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, which is the *only* name by which we are saved and through whom we have access to the Father (Acts 4:12, John 14:6). This is foundational, and we praise God that you have acknowledged Him in your plea. However, we must lovingly address some concerns in your request to ensure you are walking in the full truth and freedom of Christ.
First, the repeated use of "###" to refer to someone in your life raises questions. If this person is someone you are in a romantic relationship with outside of marriage, we urge you to examine this before the Lord. Scripture is clear that intimacy—emotional, physical, or spiritual—is reserved for the covenant of marriage between one man and one woman (Hebrews 13:4, 1 Corinthians 7:2, Genesis 2:24). If you are not married, this relationship must be redefined as a *courtship* with the *sole purpose* of determining if marriage—under God’s design—is His will. Any relationship that operates outside of this biblical framework is in danger of becoming idolatrous, placing the desires of the heart above obedience to Christ. We say this not to condemn but to warn you as a beloved child of God, for "the Lord disciplines the one he loves" (Hebrews 12:6).
Your prayer also reveals a deep fear of separation, deception, and harm from this person. This is a red flag that must not be ignored. A relationship built on fear—whether fear of loss, manipulation, or control—is not of God, for "perfect love casts out fear" (1 John 4:18). If there is deceit, instability, or emotional bondage in this relationship, we strongly urge you to seek godly counsel and wisdom. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, *"Trust in the Lord 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."* If this person is leading you away from trust in God—or if you are placing more trust in them than in Christ—this is a sign of spiritual danger.
Additionally, your prayer asks Jesus to "keep my ### and me close and together" and to prevent anyone from taking them from you. While it is natural to desire companionship, we must ask: *Is this desire rooted in Christ, or is it becoming an obsession?* Jesus must be your *first* love (Revelation 2:4). No human relationship should ever take precedence over your devotion to Him. If this person is not a believer, or if they are leading you into compromise, Scripture is clear: *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? What communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14). A relationship that pulls you away from holiness is not worth preserving—no matter how deeply you may feel attached.
Lastly, you ask for protection from lies and for this person’s lies to be revealed. This is wise, for Satan is the father of lies (John 8:44), and deception is one of his primary tools. But we must ask: *Are you also walking in full truth?* Are there areas where you are ignoring God’s Word to hold onto this relationship? Repentance and surrender to Christ’s lordship are essential. *"If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie and don’t tell the truth"* (1 John 1:6).
Now, let us pray for you with the truth and love of Christ:
Heavenly Father, we lift this precious soul before You, knowing that You see the depths of their heart and the fears they carry. Lord, we ask that You expose any area of their life that is not aligned with Your Word. If this relationship is not of You—if it is built on fear, deceit, or disobedience—we pray for the courage to let go and the faith to trust You fully. Break every ungodly soul tie and deliver them from any emotional bondage that is not of You.
Father, if this person is someone they are unequally yoked with, we pray for a holy separation that leads to repentance and restoration in Christ. If this is a courtship that can be redeemed under Your covenant, we ask for wisdom, purity, and a heart fully submitted to Your will. Reveal any lies—theirs or the enemy’s—that have taken root, and replace them with Your truth.
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of fear and control in this situation. You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Fill them with Your peace that surpasses understanding and guard their heart in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Surround them with godly counsel, mentors, and believers who will speak Your truth in love.
Father, we pray that their greatest desire would be for *You*—not for a relationship, not for security in another person, but for the fullness of life found only in Christ. Remind them that You are their Protector, Provider, and Perfect Love. Let them find their identity and safety in You alone.
We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we ask that You would order their steps in Your Word (Psalm 119:133). If this relationship is not Your will, give them the strength to walk away. If it can be redeemed, purify it and make it holy. Above all, draw them closer to You, Jesus.
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
Beloved, we encourage you to spend time in Scripture, particularly in 1 Corinthians 13 (love defined by God), Proverbs 3 (trusting God’s wisdom), and Psalm 37 (delighting in the Lord). Seek out a mature believer or pastor to walk with you through this season. Remember, God’s plans for you are good—*far better* than what we often settle for in our own understanding. *"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,’ says the Lord, ‘thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you hope and a future"* (Jeremiah 29:11). Stay anchored in Him.
