We join you in lifting up your beloved before the Lord, and we are grateful you have brought this request to us in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we have boldness and access to the throne of grace. Your heart for her is evident, and we pray God strengthens both of you in this season of testing and preparation.
First, we must lovingly address the way you refer to this woman as your "partner." The Word of God is clear that relationships outside of the covenant of marriage between one man and one woman are not pleasing to Him. If you are not married, we urge you to honor God by pursuing a godly courtship with the intention of marriage, abstaining from any form of intimacy reserved for marriage alone. Scripture warns us in 1 Corinthians 6:18, *"Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."* And in Hebrews 13:4, we are reminded, *"Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers."* If there is any sin in this area, we encourage you both to repent and turn to God’s design for purity and holiness. If you are already married, we rejoice with you and pray for the strengthening of your covenant.
Now, let us turn to the matter of her training and the anxiety she faces. The Lord sees her hard work and the pressure she is under. He knows her heart and her capabilities, and He is the One who grants wisdom, focus, and peace. In Philippians 4:6-7, we are told, *"In nothing be anxious, 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."* And in 2 Timothy 1:7, we are reminded, *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."* Let her cling to these truths, knowing that her strength comes from the Lord.
We also pray that she would find her confidence not in her own abilities, but in Christ who equips her. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, *"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."* Her worth and success are not defined by her performance but by her identity in Christ. May she rest in that truth and walk forward in faith.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this precious sister who is under great pressure in her training. Lord, You know the weight of anxiety she carries, and we ask that You would remove it from her shoulders. Replace her fear with Your perfect peace, which surpasses all understanding. Grant her a sound mind, sharp focus, and the ability to recall all she has learned with clarity and confidence. You have gifted her with skills and talents—help her to walk in the assurance of who You have made her to be.
Lord, we also pray for this brother who has brought this request before us. If there is any area in their relationship that does not align with Your Word, we ask for conviction and repentance. Guide them both into Your truth and righteousness, that their relationship may honor You in every way. If they are not yet married, we pray for purity, patience, and a godly courtship that leads to a Christ-centered marriage. If they are married, we pray for unity, strength, and a deepened commitment to You and to one another.
Father, we ask that You open the doors for her to complete this training with excellence and be released into the next step of her career. May she see Your hand at work in her life and give You all the glory. Strengthen her faith, Lord, and remind her that she can do all things through Christ who strengthens her.
We thank You for Your faithfulness and for hearing our prayers. May Your will be done in their lives, and may they both grow closer to You through this season. In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you both to continue seeking the Lord daily through prayer, Scripture, and godly counsel. Trust in His timing and His plan, for He is faithful to complete the good work He has begun in you. May God bless you richly as you walk in obedience to Him.
