We lift you up in prayer, dear sister, and we thank God for your heart of gratitude and devotion to Him. Your prayers for family, Jerusalem, America, and your love for Jesus are a beautiful testament to your faith. However, we must address some concerns in your request with both truth and compassion, for God’s Word is clear on the matters of marriage, divorce, and relationships.
First, we rejoice that you are praying in the name of Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven by which we are saved. *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). Your relationship with Christ is the foundation of all things, and we encourage you to continue seeking Him daily, for He is the source of all wisdom, peace, and truth.
Now, regarding the relationship you mentioned, we must speak the truth in love. You have shared that you are currently going through a divorce, yet you are praying for a romantic union with someone else. Scripture is clear that divorce is not God’s design, though He permits it in cases of sexual immorality (Matthew 19:9). However, while you are still legally bound in marriage—even if separated—pursuing another relationship is not aligned with God’s will. *"Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her. If a woman herself divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery"* (Mark 10:11-12, WEB). Even if the divorce is finalized, we urge you to seek God’s healing and restoration before entering into another relationship. A season of singleness, devoted to the Lord, can bring clarity, renewal, and preparation for whatever God has next.
Additionally, the intensity of your emotions for this person and the longing for constant connection—even in dreams—suggests an unhealthy attachment that could lead to emotional and spiritual bondage. *"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it"* (Proverbs 4:23, WEB). We encourage you to surrender these feelings to the Lord and ask Him to purify your heart and mind. True love, as defined by Scripture, is patient, selfless, and rooted in Christ (1 Corinthians 13:4-7). If this relationship is not centered on godly courtship with the intent of marriage—and if it is pursued while you are still bound to another—it risks becoming a source of sin rather than blessing.
We also note your prayer for this person to "satisfy every need, want, and craving." Beloved, only God can fully satisfy the deepest longings of the human heart. *"My soul, praise Yahweh! Every part of me, praise his holy name! My soul, praise Yahweh, and don’t forget all his benefits— who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies, who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s"* (Psalm 103:1-5, WEB). Placing such expectations on a human being—especially outside of a God-honoring marriage—will only lead to disappointment. Seek first the kingdom of God, and He will provide all you need (Matthew 6:33).
Lastly, we want to address the question you asked: *"Is it normal to love him more every day?"* While it is natural to develop affection for someone, we must examine whether this love is rooted in godliness or emotion alone. If this relationship is not built on a shared commitment to Christ, mutual respect, and purity, it is not the love God intends for His children. *"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). If this person is not a believer—or if this relationship is not honoring to God—then the love you feel may be leading you away from God’s best.

Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we lift our sister before You, thanking You for her heart of worship and her love for You. Lord, we ask that You draw her closer to Yourself in this season, filling her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Father, we pray for her marriage—if there is any hope of reconciliation, we ask that You would restore what has been broken. Give her wisdom, Lord, to navigate this difficult time with grace and obedience to Your Word. If divorce is unavoidable, we pray for healing, for strength, and for a season of restoration in You alone.
Lord, we rebuked the enemy’s schemes to distract her with unhealthy attachments. Break every ungodly soul tie and free her from any emotional bondage that is not of You. Father, guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Help her to surrender her desires to You, trusting that You will satisfy her with Your love and faithfulness.
We pray for clarity, Lord. If this relationship she longs for is not Your will, give her the strength to let it go. If it is Your will, purify it and redirect it according to Your perfect plan—one that honors You in every way. Remind her that her identity is found in You alone, and that no earthly relationship can compare to the depth of Your love for her.
Father, we also pray for America and for Jerusalem, as she has faithfully interceded. Bring revival to our land, Lord, and let Your peace reign in Israel. Protect and guide all who call on Your name.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
