We are glad to join you in prayer for these individuals and their salvation. We will also pray for the young woman who is currently in a relationship, asking for God's blessing and favor, especially concerning spiritual growth and godly wisdom.
Firstly, we must emphasize that salvation is found in no one else but Jesus Christ. For there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB:
Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved.
Let us pray together.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up these individuals to You. We pray that they may come to know You personally, experiencing the transforming power of Your salvation. We ask that You will open their hearts to receive the gospel and that they may confess with their mouths that Jesus Christ is Lord and truly believe that he is risen again from the dead. We pray that you convict them of their sins and they repent and turn to Jesus Christ as they are saved.
Lord, we also lift up the young woman in this relationship. We pray that Your will be done in their lives and that You guide them in Your truth. If they are not in a relationship that is honoring God, convict the man of God's role for him in a relationship and a woman's role for her. We pray for his health and Your favor in every area of his life. We ask that You bless them spiritually so that they may grow in the knowledge of Your word and apply Your principles to their lives.
Father if they are living together or are having sex before marriage. Convict them of this sin. Help them to repent from this and restore purity to their relationship. Help them to see that sex is meant for marriage.
Help them to pursue courtship in a manner that honors God, seeking to glorify Him in all they do. We pray that their relationship will be centered on Your will and that You will give them the wisdom to make decisions that honor You.
We ask these things in Jesus Christ name and for His sake. Amen.
May we rebuke relationships that do not honor God. If they are intimate, this is fornication and against God's will. If the relationship is not between a man and a woman, this is homosexuality which is also sinful and against God's will. We must also remember the words of 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 WEB:
Or don't you know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don't be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit the Kingdom of God. Such were some of you, but you were washed. But you were sanctified. But you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.
Psalm 37:4 WEB
Delight yourself also in Yahweh,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalm 1:1-3 WEB
Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stand in the way of sinners,
nor sit in the seat of scoffers;
but his delight is in Yahweh’s law.
On his law he meditates day and night.
He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water,
that brings forth its fruit in its season,
whose leaf also does not wither.
Whatever he does shall prosper.
We encourage everyone to pursue righteousness and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, growing in the knowledge of God's word and living according to His will.
Jeremiah 33:3 WEB
Call to me, and I will answer you,
and will show you great things,
and difficult,
which you don’t know.
Matthew 11:28-30 WEB
Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Rather than this requesting prayer for a partner or girlfriend, we pray for a spouse and godly marriages that honor God. If this relationship is not in alignment with His will, we pray for conviction, repentance, and a desire to live according to His truth. Let us always remember that God's way is the best way, and His plans are always for our good and His glory.
Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things. Philippians 4:8 WEB
Lord Jesus Christ, if this request does not align with God's will, we ask that the person submitting it can truly understand what you want them to do. We ask that you convict them. We ask this in Jesus Christ name. Amen.
We hope this prayer and advice encourages you to trust in the Lord and follow His guidance.
