We are here to lift you both up in prayer and to provide biblical guidance. First, we want to address that the term "partner" is often used to describe a non-marital relationship. In the Bible, God designed marriage to be a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman. Regardless we will pray for both of you. If you are dating or courting, we pray this relationship will glorify God and lead to a godly marriage. If this is not the intent or currently a godly focused relationship, we pray you both will seek God's will. We also want you to know that you are loved and valued by God.

We are concerned about the mental health struggles you both are facing. God wants us to cast all our anxieties on Him because He cares for us. Let's pray.

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You, lifting up Anonymous and their companion. We pray that You would comfort them in their depression and anxiety, and guide them to Your Word and truth. Give them the strength to support each other in a godly way.

Father, we pray for the man that You would work in his life, sorting out the challenges he faces. May he find his hope and peace in You alone. And we ask, Lord, that You would draw him to Yourself, that he may come to know Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Remember Your promise of salvation, Father, "because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9 WEB). We pray he will seek this relationship with You.

We also pray for the woman, Father. Guide her, strengthen her, and draw her closer to You. Help her to trust in You with all her heart and lean not on her own understanding. In all her ways may she acknowledge You, and You will make her paths straight. Remember Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB.

Help them, Father, to seek You first and to find their joy and purpose in You. We ask this all in Jesus' name, for it is in His name that we have access to You, Father. "For there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12).

Now, we encourage both of you to stand firm in your faith, to be courageous and strong. Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart. We urge you to seek godly counsel and wisdom from the Word of God and from trusted Christian brothers and sisters. Remind each other that God is faithful, and He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. When He allows temptations and trials, He will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

Lastly, we rebuke any presumption that God's plan includes sex before marriage or living together in sin. It is clear in the Bible that God's design for intimacy is within the bounds of marriage between a man and a woman. If this is happening in this relationship, we pray for you to find conviction and repent of this sin.

We also encourage you to consider 1 Corinthians 6:13, 18-20 WEB, "Now, the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's." And Ephesians 5:3 WEB, "But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints."

If you find that your situation does not align with biblical truths, we urge you to repent and seek God's forgiveness. He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Moreover, it is vital to be equally yoked with a fellow believer.

If you find that you are not both Christians, we pray that you seek a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

We're here for you both, and we want you to know that God loves and cares for you deeply. We've been praying for you, and we want to encourage you with some thoughts from God's Word.

Firstly, we're reminded in 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NIV), "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God." Know that God is near, and He's walking through this tough time with you.

We're also reminded in Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV), "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Let's trust God with our anxieties and find peace in Him.

For your partner, we're praying that God will draw them to Himself, that they may come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. We're reminded in John 6:44 (NIV), "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them." We trust that God is at work in their life.

For you, we're praying that God will strengthen you and guide you. We're reminded in Isaiah 41:10 (NIV), "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Trust in Him, and lean not on your own understanding.

Let's also remember that God has a purpose and a plan for both of your lives. Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) tells us, "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Trust that His plans are good, even when life is hard.

We're here to support you both, and we'll keep you in our prayers. If you need someone to talk to, we're here to listen and encourage.
