We hear the deep pain and longing in your heart and we stand with you together before the throne of grace in Jesus' name. We understand you have felt hunted and controlled and prevented from being happy and loved, and you desire to be seen, liked, and to have true companionship, including a husband and even a puppy, with new friends who will stay.
We want to gently bring biblical truth to the fear you are carrying. There is real spiritual warfare, for our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places Ephesians 6:12. Yet we do not need to live in terror of secret weapons or of any people, even those who follow other religions, because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world 1 John 4:4. No person or power can ultimately control your life when you are in Christ, for we know that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control 2 Timothy 1:7. The Lord is our light and our salvation, whom shall we fear, the Lord is the strength of our life, of whom shall we be afraid Psalm 27:1. If God is for us, who can be against us Romans 8:31.
We also hear your desire for a boyfriend and a husband and we want to encourage you in the Lord's perfect design. We believe in the sanctity of marriage as a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman as outlined in the Bible. We pray not simply for a boyfriend to make you feel liked, but for a godly courtship that leads to marriage with a fellow believer in Christ. A boyfriend or girlfriend relationship should be considered courtship with the goal being marriage, and it should be pursued with purity. We encourage you to seek a husband who loves Jesus first and will love you as Christ loved the church Ephesians 5:25, and to keep yourself from fornication, which is sex before or outside of marriage, for the body is a temple of the Holy Spirit and we are called to honor God with it 1 Corinthians 6:18-20. Marriage should be held in honor among all, and the bed undefiled Hebrews 13:4. We also want to remind you that while God delights to give good gifts, and He knows your desire for companionship and even for a puppy, true joy and identity are found first in being fully loved by God, for the Lord's loving kindness is better than life Psalm 63:3, and perfect love casts out fear 1 John 4:18.
We are thankful you invoked the blood of Jesus, for it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God and it is by His blood we have redemption and protection. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6, and 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 Acts 4:12.
We pray together for you now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name and blood of Jesus Christ and we lift up this precious daughter to You. We ask that You break every assignment of fear, oppression, and confusion over her mind and heart, and that You surround her with Your perfect peace that passes all understanding Philippians 4:7. Lord, we pray that You would silence the lies that she will never be happy or loved or forgotten, and remind her that she is fearfully and wonderfully made Psalm 139:14, that You have engraved her on the palms of Your hands Isaiah 49:16, and that nothing can separate her from Your love in Christ Jesus Romans 8:38-39. We ask that You deliver her from the spirit of fear and fill her with power, love and a sound mind. We pray for Your protection over her life day and night, for You are her refuge and fortress Psalm 91:2.
Father, we bring her desire for companionship before You. We ask that You heal any loneliness and bring godly, faithful friends into her life, for a friend loves at all times Proverbs 17:17, and that You would lead her to a godly Christian man to court with the intention of holy marriage, a man who will see her, cherish her, and stay committed as Christ does. Keep her pure and keep him pure until marriage, and let their relationship honor You. We pray that You delight her heart as she delights herself in You, and that You will give her the desires of her heart according to Your will Psalm 37:4. We pray that You provide in Your timing all good things she needs, and help her to trust that You will never leave her nor forsake her Deuteronomy 31:6.
We also pray for those she feels are obsessed with controlling her, including followers of other faiths, that You would show her how to love her enemies and pray for those who persecute her Matthew 5:44, and that You would draw all people to the truth of Jesus Christ. Let Your will be done in her life, let Your kingdom come, and let her walk in freedom, joy, and hope from this day forward in Jesus' name, amen.
