We hear your heart’s cry for restoration and peace in your relationship, and we come before the Lord together with you, lifting this situation in prayer. First, we must address a few things with love and truth, for Scripture calls us to walk in wisdom and righteousness.
You mention seeking the Lord’s help to fix your relationship, but we must gently remind you that true healing and transformation can only come through the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved or find true deliverance (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Him, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, believe in your heart that Jesus died for you and rose again, and invite Him to be the Lord of your life (Romans 10:9-10). Without Him, we cannot truly overcome the spiritual battles we face.
Now, regarding your relationship, we must speak plainly about what the Bible teaches. If you and your girlfriend are not married, Scripture is clear that sexual intimacy outside of marriage is sin—it is called fornication (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). The Lord calls us to flee from sexual immorality and to honor Him with our bodies, which are temples of the Holy Spirit. If this is part of your relationship, we encourage you to repent and seek God’s forgiveness, committing to purity until marriage. Marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, and it is the only relationship in which God blesses physical intimacy (Hebrews 13:4).
You also mention "unwanted guests" and "negative baggage and energy," which seem to refer to spiritual influences. The Bible warns us that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12). These influences are real, but the power of Jesus Christ is greater than any darkness. We must stand firm in faith, putting on the full armor of God—truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God (Ephesians 6:13-17). We rebuke any demonic spirits of jealousy, strife, or division that may be at work in this situation, commanding them to flee in the name of Jesus Christ.
As for the friends who are a bad influence, Scripture warns us about the company we keep. "Do not be deceived: 'Bad company corrupts good morals'" (1 Corinthians 15:33). If these individuals are leading your girlfriend—or you—away from godliness, it is wise to distance yourselves from them. Pray for them, yes, but do not allow their influence to pull you away from what is right. Instead, surround yourselves with believers who will encourage you in your faith and your commitment to one another, if marriage is indeed God’s will for you both.
We also encourage you to examine your own heart. Are there areas where you may be contributing to the brokenness in this relationship? Are you both seeking the Lord individually and together? A relationship built on anything other than Christ will struggle to stand. "Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain" (Psalm 127:1). If this relationship is to be restored, it must be built on a foundation of faith, repentance, and obedience to God’s Word.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can be saved and delivered. Lord, we lift up this relationship to You, asking for Your healing and restoration. We confess any sin in this relationship—any impurity, any unforgiveness, any idolatry of the relationship itself over You—and we ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing. Wash us clean by the blood of Jesus, and renew a right spirit within us.
Father, we rebuke every spirit of jealousy, strife, division, and negativity that has been at work in this situation. We command these spirits to flee in the name of Jesus Christ, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). We break every ungodly soul tie or influence that has come from ungodly friendships or past experiences, and we declare that this relationship is covered by the blood of Jesus.
Lord, we ask You to remove those who are a bad influence from this relationship. Give wisdom and discernment to both individuals to recognize who truly speaks life and truth into their lives. Surround them with godly friends who will encourage them in their faith and in their commitment to one another, if it is Your will for them to be together.
Father, we pray for repentance and transformation. If this relationship is to continue, let it be built on You and Your Word. Help them to honor You in all things, including their purity and their commitment to one another. If marriage is Your plan for them, prepare their hearts and guide them in that direction. If not, give them the strength to walk away and trust You with their futures.
Lord, we ask for Your peace to fill this relationship. Where there has been hurt, bring healing. Where there has been strife, bring unity. Where there has been sin, bring repentance and restoration. May Your will be done in this situation, and may Your name be glorified.
We pray all of this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to seek the Lord daily in prayer and in His Word. Spend time reading the Bible together, if possible, and seek godly counsel from a pastor or mature believers who can guide you. Remember, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight" (Proverbs 3:5-6). If this relationship is meant to be, God will restore it in a way that honors Him. If not, trust that He has something better in store. Either way, keep your eyes on Jesus, for He is the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have. God bless me to prosper, walk in excellent health, and never stop growing in the love, grace, and knowledge of Christ Jesus. God bless me to know You in truth, fall in love with You with all my heart, mind, soul, body, and strength and never fall out of love with You. Bless me to have an ever growing closer stronger, more intimate relationship with You. Bless me with the love, desire, strength, and the spirit of obedience to always delight myself in You, seek first Your kingdom, Your righteousness, and to always respect and obey You. Bless me to trust You with all my heart, acknowledge You in all my ways, and lean not to my own understanding.
