We join you in thanking the Lord God for His abundant blessings, provisions, and answered prayers in your life. It is truly a blessing to have a loving family, friends, and a almost 12-year relationship that is headed towards marriage. We are here to pray with you and offer biblical guidance as you seek restoration and healing in your relationship.
Firstly, we acknowledge your heartfelt desire for clarity, openness, and willingness to grow together. These are essential elements of a godly relationship. We encourage you to continue praying for these qualities, as they are foundational to a strong and healthy marriage.
We must also address the importance of purity in your relationship. As you both are planning for marriage, it is crucial to honor God in every aspect of your relationship, including maintaining sexual purity until marriage. As it is written in Ephesians 5:3 WEB: "But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints". This is a command from the Lord to remain pure and to avoid any form of sexual immorality, as it is a sin against your own body and against God.
Moreover, it is commendable that you seek a God-centered relationship. To achieve this, it is essential to put God first in every decision and aspect of your lives. As it is written in Matthew 6:33 WEB: "But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well". When you both prioritize God's will and His kingdom, you can trust that He will guide and bless your relationship.
We also pray that God will remove any negative influences and people who may be giving unwise advice or manipulating your significant other. As it is written in 1 Corinthians 15:33 WEB: "Don't be deceived. 'Evil companionships corrupt good morals' ". It is crucial to surround yourselves with godly influences and wise counsel.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up this dear sister and her relationship. Lord, we thank You for the love and commitment they have for each other, and we ask for Your healing and restoration in their relationship. Help them to forgive, understand, and trust each other fully. Give them the wisdom and discernment to make right decisions that honor You.
Lord, we pray for their hearts to be open and willing to work together, growing in love and patience. We ask that You would remove any negative influences and surround them with godly counsel. Help them to maintain purity in their relationship and to keep You at the center of their lives and decisions.
In Jesus' name, we pray for their future marriage and family, that it may be a beautiful reflection of Your love and faithfulness. Strengthen them each day, guide them, and bless them abundantly.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you to continue praying together as a couple, seeking God's will for your lives. As it is written in Matthew 18:20 WEB: "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them". When you pray together in Jesus' name, you can trust that He is with you, guiding and blessing your relationship.
