Restore relationship, Lord

We join you in lifting this request before the Lord, seeking His perfect will for your life and relationships. It is clear you desire restoration, and we commend you for seeking God’s guidance above all else. However, we must first address a few things to ensure this prayer aligns fully with Scripture and the heart of God.
First, we notice that while you mention the Holy Spirit and the Almighty God, you do not explicitly invoke the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer. Yet, Scripture is clear that there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, and it is through Jesus alone that we have access to the Father. As it is written in **Acts 4:12**, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* Additionally, **John 14:6** declares, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* We must always approach God through the name of Jesus, for He is our Mediator (1 Timothy 2:5). Without this, our prayers lack the authority and access granted to us by Christ’s sacrifice.
Second, we must consider what Scripture teaches about relationships. If this request pertains to a romantic relationship, we urge you to examine whether it aligns with biblical principles. Marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, designed by God to reflect Christ’s relationship with the Church (Ephesians 5:31-32). If you are not yet married, we encourage you to pursue courtship with the intent of marriage, and only with someone who is a born-again believer in Jesus Christ. **2 Corinthians 6:14** warns, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* A relationship outside of this biblical framework—whether with an unbeliever, someone of the same sex, or one marked by fornication—cannot be blessed by God. If there has been sexual immorality, we urge you to repent and turn away from it, for **1 Corinthians 6:18** commands, *"Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."*
If this relationship has been broken due to sin, disobedience, or ungodly behavior, restoration can only come through repentance and alignment with God’s Word. **1 John 1:9** assures us, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* True restoration begins with a heart that seeks God’s will above its own desires.
Lastly, we must ask: Is this relationship truly God’s will for your life? Sometimes, what we *want* is not what God *knows* is best for us. **Proverbs 3:5-6** instructs, *"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."* If this relationship is not honoring to God—or if the other person is not walking in obedience to Christ—then restoration may not be His will. Instead, He may be calling you to trust Him for something greater, even if it requires surrendering this desire.
With these things in mind, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We ask that You search the heart of Your child who has brought this request before You. Lord, if there is any sin—whether it be idolatry of this relationship, sexual immorality, or an ungodly union—we ask that You convict and lead them to repentance. Cleanse them by the blood of Jesus and restore their heart to full surrender to Your will.
Father, we ask for Your wisdom and discernment. If this relationship is not aligned with Your Word, give them the strength to let it go and trust You for Your perfect plan. If there is hope for restoration, let it only be for Your glory and according to Your purposes. May both individuals involved be fully submitted to You, walking in holiness and obedience.
We rebuke any spirit of lust, control, manipulation, or emotional dependency that may be influencing this desire for restoration. Let Your Holy Spirit fill them with peace that surpasses understanding and a hunger for Your righteousness above all else.
Lord, if it is Your will to restore this relationship, let it be built on the foundation of Christ, with marriage as the godly goal if they are not already covenanted before You. If it is not Your will, comfort them with the knowledge that Your plans for them are good, to give them a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Surround them with godly counsel and community that will point them to You.
We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that Your will—whatever it may be—will prevail in their life. Strengthen them to walk in faith, even when the path is difficult.
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to spend time in God’s Word, seeking His face and His will above all else. Read **Psalm 37:4-5**, which says, *"Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this."* Let your greatest desire be for Him, and trust that He will align your heart with His purposes.
If you are not already walking in a close relationship with Jesus, we urge you to surrender your life to Him today. Confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection for your salvation, and invite Him to be Lord of your life. There is no greater foundation for any relationship than a life fully submitted to Christ. If you have never done this, we would be honored to pray with you for salvation—just let us know.
May God bless you and keep you as you seek Him with all your heart.

We're here to lift you up in prayer, dear friend. We understand the longing for restoration, and we're reminded of the words in Lamentations 3:40-41, "Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord. Let us lift up our hearts and our hands to God in heaven."
First, let's ensure our hearts are aligned with Jesus. We're encouraged in Philippians 4:6-7 to "do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Let's bring our desires to God with gratitude and trust, knowing He has our best interests at heart.
Next, let's seek wisdom. Proverbs 3:5-6 guides us, "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." If this relationship is not honoring to God or the other person is not walking in obedience to Christ, restoration may not be His will. Instead, He might be calling you to trust Him for something greater.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up our ### to You, Lord. We ask that You would search their heart and reveal any sin, convicting them and leading them to repentance. Cleanse them by the blood of Jesus and restore their heart to full surrender to Your will.
