We come before the Lord with you in this time of deep longing for change, healing, and direction, lifting your heart’s cry to the Father who hears and answers prayer. Your words reveal a heart that is weary yet still seeking God’s will, and we honor that desire to surrender to Him. However, we must first address something critical: your prayer does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father. The Scriptures are clear that there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, and it is only through Jesus that our prayers reach the throne of God. *"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 one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). We urge you to always pray in the name of Jesus, for He is our Advocate and the only path to true peace and reconciliation with God.
Your request touches on many areas—relocation, financial provision, divorce, forgiveness, and protection—and we will address each with the truth and love of Scripture. First, we must speak to the mention of divorce. Marriage is a covenant before God, and His Word teaches that it is meant to be lifelong, reflecting Christ’s unwavering love for His Church. *"What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart"* (Mark 10:9, WEB). *"But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female. For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will join to his wife, and the two will become one flesh, so that they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate"* (Mark 10:6-9, WEB). If you are married, we strongly encourage you to seek reconciliation and healing in your marriage rather than divorce, unless there has been unrepentant adultery or abandonment by an unbelieving spouse (Matthew 19:9, 1 Corinthians 7:15). Divorce should never be pursued lightly or as a first resort, for it brings deep pain and is not God’s design. If you are in a difficult marriage, we urge you to seek godly counseling, pray fervently for restoration, and trust that God can redeem even the most broken situations. *"All things are possible for one who believes"* (Mark 9:23, WEB).
If you are not married but are in a relationship, we encourage you to evaluate whether this relationship honors God. Are you courting with the intention of marriage to a believer? Are you living in purity, free from sexual immorality? *"Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body"* (1 Corinthians 6:18, WEB). If there is fornication or any sin in the relationship, repent and turn away from it, for *"the body is... for the Lord, and the Lord for the body"* (1 Corinthians 6:13, WEB). God’s design for intimacy is within the covenant of marriage alone, and anything outside of that is sin. If you are unmarried but living as though you are, we urge you to repent and align your life with Scripture, trusting God’s timing and plan for a godly spouse.
You also mention moving and selling, and we pray for God’s provision and wisdom in these matters. *"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"* (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB). It is good to seek God’s will in these decisions rather than acting out of frustration or desperation. Wait on Him, for His timing is perfect. *"Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen"* (Psalm 37:7, WEB).
Your desire to forgive and forget is commendable, for unforgiveness is a heavy burden that only harms the one who carries it. *"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses"* (Matthew 6:14-15, WEB). Forgiveness is not excusing the wrong done to you but releasing the debt to God, who is the just Judge. *"Don’t say, 'I will pay back evil.' Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you"* (Proverbs 20:22, WEB). Ask God to soften your heart and help you let go of bitterness, for *"the discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. It is his glory to overlook an offense"* (Proverbs 19:11, WEB).
We also notice a spirit of comparison in your words: *"I am still better than the ones who did much more for less."* This is dangerous ground, for it is not our place to compare ourselves to others or justify our actions by their sins. *"But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ"* (Romans 14:10, WEB). *"For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves; but they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding"* (2 Corinthians 10:12, WEB). Instead, we are to examine our own hearts before God, repent of our sins, and trust His justice. *"Examine yourselves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves"* (2 Corinthians 13:5, WEB). Humble yourself before the Lord, for *"God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble"* (James 4:6, WEB).
Your request for God to remove those who mean you harm is understandable, but we must also pray for your heart to be guarded and for you to respond in love and wisdom, even to enemies. *"But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you"* (Matthew 5:44, WEB). This does not mean you must remain in harmful or abusive situations—God calls us to wisdom and safety—but it does mean we are to release vengeance to Him. *"Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord'* (Romans 12:19, WEB).
Lastly, your prayer for God to use you is beautiful, and we echo it. *"Present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service. Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God"* (Romans 12:1-2, WEB). Surrender fully to Him, and He will direct your steps. *"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).
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift this precious soul before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Lord, we ask that You draw them closer to You, that they may know the depth of Your love and the power of Your redemption. Forgive them for any sins they have committed, known or unknown, and cleanse them by the blood of Jesus. If there is bitterness, comparison, or unforgiveness in their heart, uproot it, Lord, and replace it with Your peace and humility.
Father, we pray for their marriage if they are married. Soften hearts, heal wounds, and restore what has been broken. Give them the strength to forgive, the wisdom to seek reconciliation, and the faith to trust You for a miracle. If they are in a relationship outside of marriage, convict them of any sin and lead them to repentance. Guide them toward a godly courtship that honors You, with marriage as the goal. Remove any ungodly influences or relationships that do not align with Your Word.
Lord, we ask for Your provision in their desire to move or sell. Open the right doors, Father, and close the wrong ones. Let Your will be done in their life, not their own. Give them patience to wait on Your timing and trust in Your goodness. We pray for their car to be repaired quickly and safely, that they may have the freedom to move forward as You direct.
Father, protect them from all evil and harm. Surround them with Your angels and let no weapon formed against them prosper. Remove those who seek to bring them down, and bring godly people into their life who will encourage them in faith and righteousness. Help them to forgive those who have wronged them, releasing all pain and resentment to You.
Lord, show them where they have gone wrong, not to shame them, but to lead them to repentance and growth. Teach them Your ways, that they may walk in obedience and experience Your blessings. Use them mightily for Your kingdom, Father. Equip them with Your Spirit, fill them with Your love, and send them out as a light in this dark world.
We rebuked any spirits of bitterness, comparison, fear, or rebellion in the name of Jesus. We declare freedom, peace, and victory over this life. Let them walk in the fullness of Your calling, Lord, and may they bring glory to Your name in all they do.
Thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We trust You to work all things together for good, for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose. In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
