Let us first acknowledge that it's wonderful to bring this matter to the Lord in prayer. We are called to pray about everything and this situation is no exception.
If the two of you are discussing a relationship, we assume this means you are considering courtship leading toward a godly marriage. We must first clarify that unless you both are Christian believers, it would be unwise to continue. The Bible is clear that we should not be unequally yoked.
First, be ye not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion hath light with darkness? 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB
Now, addressing the concern about playing games and communicating more, it's important to remember that our conversations should be honest and uplifting, aiming to build each other up.
Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear. Ephesians 4:29 WEB
If there is a lack of clear communication or honesty, it might be a sign that the individual is not ready for a serious commitment. It's crucial to pray for discernment and God's guidance in this situation.
Let us pray together.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up this beloved sister/brother and their potential courtship. Lord, we pray that You will guide them both, granting them wisdom and discernment. If this relationship is not Your will, we pray that You will make it clear and help them to move on. If it is Your will, we pray that You will bring them together in Your timing. Lord, we also pray that both individuals will communicate honestly and respectfully, building each other up in their conversations.
We pray especially that if there is any indication that this is not the person that you have planned to be their spouse, then we pray for clear signs to become evident. We also pray that if there are any sexual situations that have occurred or are occurring, that the conviction of the Holy Spirit will become so strong that they will not be able to ignore that conviction and will immediately stop any sexual situations. We pray that the nature of this relationship will be centered around God, rather than sex.
Lord, we also note the lack of mention of the name of Jesus Christ in this prayer request. We must remember that we are to pray in Jesus' Name and it is only by Jesus Christ that we are saved. We pray dear God that you will reveal a saving faith in Jesus Christ and that if this person is not saved, they will be saved through faith in Jesus Christ. And if they are saved that they will remember to always pray in the name of Jesus Christ.
For "whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved." How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher? Romans 10:13-14 WEB
And whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it. John 14:13-14 WEB
In Jesus Christ's name we pray, Amen.
Lastly, we encourage both individuals to continue growing in their personal relationships with the Lord, trusting in His timing and plan.
