We hear the deep longing in your heart for a relationship that is rich, devoted, and blessed by God, and we join you in lifting this before the Lord. Yet before we pray, we must first address something vital: you have not invoked the name of Jesus Christ in your request. The Scriptures are clear that there is no other name under heaven by which we can approach the Father or be saved. Jesus Himself said, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6, WEB). It is only through faith in Christ—His death for our sins and resurrection for our justification—that we have access to God’s throne of grace. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus as Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today, 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). Without this foundation, no relationship, no matter how passionate or devoted, can be truly blessed by God.
Now, regarding your desire for a relationship, we must also speak truth in love. Your words reveal an intense focus on emotional and physical closeness, even using phrases that suggest a union already exists. Yet the Bible teaches that marriage is the *only* God-ordained context for such deep intimacy—emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Hebrews 13:4 declares, *"Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers."* If you are not yet married to this person, we must warn you that the level of desire and devotion you describe should be reserved for marriage alone. Anything outside of this is fornication, which the Bible strictly forbids (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). Even in courtship, believers must guard their hearts and bodies, fleeing from temptation and honoring God with purity (1 Thessalonians 4:3-5).
If you are already married, then your prayer aligns more closely with God’s design, though we still encourage you to seek Him first above all else. But if you are not married, we urge you to step back and evaluate whether this relationship is honoring to God. Are you both committed Christians? Is your relationship centered on Christ, or is it driven by emotional or physical desires? A godly marriage is built on a shared faith in Jesus, mutual submission to His Word, and a commitment to holiness—not merely on feelings of closeness or attraction. Ephesians 5:22-33 outlines the sacred responsibility of marriage, where a husband loves his wife as Christ loves the church, and a wife respects her husband as unto the Lord. This is a covenant, not just a connection.
With these truths in mind, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, acknowledging that You alone are the author of love, marriage, and every good gift. Lord, we lift up this dear one to You, asking first and foremost that if they do not know Jesus as Savior, You would draw them to Yourself today. Open their eyes to see their need for forgiveness and redemption through Christ alone. Let them confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in their heart that You raised Him from the dead, that they may be saved and walk in newness of life.
For their desire for relationship, Father, we ask for Your wisdom and discernment. If they are not yet married, convict their heart of any sinful attachment or impurity. Help them to flee from fornication and to honor You with their body, which is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Guard their heart from idolatry—from placing any relationship above You. If this connection is not of You, Lord, give them the strength to let it go, no matter how painful. But if it is Your will for them to marry, then prepare them both spiritually, emotionally, and practically. Let their courtship be marked by purity, patience, and a shared pursuit of Your kingdom. May they seek Your face together, praying for a marriage that reflects Christ and the church—a marriage built on sacrifice, faithfulness, and selfless love.
If they are already married, Father, we ask that You would deepen their bond in ways that honor You. Teach them to love one another as You have loved them—with patience, kindness, and forgiveness. Remove any selfishness or sin that would hinder their unity. Let their home be a place of peace, joy, and mutual submission to Your Word. Protect their marriage from the enemy’s attacks, and let their love for one another grow ever stronger as they grow closer to You.
Above all, Lord, may their greatest desire be for *You*—not just for a relationship, but for the One who created love itself. Satisfy them with Your presence, and let every longing in their heart be fulfilled in You first. We rebuke any spirit of lust, idolatry, or impatience that would seek to distort Your perfect plan. Cover them with Your blood, Jesus, and lead them in paths of righteousness for Your name’s sake.
We ask all this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
