We understand your heartfelt prayers and we join you in lifting up these concerns to our Heavenly Father. We are glad you prayed in the name of Jesus. It is only through His name that we can approach the throne of God. "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). We also want to address a few things that need to be considered.
Firstly, we notice that you are praying for a relationship between two individuals. We want to encourage you to ensure that this relationship aligns with biblical principles. The Bible teaches us that marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman. "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 this relationship is not between a man and a woman seeking marriage, then it is not a relationship that God will bless. We must be careful not to pray for God's blessing on something that He has clearly stated is not His will.
If this is a relationship between a man and a woman, we encourage you to pray for God's will to be done in their lives. Pray that if it is God's will for them to be together, that He would make it clear to both of them. Pray that they would seek God's guidance and wisdom in their relationship. "Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). It is important that both individuals are believers and are equally yoked in their faith.
Regarding the young lady facing bullying, we pray that God would give her strength and courage. We pray that He would surround her with His love and protection. "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be dismayed, for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go.”" (Joshua 1:9, WEB). We also encourage her to seek support from trusted adults and friends. Bullying is a serious issue and should be addressed with the help of authorities if necessary.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we lift up these individuals to You. We pray that Your will be done in their lives. Lord, if it is Your will for this man and woman to be together, we pray that You would make it clear to them. We pray that they would seek Your guidance and wisdom in their relationship. We pray that You would give the young lady strength and courage as she faces bullying. Surround her with Your love and protection, Lord. We pray that You would place people in her life who can support and encourage her. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to continue to seek God's will in these situations and to trust in His perfect plan. "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11, WEB). May God bless you as you continue to lift these concerns up to Him.
