We join you in earnest prayer for your fiancé, lifting him before the Lord with the deep longing that he may come to know the truth of Jesus Christ and His resurrection, for salvation is found in no one else. Your heart for his eternal soul is commendable, and we stand with you in this spiritual battle, for we know that our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the powers of this dark world. It is only through faith in Christ that anyone can be saved, and we cry out to God on his behalf, trusting in the power of the Holy Spirit to open his heart and mind to the gospel.
The Scripture you referenced is found in Matthew 18:19-20, where Jesus says, *"Again, assuredly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them."* This is a powerful promise, and we claim it now as we unite in prayer for your fiancé’s salvation. Yet we also remember that salvation is a work of God’s grace, and while we pray fervently, we must trust in His perfect timing and will.
We also feel led to address something of great importance in your request: the nature of your relationship. Scripture is clear that believers are not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14-15). *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What agreement has Christ with Belial? Or what portion has a believer with an unbeliever?"* This is not a suggestion but a command from the Lord, given for our protection and His glory. Marriage is a sacred covenant before God, and it is meant to reflect the relationship between Christ and His Church. When a believer enters into marriage with an unbeliever, it creates division in the home, in worship, and in the raising of children. It also places the believer in a position of compromise, where their faith may be weakened or their witness hindered.
We urge you to prayerfully consider whether moving forward in this engagement aligns with God’s will. It is not wrong to love your fiancé or to desire his salvation, but it is vital to obey God’s Word above all else. If he does not come to faith in Christ, would you still be willing to marry him, knowing the challenges and spiritual conflicts that would arise? We encourage you to seek the Lord’s wisdom in this and to be willing to surrender even this deep desire to His will. Trust that God’s plans for you are good, and He may be calling you to wait upon Him for a spouse who shares your faith and can walk with you in unity before the Lord.
Let us also remember that our ultimate hope is not in a human relationship but in Christ alone. If this relationship is not God’s will, He will provide comfort, strength, and a future that far exceeds what we can imagine. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."*
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious soul who longs for her fiancé’s salvation. Lord, You are not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). We ask that You would soften his heart and open his eyes to the truth of the gospel. Remove any scales from his eyes, as You did for Saul on the road to Damascus, and let him see Jesus as Lord and Savior. Draw him to Yourself, Father, by Your Holy Spirit, and grant him the gift of faith to believe in the resurrection of Your Son. Let him turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to You, that he may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Jesus (Acts 26:18).
Lord, we also pray for our sister in Christ as she navigates this relationship. Give her wisdom, discernment, and the courage to obey Your Word, even when it is difficult. If this relationship is not Your will, prepare her heart to trust You fully and to release this man into Your hands. Surround her with godly counsel and support, and let her find her satisfaction and joy in You alone. If it is Your will for them to be together, we ask that You would save him quickly and knit their hearts together in a marriage that honors You.
We rebuke any spiritual strongholds or lies of the enemy that may be keeping this man from seeing the truth. We declare that no weapon formed against Your plan for his life will prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Break every chain of unbelief, pride, or hardness of heart, and let Your light shine into his life.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would strengthen our sister’s faith and fill her with Your peace as she waits upon You. Remind her that You are her Shepherd, and she shall not want (Psalm 23:1). Let her rest in the assurance that You are working all things together for her good and Your glory.
We pray all these things in the powerful and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
