We join with you in lifting up these concerns, and we are grateful you have come before the Lord with a heart seeking His will in this matter. It is clear you are navigating a delicate situation, and we commend you for desiring God’s wisdom and guidance in every step. Your prayer is rooted in the name of Jesus, and we know that it is only through Him that we can approach the throne of grace with confidence, as Scripture tells us, *"Let’s therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need"* (Hebrews 4:16, WEB).
We notice you are seeking therapy to bring clarity and healing, and we encourage you to ensure that the therapist you choose aligns with biblical principles. Not all counsel aligns with God’s Word, and it is vital that any guidance you receive points you both toward Christ and His truth. *"See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, and not according to Christ"* (Colossians 2:8, WEB). Therapy can be a useful tool, but it must never replace or contradict the wisdom of Scripture. We pray that the Lord will lead you to a therapist who is not only experienced but also grounded in biblical truth, someone who will help you both seek God’s will above all else.
Your request also reveals a deep desire for sincerity and accountability from the other person involved. This is wise, for true repentance and change can only come from a heart that is honest before God. *"Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts. Let him return to Yahweh, and he will have mercy on him; and to our God, for he will freely pardon"* (Isaiah 55:7, WEB). We pray that the Lord will soften his heart and bring him to a place of genuine repentance if there has been wrongdoing. True accountability requires humility and a willingness to submit to God’s correction. If this person is not sincere, we pray the Lord will reveal that to you clearly, so you are not led astray by empty words. *"A faithful witness will not lie, but a false witness pours out lies"* (Proverbs 14:5, WEB).
We also lift up your family before the Lord, asking that He would surround them with His protection, peace, and provision. *"Yahweh’s angel encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them"* (Psalm 34:7, WEB). May your home be a place where God’s love and truth reign, and may each member of your family walk closely with Him. We ask that the Lord would grant you all health, safety, and joy that comes from knowing Him deeply.
As you prepare for this conversation, we encourage you to lean not on your own understanding but to trust in the Lord with all your heart. *"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"* (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB). The right words will come from the Holy Spirit, not from your own wisdom. Ask Him to fill you with His peace and to guide your tongue. *"Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one"* (Colossians 4:6, WEB).
We must also gently ask: what is the nature of this relationship you are seeking to address in therapy? If this involves a romantic relationship outside of marriage, we urge you to consider whether the relationship itself aligns with God’s design. Scripture is clear that intimacy—emotional, physical, or otherwise—is reserved for the covenant of marriage between one man and one woman. *"Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed is undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers"* (Hebrews 13:4, WEB). If there has been sin in this area, true repentance and restoration require turning away from it and seeking God’s forgiveness and healing. If this is a courtship, we pray that it would be one that honors God and is moving toward a Christ-centered marriage. If it is not, we urge you to reconsider the path you are on, for *"Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?"* (Amos 3:3, WEB).
Lastly, we want to remind you that no matter the outcome of this situation, your ultimate hope and security are found in Christ alone. He is the one who sustains you, and His plans for you are good, even when the path is difficult. *"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you hope and a future"* (Jeremiah 29:11, WEB).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today with hearts full of gratitude for Your blessings and Your faithfulness. Lord, we lift up our sister who is seeking Your wisdom and guidance in a time of great need. Father, we ask that You would prepare the way for the conversation that is to come. Give her the right words, words that are seasoned with grace and truth. May Your Holy Spirit speak through her, and may Your will be done in this situation.
Lord, we pray for sincerity and true repentance in the heart of the one she will speak with. Reveal any deceit, Father, and bring conviction where it is needed. Soften his heart, Lord, and draw him to Yourself. If there has been sin, may there be genuine confession and a turning away from it. Let Your truth prevail, and let Your name be glorified in this.
Father, we ask that You would lead her to a therapist who is not only skilled but also grounded in Your Word. May this therapy be a tool for healing and clarity, always pointing both of them back to You. Guard them from worldly wisdom that contradicts Your truth, and let Your Spirit be the ultimate Counselor in their lives.
We lift up her family to You, Lord. Protect them, keep them safe, and grant them health and happiness that comes from knowing You. May their home be a place of peace and godly love.
Lord, we also ask that You would make clear the nature of this relationship. If it is not aligned with Your design for marriage and holiness, we pray You would convict and redirect. May any courtship be one that honors You and seeks Your will above all else. If there has been sin, bring repentance and restoration.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would remind our sister that her hope is in You alone. No matter what happens, may she trust in Your goodness and Your sovereign plan for her life. Strengthen her, Lord, and fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
We pray all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
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.
