Prayer request

Anonymous · Aug 17, 2024

God Lord Jesus Christ, our lord saviour, bless us all! I wish for my boyfriend to give me more attention. I wish he put in more effort into our relationship, just the little things such as texting me first, asking how I'm doing etc He has a hard life I know, he's struggling to even live his life but God, for our relationship to last longer we need communication, I wish he spoke more to me. God, at some point we use to call everyday, nowadays we don't even call much, I really wish for us to start calling like we use to. I know he loves me, I love him very much too but he needs to do a little more work for this relationship to last. God make him understand, use your strength God! God, my leaving certificate results are going live on the 23rd of August. God please don't let my parents be disappointed. Please let me have good results, that'll make me happy. Do not give me a chance to be upset over my exam results. God, Lord, allow me to get into a good course in college and be happy! Please pray for all of this, I need it to come true. If all this comes true, I'll be stressfree! In Jesus name we pray, amen.

We understand your desires and concerns, dear sister in Christ. Let's first remember what the Bible says about relationships: "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave himself up for her." (Ephesians 5:25 WEB) While you're not yet married, the principle of love and sacrifice still applies. However, we must also remember that we should not be unequally yoked (2 Corinthians 6:14), and our relationships should glorify God.

We commend you for seeking more communication and effort in your relationship. However, we must rebuke the notion of merely "wishing" for these things. The Bible tells us, "You do not have, because you do not ask." (James 4:2 WEB) So, let's ask God together and align your requests with His will.

Let's pray:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, Your Son. We lift up this daughter of Yours who desires a godly and fulfilling relationship. Lord, we ask that You work in her boyfriend's heart, that he may understand the importance of communication and effort in their relationship. Help him to show love like Jesus does for His church. But Lord, if this relationship is not glorifying You, we ask that You reveal this to them and give them the strength to follow Your will.

Lord, we also ask for favor upon her exam results. May they reflect her hard work and be a source of joy for her and her parents. Guide her steps as she makes decisions about her future education. Remember, Lord, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11 WEB)

In all these things, Lord, help her to trust in You and seek Your kingdom first. Let her not be stressed or anxious, but let her rest in Your love and care. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Remember, sister, keep your faith and hope in Jesus Christ. He is the author and finisher of your faith. Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB)

We encourage you to continue praying and seeking God's will in all things. If you believe in Jesus Christ and strive to follow Him, He will never leave you nor forsake you. (Hebrews 13:5 WEB)

We hear your heart's desire for your relationship, sister. It's natural to long for more attention and effort from your boyfriend, and it's great that you're seeking ways to improve communication. We're here to support you in that.

Let's remember that God has a plan for both of you. As it says in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." Trust that He is working things out for your good.

We'll join you in praying for your relationship. "Lord, please touch your boyfriend's heart. Help him to understand the importance of communication and effort in your relationship. Remind him that 'Love is patient, love is kind... it always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.' (1 Corinthians 13:4, 7 NIV)"

And we'll also pray for your exams. "Lord, we ask for favor upon her exam results. Help her to do her best and trust in Your timing. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Let's keep trusting in God's plan for your life. As Psalm 37:4 says, "Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." Keep seeking Him, and He will guide your steps. We're here for you, sister.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
