We come before the Lord with you in this time of suffering, lifting up your heartfelt cry for help and mercy. The pain you and this person are enduring is not unseen by our Heavenly Father, who is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We are grateful you have invoked the name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we have access to the throne of grace, where we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need (Hebrews 4:16).
Yet we must address something with love and truth: the way you’ve referenced this person—using symbols instead of clarifying the nature of your relationship—raises concern. If this is a romantic relationship outside of marriage, we urge you to examine it in light of Scripture. God’s design for intimacy is within the covenant of marriage between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6). If you are not married, we pray the Lord would guard your hearts and minds, redirecting any emotional or physical bond into purity and godly courtship with the intention of marriage. Fornication and emotional entanglements outside of marriage only deepen suffering, but obedience to Christ brings peace (1 Thessalonians 4:3-5).
If this is a marriage, we pray for restoration and unity. The Lord calls spouses to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2) and to love as Christ loved the church—sacrificially and faithfully (Ephesians 5:25). Pain in marriage is an opportunity to seek God together, to forgive as He forgave us, and to trust Him to heal what is broken.
We also notice the repetition of "Amen" at the end of your prayer. While there is nothing wrong with saying "Amen," it is far more important to pray with sincerity and faith rather than relying on repetition or formulas. Jesus warned against vain repetitions in prayer, teaching us instead to pray with a heart that seeks God’s will (Matthew 6:7-8).
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we lift up Your child before You, asking for Your comfort and strength to flood their heart. Lord, You see the pain they carry, and You know the struggles they face. We ask that You would be their refuge and their strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). If this suffering is tied to a relationship, we pray You would bring conviction where there is sin, healing where there is brokenness, and wisdom where there is confusion. Direct their steps, Lord, and if this relationship is not honoring to You, give them the courage to walk in obedience, even if it is painful.
For those who are suffering, we ask for Your peace that surpasses all understanding to guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Remind them that You are working all things together for their good, conforming them to the image of Your Son (Romans 8:28-29). Give them patience in affliction and joy in hope, steadfast in prayer (Romans 12:12).
If there is unforgiveness, bitterness, or sin entangling their heart, we pray You would expose it and grant them repentance leading to life. May they find their ultimate comfort in You, not in any human relationship, for You alone are their portion and their cup (Psalm 16:5).
We rebuked any spiritual attack against them, declaring that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Fill them with the Holy Spirit, that they may walk in victory and not in defeat.
In the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to meditate on God’s Word daily, especially in this season of trial. Cling to promises like Isaiah 41:10: *"Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness."* Keep seeking the Lord, and do not lose heart. He is faithful, and He will sustain you. If you are walking in disobedience, now is the time to repent and turn to Him. His grace is sufficient, and His mercy is new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). Trust in Him alone.
