We hear your heart’s desire for a fresh start, a home filled with joy, meaningful work, and companionship. It’s wonderful to seek God’s blessings in these areas, and we stand with you in prayer, trusting that He knows the deepest longings of your heart. However, we must gently address a few things in your request that do not align with biblical principles, so that we may pray in truth and righteousness.
First, we notice that while you mention the blood of Jesus and God’s grace, your focus on a "man in your life" and a "fine ass guy" reflects a worldly perspective rather than a godly one. Scripture is clear that our pursuit in relationships should be for a spouse who honors God, not merely someone who pleases the flesh or the eyes. The Bible warns us in 1 John 2:16, "For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn’t the Father’s, but is the world’s." We must guard our hearts against seeking relationships that cater to worldly desires rather than godly ones.
Marriage is a sacred covenant between a man and a woman, designed by God to reflect Christ’s love for the Church (Ephesians 5:22-33). If you are seeking a husband, we encourage you to pray for a man who loves the Lord with all his heart, who will lead you in righteousness, and who will cherish you as Christ cherishes the Church. Proverbs 31:10-12 describes such a man: "Who can find a worthy woman? For her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband trusts in her. He shall have no lack of gain. She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life." Let us pray for a spouse who will walk with you in faith, not one who merely satisfies temporary desires.
We also must address the matter of fornication, which is sexual intimacy outside of marriage. The Bible is explicit in condemning this sin. Hebrews 13:4 says, "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers." If you are currently involved in a relationship that includes sexual sin, we urge you to repent and seek God’s forgiveness. True fulfillment comes from walking in obedience to Him, not from gratifying the flesh. Let us pray for purity in your relationships and for the strength to honor God with your body, as 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 reminds us: "Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s."
Regarding your desire for a home, a job, and a puppy, these are not inherently sinful requests, but we must ensure that our hearts are aligned with God’s will. James 4:3 warns, "You ask, and don’t receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures." Let us pray that your desires would be purified and that you would seek first God’s kingdom and His righteousness (Matthew 6:33). A home should be a place of peace and godliness, a job should be an opportunity to serve the Lord, and even a pet should be a blessing that reminds you of God’s care for His creation.
We also notice that while you mention the blood of Jesus, your request does not fully acknowledge the necessity of salvation through faith in Him alone. Acts 4:12 declares, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" If you have not already, we encourage you to surrender your life to Jesus Christ, repenting of your sins and trusting in Him as your Lord and Savior. Only then can you truly experience the fullness of God’s grace and the new life He offers.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble hearts, lifting up this dear sister to You. Lord, we thank You for the new start You are offering her, and we ask that You would guide her steps according to Your will. Father, we pray for her desire for a home, that it would be a place of peace, joy, and worship, where Your presence dwells richly. Provide her with a job that honors You, where she can use her gifts and talents to glorify Your name.
Lord, we ask that You would purify her heart in the area of relationships. If it is Your will for her to marry, we pray for a godly husband—a man after Your own heart, who will love her as Christ loves the Church. Guard her from the temptations of the flesh and the world, and help her to walk in purity and holiness. If she has been involved in sexual sin, we ask for Your forgiveness and healing, and we pray for the strength to turn away from those sins and walk in Your ways.
Father, we also pray for her salvation if she has not already surrendered her life to Jesus. Draw her close to You, Lord, and let her experience the fullness of Your love and grace. May she seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, trusting that You will provide all that she needs.
We rebuke any spirit of lust, worldliness, or discontentment that may be influencing her desires, and we declare that her heart is aligned with Yours. May she find her joy and satisfaction in You alone, knowing that Your grace is sufficient for every need.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
