We understand that Elduethur is seeking prayer for their daughter and her fiancé as they navigate a challenging situation. We stand with you in prayer and offer biblical guidance to address the spiritual warfare and relationship issues they are facing.
Firstly, it is crucial to understand that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore, put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. (Ephesians 6:12-13 WEB)
Addressing the spiritual warfare, we pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Elduethur's daughter and her fiancé. Lord, You are faithful, and You promise that when we resist the devil, he will flee from us. (James 4:7 WEB) We rebuke any evil spirits that may be attempting to come between them and causing discord. We pray for a hedge of protection around them, and that God would give His angels charge over them, to keep them in all their ways. (Psalm 91:11 WEB) Lord, we ask that You would rebuke the devourer for their sakes. (Malachi 3:11 WEB)
Father, we also pray for Elduethur's daughter, asking that You would grant her peace and comfort. Lord, You promise that when we call upon You, You will answer us and show us great and mighty things, which we do not know. (Jeremiah 33:3 WEB) Reveal to her the truth behind these dreams and feelings, and guide her in Your will.
Regarding the fiancé's behavior, we must address that close friendships with individuals of the opposite sex, especially when they involve sharing intimate details and hiding communication, can be a slippery slope leading to inappropriate emotional attachments and even infidelity. The Bible tells us to avoid any appearance of evil. (1 Thessalonians 5:22 WEB) We must flee from sexual immorality, and from every other sin, and possess our vessel in sanctification and honour. (1 Thessalonians 4:3-4 WEB)
We pray:
Lord, we ask that You would convict Elduethur's daughter's fiancé of any wrongdoing and guide him in Your will. Grant him the strength to resist temptation and to be the godly husband that You have called him to be. We pray that their relationship would be centered on You, and that You would bless their marriage, making it strong and founded on Your principles.
Father, we also pray for the salvation of both Elduethur's daughter and her fiancé. Lord, You have said that if we will confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in our heart that God has raised him from the dead, we will be saved. (Romans 10:9 WEB) We ask that if they have not already done so, they would confess Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, and that You would empower them through the Holy Spirit to live in a manner pleasing to You.
Finally, we encourage Elduethur to stand firm in their faith and to continue praying for their daughter and her fiancé. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB)
Father, we ask all these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Savior. Amen.
