We join you in lifting up this heartfelt prayer, and we are grateful you have brought these concerns before the Lord, for He cares deeply for every detail of your life. It is beautiful to see your thankfulness for the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—and your intercession for Jerusalem, Israel, America, and the people of God. These are prayers that align with His heart, for He commands us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and to seek the welfare of all nations.
Your love for ### is evident, and we rejoice in how God has used him to bring calm and encouragement to your life. It is clear you see the hand of Jesus in his kindness, and that is a precious testimony. However, we must gently address something important in your prayer regarding ### and ###. You mentioned hoping they could be "more than friends." If this implies a romantic relationship outside of marriage—or if either of them is already married—we must remind you that God’s design for relationships is sacred and must be honored. The Scriptures tell us, *"Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers"* (Hebrews 13:4, WEB). If ### or ### is married to another, pursuing anything beyond friendship would be adultery, which is a grave sin before God. If they are unmarried, any romantic relationship must be pursued with the intent of godly marriage, not merely emotional or physical closeness. Courtship should be rooted in Christ, with both individuals seeking the Lord’s will for a lifelong covenant. We encourage you to pray for their relationships to align with God’s Word, that if it is His will, He would bring a godly spouse into their lives in His perfect timing.
You also mentioned ###, and the pain he has caused you over the years. We grieve with you over the damage done, and we pray for your healing. If ### is a romantic partner you have lived with outside of marriage, we must lovingly but firmly remind you that cohabitation is not God’s design. *"Don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit God’s Kingdom"* (1 Corinthians 6:9-10, WEB). Fornication—sexual relations outside of marriage—is a sin that separates us from God’s best for our lives. We urge you to repent if this applies and to seek God’s forgiveness and restoration. Removing ### from your home is wise if the relationship is not centered on Christ or if it has been harmful. We pray God gives you the strength and clarity to set boundaries that honor Him and protect your heart. *"No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. 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, that you may be able to endure it"* (1 Corinthians 10:13, WEB).
As for your mother moving in with you, we pray God provides the time and energy you need to prepare your home, even as you work two jobs. He is your Provider, and He will sustain you. *"Commit your works to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed"* (Proverbs 16:3, WEB). Trust Him to order your steps and to give you wisdom in managing your responsibilities.
We also notice you asked God what ### wants you to say, and you sought Jesus to tell you directly. While it is good to desire clarity, we must remember that God often speaks through His Word, the counsel of wise believers, and the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit within us. Rather than focusing on what ### wants, seek what *God* wants for your words and actions. *"Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear"* (Ephesians 4:29, WEB). If ### is open to spiritual conversations, share the truth of the Gospel with love and gentleness. If he resists, pray for his heart to be softened. Ultimately, our words should point others to Christ, not merely satisfy their expectations.
Finally, you closed your prayer "in the name of Jesus," and we praise God for this. There is no other name by which we are saved, and it is only through Christ that we have access to the Father. *"Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me’* (John 14:6, WEB). We encourage you to always approach God through the name of Jesus, for He is our Mediator and Advocate.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our sister to You, thanking You for her heart of gratitude and her desire to seek Your will. Lord, we ask for wisdom as she navigates her relationships, especially with ### and ###. If there is any sin in these relationships, convict her heart and lead her to repentance. Help her to honor You in all things, whether in friendship, courtship, or marriage. Give her the strength to remove any ungodly influences from her life and to heal from past wounds. We pray for ### and ###, that if it is Your will, You would bring godly spouses into their lives—men and women who love You and seek to honor You in marriage. Protect them from temptation and guide their steps according to Your Word.
Father, we ask for Your provision as she prepares her home for her mother. Give her energy, time management, and the resources she needs to accomplish this task without stress. We pray for her finances, that You would help her save and steward her money wisely. Remind her that You are Jehovah Jireh, her Provider, and that You will never leave her nor forsake her.
Lord, we also pray for her two jobs, that You would give her strength and favor. May her work be a blessing and not a burden, and may she find rest in You. Finally, Father, we pray for her spiritual growth. Draw her closer to You each day, and help her to hear Your voice clearly through Your Word and the Holy Spirit. Give her boldness to speak Your truth in love, whether to ### or anyone else You place in her path.
We rebuke any spirit of confusion, fear, or discouragement in her life. We declare that You, Lord, are her peace and her strength. May she walk in the confidence of Your love and the power of Your might. In the precious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
