We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up your family in prayer. The pain and turmoil you are experiencing is deeply felt, and we stand with you in seeking God’s will and intervention in this situation. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 19:21, "There are many plans in a man’s heart, but Yahweh’s counsel will prevail." Your sister’s choices are causing great distress, but we trust that the Lord’s purpose for her life will ultimately prevail if we surrender this to Him.
First, we must address the seriousness of the path your sister is considering. The Bible is clear about the sanctity of marriage and the importance of entering it with a godly spouse. In 2 Corinthians 6:14, we are warned, "Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" The young man she is pursuing does not exhibit godly character, and his past behavior—including living in sin with other women—is a clear indication that he is not walking in the ways of the Lord. This is not just a matter of differing opinions; it is a matter of disobedience to God’s Word. Fornication and sexual immorality are sins that the Bible condemns, and we must rebuke this behavior in love, urging your sister to turn away from this path before it leads to further destruction.
We also lift up your parents in prayer, as their hearts are breaking under the weight of this trial. The Bible tells us in Psalm 34:18, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." Father, we ask that You draw near to them in this time of sorrow. Comfort them with Your presence and remind them that You are their strength and refuge. Give them the wisdom to respond to this situation with grace and truth, and help them to trust in Your sovereignty even when the path ahead seems unclear.
For your sister, we pray that the Lord would open her eyes to the truth. In James 1:5, we are told, "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." Lord, we ask that You grant her wisdom to see the danger of the path she is on. Soften her heart to receive correction and turn away from this ungodly relationship. Surround her with godly influences who will speak truth into her life and remind her of Your better plan for her. We declare that her heart will be turned toward You, and that she will seek a spouse who loves You and walks in Your ways.
We also pray for unity and peace within your family. The enemy seeks to divide and destroy, but we stand on the promise of Psalm 133:1, "See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity!" Lord, we ask that You mend any fractures in your family and restore harmony. Help each of you to extend grace and love to one another, even in the midst of this trial. Give your parents the strength to stand firm in their faith and to model Christ-like love to your sister, even when it is difficult.
Finally, we pray that your family would fix their eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). In times of uncertainty, it is easy to become overwhelmed, but we know that God works all things together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28). We declare that this situation will not define your family, but rather, it will be an opportunity for God’s glory to be revealed. May your family emerge from this trial stronger in faith, deeper in love for one another, and more committed to walking in obedience to God’s Word.
Heavenly Father, we lift up this family to You, asking for Your divine intervention. Break the chains of deception that have taken hold of this young woman’s heart. Protect her from making a decision that will bring lifelong regret. Comfort her parents and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Restore what has been broken and bring redemption to this situation. We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can come before You and the only name by which we are saved. Amen.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
