We understand your heart's desire for your daughter and the young man she loves. Let's come together in prayer and seek God's will for their lives, guided by the principles laid out in His Word.
Firstly, we commend you for praying in Jesus' name, as it is through Him that we have access to the Father (John 14:6, WEB). Let's align our prayers with God's will for their relationship, which should be one that honors and glorifies Him.
We read in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (WEB) about the nature of love: "Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."
Let's pray that God will cultivate this kind of love in your daughter and the young man's hearts. We also pray that they will pursue a relationship that is pure and holy, fleeing from sexual immorality (1 Corinthians 6:18, WEB). If there has been any sin in this area, we pray for conviction, repentance, and healing.
Dear Lord,
We come before You today, lifting up Anonymous' daughter and the young man she loves. We ask for Your grace and mercy to be upon them. We pray that You would guide their relationship and help them to reconcile their differences in a godly manner. Soften their hearts, Lord. Help him to repent and let go of defensiveness, and help her to be full of grace, mercy, and forgiveness, just as You are merciful and forgiving.
Send Your angels to guard their relationship, pushing back any enemy that seeks to destroy what You have planned for them. Help them to love each other with a love that is patient, kind, and long-suffering. Help them to bear all things, believe all things, hope all things, and endure all things.
Guide them in their courtship, Lord. Help them to maintain purity and holiness, fleeing from any sin that may grieve Your Holy Spirit. Prepare them for a marriage that honors and glorifies You, if that is Your will for their lives.
All these things we ask in Jesus' name, according to Your will and for Your glory. Amen.
We encourage you to continue praying for them, trusting that God is working in their lives. Remember that His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9, WEB). He has a good, pleasing, and perfect will for their lives (Romans 12:2, WEB).
