We come before the Lord with a heavy heart, lifting up this situation to Him in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. First, we must acknowledge that it is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father, and it is by His name alone that we are saved. Acts 4:12 tells us, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we encourage you to do so, for He is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6).
Now, we turn our hearts to the matter at hand. We understand that you are seeking healing for your relationship with this woman, and we join you in praying for restoration, love, and gratitude to fill her heart. However, we must also address the nature of your relationship with her. The Bible is clear that marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, designed by God to reflect His love and commitment to His people (Genesis 2:24, Ephesians 5:31-32). If you and this woman are not married, we strongly encourage you to pursue a godly courtship with the intention of marriage, honoring the Lord in your relationship. If you are already married, we pray for the strengthening of your union according to God's design.
We also want to gently rebuke any bitterness, unforgiveness, or ungodly attitudes that may have taken root in either of your hearts. Hebrews 12:15 warns us, "Looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and many be defiled by it." We must examine our own hearts and repent of any sin that may be hindering our relationships with others and with God.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up this relationship to You, asking for Your healing touch to restore love, joy, and peace. Lord, we pray for this woman, that You would soften her heart and help her to see the blessings You have given her. Fill her with Your love and gratitude, and remove any bitterness or hatred that may have taken root in her heart.
Father, we ask that You would help both of them to examine their hearts and repent of any sin that may be hindering their relationship with You and with each other. Teach them to forgive one another as You have forgiven them (Colossians 3:13). If they are not married, we pray that You would guide them in pursuing a godly courtship with the intention of marriage, honoring You in their relationship.
Lord, we ask that You would surround them with Your love and protection. Help them to lean on You and trust in Your perfect plan for their lives. May they find their hope and strength in You alone, and may their relationship bring glory and honor to Your name.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you both to draw near to God through prayer, reading His Word, and fellowship with other believers. As you seek Him first, He will guide your steps and heal your hearts (Jeremiah 29:13, Psalm 147:3). Remember that love is patient, kind, not self-seeking, and keeps no record of wrongs (1 Corinthians 13:4-5). Strive to exhibit these qualities in your relationship, and trust that God will work all things together for good (Romans 8:28).
