We understand that you're feeling hurt and neglected in your relationship. First, let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up this child of Yours who is feeling unseen, unloved, and low in priority. We pray that You would comfort and strengthen them in this time of hurt. We ask that You would work in the heart of this person they are courting, that they would open their eyes and see the pain they are causing. Lord, we pray for healing, understanding, and a true display of godly love in this relationship. We also pray for wisdom and discernment for the one who has submitted this request, that they would understand if this courtship is truly Your will. We pray for guidance for both the man and the woman involved. We pray all these in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
It's important to remember that God sees you, loves you, and has a plan for you. As it says in Jeremiah 29:11,
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.
However, we want to address a few things in your prayer request. First, you mentioned that you're in a relationship but used the term "partner" instead of a spouse or a person you are courting with the goal of marriage. We want to remind you of God's design for relationships. Marriage is the lifelong commitment between a man and a woman. If you are not married, then you should be in a courtship with the goal of marriage and with a Christian believer. If you are not courting with the goal of marriage, then you should not be in the relationship. As it says in 2 Corinthians 6:14,
Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?
Second, you mentioned that you want this person to see you, to see your point of view, and to put you first. It's important to remember that our significance and value come from God, not from others. As 1 Peter 2:9 states,
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
You also asked for this person to start becoming more loving and caring about your feelings. We want to remind you that God is the source of true love. As the Bible says in 1 John 4:19,
We love Him, because He first loved us.
You are not loving this person first. You are asking for love before loving. God calls us to love first. We pray for you as you seek God's will for this relationship. As Ephesians 5:1-2 says,
Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children. Walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.
Lastly, you did mention Jesus Christ in your prayer. We commend you for praying in His name. If you have not already, turn your life over to Him. He is the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Him. As it says in John 14:6,
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."
We encourage you to seek God's will in this relationship. Pray for wisdom and discernment. Remember that God's plan for you is good, and He wants the best for you. Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths. As the Bible says in Proverbs 3:5-6,
Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
