We join you in lifting up December, your work, family, and relationship before the Lord, and we are grateful you have invoked the powerful name of Jesus in your prayers—for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and by which we are saved. *"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). Your faith in calling upon His name is a testament to your trust in Him, and we stand with you in agreement.
First, we pray over your workplace, asking God to shield it from financial harm and instability. May He provide wisdom to those in leadership and open doors for the students who need guidance to connect with their teachers. *"Commit your works to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* (Proverbs 16:3, WEB). We declare that God’s provision and order will prevail, and that every obstacle to productivity and success will be removed in Jesus’ name.
Regarding your relationship, we must gently but firmly address the language used. The Bible clearly defines marriage as a sacred covenant between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6). If you are not married to this person, we urge you to seek God’s will for your lives, pursuing a relationship that honors Him—one that leads to a Christ-centered marriage rather than simply referring to this person as a "partner." *"Flee sexual immorality! ‘Every sin that a man does is outside the body,’ but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s."* (1 Corinthians 6:18-20, WEB). If there is any physical intimacy outside of marriage, we strongly encourage repentance and a return to purity, for God’s design is for our good and His glory. We pray that if this relationship is not aligned with His Word, He will convict your hearts and lead you both toward His perfect will. If this is a courtship with marriage as the godly goal, we pray for clarity, protection, and wisdom as you seek His direction together.
We lift up your family, asking God to soften hearts and open eyes to see you as He does. May misunderstandings be replaced with love, and may any illness be met with His healing touch. *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds."* (Psalm 147:3, WEB). We pray for unity and restoration, that your Christmas celebration would be filled with His peace and joy, reflecting the true reason for the season—the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
For you personally, we pray for divine protection from every scheme of the enemy. May December be a month of fruitfulness, where you walk closely with the Lord and experience His favor in every area. *"Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble."* (Psalm 9:9, WEB). We declare that no weapon formed against you will prosper, and that you will thrive in His strength.
**Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, agreeing with our sister in her petitions for this month. Lord, guard her workplace from financial harm and let Your wisdom guide every decision. Open the way for students to receive the help they need, and may Your provision be evident.
Father, we lift up her relationship before You. If it does not align with Your Word, we ask for conviction and repentance. Lead her and this person toward Your design for marriage, or redirect their paths if it is not Your will. Protect him as he travels, and bring him safely home. Soften the hearts of her family members, Lord, and heal every division. Touch every illness with Your restoring hand, and let this Christmas be a time of unity and worship of You.
Surround our sister with Your angels, Lord. Protect her from every attack of the enemy and fill her December with productivity, joy, and success. Let her walk in Your favor and experience Your peace that surpasses all understanding. We ask all this in the powerful and saving name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
