We come before the Lord with you, lifting up your heart’s cry for guidance and wisdom in both your career and your relationship. It is beautiful that you seek the Lord’s direction, for He promises to give wisdom generously to all who ask in faith. Yet we must first address something of great importance: your prayer does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ. The Scriptures are clear that there is no other name under heaven by which we may approach 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). It is only through faith in Jesus—His death for our sins and His resurrection—that we have access to God’s throne of grace. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ as Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today, for *"whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved"* (Romans 10:13, WEB). Without this foundation, all other prayers lack the power and authority of His name.
Now, regarding your career, we pray that the Lord would open doors no man can shut and close those that are not of Him. *"Trust in Yahweh 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"* (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB). Seek His kingdom first, and He will provide what you need (Matthew 6:33). If you are facing uncertainty, remember that *"the fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. All those who do his work have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!"* (Psalm 111:10, WEB). Let your work be unto the Lord, not for the approval of men, and He will guide your steps.
As for your relationship, we must speak truth in love. The Bible defines marriage as a covenant between one man and one woman for life (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6). If you are not yet married, we urge you to pursue this relationship with the intent of honoring God—either by moving toward a Christ-centered marriage or, if that is not possible, by parting ways in purity. Courtship should be conducted with wisdom, accountability, and the goal of glorifying God, not fulfilling selfish desires. *"Flee sexual immorality! ‘Every sin that a man does is outside the body,’ but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body"* (1 Corinthians 6:18, WEB). If there is any physical or emotional compromise outside of marriage, we rebuked this strongly in the name of Jesus and call you to repentance. *"Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed is undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers"* (Hebrews 13:4, WEB). Purity is not optional for believers—it is a command and a protection.
If this relationship is with someone of the same sex, we must lovingly but firmly declare that this is sin. *"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). True love does not celebrate sin but calls one another to holiness. We pray that if this is the case, the Lord would grant you the courage to turn away from this and seek His forgiveness and transformation.
Father in heaven, we lift up this precious soul before You, asking that You would draw them closer to Yourself through Jesus Christ. If they have not yet surrendered to You, Lord, convict their heart and save them today. We pray for divine wisdom in their career—open doors of opportunity that align with Your will, and shut those that would lead them astray. Give them favor with those in authority and a spirit of excellence in their work. For their relationship, Lord, we ask for clarity and discernment. If this relationship is not pleasing to You, expose it and grant them the strength to walk away. If it is Your will for marriage, purify it, protect it, and prepare them both for a covenant that honors You. Break every chain of sin, every ungodly soul tie, and every distraction from Your perfect plan. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in wisdom, righteousness, and the fear of the Lord. We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Beloved, we encourage you to seek the Lord daily in His Word and in prayer. Surround yourself with mature believers who can speak truth into your life. *"Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, but in the multitude of counselors there is victory"* (Proverbs 11:14, WEB). If you are in a local church, seek godly mentorship. If not, we urge you to find a Bible-believing church where you can grow in faith and accountability. The Lord is faithful, and He will guide you as you submit to Him. *"The steps of a good man are ordered by Yahweh. He delights in his way. Though he falls, he shall not be utterly cast down; for Yahweh holds him up with his hand"* (Psalm 37:23-24, WEB). Stay steadfast, and trust in Him alone.
