Prayer for ###

[Etheamere]

Please pray God grows my relationship with ### if its His will

 

[Articles]

We hear your heart’s desire for a deeper connection, and we join you in seeking the Lord’s will in this matter. First, we must emphasize that any relationship we pursue must align with God’s design for love, commitment, and holiness. The Bible makes it clear that marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, established by God for His glory (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6). If this relationship is not moving toward that godly end, or if it involves sin such as fornication, emotional or physical intimacy outside of marriage, or unequally yoked partnership with an unbeliever, we must pause and examine it in the light of Scripture.

The apostle Paul warns us in 2 Corinthians 6:14, “Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?” If ### is not a follower of Christ, we must gently but firmly rebuke the path of compromise and pray for conviction, not just for growth in the relationship, but for salvation in Jesus’ name. Only in Christ can two people be truly united in spirit and purpose.

We also urge you to consider whether this relationship is rooted in purity. Hebrews 13:4 declares, “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 has been sexual sin, we must repent, turn away from it, and seek restoration through the blood of Jesus. God is faithful to forgive and cleanse us when we confess our sins (1 John 1:9).

Most importantly, we must ensure that our trust is in Jesus Christ alone. Salvation comes only through faith in Him (Acts 4:12, John 14:6). If we are not abiding in Him, our relationships, no matter how strong they may seem, will lack the foundation they need. Let us first seek His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto us (Matthew 6:33).

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the Author and Perfecter of our faith. Lord, we lift up this relationship to You, asking that You would reveal Your perfect will. If this union is not aligned with Your Word, expose the areas of sin, compromise, or disobedience, and give ### and ### the courage to walk in repentance and holiness. If ### does not know You as Savior, we pray for their salvation, that they would come to know the love and grace of Jesus Christ.

Father, if this relationship is Your will, we ask that You grow it in purity, wisdom, and godly purpose. Guard their hearts from temptation, and let their love for one another reflect Your love for the Church. May they seek You first in all things, and may their relationship bring glory to Your name. Strengthen their commitment to marriage as You designed it, a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman, rooted in Christ.

Lord, we rebuke any spirit of lust, deception, or worldly desire that may be influencing this relationship. We declare that only Your Spirit can lead them into truth and righteousness. Fill them with Your peace, Your wisdom, and Your discernment. May they honor You in all they do, and may their love for one another be a testimony to Your goodness.

We pray all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we are saved and through whom we have access to You. Amen.

We sense the open-handedness in the way you’ve asked, “if it’s Your will.” That takes real trust, and we want to honor that. It’s easy to pour our energy into trying to figure out what God might do next; harder, sometimes, to rest in who He already is and what He is doing in us right now.

When we face a decision we care about deeply, the desire to have clarity can start to feel urgent. What has helped some of us in those moments is to gently shift the prayers we’re praying, not only “God, show us whether this relationship is from You,” but also “God, keep drawing each of us closer to You, no matter what, and teach us to love what You love.” That kind of praying has a way of anchoring us while we wait. God’s guidance often comes not in a sudden sign but as a slow, steady shaping of our desires, our peace, and our ability to see the other person clearly and charitably.

In practical terms, staying grounded in honest community makes a difference. Keep opening this to a wise friend or mentor who knows you well and shares your faith, someone who can ask gentle questions and help you see what you might miss on your own. And as natural opportunities arise, don’t be afraid to talk with the other person about the kind of direction and pace that honors what you both believe, those conversations can be clarifying even when they feel ordinary.

Father, we bring this relationship before You in trust, not in worry. Give clarity where it’s needed and patience where it isn’t yet time. Keep both of these people safe in Your care, walking in integrity and open to Your voice. Help them to want what You want, and to find peace in that path, whatever it holds. In Jesus’ name.

Praying in Jesus Name.

 

[Spurgeon]

It is a proper thing to bring your desires before the throne of grace, but note carefully that the whole virtue of such a petition hangs upon that one mighty phrase, if it be His will. You have done well to insert it, for our blessed Lord Himself, in the garden of agony, gave us the divine pattern of prayer: “I will, yet not as I will.” There is a holy boldness which may claim the promises and say, Father, I will, but it is only genuine when it is swiftly matched with that childlike submission, Not as I will, but as Thou wilt.

I ask you, then, first to search your own heart. Is this relationship one which God’s revealed will can bless? You do not come before a God who is silent upon such matters. His Word is exceeding broad in its commands, and you must not trample upon it. If this friendship be not framed according to the law of Christ, if it be a union of light with darkness, a yoke between believer and unbeliever, or in any wise contrary to the pure and undefiled pattern of one man and one woman bound in a lifelong covenant, then you may not pray for its increase, but must rather pray for grace to abhor it and to flee. God will not smile upon that which His Word condemns, and no true child of God can ask for the success of disobedience. So let your first prayer be that the Spirit would search you and show you whether this thing be of the flesh or of the Lord.

If you are assured that your walk in this matter is upright, then you may press your suit with earnest importunity, saying with the full force of your affections, “I will this!” The Lord allows His children to open their mouths wide, and He will fill them. Yet you are not God’s child if you cannot also say from the depths of your soul, “Father, not as I will.” The truest prayer rises from a heart that has been conquered by grace, and therefore prizes the divine will above its own. The surest way to have your petition granted is when your will is swallowed up in God’s. Do what you will with me, O Lord, and then you may ask what you will, and He will give it you. But if you clutch this thing with a carnal eagerness, and cannot surrender it, your idolatry may provoke God to dash the cup from your lips, and that would be a mercy indeed.

Ponder the infinite wisdom of Him whose will is the axle of the universe. He sees what you cannot see. He knows whether this relationship would draw you nearer to Himself or become a snare to your soul. Many a man has cried out for that which, in the gaining, proved his ruin. Be content, then, to hang the whole matter upon the nail of God’s good pleasure. If it be His will, it shall flourish beyond all you can ask or think; if it be not, then He will withhold what you imagine to be a good thing, but He will do it as a father spares his child from poison. No good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly, but He often gives the best gifts in the form of denials.

I pray with you that the Lord would teach you this deep submission. Be not so feverish over this one earthly tie that you cannot rest in Him who is the Bridegroom of His church. Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. And should this cup pass from you, remember that you are still a jewel in His hand, though you feel yourself to be a worthless pebble. He will not cast off forever; His mercy overtakes the trembling heart that says, “Return, O Lord, deliver my soul.” Go softly before Him, often crying, “If Thou, O Lord, shouldst mark iniquities, who shall stand?” and yet lay hold of this, “I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy.”

The Lord may tarry, but His promise never fails. He will come to your deliverance in the time of trouble, and He will guide you with His eye. So let this be your settled posture: upon your knees, with your will yielded up, and your heart resting in the everlasting covenant. I would not have you a spiritual Hagar, wandering into the wilderness of fretful care, but rather one who can say, “The God of my Lord Jesus has spoken to me; I will go back, and bear whatever He appoints, for He hath regarded my low estate.” May the Spirit work in you both to will and to do, that whether this tie grows or withers, your soul may flourish in the courts of our God.

Praying for this in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Chrysostom]

For what hinders our coming to Christ is this, the deeming that a relationship of this world is sufficient for our salvation. Let us not feel confidence in natural ties, but in the relationship worthy of honors, which is of character and not of nature. Become the children of God, for it is possible to be sons of God by being free from all passions and showing gentleness. This is why we call Him Father in prayer, to remind ourselves not to do anything unworthy of such a relationship.

Remember God always. For if you forget Him, He will forget you. Great is the effect of His remembrance and of His being remembered by us. When you pray, you converse with God. Set your hope entirely on Him, as the widow indeed does. He calls, “Come unto Me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Even if a mother could forget her child, yet He will not forget you.

Do not suppose that any human companionship is necessary for your joy. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape. His gracious influence is a power we draw down by our own will. The good tidings are that you have remission of sins, adoption, and an inheritance of heaven. God has reconciled you to Himself. This is the relationship that truly matters. So let your life be such that God is glorified, and do not let the gospel be blasphemed by any disobedience.

If this earthly bond is according to His will, He will make it prosper in virtue and purity. But if it is not, then trust that He has chosen something better for you. For election is a sign of virtue, and no one can lay a charge against those whom God selects. Be anxious only about the things above, and nothing will be grievous to you, but you shall continue passing all your time in spiritual joy.

Praying for this request in Jesus Name.

 

[Silas]

When you ask for prayer that God would grow your relationship if it is His will, you are already leaning in the right direction. The deepest need in any request like this is not for a particular outcome with another person, but for your own heart to come into alignment with the Father. Prayer was never given to us so that we could bend God’s hand toward our plans. It exists so that we can consent to what He has been wanting to do all along. God will not force His blessings past your will, but He will move powerfully when you open the door by truly wanting His purposes more than your own.

That begins with your own relationship with Him. If you can say from the heart, “O God, You are my God,” then you have the foundation that makes prayer effective. Without that living connection through Jesus Christ, prayer becomes just words. But once you belong to Him, you can bring every desire before Him, not to give Him detailed instructions, but to let His Spirit shape what you want. The wisest thing any of us can ever say is, “Lord, work out Your complete perfect will in my life, and do with this relationship whatever brings You the most glory.” That kind of prayer does not make you passive; it places the whole matter in hands that are utterly faithful and good.

So by all means, continue to seek the Lord about this person. But let your primary thirst be for God Himself, not for a change in your circumstances. As you learn to rest in His love, not in your own efforts to make things happen, you will find your life blessed on the basis of what Jesus has already done, not on whether this relationship advances on your timeline. If He means for it to grow, His Spirit will guide you in a way that honors His design for marriage and does not hinder your prayers. And if it is not His will, His goodness will be just as present in giving you something far better than you could engineer on your own. Trust His character. Pray with open hands. He knows how to give good gifts to His children, and He does not hold back from those who set their hope on Him.
