We join with you in bringing this need before the Lord and we thank you for sharing your heart with us. We hear your desire for provision and for the business of the man you referred to as your partner to be busy and successful, and for clients to come so that you will not struggle, and we want to pray with you about this according to God's will in Jesus' name.
We want to lovingly address the way this relationship was described, because we believe the Bible teaches the sanctity of marriage as a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman. The word partner does not reflect God's design, and we encourage you to view this relationship as courtship with the goal of marriage to a fellow believer in Christ if it is not already a marriage. Marriage is to be held in honor among all and the marriage bed undefiled, but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers, Hebrews 13:4. For this is the will of God, your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality, 1 Thessalonians 4:3, and we are told to flee sexual immorality, 1 Corinthians 6:18. If you are living together or being intimate outside of marriage, we urge you to repent and to pursue purity and holiness before the Lord, trusting that God's way leads to blessing. Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh, Genesis 2:24, and what therefore God has joined together, don't let man tear apart, Matthew 19:6. We pray that if this man is to be your husband, you both will seek the Lord together and pursue marriage in a way that honors Christ, and that you will not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, 2 Corinthians 6:14. If marriage is your desire, we strongly encourage you to seek that covenant commitment rather than continuing as partners.
We also want to pray for the matter of work and provision. God cares about our daily needs and He calls us to commit our work to Him with diligence and integrity. Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed, Proverbs 16:3. Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, Colossians 3:23. We pray that this business would be conducted honestly and faithfully, that the Lord would open doors for clients as He wills, and that you would both learn to seek first God's Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well, Matthew 6:33. Our God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus, Philippians 4:19, and we trust Him not only for abundance but for contentment and wisdom in times of struggle.
We noticed that your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we want to gently remind you that it is only through Jesus that we have access to God. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me, John 14:6, and there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved, Acts 4:12. If you have not already done so, we encourage you to confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, for with the heart one believes resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation, Romans 10:9. It is by coming to God through Jesus that our prayers are heard.
So together we pray, Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son and we lift up this dear one and the man she loves. Lord, we ask that You draw them both into a deeper relationship with Jesus and that You make their relationship holy and pleasing to You. If it is Your will, lead them toward godly marriage that honors You, and give them conviction and grace to flee from any fornication and to walk in purity. We pray for his business, that You would bless the work of his hands, bring clients according to Your provision, and establish his plans as he commits his deeds to You. Provide for their needs, teach them to be good stewards, to work diligently and honestly, and to trust You in plenty and in want. Remove anxiety about struggling and replace it with peace that comes from knowing You are their provider. Above all, let them seek You first and know that You are faithful. We ask all these things in the mighty and saving name of Jesus, amen.
We encourage you to continue to seek the Lord together in prayer and in His Word, to pursue counsel from mature believers, and to trust that as you honor Him in your relationship and in your work, He will direct your paths, Proverbs 3:5-6.
