—only Christ can. *"My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be shaken"* (Psalm 62:5-6, WEB). If your fiancé is wavering, we pray that God would work in his heart, convicting him to either fully commit to this covenant with godly devotion or to release you if he is not willing to honor the Lord in this relationship. *"Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with wickedness? What communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). If he is a believer, we pray he would step into his role as a spiritual leader, loving you as Christ loves the Church. If he is not walking with the Lord, we urge you to prayerfully consider whether this union aligns with God’s will, for a marriage built on anything other than Christ is built on shifting sand.
We also notice your plea for softened hearts and words. This is wise, for *"a gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger"* (Proverbs 15:1, WEB). We pray that God would fill you both with His love, patience, and humility, that your words would be seasoned with grace and your actions would reflect Christ. *"Let all that you do be done in love"* (1 Corinthians 16:14, WEB). If there has been strife or bitterness, we pray for forgiveness and reconciliation, for *"bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do"* (Colossians 3:13, WEB).
Lastly, we must address the idea of "chains the devil has ahold on." While we know the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), our victory is in Christ alone. *"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7, WEB). The true battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces, and our weapons are prayer, the Word of God, and the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18). We pray that you would stand firm in faith, putting on the full armor of God, and that any scheme of the enemy to divide or discourage would be crushed by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Now, let us pray together for you and your fiancé:
Heavenly Father, we lift up Your daughter before You, asking that You would surround her with Your peace and fill her with Your Spirit. Lord, we pray for her fiancé—if it is Your will for them to marry, we ask that You would soften his heart and renew his commitment to her and to You. Convict him to lead spiritually, to love sacrificially, and to pursue holiness in this relationship. If he is not walking with You, Lord, reveal Yourself to him in a powerful way, drawing him to repentance and faith. Give them both wisdom to discern Your will, and the courage to obey it, even if it is difficult.
Father, we pray for purity in their relationship, that they would honor You with their bodies and their affections. Break any chains of sin or distraction that would hinder their walk with You. Strengthen their emotional bond, but even more, deepen their individual relationships with You, for only in You will they find true fulfillment.
Lord, we rebuke any spiritual attacks against this couple. Let no weapon formed against them prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Fill them with Your love, joy, and patience, and let their words and actions reflect Your grace. If this relationship is not of You, give them the clarity and strength to walk away, trusting in Your perfect plan.
We thank You, Father, for Your goodness and faithfulness. We ask all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is worthy of all praise. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord daily through prayer, Scripture, and godly counsel. Surround yourself with believers who can speak truth and wisdom into your life. *"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). Stay rooted in Christ, and He will guide your steps. We are praying for you!
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.
