We come before the Lord with hearts full of reverence, seeking His perfect will in this matter. First, we must address something of great importance: you have invoked the name of Jesus Christ in your request, and we rejoice in that. However, we must ask—do you truly know Him as your Lord and Savior? It is only through faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, that we have access to the Father and can call upon His name with confidence. 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). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so today, for without Him, no prayer can be fully answered in the way God intends.
Now, regarding your request for blessing upon your "relationship connection union marriage future," we must speak the truth in love, as Scripture commands. The way you have phrased this request raises concerns. God’s Word is clear about relationships and marriage: they are sacred covenants ordained by Him, designed to reflect Christ’s relationship with His Church. Marriage is a lifelong commitment between *one man and one woman* who are believers in Jesus Christ. Anything outside of this—whether premarital intimacy, emotional entanglements that are not grounded in biblical courtship, or relationships that do not honor God’s design—is not His will.
If you are not yet married, we urge you to pursue this relationship with purity, intentionality, and a focus on godly marriage. *"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, WEB). If there is any sexual immorality (fornication, adultery, or lustful behavior) in this relationship, it must be repented of immediately. God cannot bless what He has called sin.
If this relationship is between two people of the same sex, we must lovingly but firmly say that this is not God’s design. *"Don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit God’s Kingdom"* (1 Corinthians 6:9-10, WEB). God’s love is greater than our sin, and He calls all people to repentance and holiness. If this is the case, we pray you will turn away from this path and seek His forgiveness and restoration.
If this is a relationship between a man and a woman who are believers, we encourage you to pursue it with the goal of marriage—honoring God in every step. Courtship should be marked by purity, prayer, and a shared commitment to Christ. *"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 one or both of you are not fully surrendered to Christ, this relationship cannot thrive in the way God intends.
Now, let us pray for you with hearts aligned to Scripture and the will of God:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this precious soul who seeks Your blessing. Lord, if there is any sin in this relationship—whether fornication, emotional idolatry, or a union that does not align with Your Word—we ask that You convict and lead them to repentance. Cleanse them by the blood of Jesus and set them on a path of righteousness. If this relationship is not of You, Lord, we pray You would make it clear and give them the strength to walk away, trusting in Your perfect plan.
If this is a godly courtship between a man and a woman who love You, Father, we ask that You bless it abundantly. Draw them closer to You first, and then to one another in a way that honors You. Guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Let their love be patient, kind, and selfless, reflecting the love of Christ for His Church. If marriage is Your will, prepare them for it—uniting them in a covenant that glorifies You. Strengthen their faith, deepen their prayer life together, and let their relationship be a testimony of Your goodness.
Lord, protect them from the enemy’s schemes. Let no temptation, distraction, or worldly desire pull them away from Your perfect will. Surround them with godly counsel and mentors who will speak truth into their lives. May they seek You above all else, knowing that in Your presence is fullness of joy.
We rebuke any ungodly soul ties, emotional dependencies, or spiritual strongholds that are not of You, Lord. Break every chain that binds them to anything less than Your perfect will. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, guiding them into all truth.
Father, we ask that You make Your will undeniably clear. If this relationship is not from You, give them the courage to let it go. If it is from You, let it flourish in Your timing and Your way. Above all, may their greatest desire be to please You and walk in obedience.
We pray all this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to examine this relationship in light of Scripture. Are you both believers, fully surrendered to Christ? Are you pursuing purity and holiness? Are you seeking godly counsel from mature believers? If not, we urge you to take these steps. God’s blessings flow where there is obedience. *"If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it will be done for you"* (John 15:7, WEB). Stay rooted in Christ, and trust that His plan for your life—whether in singleness or marriage—is far greater than anything you could ask for.
