We understand that you are seeking urgent prayer for a relationship, but we need to address several concerns biblically. First, we notice that you are using "###" as a placeholder for a name. We will refer to this person as the other person. Also, you mentioned "husband" but it is not clear if you are currently married. We will pray and provide counsel assuming that you are not currently married. You also mention that you want this person to become a born-again Christian. This is a worthy prayer, but we want to remind you that only God can change hearts, and it is not guaranteed that the other person will be born again. We should never try to force this change on others.
First, let's address the nature of your request. You express a strong desire for unity and love and attraction with the other person, but we must ensure that this aligns with biblical principles. In the Bible, we are commanded to love one another, but this love should be patient, kind, and not selfish. It should not be focused on our own desires but on the good of the other person and God.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy. For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit. But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort. Anyone who speaks in a tongue edifies themselves, but the one who prophesies edifies the church. I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be edified.
Now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you and speak in tongues, what good will I be to you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or word of instruction? Even in the case of lifeless things that make sounds, such as the pipe or harp, how will anyone know what tune is being played unless there is a distinction in the notes? Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle? So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air. Undoubtedly there are all sorts of languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning. If then I do not grasp the meaning of what someone is saying, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and the speaker is a foreigner to me. So it is with you. Since you are eager for gifts of the Spirit, try to excel in those that build up the church.
1 Corinthians 13:13-14:12 WEB
Second, we must address the issue of marriage. In the Bible, marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman. It is not something to be entered into lightly or for selfish reasons. We encourage you to pursue a godly marriage that honors God.
"Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."
Matthew 19:4-6 WEB
Finally, we want to remind you that it is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God. We notice that you do not use Jesus, Christ, or any abbreviation in your request. It is only through a saving faith in Jesus Christ that we can be saved. This requires turning away from our sins and trusting in Jesus as our Lord and Savior. There is no other name by which we can be saved.
'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.'
John 14:6-7
Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved."
Acts 4:12 WEB
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you today to lift up our sister in Christ. We pray that you would work in the heart of the other person and draw them to you. We pray that you would give our sister patience, kindness, and selflessness in her love for the other person. We pray that you would guide them both into a godly marriage that honors you, if it is your will. We pray that you would give our sister the wisdom and discernment to follow your will for her life. We pray that you would help her to turn away from any selfish desires and to trust in you completely. We pray that you would bless them both and guide them into a deeper relationship with you.
We also pray that you would convict our sister and the other person of any sin in their lives and give them the strength to turn away from it. We pray that you would give them both a desire to pursue purity and holiness in their lives. We pray that you would help them to resist temptation and to flee from sexual immorality.
Finally, we pray that you would give our sister a spirit of boldness to share the gospel with the other person. We pray that you would soften their heart and open their eyes to the truth of the gospel. We pray that you would draw them to yourself and give them the gift of salvation.
We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to continue to pray for the other person and to trust in God's will for your life. We encourage you to pursue a godly marriage that honors God. We encourage you to share the gospel with the other person and to pray for their salvation. We encourage you to turn away from any selfish desires and to trust in God completely.
