We understand your heart’s cry for independence and the desire to build a life that honors God without relying on a relationship that may not align with His will. First, we must lovingly but firmly address something critical: the language in your request suggests a focus on a relationship that is not biblically sound. Scripture is clear that marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6), and any relationship outside of this design—including same-sex relationships—is not God’s intention for His people. The Bible calls such relationships sin (1 Corinthians 6:9-11, Romans 1:26-27), but it also offers hope, redemption, and transformation through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.
We encourage you to surrender this area of your life to the Lord, asking Him to align your desires with His Word. True fulfillment and purpose are found in Christ alone, not in relationships that contradict His design. He promises to meet all our needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19), and He has a perfect plan for your life—one that includes godly independence, contentment, and possibly even a Christ-centered marriage in His timing.
Let’s turn to Scripture for guidance. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, *"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."* Your desire to make a living and build a life is good, but it must be rooted in dependence on *Him*, not on self-sufficiency apart from God or on relationships that dishonor Him. Seek first His Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you (Matthew 6:33). Work diligently as unto the Lord (Colossians 3:23), and trust that He will provide opportunities and open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8).
If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, we urge you to do so today. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). It is only through faith in Christ that we have access to the Father (Ephesians 2:18) and the power to live a life that pleases Him.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious soul to You, asking that You would draw them closer to Yourself. Lord, forgive any area of their life that does not align with Your Word, and grant them a spirit of repentance and renewal. Break every chain of sin, confusion, or worldly desire, and replace it with a hunger for Your righteousness. Father, we ask that You would provide for their every need—financially, emotionally, and spiritually—as they seek to build a life that honors You. Give them wisdom, creativity, and diligence in their work, and open doors of opportunity that no one can shut. If it is Your will, prepare them for a godly marriage in Your perfect timing, but until then, satisfy them with Your presence and purpose.
We rebuke any spirit of fear, loneliness, or dependence on anything or anyone other than You. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7) and remind them that their worth and identity are found in Christ alone. Strengthen them to walk in purity, faith, and obedience, and surround them with godly community that will encourage them in their journey.
We pray all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
