We lift you up in prayer, sister, and we thank God for your heart that seeks His will in this relationship. It is clear you love your fiancé deeply, and we join you in praying for his protection, loyalty, and spiritual strength as he moves to a new place. However, we must also address some important biblical truths to ensure this relationship honors God fully.
First, we rejoice that you invoked the name of Jesus in your prayer, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. As Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). Your faith in the power of Jesus’ blood is a testament to your trust in Him, and we encourage you to continue placing this relationship under His lordship.
Yet we must also speak truth in love. Your prayer reveals concern about your fiancé’s vulnerability to temptation, particularly from other women. This is a serious matter, and we urge you both to take heed. The Bible 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"* (1 Corinthians 6:18, WEB). If your fiancé struggles with temptation, it is vital that he takes proactive steps to guard his heart and mind. Proverbs 4:23 reminds us, *"Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life."* This includes avoiding situations where temptation could arise—whether in living arrangements, friendships, or workplace interactions.
You asked for him to have a male roommate, and while this may help, true victory over temptation comes only through the power of the Holy Spirit and a deliberate choice to walk in purity. *"No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure"* (1 Corinthians 10:13, WEB). Pray that your fiancé seeks God’s strength daily, puts on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18), and flees from anything that could lead him into sin.
We also encourage you both to examine whether this relationship is built on a foundation of Christ-centered commitment. Marriage is a covenant before God, and it requires more than love—it requires faithfulness, sacrifice, and a shared devotion to Christ. *"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 your fiancé is not walking closely with the Lord, this is a matter for earnest prayer. A godly marriage thrives when both spouses are submitted to Christ and growing in Him together.
Lastly, we gently remind you that while your love for your fiancé is beautiful, your ultimate trust must be in the Lord. *"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). Pray that God prepares both of your hearts for marriage, if it is His will, and that He purifies your relationship from any compromise. If there is any sexual immorality present now, we urge you to repent and turn away from it, for *"marriage is honorable in all, and the bed is undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers"* (Hebrews 13:4, WEB).
Now, let us pray together for you and your fiancé:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our sister and her fiancé. Lord, You know the depths of their hearts and the challenges they face. We ask that You surround her fiancé with Your protection as he moves to this new place. Guard his heart, mind, and eyes from temptation, and grant him the strength to flee from anything that would dishonor You or their relationship. Provide him with godly friendships and a living situation that encourages purity and accountability.
Father, we pray for a spirit of loyalty and faithfulness to take root in his heart. May he seek You above all else and find his satisfaction in You alone. If there is any area of compromise in their relationship, convict them by Your Holy Spirit and lead them to repentance. Prepare them both for a marriage that glorifies You, if it is Your will, and bind them together in Christ-centered love.
Lord, we also ask that You strengthen our sister’s faith. Help her to trust You fully, even in moments of fear or uncertainty. Fill her with Your peace, knowing that You are sovereign over every detail of their lives. May they both grow deeper in their walk with You, seeking first Your kingdom and Your righteousness.
We rebuke any scheme of the enemy to bring division, temptation, or sin into this relationship. By the blood of Jesus, we declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper. Let Your will be done in their lives, and may they honor You in all things.
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
