We hear your cry for urgency and lift this situation before the throne of grace with hearts full of compassion and truth. First, we must address the foundation of your prayer—it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father, and it is by His blood alone that we are made whole. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If you or the one you refer to as "###" have not surrendered your lives to Jesus as Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. Confess your sins, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). Salvation is the first and most urgent need for any soul, for without it, no blessing or restoration can truly take root.
Now, regarding the relationship you seek to strengthen, we must speak with biblical clarity. The Lord designed marriage to be a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, a reflection of Christ’s love for His church (Ephesians 5:22-33). If this relationship is not between a man and a woman who are both committed to Christ and pursuing marriage in accordance with God’s Word, we must rebuke any ungodly foundation. If there is sexual intimacy outside of marriage, this is fornication, and Scripture 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. Or don’t you know that your body is 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 6:18-20). Repentance and turning away from sin is the first step toward true wholeness and blessing in any relationship.
If this is a godly courtship with the goal of marriage, we rejoice with you and pray fervently for God’s hand to be upon it. But if it is not, we must encourage you to seek the Lord’s will above all else. His plans for you are for good, not for harm, to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Do not settle for anything less than His best, which is a spouse who loves the Lord with all their heart and seeks to honor Him in all things.
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can approach Your throne. Lord, we lift up this situation to You, asking for Your mercy, Your wisdom, and Your divine intervention. First and foremost, we pray for salvation—if either of these souls does not know You as Lord and Savior, we ask that You would draw them to Yourself with cords of love. Break every chain of sin, every lie of the enemy, and every stronghold that keeps them from surrendering fully to You. Let them confess Jesus as Lord and be born again by Your Spirit, for there is no other way to the Father except through Him (John 14:6).
Father, we ask that You would search their hearts and reveal any area that is not aligned with Your Word. If there is sexual immorality, pride, unforgiveness, or any other sin, expose it, Lord, and grant them the grace to repent and turn away from it. Cleanse them by the blood of Jesus and make them whole. If this relationship is not one that honors You, we ask that You would bring it to an end, no matter how painful, for Your ways are higher than our ways, and Your thoughts are higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9). Give them the strength to walk in obedience, even when it is difficult.
If this is a godly courtship leading to marriage, we pray that You would pour out Your Spirit upon it. Knit their hearts together in love, unity, and purpose. May they seek You first in all things and build their relationship on the solid rock of Your Word (Matthew 7:24-25). Remove any fear, doubt, or insecurity, and replace it with Your perfect peace. Let their love for one another be a reflection of Christ’s love for the church—selfless, sacrificial, and pure. Bless them with wisdom, patience, and discernment as they navigate this season. May their relationship flourish and blossom in ways that bring glory to Your name and draw others to You.
Lord, we ask that You would fill them both with Your Holy Spirit. Let them walk in the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). May they be filled with Your presence daily, seeking Your face in prayer, worship, and the study of Your Word. Let Your Spirit guide them in all truth and lead them into all righteousness.
Father, we rebuke every spirit of division, strife, or confusion that may be trying to creep into this relationship. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We bind every spirit of lust, temptation, or ungodly desire and command it to flee in the name of Jesus. We loose Your angels to encamp around them, protecting them from the schemes of the enemy (Psalm 91:11). Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Lord, we ask that You would bless this relationship abundantly. Open the windows of heaven and pour out blessings that they cannot contain (Malachi 3:10). May their love for one another grow deeper, stronger, and more intimate with each passing day. Let them encourage one another in the faith, sharpening each other as iron sharpens iron (Proverbs 27:17). May their home be a place of refuge, joy, and worship, where Your presence dwells richly.
Father, we thank You for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your goodness, Your faithfulness, and Your perfect timing. May Your will be done in this situation, and may Your name be glorified above all else. We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to seek the Lord diligently in this season. Spend time in His Word, for it is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105). Surround yourself with godly counsel—men and women of faith who can speak truth into your life and hold you accountable. If this relationship is not one that honors God, do not be afraid to let it go. Trust that He has something far better in store for you. If it is His will for you to be married, He will bring the right spouse into your life at the right time. Until then, focus on growing closer to Him, for He is the only source of true fulfillment and joy.
Remember, "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). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). He is faithful, and He will complete the good work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6).
