Dating can be daunting. It can bring excitement as well as anxiety. There are moments of great joy, and the possibility of pain and rejection. There are many unknowns as well as many opportunities. In many ways, dating can be much like life itself!
Below are some prayers written for those who are dating and who may be walking through the highs and lows that it can bring. However, these prayers also serve as a reminder to all Christians, whatever our relationship status may be. Matters of the heart and our affections toward God and others are important. May these prayers strengthen and encourage you to keep your eyes on the Lord.
Heavenly Father,
May 1 John 1:5-7 be our prayer. You Lord are light and in you there is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with you, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as you are in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin. May we have fellowship based on your love, light and life that you have given for us both.
Lord Jesus,
I pray that we will be united together following you and keeping you at the center of our relationship. May your will be done, Lord. I also pray that I will keep in your Word and in prayer to you. Search me O God and know my heart (Psalm 139:23).
Forgive me for those times where I have fallen into sinful patterns. May I always look to you. Help me to flee the sin that so easily entangles. Give me strength and a greater love for you in my weakness. Comfort me, in your great mercy and compassion. Strengthen me for the spiritual battle I am in. Increase the fruit of the Spirit in my life so that I can love the one I am dating with the same love that you have loved me.
Heavenly Father,
Father, I pray for courage to say no to a relationship that is not your best for me. Strengthen me in the waiting, help me cast my anxieties upon you as I walk confidently one day at a time, knowing you are with me. I will trust in your perfect timing.
It can be painful to think that we may not end up with the person that we thought we would. May you be close to us if we have encountered the end of a relationship, whether through broken relationships within our own families growing up, or perhaps having to let go of someone we thought we would always be with. May we be surrounded by models of faithfulness that point us to your faithfulness toward us.
Dear Lord,
Remind me of how much you have forgiven me and show me how to forgive them if they have wronged me. Help my words to build up and be grace-filled, not words that tear down (Ephesians 4:29). May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, my Lord (Psalm 19:14).
If and when we consider marriage together, may we never lose sight of how it is pointing to you, Lord Jesus, as the Bridegroom. We are your church and bride. Thank you for laying down your life for us. May we choose to do the same as we consider our lives together as a one flesh marriage union. May our lives, both individually and together, be set apart as a holy bride, waiting for you, our Bridegroom, to return in power and glory.
He is a cross pendant.
He is engraved with a unique Number.
He will mail it out from Jerusalem.
He will be sent to your Side.
