We hear your heart and join you in seeking the Lord’s wisdom and discernment as you navigate this new connection. The Bible reminds us 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 direct your paths." It is so important to surrender every step to Him, especially when emotions or uncertainty cloud our judgment.
We also want to encourage you to examine this situation through the lens of Scripture. Is this person a fellow believer, committed to walking in faith and godliness? 2 Corinthians 6:14 warns, "Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?" If this relationship has the potential to lead toward marriage, it must be rooted in Christ from the beginning. Courtship should always have the goal of honoring God and pursuing a spouse who shares your faith, not merely a temporary connection.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, asking for Your divine wisdom and clarity for our brother/sister. Lord, You know the details of this situation even when we do not. We ask that You would remove any confusion, reveal Your will, and guard their heart from deception or distraction. Help them to seek You above all else, and if this connection is from You, let it unfold according to Your perfect timing and purpose. If it is not, give them the strength to walk away and trust in Your better plan. May they be sensitive to Your Holy Spirit’s leading, and may their steps be ordered by Your Word. We rebuke any spirit of impulsivity or emotionalism that would lead them away from Your best. Father, we declare that their heart belongs to You first, and we pray for a spouse who loves You deeply, if that is Your will for them. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to spend time in prayer and fasting, seeking the Lord’s voice. Ask Him to confirm His will through His Word, godly counsel, and peace in your spirit. Remember, James 1:5 says, "But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." You are not alone in this—God is faithful to guide you. Stay rooted in His truth, and He will make your path clear.
