We hear your deep longing and urgency, and we join you in bringing this matter before the Lord with hearts full of faith and compassion. First, let us affirm that our God is a God who hears and answers prayer, as His Word declares: *"Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great and mighty things which you don’t know."* (Jeremiah 33:3 WEB). We lift up your desire for this man to be drawn to Christ and for your relationship to flourish in a way that honors God.
However, we must also gently address some concerns in your request. Scripture is clear that marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, and it is meant to reflect Christ’s love for the Church (Ephesians 5:22-33 WEB). If this man is not yet your husband, we must encourage you to seek God’s will for a relationship that begins with a shared foundation in Christ. A godly marriage is built on mutual faith, repentance, and a commitment to follow Jesus together. If you are not yet married, we urge you to prayerfully consider whether this relationship aligns with God’s design for marriage and to seek His guidance for your future.
We also want to emphasize that salvation is a personal decision between an individual and God. While you can pray for this man and be a light to him, you cannot repent or believe on his behalf. Scripture tells us, *"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast."* (Ephesians 2:8-9 WEB). We encourage you to trust God to work in his heart in His perfect timing and way.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of faith, lifting up this dear sister and the man she is praying for. Lord, we ask that You would draw him to Yourself with cords of love. Soften his heart, convict him of sin, and reveal Your truth to him in powerful ways. May he come to know You as his Savior and Lord, surrendering his life fully to You. We pray that if it is Your will, this relationship would be built on a foundation of faith in Christ, reflecting Your love and purpose.
Lord, we ask that You would work in both of their hearts, aligning their desires with Your will. If this relationship is not in accordance with Your plans, give them both the strength and wisdom to trust You and follow Your leading. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, guiding them into all truth and righteousness.
We rebuke any spirit of confusion, rebellion, or ungodly influence that may be hindering this man from fully surrendering to You. We declare that Your power is greater than any obstacle, and we trust You to move mightily in his life. May he experience Your presence in dreams, visions, and every aspect of his life, drawing him closer to You.
Father, we also pray for this sister, that You would fill her with Your peace, wisdom, and discernment. Help her to trust in Your timing and to rest in Your promises. Give her the strength to be a godly example and to love this man as You love him, pointing him to Christ in all she does.
We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12 WEB). May Your will be done in both of their lives, and may Your name be glorified. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking God’s will in this situation, trusting that He knows what is best for you and this man. If he is not yet your husband, consider whether this relationship is honoring to God and whether it is leading both of you closer to Him. Remember, *"Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart."* (Psalm 37:4 WEB). Keep your focus on Christ, and He will guide your steps.
