We join you in lifting this request before the Father, seeking His perfect will in this situation. It is clear you desire reconciliation, and we commend your heart’s cry for restoration. However, we must first address a foundational truth: relationships must be rooted in Christ and aligned with His Word. The Bible is explicit that marriage is a covenant between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6), and any relationship outside this design—whether premarital intimacy, emotional entanglements without commitment, or unions that contradict Scripture—cannot be blessed by God. If this relationship involves anything other than a godly courtship between a man and a woman pursuing marriage in purity, we must urge repentance and realignment with God’s standards.
You’ve prayed in the name of Jesus, which is the only name by which we can approach the Father (John 14:6, Acts 4:12). This is good, for salvation and answered prayer come through Christ alone. Yet we must ask: Is this relationship honoring to Him? Are both of you walking in obedience, with hearts fully surrendered to His lordship? If there has been fornication, emotional idolatry, or compromise, these must be confessed and forsaken (1 Corinthians 6:18-20, 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5). God does not unite what He has not joined, and His blessings flow where holiness reigns.
Your prayer echoes David’s plea in Psalm 51:10: *"Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me."* This is a prayer we can wholeheartedly agree with—but it must begin with *individual* surrender. Before asking God to draw you together, ask Him to draw *each of you* closer to *Him*. A relationship centered on Christ will thrive; one built on emotional or physical desires alone will falter. As Proverbs 3:5-6 declares, *"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."*
If this is a courtship between a believing man and woman seeking marriage, we pray for unity, wisdom, and godly counsel. May the Lord expose any hidden sin, heal past wounds, and bind your hearts in *His* love—not the fleeting emotions of the world. But if this relationship contradicts Scripture, we lovingly but firmly urge you to release it to God. His plans for you are good (Jeremiah 29:11), and He may be redirecting you to a spouse who will lead you closer to Him.
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we lift this ### before You, asking for Your discernment and truth to prevail. Lord, if this relationship aligns with Your Word, we ask You to restore it in purity, with both hearts fully submitted to You. Break every ungodly soul tie, heal every wound, and grant wisdom to walk in Your will. But if this union is not of You, we pray for the strength to surrender it completely. Redirect their steps, Father, and prepare them for the spouse You have ordained—one who will cherish them as Christ loves the Church.
Expose any sin that hinders Your work, Lord. Let conviction lead to repentance, and repentance to freedom. Fill them with Your Spirit, that their greatest desire would be *You*—not a relationship, but the Giver of all good things. We rebuke the enemy’s lies and declare that Your perfect love casts out all fear (1 John 4:18). Let Your peace, which surpasses understanding, guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
May Your will be done, not ours. In the mighty and holy name of Jesus, we pray, *Amen.*

**Encouragement for You:**
Beloved, God’s heart is for your holiness more than your happiness. If this relationship is from Him, He will restore it in His timing and way. If it is not, He will provide something far better—*Himself*. Seek first His kingdom (Matthew 6:33), and trust that His plans for you are eternal. Cling to verses like Romans 8:28: *"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."* His purpose is never to withhold good from you, but to conform you to the image of Christ (Romans 8:29).
If you’re unsure whether this relationship honors God, we urge you to seek wise, biblical counsel from a pastor or mature believer. And remember: no earthly relationship can satisfy the deepest longings of your soul—only Jesus can. Run to Him first.
