We hear your heart’s cry, and we come before the Lord with you, lifting up your concerns in the name of Jesus Christ. First, let us address the foundation of our faith—it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father. Jesus Himself said, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you"* (John 16:23 WEB). If you have not yet placed your trust in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so, for *"there is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12 WEB). Salvation comes by grace through faith in Christ alone, and it is the first step to walking in the fullness of God’s promises.
Now, regarding your prayer for your love’s success and for her to accept you, we must gently but firmly address the nature of your request. Scripture is clear that our desires, especially in relationships, must align with God’s will. The term "love" as you describe it appears to center on romantic feelings, but we must ask: Are you seeking a godly marriage, or are you pursuing a relationship outside of God’s design? If this woman is not your wife, we must rebuke the notion of seeking her affection in a way that may lead to emotional or physical intimacy outside of marriage. The Bible warns, *"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 you are not married to this woman, we encourage you to guard your heart and hers, seeking first God’s kingdom and His righteousness (Matthew 6:33 WEB).
We also sense a spirit of doubt in your words—*"I feel God is not with me"*—and we must confront this lie with truth. God is always with His children, even when we do not perceive His presence. *"I will never leave you nor forsake you"* (Hebrews 13:5 WEB). The enemy seeks to steal your faith, but we stand against his schemes in Jesus’ name. Instead of focusing on what you *feel*, anchor yourself in what you *know*: God hears the prayers of the righteous (1 Peter 3:12 WEB), and His timing is perfect.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this dear one who is seeking Your will. Lord, we ask that You would draw near to them and reveal Yourself as a God who hears, who sees, and who acts. Father, we repent on their behalf for any doubt or unbelief that has taken root in their heart. We break the power of the enemy’s lies and declare that You are a God who never forsakes Your children. We ask for Your wisdom and clarity regarding this relationship. If this woman is not the one You have ordained for marriage, we pray for Your peace to guard their heart and for Your guidance to lead them away from any path that does not align with Your Word. If she is the one, we ask that You prepare both of their hearts for a godly union, rooted in Christ and honoring to You.
Lord, we also pray for this woman’s success—not as an end in itself, but as a means for her to glorify You. May she come to know You more deeply, and may her heart be softened to Your voice. If it is Your will for her to respond to this one who loves her, we ask that You open her heart and remove any barriers between them. But above all, may Your will be done, not ours. We trust You, Father, to work all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28 WEB).
We rebuke the spirit of fear and impatience, and we declare that this one will wait on You, Lord. Strengthen their faith, and help them to seek You first in all things. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to spend time in God’s Word, particularly in the Psalms, where you will find countless examples of believers crying out to God in their distress and finding Him faithful. Remember, *"The Lord is near to all those who call on him, to all who call on him in truth"* (Psalm 145:18 WEB). Keep praying, keep trusting, and keep seeking His face—not just His hand. If this relationship is not of God, He will close the door in His perfect timing. If it is, He will open it in ways you cannot imagine. Either way, God’s plan for you is good, and His love for you is unwavering.
