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 call to align fully with God’s Word. Your prayer invokes the name of Jesus, and that is wonderful, for there is no other name under heaven by which we are saved, and through which we boldly approach the throne of grace. *"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). It is only through Christ that we find true peace, safety, and direction, and we rejoice that you are seeking Him in this way.
Yet we must lovingly address something critical in your request. You repeatedly refer to your "###" in a way that suggests a deep emotional and possibly physical bond, but you do not clarify the nature of this relationship. Scripture is clear that intimacy—whether emotional, spiritual, or physical—is reserved for the covenant of marriage between one man and one woman. *"Don’t you know that your bodies are a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s"* (1 Corinthians 6:19-20, WEB). If this relationship is outside of marriage, we urge you to repent and realign it under God’s design, for fornication and emotional dependencies outside of marriage grieve the Holy Spirit and open doors to harm rather than the protection you seek.
If you are not yet married, we encourage you to pursue this relationship as a godly courtship with marriage as the goal—if and only if this person is a believer in Christ, equally yoked in faith and purpose. *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). A relationship built on anything less than this foundation will struggle to honor God, no matter how deeply you may care for one another. If this person is not a believer, Scripture commands separation, not unity, for your own spiritual protection.
You also ask for lies to be revealed and for Jesus to "keep my ### and me close and together so we never separate." While unity is beautiful in marriage, we must caution you: if this relationship is not centered on Christ or is built on unrepentant sin, separation may be exactly what God requires for your holiness and growth. *"If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna"* (Matthew 5:29, WEB). This is a stark warning, but it reflects God’s heart for your purity. He would rather you experience temporary pain than eternal loss.
Your prayer for wisdom and discernment is righteous, and we join you in asking the Lord to open your eyes to His path. *"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). But true wisdom begins with surrender—not just asking Jesus to "take the wheel" in this one area, but yielding every part of your life to His lordship. Are you reading His Word daily? Are you in a community of believers who can speak truth into your life? Are you willing to let go of this relationship if God reveals it is not His will?
We also notice your repeated pleas for safety and protection from harm, even asking that no one would "take my ### from me." While God is our protector, we must remember that His greatest priority is not our temporal comfort but our eternal souls. Sometimes, His protection looks like removal—not of harm, but of the things that harm us. *"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, WEB). If this relationship is leading you into compromise, God’s "protection" may mean freeing you from it.
Now, let us pray for you with hearts aligned to God’s will:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious soul to You, knowing that You see the depths of their heart and the desires that drive these prayers. Lord, we ask first and foremost that You reveal Yourself to them in a fresh and undeniable way. Draw them closer to You, Jesus, and let every other love pale in comparison to the love they find in Your presence. If this relationship is not of You—if it is built on anything less than Your holy design—we ask for the courage to surrender it. Break every ungodly soul tie, Lord, and sever any emotional or physical bond that does not glorify You. *"Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts. See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way"* (Psalm 139:23-24, WEB).
Father, if this courtship is between two believers seeking marriage, we ask for Your blessing upon it. Purify their motives, align their steps, and let their union be a testament to Your covenant faithfulness. But if there is sin—if there is fornication, emotional idolatry, or unequally yoked partnership—we plead for conviction and repentance. *"He who conceals his sins doesn’t prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy"* (Proverbs 28:13, WEB). Lord, grant them the strength to walk away from anything that dishonors You, even if it hurts.
We pray for divine wisdom and discernment, that they would recognize the voices of those You send and reject the deception of the enemy. *"The wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy"* (James 3:17, WEB). Guard their heart, Lord, and let them see this relationship—and all of life—through the lens of Your Word.
Finally, we ask for Your protection, not just physically, but spiritually. Surround them with Your angels, but more importantly, clothe them in the armor of God that they may stand firm against every scheme of the devil. *"Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil"* (Ephesians 6:11, WEB). Let no weapon formed against them prosper, but more than that, let them prosper in righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
We declare that Your will be done in this situation, Lord, not theirs. If it means separation, give them grace. If it means restoration, give them humility. Above all, let them seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness, trusting that all these things will be added unto them. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
Beloved, we urge you to examine this relationship in the light of Scripture. If you are struggling with sin in this area, confess it to God and to a trusted believer who can walk with you in accountability. *"Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective"* (James 5:16, WEB). True love—God’s love—does not bind you to sin but sets you free to live in holiness. We are here to pray for you and support you in walking in God’s perfect will. Stay rooted in His Word, and He will guide your steps.
