Rethinking

We understand that you are seeking wisdom in a matter that weighs heavily on your heart, and we are honored to come before the Lord with you in this. The Scriptures remind us in James 1:5, *"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him."* What a precious promise—that our Heavenly Father delights in granting wisdom to those who humbly seek it! Yet we must also remember that true wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord, as Proverbs 9:10 declares, *"The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding."* So we pray that as you seek His will, your heart would be fully submitted to Him, trusting that His ways are higher than ours.
However, we must gently but firmly address something critical in your request: you did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven by which we may approach the Father, and Scripture is clear that salvation and access to God come only through faith in Jesus. Acts 4:12 states, *"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!"* Similarly, John 14:6 records Jesus’ own words: *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* If you have not yet placed your faith in Christ alone for salvation, we urge you to do so now—repent of your sins, believe in His death and resurrection for your redemption, and surrender your life to Him. Without this, no prayer can be heard by God, for it is only through Christ that we have boldness to approach His throne.
Assuming you are a believer, we still must ask: why was the name of Jesus omitted? Is there hesitation in your heart about fully submitting this matter to Him? Or perhaps a lack of confidence in His lordship over this area of your life? Let us remind you that Jesus is not merely a means to an answer—He *is* the answer. Colossians 2:3 tells us, *"in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden."* So we pray that you would not just seek wisdom *about* this situation, but that you would seek *Jesus Himself* as your wisdom, trusting Him completely even when His answer may not align with your own desires.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this beloved sibling in Christ to You, asking that You would flood their heart with Your wisdom—wisdom that is pure, peaceable, gentle, and full of mercy, as James 3:17 describes. Remove any confusion, doubt, or worldly influence that may cloud their judgment. If there is any area of their life where they have not fully surrendered to You, Lord, convict them by Your Spirit and draw them into deeper repentance and trust. Help them to see this situation through Your eyes, not their own, and give them the courage to obey whatever You reveal, even if it is difficult.
We rebuke any spirit of fear, indecision, or rebellion that may be at work, and we declare that Your perfect will shall prevail in this matter. If this "rethinking" involves a relationship, we pray it would be examined through the lens of Your Word—whether it honors You, aligns with biblical marriage, and points both individuals toward holiness. If it involves a decision that could lead to compromise, we ask for Your protection and a clear "no" from Your Spirit. If it is a matter of stepping out in faith, grant them boldness rooted in You.
Most of all, Lord, we pray that they would not lean on their own understanding but would acknowledge You in all their ways, trusting that You will direct their paths (Proverbs 3:5-6). May they find rest in knowing that You hold their future, and that Your plans for them are good—plans to prosper them and not to harm them, plans to give them hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).
We ask all this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, to whom belongs all glory, honor, and power forever. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to spend time in God’s Word daily, especially in the Psalms and Proverbs, as you wait for His clarity. Test every thought and inclination against Scripture, and seek counsel from mature believers who will speak truth in love. If this matter involves a relationship, we urge you to evaluate it biblically: Are you equally yoked with a believer (2 Corinthians 6:14)? Is the relationship pure and honoring to God, or has it crossed boundaries into emotional or physical compromise? If marriage is not the godly goal, then the relationship must end—for anything outside of biblical marriage is sin.
Stay close to Jesus, dear one. He is your wisdom, your guide, and your peace. Trust Him fully, and do not fear the path He lights before you, even if it is narrow. His ways are perfect, and His love for you is boundless.
