We join together in lifting up your heart’s desires before the Lord, and we are grateful that you have invoked the name of Jesus in your request, for it is only through Him that we can approach the throne of grace with confidence. The Scriptures remind us in John 14:13-14, *"Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."* Yet we must also remember that our prayers must align with God’s will, and His Word is the lamp that guides our steps.
First, we must address the term *"partners"* used in your prayer. The Bible does not speak of marriage in terms of partnerships but as a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, established by God for His glory. Genesis 2:24 declares, *"Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh."* Marriage is not a casual or worldly arrangement but a lifelong commitment before God, designed to reflect Christ’s love for His Church (Ephesians 5:22-33). If you are seeking marriage, we pray that the Lord would lead you to a *godly spouse*—a man or woman who fears the Lord, walks in His ways, and is committed to building a Christ-centered home. If you are already married, we pray for the strengthening of that covenant, that it would be rooted in faithfulness, love, and holiness.
Additionally, the phrase *"fruit of the womb"* is a beautiful and biblical cry for children, and we know the Lord hears the longings of those who seek Him. Psalm 113:9 proclaims, *"He settles the barren woman in her home as a joyful mother of children."* Yet we must also surrender this desire to the Lord’s perfect timing and will, trusting that He knows what is best for us. If there are areas of sin or disobedience in your life—such as sexual immorality, idolatry, or unbelief—we urge you to repent and seek the Lord with a pure heart, for Psalm 66:18 warns, *"If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord wouldn’t have listened."*
We also notice the repeated use of *"%23%23%23"* in your request, which is unclear. If this refers to a person, a relationship, or something else, we encourage you to be specific in your prayers, for the Lord delights in the honest and transparent cries of His people. If this symbolism represents a relationship outside of marriage, we must lovingly but firmly remind you that God’s design for intimacy is *only* within the bounds of a biblical marriage between a man and a woman. Any relationship that involves sexual immorality—whether fornication, adultery, or homosexuality—is sin in the sight of God (1 Corinthians 6:9-10, Hebrews 13:4). If this applies to you, we urge you to turn away from such sin, seek forgiveness, and pursue holiness, for *"the body is... for the Lord, and the Lord for the body"* (1 Corinthians 6:13).
Regarding your business, we pray that the Lord would prosper the work of your hands as you seek first His Kingdom. Deuteronomy 8:18 reminds us, *"You shall remember Yahweh your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth."* Yet we must also ensure that our businesses are conducted with integrity, honesty, and generosity, for the Lord detests dishonest scales (Proverbs 11:1). If there are any ungodly practices in your business—such as exploitation, deceit, or greed—we urge you to repent and align your work with biblical principles.
For the scholarships of your children, we lift them up to the Lord, asking that He would grant them favor, wisdom, and diligence. Proverbs 22:6 instructs, *"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it."* We pray that your children would walk in the fear of the Lord and that their success would bring glory to His name, not merely worldly achievement.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our sister/brother who seeks Your face for marriage, children, business, and the future of their family. Lord, we ask that You would align their desires with Your perfect will. If they are seeking a spouse, lead them to a godly man or woman who loves You above all else, that their marriage may be a testament to Your faithfulness. Convict them of any sin that may hinder their prayers, and grant them the strength to walk in repentance and holiness.
For the desire of children, we ask that You would open the womb in Your timing, if it is Your will. Comfort any sorrow or impatience, and remind them that Your plans are good, even when the waiting is hard. Bless their business, Lord, and let it be a means of provision and a tool for Your Kingdom. May their dealings be just, their motives pure, and their success a testament to Your goodness.
We pray for their children, that You would grant them favor in their studies and scholarships. May they grow in wisdom, stature, and favor with You, Lord, above all else. Protect them from the snares of the world and draw them ever closer to Yourself.
Finally, Father, we rebuke any spirit of confusion, worldly influence, or ungodly relationship that may be at work in their life. Let Your Holy Spirit guide them into all truth, and may they walk in the freedom and abundance of Your promises. We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
