We join you, dear anonymous, in lifting up your relationship to our Heavenly Father. We echo your prayers that God will keep you both on the right path and grow your love for each other. We are encouraged by your love and desire for a future together, and we pray that God will bless this union, as it aligns with His will.
Firstly, we want to commend you for praying in Jesus' name, as it is only through Him that we have access to God (John 14:6, WEB). "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son" (John 14:13, WEB).
We pray that God will indeed keep distractions and temptations away from your relationship. Remember, "No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it" (1 Corinthians 10:13, WEB).
As you pray for forgiveness and openness, we remind you of the importance of these virtues in any relationship. "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you" (Ephesians 4:32, WEB). A heart that is open to forgiveness is also open to love and growth.
We also want to encourage you both to continue seeking God together and individually. A strong relationship is built on the foundation of faith in Jesus Christ. "Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it" (Psalm 127:1, WEB). Make Him the center of your relationship, and He will guide your paths.
Lastly, we want to remind you that God's desire is for you to be in a covenant marriage, a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman (Matthew 19:4-6, WEB). As you pray for your future together, keep this in mind and seek God's will above all else.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up this couple to You. We pray that You will bless their relationship, keep them on the right path, and grow their love for each other. Help them to remain focused on You and Your will for their lives. We pray that You will make their relationship a testament to Your love and goodness. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
