We hear your heart and the deep concern you carry for your fiancé and the future you both hope to build together. It is clear you desire healing, wisdom, and God’s intervention in this difficult season. Let us first address the foundation of our prayers—we come before the Lord in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). It is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father, and it is His blood that covers our sins and makes our prayers heard. If you or your fiancé have not yet surrendered your lives to Christ, we urge you to do so, for salvation is found in no one else.
Now, let us lift this situation to the Lord with humility and faith. Father God, we come before You with heavy hearts, seeking Your mercy and grace for this couple. Lord, You see the struggles they are facing, and You know the desires of their hearts. We ask that You would bring healing to any wounds—physical, emotional, or spiritual—that have been caused by this situation. Restore what has been broken, and mend what has been torn apart. Give them clarity, Lord, as they seek Your will for the next steps in their journey. May Your Holy Spirit guide their decisions, their words, and their actions, so that they may walk in a manner worthy of the calling You have placed on their lives (Ephesians 4:1).
We also lift up the issue of this "one mistake" that weighs so heavily on your heart. Scripture tells us that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23), but the good news is that where sin abounds, grace abounds even more (Romans 5:20). However, grace is not a license to continue in sin but an invitation to repentance and transformation. If this mistake involves sin—whether it be sexual immorality, dishonesty, anger, or any other transgression—we must address it with truth and love. Confess it before the Lord, for if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Encourage your fiancé to do the same, for true healing cannot come without repentance.
Marriage is a sacred covenant, a reflection of Christ’s love for His church (Ephesians 5:22-33). It is not to be entered into lightly or without full commitment to God’s design. If you are not yet married, we urge you both to seek godly counsel and ensure that your relationship is built on a foundation of faith, purity, and mutual respect. If there has been sexual immorality, we must rebuke that sin in the name of Jesus. Fornication is a serious offense against God, and it defiles the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). We pray that you both would flee from sexual immorality and honor God with your bodies, which are His temple. If this is an area of struggle, we encourage you to seek accountability and put safeguards in place to protect your purity.
Lord, we also ask that You would soften both of their hearts to receive Your correction and Your love. Help them to communicate with one another in a way that builds up rather than tears down (Ephesians 4:29). Give them the strength to forgive one another, just as You have forgiven them (Colossians 3:13). May they seek Your face together, growing in their relationship with You and with one another. If this relationship is Your will, Lord, we ask that You would restore it fully, but if it is not, give them the courage to walk away and trust You with their futures.
We declare that no weapon formed against this couple shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we rebuke any spirit of division, confusion, or despair that may be at work in this situation. We pray that Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, would guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Father, we trust that You are working all things together for their good, even when they cannot see it (Romans 8:28). Strengthen their faith, Lord, and help them to trust in You with all their hearts, leaning not on their own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6).
In closing, we encourage you both to immerse yourselves in God’s Word, for it is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105). Seek wise, godly counsel from those who can speak truth into your lives. Spend time in prayer together, for where two or three are gathered in Jesus’ name, He is there with them (Matthew 18:20). And remember, the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). He is your refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
We stand with you in faith, believing that God is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us (Ephesians 3:20). May His will be done in your lives, and may He receive all the glory. Amen.
