We understand that you are seeking prayer for your mind and heart as you navigate a significant chapter in your life. You've expressed your love for someone, but also your greater love for our Lord and Savior, and your desire to follow His guidance. We commend you for putting your love for God above all else, as it is written in Matthew 22:37 WEB:
Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment."
It is crucial to seek God's will in all aspects of our lives, including our relationships. We should continually ask Him to guide our steps and order them according to His will as it says in Psalm 37:23 WEB:
"A man's steps are established by Yahweh. He delights in his way."
As you seek consolation and guidance, remember that God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9 WEB). Trust that He is working everything out for your good because you love Him and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28 WEB).
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our sister who seeks Your guidance and consolation. We thank You for her unwavering love for You and her desire to follow Your will. Lord, we ask that You grant her a peace that surpasses all understanding, guiding her mind and heart as she navigates this chapter in her life (Philippians 4:7 WEB). Help her to trust in You with all her heart and not lean on her own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB).
In Jesus' name, we pray that You would make Your will clear to her, and that You would direct her steps. If it is Your will for her to be with this man in a godly marriage, we pray that You would bless their union and use them for Your glory. If not, we ask that You would give her the strength to follow Your will, whatever it may be.
Lastly, we pray for the man she loves and ask that he too would surrender his life to You. We ask for your will to be done in Jesus Christ's name. We give thanks for all the blessings we enjoy through Christ Jesus our Lord.
In Jesus Christ's name, we pray. Amen.
Continue to wait on the Lord, knowing that He is faithful. Be encouraged by Psalm 27:14 WEB:
"Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh."
Keep your focus on Him, and He will direct your paths.
