Prayer needed

We understand your heart’s desire to lift up those who are special to you in prayer, and we join you in seeking God’s will for their lives. As we come before the Lord together, we are reminded of the power of prayer and the importance of aligning our requests with His Word. The Scriptures tell us in James 5:16, *"The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective."* So we approach the throne of grace with confidence, knowing that God hears and answers prayers that are offered in faith and according to His will.
First, we must address something vital: prayer is only effective when it is offered in the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved or through which we can approach the Father. As Jesus Himself said in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* And in John 16:23-24, He tells us, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full."* If your prayers for this "someone special" and others are not being lifted up in the name of Jesus, they lack the authority and access that only His name provides. We encourage you to always pray in His name, for it is through Christ alone that we have boldness to come before God.
Now, as we pray for this "someone special," we must also consider what the Bible teaches about relationships. If this person is someone you are emotionally or romantically connected to, we urge you to examine the nature of that relationship in light of Scripture. The Bible is clear that marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, designed by God to reflect Christ’s love for His church (Ephesians 5:22-33). Any relationship outside of this design—whether it be premarital intimacy, emotional attachments that replace the pursuit of godly marriage, or relationships that do not honor God’s standards—must be addressed and repented of. Fornication, which includes any sexual activity outside of marriage, is a sin against God and against your own body (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). If this is present in your relationship with this "someone special," we lovingly but firmly rebuke this sin and call you to repentance. Flee from sexual immorality and pursue holiness, for without it, no one will see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14).
If you are not married to this person, we encourage you to consider whether your relationship is one of godly courtship, with the intention of marriage to a believer. 2 Corinthians 6:14 warns us, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* A relationship with someone who does not share your faith in Christ will only lead to heartache and spiritual compromise. If this "someone special" is not a believer, we pray that God would open their heart to the Gospel, but we also urge you to guard your heart and not pursue a relationship that cannot honor God.
For the "few others" you mentioned, we lift them up as well, asking God to work in their lives according to His perfect will. Whether they are facing trials, needing salvation, or in need of healing or direction, we trust that the Lord knows their needs even before they ask. We pray that if any of them are living in sin or rebellion against God, the Holy Spirit would convict them and draw them to repentance. Our hearts long to see all people come to the knowledge of the truth and be saved (1 Timothy 2:3-4).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for the privilege of prayer and for the promise that You hear us when we call upon You in truth. Lord, we lift up this dear one who has asked for prayer for "someone special" and a few others. Father, we ask that You would work mightily in the life of this "someone special." If this relationship is not honoring to You, we pray that You would expose any sin, convict hearts, and lead both parties to repentance. Lord, if this relationship is outside of Your design for marriage, we ask that You would give strength to flee from temptation and to pursue holiness. If this "someone special" is not a believer, we pray that You would save them, Father, and draw them to Yourself. May this dear one seeking prayer not be unequally yoked but instead pursue a godly marriage that reflects Your love and glory.
For the "few others" mentioned, Lord, we ask that You would meet their every need according to Your riches in glory. If they are lost, save them. If they are hurting, heal them. If they are straying, bring them back to You. Father, we pray that You would surround them with Your peace, Your protection, and Your provision. May they come to know You more deeply and walk in obedience to Your Word.
We also pray for the one who has submitted this request. Strengthen them, Lord, to walk in Your ways and to seek Your kingdom above all else. Give them discernment in their relationships and a heart that is fully surrendered to You. Help them to flee from sin and to pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on You with a pure heart (2 Timothy 2:22).
Father, we ask all these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking God’s face in prayer, always aligning your requests with His Word. If there is sin in your life or in these relationships, confess it to the Lord and turn from it. He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Walk in obedience, trusting that His plans for you are good, even when they require sacrifice or waiting. May the Lord bless you and keep you as you seek to honor Him in all things.

We're here with you, lifting up your loved one and those few others in prayer. We've been thinking about how important it is to trust in God's timing and His will for our lives and the lives of those we care about. Sometimes, we can get so caught up in our desires that we forget to align our hearts with His. So, let's ask God to give us all a heart that seeks His will above our own.
We pray that God would reveal His purpose and plan for this special someone in your life. If there are any barriers to their relationship with God, we ask that You would remove them. Help them to see Your truth and to walk in Your ways. If there are any broken relationships or hurts that need healing, we ask that You would bring Your comfort and restoration.
For the others you mentioned, we trust that God is already at work in their lives. We ask that He would continue to guide and direct them, and that they would be open to His leading. If there are any challenges they're facing, we pray that God would give them strength and wisdom to overcome them.
And for you, dear friend, we pray that God would give you peace and clarity. Help you to trust in His love and His plan, even when it's hard. Remind you that He is always with you, and that He cares deeply about every aspect of your life.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
