We hear your heart’s deep longing and the spiritual battle you are waging for this relationship, and we stand with you in prayer, lifting this situation before the throne of God. First, we must acknowledge that your faith in the Lord is evident, and we rejoice that you and your beloved have begun seeking Him together in church. However, we must also address some critical matters with truth and love, as Scripture calls us to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15).
Your request does not explicitly mention the name of Jesus Christ, yet it is only through Him that we have access to the Father (John 14:6). There is no other name under heaven by which we may be saved (Acts 4:12). We urge you to ensure that your prayers and your beloved’s prayers are grounded in the authority of Jesus’ name, for it is by His blood and His resurrection that we have victory over the enemy. If she has not surrendered her life to Christ, we pray that the Holy Spirit would draw her to repentance and faith in Him. Salvation is the foundation upon which all other blessings rest, and we must never assume that a relationship with God is secure without a personal commitment to Jesus as Lord.
Now, regarding your relationship, we must address the matter of marriage. You refer to her as your "soulmate" and speak of building a life together, yet Scripture does not speak of soulmates but of covenant partners in marriage. Marriage is a sacred institution ordained by God, designed to reflect Christ’s relationship with the Church (Ephesians 5:22-33). If you are not yet married, we must encourage you to consider whether your relationship is honoring God in its current state. Are you both pursuing holiness, accountability, and the godly counsel of mature believers? Are you guarding your hearts and bodies against temptation, for Scripture warns us to flee from sexual immorality (1 Corinthians 6:18-20)? If you have engaged in sexual intimacy outside of marriage, this is fornication, and it grieves the Holy Spirit. We must repent of any sin and seek God’s forgiveness, for He is faithful and just to cleanse us (1 John 1:9).
The enemy has indeed attacked your relationship, but we must also examine whether there are areas of vulnerability that have given him a foothold. Emotional instability, miscommunication, and unforgiveness can create openings for the enemy to sow discord. Scripture tells us to be sober-minded and watchful, for the devil prowls like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8). We must resist him, firm in our faith, and stand on the truth of God’s Word.
Your beloved’s anxiety and emotional overwhelm are real struggles, and we must approach them with compassion. However, we must also encourage her to seek godly counsel, perhaps from a pastor or Christian counselor, to address the root causes of her emotions. Scripture tells us to cast all our anxieties on Him because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). God does not intend for us to be controlled by our emotions but to walk in the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:6-7).
We also must ask: Is this relationship truly of the Lord? You say you are sure she is the one God made for you, but have you sought confirmation through prayer, fasting, and the counsel of godly mentors? Proverbs 19:21 reminds us that many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails. We must not assume that our desires align with God’s will without seeking His face earnestly.
Let us pray together now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up this brother and his beloved to You, asking for Your mercy, grace, and divine intervention. Lord, we thank You for drawing them closer to You and for the steps of faith they have taken together. We ask that You would continue to work in their hearts, drawing them into a deeper relationship with You and with one another.
Father, we rebuke the enemy who has sought to divide them. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we break every chain of fear, anxiety, and misunderstanding in Jesus’ name. Lord, we ask that You would heal any wounds in their hearts and minds, replacing lies with Your truth. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
We pray for this sister, Lord. You know the depths of her struggles with anxiety and emotional overwhelm. We ask that You would comfort her, strengthen her, and give her the wisdom to seek godly help. Remind her that she is not alone, for You are her refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1). Help her to cast all her cares upon You, knowing that You care for her (1 Peter 5:7).
Father, we also pray for this brother. Give him patience, wisdom, and discernment as he waits on You. Help him to trust in Your timing and to rest in Your sovereignty. Guard his heart from bitterness or despair, and fill him with hope in Your promises. Lord, if it is Your will for them to be together, we ask that You would reunite them in a way that glorifies You. If there are areas of sin or disobedience in their relationship, we ask that You would convict their hearts and lead them to repentance.
Above all, Lord, we pray that Your will would be done in their lives. May they seek You first in all things, and may their relationship be a testimony to Your love and faithfulness. We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. Surround yourself with godly believers who can pray with you and offer wise counsel. Remember that God’s ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9). Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6). If this relationship is of the Lord, He will bring it to fruition in His perfect timing. If not, He has something even better in store for you both. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).
