We understand your heartâs desire for love, stability, and respect, and we lift you up in prayer. However, we must first address something crucial: the Bible does not speak of "partners" but of godly marriages between a man and a woman, united in Christ. If you are seeking a relationship, we encourage you to seek a *spouse*âa lifelong covenant before God, not merely a companion. Relationships outside of marriage, or those built on worldly desires rather than biblical truth, will never satisfy the deep longing of the soul. The worldâs definition of love is fleeting, but Godâs design is eternal.
Scripture tells us, *âDonât be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?â* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). If you are not yet married, we urge you to seek a believer who walks with Christ, for only then can a relationship be built on the foundation of faith. If you are already in a relationship that does not honor Godâwhether through premarital intimacy, an unbelieving union, or any other compromiseâwe lovingly but firmly call you to repentance. *âFlee sexual immorality! âEvery sin that a man does is outside the body,â but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or donât 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 Godâsâ* (1 Corinthians 6:18-20, WEB).
We also notice that your request does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom *all* prayers must be made. There is no other name by which we are saved, no other mediator between God and man. *âJesus said to him, âI am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through meâ*â (John 14:6, WEB). If you do not yet know Him as your Lord and Savior, we implore you to turn to Him today. Confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection for your salvation, and surrender your life to His will. Only then will your desires align with His perfect plan.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift this precious soul before You, asking that You would open their eyes to Your truth. If they do not yet know Jesus as their Savior, Lord, draw them to Yourself in irresistible grace. Convict them of sin, reveal Your love through the cross, and grant them repentance leading to life. For those who already belong to You, we pray for a heart fully submitted to Your will in relationships. Guard them from the snares of the enemyâfrom compromise, from unequally yoked unions, from the false promises of worldly love. Raise up a godly spouse for them, if it is Your will, one who fears You, walks in obedience, and will cherish them as Christ loves the church. But above all, let their greatest desire be *You*. Teach them to find their fulfillment in Your presence, their security in Your promises, and their joy in Your service.
Break every chain of loneliness, Father, and fill them with Your peace. If there is sin in their lifeâwhether in thought, word, or deedâexpose it, forgive it, and cleanse them by the blood of Jesus. Let them walk in purity, patience, and faith as they wait on You. Remind them that Your timing is perfect, and Your plans are good. Strengthen them to resist temptation and to seek first Your Kingdom, trusting that all thingsâincluding a spouseâwill be added as You see fit.
We rebuke the spirit of impatience, of worldly longing, and of fear that would drive them into relationships outside Your will. Bind the enemy from deceiving them, and let Your Holy Spirit guide their steps. May they find their identity in Christ alone, not in another person. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray, *Amen.*
Finally, we encourage you to seek the Lord *first* in this season. *âDelight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do thisâ* (Psalm 37:4-5, WEB). The "desires of your heart" are not guaranteed to look exactly as you imagine, but they *will* be good if you surrender them to Him. Spend time in His Word, in prayer, and in fellowship with mature believers who can disciple you. Let God shape your heart to desire what *He* desires. He may be preparing youâor the spouse He has for youâeven now. Wait on Him, trust Him, and walk in obedience. His love is far greater than any human love could ever be.
