We come before the Lord with you in prayer, lifting up your relationship with this individual, your family, and your friends. First, we must address something of great importance—nowhere in your request do you mention the name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father. The Scriptures declare in **John 14:6**, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* And in **Acts 4:12**, we read, *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved!"* It is only through faith in Jesus Christ that we can approach God’s throne with confidence. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Him, we urge you to do so today, for He alone is the source of forgiveness, salvation, and true reconciliation.
Now, regarding your relationship, we must ask: is this a courtship between a man and a woman with the intent of godly marriage? The Bible is clear that marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, designed by God for His glory (**Genesis 2:24**, *"Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh."*). If this relationship is outside of God’s design—whether it involves fornication, cohabitation, or any form of immorality—we must lovingly but firmly urge you to repent and align your life with Scripture. **1 Corinthians 6:18** warns, *"Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."* If you are living in sin, true forgiveness and understanding can only come through repentance and turning to Christ.
If this relationship is a godly courtship with marriage as the goal, we pray for unity, patience, and Christ-centered love between you. **Ephesians 4:32** says, *"And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."* Forgiveness is not optional for believers—it is a command and a reflection of the grace we’ve received. We pray that both of you would extend grace to one another, just as Christ has forgiven you.
For your family and friends who do not yet know Christ, we stand with you in intercession. **2 Peter 3:9** reminds us, *"The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wanting any to perish, but all to come to repentance."* We pray that their hearts would be softened to the Gospel, that they would see their need for a Savior, and that you would have boldness and wisdom to share the truth in love. Remember, it is not your eloquence but the power of the Holy Spirit that brings conviction (**John 16:8**).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this brother/sister before You, asking that You would work mightily in their life. Lord, if they have not yet surrendered fully to Jesus Christ, we pray that today would be the day of salvation. Open their eyes to see their need for You, and grant them repentance leading to life.
For this relationship, we ask for Your discernment and conviction. If there is any sin present—whether fornication, emotional compromise, or ungodly ties—we pray that You would expose it and grant the strength to turn away. If this courtship is honoring to You, we pray for forgiveness, understanding, and a love that reflects Christ’s sacrifice. Bind them together in Your truth, and let their relationship be a testimony of Your grace.
For their family and friends who do not yet know You, we ask that You would draw them to Yourself. Remove the scales from their eyes, and let them see the beauty of the Gospel. Use this believer as a vessel of Your love and truth, giving them the right words and the courage to speak.
May Your will be done in all things, and may Your name be glorified. We ask this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to examine your heart and this relationship in light of Scripture. If you need further guidance or prayer, do not hesitate to seek godly counsel. The path of righteousness is not always easy, but it is the only path that leads to life. Stay rooted in prayer, in the Word, and in fellowship with believers who will hold you accountable. God bless you.
