We hear the deep longing in your heart for protection, guidance, and unity in your relationship, and we lift you up in prayer with both compassion and a burden to speak truth in love. Your request reveals a heart that seeks Jesus, and that is a beautiful thing—but we must also address what we see with biblical clarity, as the Word of God is our foundation.
First, we rejoice that you have invoked the name of Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven by which we are saved, and it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. *"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, WEB). Your faith in calling upon Jesus is the most vital part of your prayer, and we encourage you to continue seeking Him above all else.
Yet we must lovingly but firmly address the nature of the relationship you are praying about. The repeated use of "###" in place of a specific term raises concern, but the context of your prayer—speaking of a deep emotional bond, a desire for unbreakable unity, and protection from separation—suggests this may be a romantic relationship. If this is indeed a marriage between one man and one woman, covenanted before God, then we rejoice and pray for its strength and godliness. However, if this is a relationship outside of marriage—whether premarital, extramarital, or same-sex—we must urge you to examine it in the light of Scripture, for God’s design for relationships is clear and unchanging.
Marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, reflecting Christ’s love for His Church (Ephesians 5:22-33). Any intimate relationship outside of this—whether physical or emotionally dependent—is not God’s will. *"Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed is undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers."* (Hebrews 13:4, WEB). If you are not married to this person, we urge you to repent and seek God’s will for purity and righteousness. Flee from any relationship that dishonors Him, for *"the body is... for the Lord, and the Lord for the body"* (1 Corinthians 6:13, WEB). If this is a same-sex relationship, we must lovingly but uncompromisingly say that Scripture calls this sin (Romans 1:26-27, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10). God’s love for you is greater than any earthly bond, and He calls you to holiness—not because He is harsh, but because He knows what is truly good for you.
Your prayer also reveals a deep fear—of separation, of betrayal, of lies being used against you. While we understand the pain behind these fears, we must remind you that no human relationship, no matter how strong, can be your ultimate security. Only Jesus can satisfy the deepest longings of your heart. *"Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness."* (Isaiah 41:10, WEB). If you are placing your hope in this person more than in Christ, it will lead to idolatry and heartache. Jesus must be your first love, your foundation, and your peace.
We also notice a plea for Jesus to "not let anyone take my ### from me" and to "keep us close and together." If this relationship is not aligned with Scripture, we pray instead that God would *free* you from it—not because He wants to withhold love from you, but because He wants to give you something far greater: His perfect will. *"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). Sometimes, God’s protection means removing us from what is harmful, even if it feels painful in the moment.
Lastly, you ask for discernment to recognize those sent by God and those who are not. This is a wise prayer! *"Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God."* (Romans 12:2, WEB). We pray that the Holy Spirit would open your eyes to truth, that you would test every spirit (1 John 4:1), and that you would surround yourself with believers who will speak biblical truth into your life—even when it’s hard to hear.

**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we lift this precious soul before You, knowing that You see their heart, their fears, and their deep desire for love and security. Lord, we thank You that they have called upon the name of Jesus, for there is no other name by which we are saved. We pray that You would draw them closer to Yourself, that they would find their ultimate satisfaction in You alone.
Father, if this relationship they speak of is not aligned with Your Word—whether it is outside of marriage, immoral, or rooted in fear rather than faith—we ask that You would convict their heart by Your Holy Spirit. Give them the courage to repent, to turn away from anything that dishonors You, and to seek Your perfect will. Remind them that Your commands are not burdensome but are for their good (1 John 5:3). If this bond is not of You, Lord, break its hold over them. Set them free from any ungodly soul tie, and fill the void with Your presence.
If this is a marriage, Lord, we pray for unity, for healing, and for a love that reflects Christ and the Church. Strengthen their commitment to one another and to You. Guard their hearts from deceit, and let Your truth expose any lies of the enemy. May their home be a place of peace, built on the foundation of Your Word.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of fear in their life. You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Let them release their grip on this relationship if it is not from You, trusting that You are their Provider, their Protector, and their True Love. Send godly counselors and believers into their life to speak truth and walk with them in this season.
Give them discernment, Lord, to recognize Your voice above all others. Open their eyes to see those You have sent to bless them, and close their ears to the whispers of the enemy. Guide their steps onto the path of righteousness, even if it feels difficult. Remind them that Your plans for them are good, to give them a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11).
Most of all, Father, let them know the depth of Your love. May they find their identity in Christ alone, not in any earthly relationship. Fill them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and let them rest in the knowledge that nothing can separate them from Your love (Romans 8:38-39).
We pray all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
