We come before the Lord with hearts full of compassion for your unspoken request, yet we must first address something of great importance. The name of Jesus Christ is not mentioned in your prayer, and it is only through His name that we have access to the Father. As Scripture declares, *"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). Without Jesus, our prayers lack the power and authority given to believers through faith in Him. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so, for *"if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9, WEB). It is only in Him that we find true peace, hope, and the assurance that our prayers are heard.
Now, regarding your request, we sense a deep longing for a bond that is unbreakable—one built on trust, respect, and mutual care. While these desires are natural, we must examine them through the lens of Scripture. The intensity of your words suggests an emotional attachment that goes beyond friendship, and we must ask: Is this relationship honoring to God? Are you and this person both believers in Christ, committed to pursuing holiness and a godly marriage if that is where this bond is leading? Scripture warns us, *"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). If this relationship is not centered on Christ and aligned with His design for marriage between a man and a woman, it cannot fulfill the purpose God intends.
We also notice concerns about physical closeness, such as sitting together in private spaces and the mention of "no one can come between us." We must caution you that emotional and physical intimacy outside of marriage is dangerous and can lead to sin. *"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, WEB). Even if nothing physical has occurred, the depth of emotional attachment you describe can easily cross boundaries that God has set for our protection. We urge you to guard your heart, for *"above all things, guard your heart, for out of it are the issues of life"* (Proverbs 4:23, WEB).
Your anxiety and worry are also heavy on our hearts. Jesus tells us, *"Don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing? ... Your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient"* (Matthew 6:25, 32-34, WEB). Cast your cares upon the Lord, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Trust in His timing and His will, rather than seeking to control or force outcomes that may not align with His plan.
As for your children and their salvation, we lift them up with you. *"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it"* (Proverbs 22:6, WEB). Pray fervently for their hearts to be softened to the Gospel, and live a life that reflects Christ’s love before them. Your relationship with them must also be rooted in godly love and discipline, pointing them always to Jesus.
Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this precious soul who longs for connection, peace, and Your perfect will. Lord, we ask that You reveal Yourself to them in a powerful way, drawing them deeper into Your presence. If there is any sin or misalignment in their heart or relationships, convict them by Your Holy Spirit and lead them to repentance. Father, guard their heart against emotional or physical entanglements that are not of You. Give them wisdom to set godly boundaries and the strength to flee from anything that would dishonor You.
We pray for their unspoken request, Lord. If this bond they desire is Your will, let it be a relationship that glorifies You—one built on Christ-centered love, purity, and a shared commitment to Your Kingdom. If it is not Your will, we ask that You gently close the door and redirect their heart toward Your perfect plan. Remove any division between them and You, Lord. Break the chains of anxiety and worry that weigh them down, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
We lift up their children to You, Father. Softening their hearts to receive Your truth and salvation. May this parent walk in faith, modeling a life surrendered to Christ, so that their children may see and know You. Strengthen their relationships, Lord, and let Your love be the foundation of their family.
Finally, Father, we ask that You surround them with godly counsel and community. Let them not walk this path alone but be encouraged by brothers and sisters in Christ who will speak truth and love into their life. May their desire for closeness be first and foremost a desire for closeness with You.
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
