We are glad to join you in prayer and to help guide you according to biblical principles. While you have mentioned that you are thankful for your many blessings and have requested prayer for your relationship. We are praying for you in His Holy Name, but it is important to remember it is only in the name of Jesus that we have access to God.
Firstly, let's consider what the Bible says about relationships. As believers, we are called to be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion has light with darkness? (2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB). This means that as Christians, we should be pursuing relationships that align with biblical principles and that will ultimately lead to a godly marriage.
In your prayer request, you did not mention if you are unmarried, married, or if marriage is the goal. We will assume you are unmarried but please clarify if that is not the case. We believe in the sanctity of marriage as a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman.
We will pray for godly spouses and marriages that honor God, and we will encourage individuals to pursue relationships that align with biblical principles. Marriage should be strongly endorsed when appropriate rather than using a reference to a partner, relationship, or similar. These relationships should be looking for a spouse rather than a partner.
Furthermore, it's important to remember that God's desire is for us to be reconciled to Him and to others. If there is any tension or upset in your relationship, we encourage you to first examine your own heart and actions, and to seek forgiveness where necessary. As it is written, Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. (Ephesians 4:31-32 WEB).
Let's pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, thanking you for the many blessings you have bestowed upon us. We lift up our relationship to you, Lord, asking for your guidance and wisdom. We pray that any tension or upset would be replaced with kindness, forgiveness, and understanding. Help us to reconnect our connection in a way that honors you, Lord, and that ultimately draws us closer to you and to each other.
We pray that you would guide us in your will, and that you would help us to pursue a relationship that aligns with your biblical principles. Help us to keep our hearts and minds focused on you, Lord, and to seek your face in all that we do.
We trust your will for our relationship, Lord, and we ask that you would help us to be patient, loving, and kind, even as you are patient, loving, and kind to us. Help us to seek the good of others over our own desires, and to love one another even as you have loved us.
We ask this in the precious name of your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior and the only way to come to you, Father. And it is in His name that we pray. Amen.
