We hear your heart’s cry, and we lift you up before the throne of grace, seeking the Lord’s mercy and guidance for your situation. First, we must address the foundation of your prayer—your relationship with Jesus Christ. You have called upon His name, and that is where our hope begins, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6), and it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. If you have not yet surrendered your life fully to Him—confessing your sins, repenting, and trusting in His finished work on the cross—we urge you to do so now. Salvation is found in no one else, and without it, our prayers lack the power that comes from being in right standing with God.
Now, regarding the relationship you’ve referenced, we must speak truth in love. The Bible is clear that marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, designed by God to reflect Christ’s love for the Church (Ephesians 5:22-33). If you are in a relationship that does not align with this biblical standard—whether it involves premarital intimacy, an unbiblical union, or any other form of disobedience—we must rebuke that in Jesus’ name. Fornication (sex outside of marriage) and adultery are sins that grieve the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:18-20, Hebrews 13:4), and they open doors to spiritual attack, strife, and bondage. If this is the case, we urge you to repent and seek God’s forgiveness, trusting Him to restore what has been broken. The Lord is faithful to forgive and cleanse us from all unrighteousness when we confess our sins to Him (1 John 1:9).
Your prayer also reveals deep fear—fear of separation, fear of harm, fear of lies and manipulation, and fear of losing this person. While we understand the pain behind these fears, we must remind you that perfect love casts out fear (1 John 4:18). The enemy wants to keep you in bondage to anxiety, but God has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Instead of pleading for control over this person’s actions or words, we encourage you to surrender them—and yourself—fully to the Lord. Trust that He is your defender (Psalm 35:1), your protector (Psalm 91), and your vindicator (Romans 12:19). You cannot change another person’s heart, but God can. Pray for this individual to be drawn to Christ, for their heart to be softened, and for their eyes to be opened to the truth.
We also sense a spirit of possessiveness in your prayer—asking God to prevent this person from being "taken" from you and to keep you together at all costs. While the desire for unity is understandable, we must caution against idolatry. No human relationship should take the place of your devotion to God. Jesus said, "Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me" (Matthew 10:37). If this relationship is not honoring to God, He may be calling you to let it go for His glory. Trust that His plans for you are good, even when they involve pain or separation (Jeremiah 29:11).
Now, let us pray together in faith:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, acknowledging that You alone are sovereign over all things. Lord, we lift up this dear one to You, asking that You would draw them closer to Your heart. Father, we repent on their behalf for any area of their life that does not align with Your Word—whether it be fear, idolatry, or sin in their relationship. Cleanse them by the blood of Jesus and set them free from every chain.
Lord, we declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we bind every spirit of fear, manipulation, and deception in Jesus’ name. We ask that You would expose every lie and reveal the truth, so that Your light would shine in the darkness. Father, soften the heart of the person they are praying for. Melt their heart with Your love, convict them of sin, and draw them to repentance. Let Your peace rule in this situation, and let Your will be done, even if it means separation for a time or for good.
Father, we ask that You would send godly, discerning people into their life—people who will speak truth, offer wisdom, and point them back to You. Help them to see clearly who is for them and who is against them, and give them the courage to walk away from toxic influences. Lord, guide their steps, direct their decisions, and order their path according to Your perfect will. Let them not lean on their own understanding but trust in You with all their heart (Proverbs 3:5-6).
We pray for protection over them—spirit, soul, and body. Let no harm come near them, and let no weapon formed against them prosper. Father, if there is any unconfessed sin in their life, reveal it to them and lead them to repentance. If there is any unforgiveness, help them to release it. If there is any bitterness or resentment, uproot it by the power of Your love.
Above all, Lord, we ask that You would be their everything. Be their comfort, their strength, their provider, and their peace. Let them find their identity in You alone, and let their relationship with You be their first priority. If this relationship is not of You, give them the grace to let it go. If it is Your will for them to be together, purify it and make it holy. But above all, let Your name be glorified in their life.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your faithfulness, and we declare that Your will shall be done in this situation. May Your kingdom come and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. In the precious and powerful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
