We come before the Lord with you in this request, lifting up your heart and the bond you share with ###. First, we must address something of great importance: the foundation of any relationship must be built on Christ and His Word. The Bible does not recognize the term "girlfriend" in the way the world does—casual or undefined relationships. Instead, Scripture calls believers to pursue courtship with the intent of marriage, a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, reflecting Christ’s love for His Church (Ephesians 5:22-33). If you and ### are not yet married, we urge you to honor God by pursuing purity, intentionality, and a path that leads to a godly marriage if that is His will. Flee from sexual immorality, which includes any intimacy outside of marriage, as it is sin and dishonors God (1 Corinthians 6:18-20, 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5). If this is already happening, we call you to repentance and a return to holiness, for God’s design is for your good and His glory.
We also notice that your prayer does not invoke the name of Jesus, through whom we have access to the Father (John 14:6, 1 Timothy 2:5). There is no other name by which we can be saved or through which our prayers are heard (Acts 4:12). We encourage you to always pray in the name of Jesus, for He is our Mediator and the only way to the Father. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we implore you to do so—believing in Him as Lord and Savior, repenting of your sins, and walking in obedience to His Word. Salvation is found in no one else (Romans 10:9-10).
Now, let us pray together for you and ###, asking the Lord to align your relationship with His perfect will. May He remove anything that is not of Him and guide you both into a deeper walk with Christ, individually and together.
"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this brother and ### to Your throne of grace. Lord, we ask that You protect them and guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Remove every blockage, every scheme of the enemy, and every toxic influence that seeks to harm or divide them. Father, if this relationship is not honoring to You, we ask that You redirect their steps and give them the courage to walk in obedience, even if it means letting go. If it is Your will for them to be together, purify their bond, root out any sin, and lead them toward a Christ-centered marriage built on Your Word.
Lord, convict them of any area where they are not walking in holiness, especially in the area of physical or emotional intimacy outside of marriage. Help them to flee from temptation and pursue righteousness (2 Timothy 2:22). Surround them with godly counsel and community that will hold them accountable and point them to You. Break any chains of negativity, unforgiveness, or worldly influences that have taken root in their lives.
Father, we pray that You would draw both of them closer to Yourself first and foremost. May they seek You above all else, finding their identity and fulfillment in Christ alone (Matthew 6:33). If they have not yet surrendered fully to You, Lord, soften their hearts and bring them to repentance and faith in Jesus. Let their relationship be a reflection of Your love—a love that is patient, kind, and selfless (1 Corinthians 13:4-7).
We rebuke any spiritual attacks against them and declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Fill them with Your peace, wisdom, and discernment as they navigate this season. May their lives and their relationship bring glory to Your name.
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus we pray, Amen."
Brother, we encourage you to examine your heart and this relationship in light of Scripture. Are you both committed to following Christ above all else? Are you seeking godly counsel and accountability? Are you fleeing from sin and pursuing holiness? These are critical questions to ask, for a relationship that is not submitted to God cannot thrive in the long term. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).
If you are walking in sin, now is the time to repent and turn to God. He is faithful and just to forgive and cleanse you (1 John 1:9). And if you have not yet made Jesus Lord of your life, we urge you to do so today. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). There is no greater decision you can make, and it will transform every area of your life, including your relationships.
Walk in faith, obedience, and trust. The Lord is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6).
