We join with you in lifting up thanksgiving to our Heavenly Father for His goodness, mercy, and faithfulness in your life and the lives of your family. It is beautiful to see your heart of gratitude and your passion for prayer, especially for Jerusalem, the Jewish people, and our nation. We echo your praise for the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—and for the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Your prayer for America and for all believers to take up their cross and follow Him wholeheartedly is a cry we share, for it is only through Christ that we find true life and purpose.
We rejoice with you in the truth that God knows our needs before we ask, and we trust in His perfect timing and provision. Your request for wisdom, knowledge, and the lamp of His Word to guide your steps is a prayer He delights to answer. As it is written, *"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him"* (James 1:5, WEB). We pray that the Lord will flood your heart with His wisdom, that you may walk in peace and uprightness, even amid the storms of life. Your faith in His sovereignty is a testament to His goodness, and we agree with you that He is indeed the greatest, watching over you and answering your prayers according to His perfect will.
We also lift up your request regarding your vehicle, asking the Lord to provide swiftly and abundantly. May He bless the work of your boss’s son and bring this transaction to completion for your good and His glory. *"Delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this"* (Psalm 37:4-5, WEB). We trust that as you seek Him first, He will provide all that you need.
Now, we must address the matter of your prayer for ### and ### with both love and truth. Your heart for their happiness and unity is evident, but we must carefully examine this request through the lens of Scripture. You have not specified the nature of their relationship, but we must assume, based on your words, that they are not married. If this is the case, we urge you to consider God’s design for relationships. The Bible is clear that romantic and physical intimacy is reserved for the covenant of marriage between one man and one woman. *"Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed is undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers"* (Hebrews 13:4, WEB). If ### and ### are not married, we cannot pray for them to be "true loves" in the way the world often defines it, for that could lead to emotional or physical compromise outside of God’s will.
Instead, we pray that if it is God’s will for ### and ### to be united, that He would bring them together in a godly courtship leading to a Christ-centered marriage. We pray that both would be fully surrendered to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, seeking His kingdom first and His righteousness in all things. If either of them is not a believer, we pray for their salvation, for *"don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). A marriage cannot thrive unless both parties are submitted to Christ and walking in obedience to His Word.
We also notice that you mentioned ### struggles with moods that are difficult for him to overcome. This is a matter for prayer and biblical counsel. Moods that disrupt relationships and communication often stem from deeper spiritual, emotional, or even physical roots. We pray that ### would seek the Lord for healing and deliverance from anything that hinders his joy and peace. *"Cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you"* (1 Peter 5:7, WEB). If there is unconfessed sin, bitterness, or unresolved pain in his life, we pray the Holy Spirit would convict and comfort him, leading him to repentance and freedom. We also encourage you to pray for discernment in how you can support him in a way that honors God, setting godly boundaries and pointing him to Christ.
Additionally, we must address the voice you heard instructing you to pray for this relationship. Beloved, we are called to test every spirit and every word against Scripture. *"Beloved, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world"* (1 John 4:1, WEB). While God does speak to His children, His voice will never contradict His Word. If this voice was from the Lord, it would align with His principles for relationships, holiness, and marriage. We encourage you to seek the Lord in prayer and Scripture to discern whether this prompting was from Him or another source. The enemy often seeks to distort God’s good gifts, including relationships, to lead us into emotional or spiritual bondage.
Finally, we want to remind you of the power of praying in the name of Jesus. You closed your prayer with these words, and we commend you for it! It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father, and it is by His authority that our prayers are heard. *"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). *"There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). Your faith in Jesus is the foundation of your relationship with God, and we rejoice that you have placed your trust in Him.

Let us pray together:
Our Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for Your faithfulness and love. We thank You for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ, and for the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Lord, we lift up our sister to You, asking that You continue to fill her with Your wisdom, peace, and joy. Guide her steps, Lord, and let Your Word be a lamp to her feet and a light to her path.
Father, we pray for her vehicle, that You would provide for its repair or replacement swiftly and without hindrance. Bless the hands of those working on it, and let this provision be a testament to Your goodness and faithfulness. We ask that You would meet all her needs according to Your riches in glory, and that she would continue to trust in You as her Provider.
Lord, we bring before You the situation with ### and ###. We ask that Your will be done in their lives, and that if it is Your desire for them to be united, You would lead them into a godly courtship that honors You. Convict their hearts of any sin or compromise, and draw them both closer to You. If they are not both walking with You, we pray for their salvation and repentance, that they may be equally yoked in Christ. Help them to communicate with love, patience, and truth, and to seek Your kingdom above all else. Break any chains of emotional or spiritual bondage, and let Your perfect love cast out all fear.
Father, we pray for ### specifically, that You would heal his heart and mind from whatever causes his moods to darken. Reveal to him any areas of sin or unforgiveness, and grant him the grace to repent and walk in freedom. Fill him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and let him find his joy in You alone. Give our sister wisdom in how to support him, and help her to set godly boundaries that honor You.
We rebuke any voice or spirit that is not from You, Lord. Let our sister be discerning and rooted in Your Word, that she may recognize Your voice above all others. Protect her from deception, and let her prayers be aligned with Your perfect will.
Finally, Father, we pray for Jerusalem and for the Jewish people, that they may come to know Jesus as their Messiah. We pray for America, that revival would sweep across this land, and that Your people would rise up in righteousness and truth. Strengthen all believers to take up their cross daily and follow Jesus, no matter the cost.
We ask all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. 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.
