We hear your heart’s desire for goodness and godly connections in your life, and we want to lift this before the Lord with sincerity and biblical truth. First, let us affirm that our hope and trust must always be in God alone—not in "good vibes" or even well-meaning people, but in the One who orders our steps and establishes our paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, *"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."*
While it’s natural to want positive influences around you, we must be cautious about seeking relationships—whether romantic or otherwise—that are not grounded in Christ. If you are unmarried and seeking a spouse, we encourage you to pursue someone who shares your faith in Jesus, for Scripture warns, *"Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers"* (2 Corinthians 6:14). Marriage is a sacred covenant designed by God to reflect Christ’s love for the Church (Ephesians 5:22-33), and it should be entered into with reverence and obedience to His Word.
If you are already in a relationship, we urge you to examine whether it aligns with God’s design. Are you both committed to honoring Him in purity, faithfulness, and mutual submission? If there is any sexual intimacy outside of marriage, we must rebuke that as fornication, for the Bible is clear: *"Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers"* (Hebrews 13:4). If this is the case, we encourage you to repent and seek God’s forgiveness, trusting in His grace to restore and guide you.
We also want to gently remind you that our ultimate source of peace, joy, and direction comes from Jesus Christ. If your request did not explicitly mention Him, we must emphasize that salvation and access to God are found in no other name. Acts 4:12 declares, *"There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."* Have you placed your faith in Jesus as your Lord and Savior? If not, we invite you to turn to Him today, for He alone can redeem, restore, and lead you into the abundant life He promises.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble hearts, seeking Your will above all else. Lord, we ask that You would surround this dear one with godly influences—people who will point them to You, encourage them in righteousness, and walk alongside them in truth. Father, if they are seeking a spouse, prepare their heart and lead them to someone who loves You deeply and will honor the covenant of marriage as You designed it. If they are already in a relationship, reveal any areas that do not align with Your Word, and give them the courage to walk in obedience, even when it is difficult.
Lord, we rebuke any spirit of compromise or worldly thinking that may be influencing their desires. Help them to fix their eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of their faith. If there has been sin in this area, we ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing, for Your Word says that if we confess our sins, You are faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Restore their heart, Father, and fill them with Your peace.
We pray that they would grow in their relationship with You, seeking Your wisdom above all else. May they find their ultimate satisfaction in You, knowing that You alone can fulfill the deepest longings of their heart. Guide their steps, Lord, and let Your will be done in their life. We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
