We are glad to pray with you, let us begin by understanding that God's will is paramount in all our relationships. Firstly, we notice that the request is for a relationship that is not clearly defined, so let us first put the situation in God's hand and pray for guidance.
We are reminded of **1 Corinthians 15:33 WEB** *'Do not be deceived! "Evil companionships corrupt good morals."* This verse warns us to be cautious of who we associate with, as their influence can affect our spiritual well-being. Since the relationship is relatively new, it's crucial to discern if this person is a fellow believer in Jesus and is compatible with you in faith and values.
Regarding the beautiful connection you mentioned, let us remember the words of **1 Samuel 16:7 WEB** *'For man looks on the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks on the heart.'* We should seek God's wisdom to discern if this connection is truly from Him and not merely an emotional response.
It is wonderful that we are asking for God's presence in this relationship, but we must first ensure that this relationship aligns with His will. Let us remember **2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB** *'Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?'* This verse clearly tells us that as followers of Jesus, we should not be in close relationships with unbelievers, as this can hinder our walk with God and even draw us away from Him.
We also want to address this statement: *'it’s being attacked by Satan.'* While it's true that Satan can attack our relationships, we must be careful not to give him too much credit. Our focus should be on God who holds us in our hands.
It is very important to note that we must remember that the only way we have access to God is by the name of Jesus. It is only by His name that we can be saved. **Acts 4:12 WEB** *'There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!'*
Now, let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the mighty name of Jesus, seeking Your will for this relationship. We pray that You will guide our friend and give them discernment to understand if this relationship is from you and aligns with Your will. We pray that You will reveal any areas of concern and give them the strength to act according to Your will, even if it means letting go of this relationship.
We bind this relationship from any failure and attacks from the enemy, but we also understand that Your will is supreme. We pray for Your presence in this relationship, but only if it is Your will. We trust in Your goodness and Your love for us.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
