We hear the urgency and deep longing in your heart, and we want to lift you up in prayer with both compassion and truth. Before we pray, we must first address some concerns in your request that do not align with biblical principles, as we are called to speak the truth in love.
The desire for a deep, loving, and committed relationship is good, but we must examine whether this relationship honors God. First, we notice you refer to this person as "###" rather than by name, which suggests secrecy or hesitation—perhaps because this relationship is not yet grounded in biblical truth. More importantly, your request does not mention Jesus Christ by name, and it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. As Scripture says, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). There is no other name by which we are saved, and our prayers must be offered in His name to be heard.
Additionally, your prayer focuses heavily on emotional and physical closeness—dates, affection, deep emotions, and attraction—without mentioning marriage, which is God’s design for such intimacy. The Bible is clear that romantic and physical intimacy is reserved for marriage between one man and one woman. *"Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed is undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers"* (Hebrews 13:4, WEB). If you are not married to this person, pursuing deep emotional or physical connection outside of marriage is dangerous and can lead to sin. Even if your intentions are pure, emotions can easily lead us into temptation if not guarded by biblical boundaries.
We also notice the repetitive plea for this person to pursue you, treat you like a "queen," and open up to you completely. While it is natural to desire love and affirmation, we must be cautious. A relationship centered on self-fulfillment rather than Christ will ultimately leave us empty. The Bible warns, *"Don’t love the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father’s love isn’t in him"* (1 John 2:15, WEB). Our greatest fulfillment comes from Christ alone, not from another person’s affection or attention.
If this person is not a believer, Scripture is clear: *"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). A relationship with an unbeliever will pull you away from God, not draw you closer to Him. If this person is a believer, then the focus should be on honoring God together, not on emotional or physical gratification.
Lastly, your prayer seems to demand immediate action from God—*"no delay"*—but we must submit to His timing and will. *"Delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this"* (Psalm 37:4-5, WEB). Our hearts must first be aligned with His will, not the other way around.
With these things in mind, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious soul to You, knowing that You see the deepest longings of their heart. Lord, we ask that You first draw them closer to Yourself. Fill them with Your love, peace, and wisdom, so that their desires align with Your perfect will. If this relationship is not honoring to You, we pray that You would convict their heart and give them the strength to walk away. Guard them from emotional and physical temptation, and remind them that true love is found in obedience to You.
If this relationship *can* honor You, Lord, then we pray that You would make it clear. Let it be grounded in Your Word, with both individuals seeking You first. Help them to pursue purity, patience, and selflessness, keeping their eyes fixed on You rather than on their own desires. If marriage is Your will for them, prepare their hearts for a covenant that reflects Christ’s love for the Church—a love that is sacrificial, faithful, and holy.
Father, we rebuke any spirit of impatience, fear, or idolatry in this situation. Let Your perfect love cast out all fear, and let Your truth expose any deception. We ask that You protect this person from heartache, sin, and ungodly attachments. Give them discernment to recognize Your voice above all else.
Most of all, Lord, we pray that they would find their ultimate satisfaction in You. Remind them that no human relationship can fulfill them the way You can. Let them seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness, trusting that You will provide all they need (Matthew 6:33).
We ask all this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to examine this relationship in light of Scripture. Are you both believers? Are you pursuing purity and godliness? Are your affections for this person drawing you closer to Christ, or are they becoming an idol? Seek the Lord in prayer and His Word for answers. If you are struggling with loneliness or desire, bring those feelings to Jesus—He is the only One who can truly satisfy your soul.
*"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, WEB)
