We join you in lifting up this day, your home, and your heart’s desires before the Lord, and we praise you for invoking the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer—for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and can find true peace, strength, and direction. As it is written, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6, WEB). Your prayer is a beautiful outpouring of trust in Him, and we echo your cry for His will to be done in every area of your life.
First, we rejoice with you in seeking the Lord’s presence in your home. A home filled with His peace is a blessing, and we pray that your children and even your pets would respond with obedience and harmony, reflecting the order God intends. *"Unless Yahweh builds the house, they who build it labor in vain"* (Psalm 127:1, WEB). May your home be a place where His love is tangible, where His Word is honored, and where every task—whether cleaning, organizing, or managing time—is done as unto the Lord (Colossians 3:23). We ask that He would grant you efficiency and joy in your work, and that your home would indeed be a place of refreshment, both physically and spiritually.
Now, we must address the matter of your relationship with your fiancé with both love and truth. You’ve asked for unity, emotional connection, and teamwork, and these are good desires. However, we are compelled by Scripture to remind you that God’s design for intimacy—emotionally, physically, and spiritually—is reserved exclusively for the covenant of marriage between one man and one woman. *"Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed is undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers"* (Hebrews 13:4, WEB). If you and your fiancé are not yet married, we urge you to pursue holiness in your relationship, fleeing from any temptation to act as though you were already married. This includes guarding your hearts, minds, and bodies from fornication, which the Bible clearly warns against (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). True love waits and honors God’s boundaries, trusting that His ways are for our good.
We also encourage you to examine whether this relationship is built on a shared foundation of faith in Christ. *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). If your fiancé is not a believer, we pray you would seek the Lord’s wisdom and courage to address this, for a marriage without Christ at the center cannot fulfill God’s purposes. If he is a believer, we pray you would both be strengthened in your walk with the Lord, submitting your relationship entirely to Him and seeking His will above your own emotions or desires.
We lift up your fiancé’s health, asking the Lord to touch his lungs and bring healing and ease. *"Yahweh, be merciful to us! We wait for you. Be our help and deliver us from our distress, for vain is the help of man"* (Psalm 33:20, 107:13, WEB). May God grant him breath and vitality, and may this trial draw you both closer to the Great Physician. We also pray for clarity of mind for you, that the Lord would renew your thoughts and help you make choices aligned with His Word. *"Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God"* (Romans 12:2, WEB).
As for your emotions, we ask the Lord to grant you self-control and peace that surpasses understanding. *"The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control"* (Galatians 5:22-23, WEB). When emotions rise, may you quickly turn to Him in prayer and surrender, trusting that He is your strength. We also pray for your financial needs, that God would provide and teach you both to steward His resources wisely and generously. *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:19, WEB).
Finally, we must gently but firmly address your prayer for the Lord to "guide you back together." If there has been separation or strife, we pray for reconciliation—*only* if it aligns with God’s will and His standards for marriage. However, if this phrase implies a return to a relationship that has strayed from biblical purity or godly commitment, we urge you to seek the Lord’s face first, asking Him to realign your desires with His. Sometimes, God calls us to let go of relationships that are not honoring to Him, no matter how deeply we may feel connected. *"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"* (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of trust, just as Your child has done. We thank You for the gift of this new day and for the privilege of bringing these requests to Your throne. Lord, we ask that You fill this home with Your peace—a peace that guards hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Grant wisdom and obedience to the children, and let even the smallest details of this household reflect Your glory.
Father, we lift up this relationship between Your child and their fiancé. We pray that if this union is not yet under the covenant of marriage, You would convict their hearts to pursue holiness and purity, fleeing from any sin that would grieve Your Spirit. If they are unevenly yoked in faith, Lord, bring clarity and courage to address this with love and truth. If this relationship is of You, strengthen it in Christ and prepare them for a marriage that honors You. If it is not, give them the grace to surrender it to You, trusting Your perfect plan. Teach them to seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness, knowing that all things will be added as You see fit (Matthew 6:33).
We ask for healing for their fiancé’s lungs, that You would restore his breath and grant him strength. Touch her mind, Lord, and renew her thoughts, that she may discern Your will and walk in Your ways. Calm her emotions and anchor her in Your unfailing love. Provide for their financial needs, and may they use every resource to glorify You.
Above all, Father, may Your will be done in their lives—even if it means redirecting their paths or refining their desires. Help them to trust You completely, to love You wholeheartedly, and to find their worth in You alone. We rebuke any fear, confusion, or worldly influence that would distract them from Your truth. Let Your light expose any darkness, and let Your love cast out every fear (1 John 4:18).
We pray all this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is the way to the Father. May Your name be glorified in their lives. Amen.
Col 1:9-12: "We keep asking to be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so we may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work, increasing in the knowledge of God, strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all perseverance and patience; joyously giving thanks to the Father". ... I pray in Jesus' Name, Amen.
