? I am not courting my son. I'm quite sure having a relationship with my child is in accordance with God's word...We hear your heart’s longing to connect more deeply with this person in your life, and we join you in lifting this request before our Heavenly Father. First, let us affirm that all prayer must be rooted in the name of Jesus Christ, for He alone is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6). It is only by His authority and grace that we can approach God’s throne with confidence (Hebrews 4:16), and we are grateful you have come in His name.
As we pray, we must also examine the nature of this relationship with discernment. The Bible calls us to pursue godly relationships that honor the Lord, particularly in the context of marriage, which is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6). If this person is someone you are courting with the intention of marriage, we rejoice in your desire to seek God’s will together. However, if this relationship does not align with biblical principles—such as being outside of marriage, involving fornication, or being with someone of the same sex—we must lovingly rebuke that sin and encourage repentance. The Word of God is clear: "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). If this is the case, we urge you to surrender this relationship to the Lord and seek His healing and restoration.
If this person is your spouse, we stand with you in praying for deeper communication, unity, and protection over your marriage. The Bible instructs husbands and wives to love and cherish one another as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25, 33). Let us pray that God would strengthen the bond between you, guard your hearts from division, and surround your marriage with His peace and protection.
If this person is not your spouse and the relationship is not moving toward marriage, we must gently challenge you to consider whether this is a godly pursuit. The Bible warns us not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14), and we are called to set our affections on things above, not on earthly desires (Colossians 3:2). If this relationship is causing you to stumble or distracting you from God’s purpose for your life, we encourage you to seek the Lord’s wisdom and surrender it to Him.
Let us now come before the Lord in prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up this request to You, asking that You would grant clarity, wisdom, and discernment to this dear one. Lord, if this relationship is honoring to You, we pray that You would open the lines of communication, draw their hearts closer together, and knit their spirits in unity. Protect this person from all harm, both seen and unseen, and surround them with Your angels for safety and peace (Psalm 91:11). May Your Holy Spirit guide their words, actions, and decisions, so that every interaction would reflect Your love and truth.
If this relationship is not in alignment with Your Word, Father, we ask that You would reveal that truth with conviction and grace. Give this one the strength to walk away from anything that does not honor You, and replace their longing with a deeper hunger for Your presence. Heal any wounds or unmet desires, and fill their heart with Your perfect peace (Philippians 4:7). Help them to trust in Your timing and Your plan, knowing that You are a good Father who delights in giving good gifts to Your children (Matthew 7:11).
Lord, we also pray for protection over this person’s heart and mind. Guard them from temptation, from the schemes of the enemy, and from any influence that would lead them astray. Strengthen their faith, deepen their walk with You, and fill them with the assurance that You are their ultimate Provider and Protector. May they find their identity and worth in You alone, and may their relationships reflect Your glory.
We thank You, Father, for the privilege of coming before Your throne on behalf of this one. We trust in Your perfect will and Your unfailing love. May Your name be praised in all things, and may Your kingdom come in their life as it is in heaven. In Jesus’ holy and precious name we pray, Amen.
We encourage you to seek the Lord daily through prayer and Scripture, allowing His Word to shape your desires and decisions. If this relationship is meant to be, God will make it clear in His timing. If not, trust that He has something far greater in store for you. "Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart" (Psalm 37:4). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2), and He will lead you into all truth.
