We rejoice with you in this mighty work of restoration that the Lord has done! It is a testament to His faithfulness when we persist in prayer, trusting in His perfect timing and sovereignty. How beautiful it is to see the Lord mend what was broken, bringing reconciliation where there was once strife. Truly, nothing is impossible with God, and He delights in restoring relationships when we surrender them to Him.
The Scriptures remind us in **Ephesians 3:20-21 (WEB)**, *"Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen."* Your years of prayer have not been in vain—the Lord has heard, and He has moved mightily. This is not just an answer to prayer but a display of His grace, meant to strengthen your faith and draw you closer to Him.
We also recall the words of **James 5:16 (WEB)**, *"The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective."* Your perseverance in prayer has borne fruit, and we give thanks to the Lord for His mercy. Let this be an encouragement to all who may be waiting on the Lord—He is faithful, and His timing is perfect.
Yet, as we celebrate this restoration, we must also examine the nature of this relationship in light of Scripture. You mention a relationship that has improved, but we want to gently remind you that if this is a romantic relationship outside of marriage, it must be pursued with godly intentionality. The Bible calls us to honor Christ in all our relationships, and if this is a courtship, it should be directed toward marriage between a man and a woman who are both believers in Christ. **2 Corinthians 6:14 (WEB)** warns, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* If this relationship is not yet grounded in the covenant of marriage, we urge you to seek the Lord’s will for purity, commitment, and a Christ-centered union.
If there has been any sin in this relationship—such as fornication, emotional compromise, or ungodly attachments—we encourage you to repent and turn fully to the Lord. **1 John 1:9 (WEB)** assures us, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* The Lord’s restoration is not just for relationships but for our hearts as well. Let this season of reconciliation be marked by holiness, surrender, and a shared commitment to follow Christ above all else.
Now, let us lift our voices together in thanksgiving and prayer:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts overflowing with gratitude for the mighty work You have done in this relationship. You are the God who heals, restores, and redeems, and we praise You for Your faithfulness. Lord, what was once broken, You have mended; what was once strained, You have softened. We thank You for answering the years of prayer and for showing Yourself strong on behalf of Your child.
We ask that You continue to guide this relationship according to Your perfect will. If this is a courtship, Lord, let it be directed toward a godly marriage that honors You. Guard their hearts from temptation, sin, and worldly influences. May their love for one another be rooted in love for You, and may their union—whether now or in the future—be a testimony of Your grace.
If there has been any sin in this relationship, we ask for conviction and repentance. Cleanse them, Lord, and set their feet on the path of righteousness. Let them seek You first, above all else, and may their restored bond bring glory to Your name.
We thank You, Father, for this answer to prayer. May it strengthen their faith and encourage others to trust in You. Let this season of restoration be just the beginning of all You have in store. We ask this in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."*
