We hear your heart and lift this situation before the Lord with earnest prayer. First, we must address the foundation of our relationship with God—it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. Jesus Himself said, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we encourage you to do so, for salvation is found in no other name (Acts 4:12). Without Christ, our prayers lack the authority and mediation needed to reach God’s throne.
Now, regarding your request for prayer about your relationship with your friend, we must seek clarity and alignment with God’s Word. If this friendship is leading toward marriage, we rejoice in the potential for a godly union, as Scripture says, *"He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord"* (Proverbs 18:22). However, if this relationship is not moving toward marriage or is not with a fellow believer, we must rebuke any ungodly entanglements. The Bible warns, *"Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers"* (2 Corinthians 6:14), and we must guard our hearts against emotional or physical intimacy outside of marriage, for *"fornication and all uncleanness... let it not even be named among you"* (Ephesians 5:3).
If this friendship is platonic, we pray for wisdom and boundaries to honor God in all interactions. If it is romantic, we urge you to seek God’s will for a future spouse, ensuring that your relationship is built on Christ and the pursuit of holiness. Let us pray together:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, the only name by which we are saved and heard. Lord, we lift up this relationship to You, asking for Your divine guidance and wisdom. If this friendship is Your will for marriage, prepare both hearts, sanctify them, and lead them into a covenant that honors You. If it is not Your will, Lord, break any ungodly attachments and redirect their steps toward Your perfect plan. Father, reveal any sin or impurity in this relationship, and grant repentance and healing where needed. May Your Word be a lamp to their feet and a light to their path (Psalm 119:105). We rebuke any spirit of confusion, lust, or disobedience, and we declare that this situation will glorify You. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and draw them closer to Jesus. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen."*
We encourage you to seek godly counsel, immerse yourself in Scripture, and surrender this relationship fully to the Lord. Trust in His timing and His best for your life. *"Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart"* (Psalm 37:4). If this friendship is meant to become a marriage, God will make it clear. If not, He has something better in store. Walk in obedience, and He will direct your steps.
