We hear the deep longing in your heart for guidance, blessing, and strength—not just for yourself but for someone you care about deeply. Your prayer is earnest, and we join you in lifting these concerns before the Lord. However, we must first address something vital: you have not clearly identified the nature of your relationship with this person. The way you refer to them with symbols instead of clear terms raises questions about whether this relationship aligns with God’s design for marriage and family.
The Bible is unmistakably clear that marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, established by God from the beginning. In Genesis 2:24, we read, *"Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh."* Any relationship outside of this design—whether premarital intimacy, cohabitation, or same-sex relationships—is not in accordance with Scripture. If this person is someone you are romantically involved with outside of marriage, we must lovingly but firmly urge you to repent and seek God’s will for purity and holiness. Fornication and sexual immorality are sins that grieve the Holy Spirit, and Scripture warns us in 1 Corinthians 6:18-20, *"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."*
If this person is a spouse, we rejoice with you and will pray for your marriage to be strengthened in Christ. If they are someone you are courting with the intent of marriage, we pray for godly wisdom and discernment as you seek the Lord’s will together. But if this relationship is not aligned with Scripture, we must call you to surrender it to God, trusting that His plans for you are good, even when they require sacrifice.
We also notice that you mention this person "was in heaven." If you are referring to a loved one who has passed away, we grieve with you and pray for comfort. However, we must clarify that those who have died in Christ are with the Lord, but our prayers should be directed to God alone—not to the deceased. Our intercession is to be made to the Father, through Jesus Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit. There is no biblical basis for praying *to* those who have gone before us, no matter how dear they were. Jesus is our sole Mediator, as 1 Timothy 2:5 declares, *"For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."*
Now, let us pray together for you, trusting that the Lord will lead you into His truth and will.

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Your child who seeks Your guidance and blessing. Lord, we ask that You reveal any area in their life that does not align with Your Word. If there is a relationship that is not holy in Your sight, convict their heart and grant them the courage to repent and walk in obedience. You are a God of mercy, and Your grace is sufficient to break every chain of sin. Cleanse them, Lord, and restore them to a path of righteousness.
If this relationship is one that honors You—a marriage or a courtship with the intent of godly marriage—we pray for unity, strength, and a future rooted in Your will. Bind this couple together in Christ, and let their love be a reflection of Your love for the Church. Grant them wisdom to seek You first in all things, and may their lives bring glory to Your name.
For any grief or loss they carry, we ask for Your comfort, Lord. Remind them that their hope is in You alone, and that You are near to the brokenhearted. Strengthen their faith, and let them find peace in Your sovereign care.
Father, we pray for their health, their family, and their future. Prosper them not just materially, but spiritually—may they grow deep roots in Your Word and bear fruit that lasts. Protect them from the schemes of the enemy, and let Your Holy Spirit be their guide in every decision.
We declare Your promises over them, Lord: that You will never leave them nor forsake them, that Your plans for them are good, and that You are working all things together for their ultimate good and Your glory. May they walk in the confidence of Your love and the assurance of Your salvation.
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
