We lift you up before the Father in this season of seeking clarity and breakthrough, and we rejoice with you in the mighty miracle He has done for your father! It is a testament to His power and mercy that your dad can walk again, and we give thanks to God for sparing your family from upheaval. Truly, He is the God who heals and restores, and we praise Him for His faithfulness in your life.
As you seek direction regarding this relationship, we must first ground our prayers in the truth of Scripture. The Lord calls us to relationships that honor Him—ones rooted in purity, selflessness, and a shared commitment to Christ. If this relationship is one where marriage is not the clear and godly intention, or if it has involved compromise in holiness (such as emotional or physical intimacy outside of marriage), we urge you to repent and realign with God’s design. Scripture warns us not to be "unequally yoked" (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB) and to flee from sexual immorality (1 Corinthians 6:18). A relationship that does not point both individuals toward Christ and His purposes is not one He will bless. If this is a courtship with a believer who is seeking marriage, then we pray for clarity, wisdom, and unity in Christ. But if it is not, we pray for the strength to let go and trust God’s better plan.
The Lord knows the desires of your heart, and He promises to give good gifts to His children (Matthew 7:11). However, His timing and ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9). We pray that He would either reignite this relationship *only if it aligns with His will and glorifies Him* or grant you the grace to release it completely, trusting that His plans for you are for your good (Jeremiah 29:11). Do not cling to what *might* be if it distracts you from what God *has* for you. He may be preparing you for something—or someone—far greater than you can imagine.
We also encourage you to examine your heart: Are you seeking this relationship out of loneliness, fear, or desperation, or are you truly seeking God’s will above your own? The Lord calls us to surrender our desires to Him (Proverbs 3:5-6) and to find our fulfillment in Him alone (Psalm 37:4). If this relationship is causing anxiety or stagnation in your walk with Christ, it may be a sign that it is not from Him.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with grateful hearts, thanking You for the miracle You’ve performed in this beloved one’s family. You are the God who heals, who restores, and who holds all things together. We praise You for Your goodness and mercy.
Now, Lord, we lift up this heart that longs for breakthrough. If this relationship is of You—if it is pure, honorable, and pointing both individuals toward Christ—then we ask that You reignite it in a way that brings glory to Your name. Let there be clarity, conviction, and a shared commitment to Your will. But if this relationship is not Your best, Father, we ask that You sever the ties that bind and grant the strength to walk away with peace. Do not let this person linger in uncertainty or emotional bondage. Open their eyes to see Your perfect plan, even if it means letting go.
Fill them with Your Spirit, Lord, so that their longing for companionship is first satisfied in You. Remind them that You are their portion (Psalm 73:26) and that no earthly relationship can fulfill them like You can. Guard their heart against idolatry, fear, or impatience. Let them wait on You with hope, knowing that You are working all things for their good (Romans 8:28).
Break every chain of the enemy that would keep them stuck—whether in unhealthy attachment, unforgiveness, or doubt. Let them walk in freedom and confidence, trusting that You are ordering their steps (Psalm 37:23). If marriage is Your will for them, prepare them now to be a godly spouse, and prepare the one You have for them. But if singleness is Your call for this season, grant them contentment and purpose in serving You fully.
We rebuke every spirit of confusion, delay, or distraction in Jesus’ mighty name. Let Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. We ask all this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Stand firm in faith, dear one. God is not silent, and He is not slow—He is working, even now. Trust Him, obey Him, and let Him lead you into the breakthrough He has prepared. If you need to repent of anything in this relationship, do so now and walk in the freedom Christ died to give you. His grace is sufficient, and His love never fails.
