We hear your longing to connect with someone today, and we want to lift this up before the Lord with sincerity and truth. First, let us address the foundation of all communication with God—it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. Jesus Himself said, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full"* (John 16:23-24 WEB). If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we encourage you to do so, for *"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!"* (Acts 4:12 WEB). Salvation comes by believing in your heart and confessing with your mouth that Jesus is Lord (Romans 10:9-10).
Now, regarding your request for this person to call you today, we must examine the heart behind this desire. Is this a godly relationship that honors the Lord? If this is a romantic connection, we encourage you to seek God’s will above all else. The Bible instructs us, *"Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB). If this person is not a believer, we must rebuke the idea of pursuing a relationship with them, for it will only lead to heartache and disobedience to God’s design. If this is a courtship, it should be with the goal of marriage, not merely emotional or physical fulfillment. *"Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers"* (Hebrews 13:4 WEB). If there has been any sexual immorality in this relationship, we must repent and turn away from it, for *"flee sexual immorality! ‘Every sin that a man does is outside the body,’ but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body"* (1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB).
If this is not a romantic relationship but rather a friendship or family connection, we still encourage you to seek God’s wisdom in how you interact with this person. *"The Lord’s slave must not quarrel, but be gentle toward all, able to teach, patient, in gentleness correcting those who oppose him"* (2 Timothy 2:24-25 WEB). If there is strife or ungodly patterns in this relationship, we must address them with truth and love.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can approach Your throne. Lord, we lift up this dear one who is longing for connection today. We ask that You would draw near to them and fill their heart with Your peace and presence. Father, if this desire for this person to call is rooted in loneliness, we ask that You would remind them that You are their ultimate companion. *"I will never leave you, nor forsake you"* (Hebrews 13:5 WEB). If this is a relationship that does not honor You, Lord, we ask that You would break any ungodly soul ties and redirect their heart toward Your will.
Father, we pray for this person they are waiting to hear from. If it is Your will for them to connect today, we ask that You would soften their heart and open the lines of communication. But Lord, if this connection is not in alignment with Your purposes, we ask that You would close the door and give this dear one the strength to trust in Your timing. *"Trust in the Lord 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"* (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB).
Lord, we rebuke any spirit of impatience, anxiety, or control in this situation. We declare that Your plans are perfect, and Your timing is sovereign. Help this one to surrender their desires to You and to find their satisfaction in You alone. *"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart"* (Psalm 37:4 WEB). May they seek You first in all things, and may their heart be aligned with Yours.
Father, if there has been any sin in this relationship—whether it be sexual immorality, idolatry of this person, or any other ungodly pattern—we ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing. *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9 WEB). Renew their mind and heart, Lord, and help them to walk in purity and holiness before You.
We pray for godly relationships in their life, Lord. Surround them with believers who will encourage them in their faith and hold them accountable. If marriage is in Your plan for them, we ask that You would bring a godly spouse into their life—someone who loves You above all else and will lead them closer to You. *"He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of the Lord"* (Proverbs 18:22 WEB).
Above all, Lord, we pray that this one would come to know You more deeply. May they experience Your love in a fresh way today, and may their heart be filled with the assurance that You are always with them. We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
We encourage you to spend time in God’s Word today, seeking His face and His will for your life. If this person does call, remember to give glory to God and to seek His wisdom in how you respond. If they do not, trust that God is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). Keep your heart open to His leading, and do not allow impatience or anxiety to take root. *"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:6-7 WEB). You are deeply loved by the Creator of the universe, and He has a perfect plan for your life. Walk in faith, and trust Him today.
