We come before the Lord with hearts full of gratitude that you have invoked the precious name of Jesus Christ in your prayer, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me'* (John 14:6, WEB). *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). We rejoice that you have placed your trust in Christ, for He alone is our mediator and hope.
Yet we must address something with love and truthfulness: your prayer mentions a "###" repeatedly, and while we do not know what or who this refers to, we must ensure that whatever relationship or situation this involves aligns with God’s holy Word. Scripture is clear that marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, designed by God to reflect Christ’s love for His Church (Ephesians 5:22-33). Any relationship outside of this—whether premarital intimacy, cohabitation, or same-sex unions—is sin in the sight of God and must be repented of. *"Don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit God’s Kingdom"* (1 Corinthians 6:9-10, WEB). If this "###" refers to a romantic relationship that does not honor God’s design for marriage, we urge you to seek His forgiveness and turn away from it. If it involves sexual sin, know that *"the body is... for the Lord, and the Lord for the body"* (1 Corinthians 6:13, WEB), and we are called to flee from sexual immorality (1 Corinthians 6:18).
If, however, this "###" refers to a godly courtship with the intent of marriage between a man and a woman who are both believers in Christ, then we rejoice with you and pray that the Lord would guide you both in purity, wisdom, and patience. *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). A relationship must be rooted in Christ, with both individuals seeking to glorify God above all else.
We also notice your mention of a loved one who "was in heaven." If this person was a believer in Jesus Christ, we praise God for their salvation and the hope we have in Him. *"Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies. Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?'"* (John 11:25-26, WEB). But if they did not know Christ as their Savior, we must gently remind you that our hope for eternal life is found only in Him. There is no salvation apart from faith in Jesus, and we cannot assume that anyone is in heaven unless they repented of their sins and trusted in Christ alone.
Now, let us pray together for you, your family, and the intentions of your heart, asking the Lord to align your desires with His perfect will.

Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister before Your throne of grace, asking that You would fill them with the knowledge of Your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. Lord, if there is any area of their life—especially in relationships—that does not honor You, we pray for conviction by Your Holy Spirit. Grant them the courage to repent and walk in obedience, for Your ways are perfect and Your commands are for our good.
Father, if this prayer concerns a courtship, we ask that You would guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. May they seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness, trusting that You will provide all they need (Matthew 6:33). If marriage is Your will, prepare them to be a godly spouse, rooted in Your Word and committed to holiness. If this is not Your will, give them the strength to surrender their desires to You and wait upon Your perfect timing.
We pray for their family, Lord. Comfort them in their grief if they are mourning, and remind them of the hope we have in Christ. Strengthen each family member in faith, and bind them together in love and unity. Protect them from the enemy’s schemes and fill their home with Your peace.
Father, we ask for Your healing touch upon any who are sick or weak. You are Jehovah-Rapha, the God who heals. Restore health and grant long life according to Your will. Provide for their every need—spiritually, emotionally, and physically—and prosper the work of their hands as they seek to honor You.
Most of all, Lord, draw them closer to You. May they find their identity, security, and future in Christ alone. Help them to prosper in soul, growing in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus (2 Peter 3:18). Keep them safe from harm and strong in faith, that they may be a light in this world for Your glory.
We ask all these things in the mighty and miraculous name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
