We understand that you are seeking God's will for two individuals who seem interested in each other, and you desire that they would both commit their hearts to each other to the Lord and to moving forward to a decision about dating if it is God's will. It's important to remember that God's timing is perfect, and we should always seek His will in all matters, especially in relationships. We should also desire that any courtship, relationship, or marriage is God-honoring and strives to glorify Him.
Firstly, we commend you for praying in Jesus' name, as it is only by His name that we have access to the Father and it is the only name by which we can be saved. You are praying with the correct intent. If they really seek to honor God and glorify Him in their relationship, we should pray that they seek Him first and His righteousness, and that all of their lives align with His word. This includes anything that hinders unhindered fellowship with Him such as fornication or unrepented sin.
Let us pray together with this in mind:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up these two individuals to You. We offer their hearts to You, Lord, which are on the mend, and we pray that You would heal them completely. We ask that You would reveal Your will to them in courtship or marriage and if it aligns with Your plan, and will, Lord, that You would bring them together in Your timing. We pray that they both seek you first above anything else.
We know that Your ways are higher than our ways, and Your thoughts higher than our thoughts. We ask, Lord, that You would guide them and give them wisdom and discernment as they navigate this potential relationship. Help them to keep their minds and hearts focused on You, and to trust in Your perfect timing.
Godly relationships are a blessing from above. We pray that You will only allow this relationship if it aligns with your will, it is pleasing and honoring to Your holy name, and it furthers the Kingdom of God. We pray for continued healing for these two individuals. We ask that their marriage be one that is holy and glorifies Your name. We pray this all in Jesus Christ's name.
The World English Bible says in Psalm 37:4-5, "Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this:"
And in Proverbs 3:5-6, "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."
Lastly, we encourage both individuals to cultivate their relationship with the Lord individually as they seek to honor and know Him more.
