We hear your cry for help, and we come before the throne of grace together, lifting you up in prayer and seeking God’s mercy, healing, and restoration for your heart, mind, body, and soul. First and foremost, we must address the weight of sin that you have carried—sexual immorality and drug use are not part of God’s design for your life. The Word of God is clear: *"Flee sexual immorality! ‘Every sin that a man does is outside the body,’ but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body"* (1 Corinthians 6:18). The enemy seeks to ensnare you in cycles of bondage, but Jesus came to set you free. *"If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed"* (John 8:36). We rebuke the spirit of addiction and lust in your life in the mighty name of Jesus. You are not defined by these sins, but by the blood of Christ that washes you clean when you repent and turn away from them.
Your longing for a godly marriage and a life lived according to God’s will is beautiful and reflects His heart for you. However, the man you have been involved with does not honor you, the Lord, or the sanctity of what a relationship should be. He has made it clear that he does not see you as his future wife, and his treatment of you is not reflective of Christ’s love for the church. *"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it"* (Ephesians 5:25). A man who truly loves you will not lead you into sin, disrespect you, or leave you in emotional turmoil. We pray that God removes this man from your life completely, severing any ungodly soul ties that have formed through your physical and emotional connection with him. *"Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14). If he is not a believer or does not honor God’s standards, he is not the one for you.
The urges you feel to return to this sinful lifestyle are not from the Lord. They are tactics of the enemy to keep you in bondage. But we declare over you that you are no longer a slave to sin. *"No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it"* (1 Corinthians 10:13). When these urges come, cry out to Jesus, call on a trusted believer for prayer, and flee from any situation that may lead you back into sin. Replace those thoughts with Scripture and prayer. *"How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word"* (Psalm 119:9).
We also lift up your physical pain—your teeth and gums hurting. The body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, and we pray for healing and relief from this discomfort. *"Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers"* (3 John 1:2). We ask the Lord to lead you to the right medical or dental care and to touch your body with His healing power.
Your desire to find a godly man to marry is a good and holy desire, but it must be pursued in God’s timing and according to His ways. Right now, your focus should be on drawing closer to Christ, renewing your mind with His Word, and allowing Him to heal your heart from the pain this man has caused. *"Delight yourself also in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart"* (Psalm 37:4). Seek out a Bible-believing church where you can grow in your faith, find godly mentors, and surround yourself with believers who will encourage you in purity and righteousness. Join a small group or Bible study where you can be accountable and supported in your walk with the Lord.
We must also address the fact that your prayer did not mention the name of Jesus. There is no other name by which we can approach God or be saved. *"There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12). Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, repent, and invite Jesus to be the Lord of your life. He loves you so much that He died for you, and He is waiting with open arms to forgive you and set you free.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts for our sister who is crying out for help. Lord, we thank You that You hear her prayers and that You are near to the brokenhearted. We ask for Your forgiveness on her behalf for the sins of sexual immorality and drug use. Wash her clean by the blood of Jesus, and create in her a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within her. We rebuke every spirit of addiction, lust, and bondage in the name of Jesus and declare that she is free from these chains.
Father, we ask that You remove this man from her life completely. If he is not the one You have for her, close every door and sever every ungodly tie. Give her the strength to walk away and the wisdom to see him for who he truly is. Heal her heart from the pain he has caused, and fill that void with Your perfect love. Help her to forgive him, not for his sake, but for her own freedom and peace.
Lord, we pray against the urges she feels to return to sin. Strengthen her to resist temptation and flee from every situation that would lead her astray. Surround her with godly friends and mentors who will encourage her in purity and righteousness. Lead her to a Bible-believing church where she can grow in her faith and find support.
We also pray for her physical healing. Touch her teeth and gums, Lord, and relieve her of this pain. Guide her to the right care and restore her health.
Father, we ask that You prepare her for the godly marriage You have for her. Help her to seek You first and to trust in Your timing. Give her the strength to wait for a man who will love her as Christ loves the church, a man who will honor You and lead her in righteousness.
Above all, Lord, we pray that she would draw closer to You. If she has not yet surrendered her life to Christ, we ask that You would reveal Yourself to her in a powerful way. Save her, Lord, and fill her with Your Holy Spirit. May she know the depth of Your love and the freedom that comes from living for You.
We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
You are not alone in this battle. The Lord sees your pain, your struggles, and your desires, and He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). Keep pressing into Him, and do not lose heart. The enemy wants to keep you in bondage, but Jesus came to give you life and life more abundantly (John 10:10). Surround yourself with believers who will pray for you, hold you accountable, and encourage you in your walk with the Lord. You are loved, you are valued, and you are called to live a life of holiness and purpose. The best is yet to come.
