1. A Morning Prayer for Boyfriend
“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.”
– Lamentations 3:22-24
Heavenly Father,
As [boyfriend’s name] wakes up today, I ask that You will be with him. May he wake up with the assurance that he is never alone, and that You are right beside him. Today, just like yesterday, and each day before You have been so merciful and gracious towards us. We all find ourselves falling short each day, and our personal struggles with sin can feel discouraging. I ask that You would remind him of the new mercies that You have extended to him today. May Your kindness lead him to repentance.
May he bask in Your love, and spend quality time in Your presence. Please be with him as he faces the challenges of a new day, even when things don’t go as he hoped, I pray that He would remember that You are faithful either way. Help him to place his trust in You, and not count on his own understanding. But instead, to turn to Your word for wisdom and guidance.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
2. A Prayer for Boyfriend’s Faith
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”
– Hebrews 11:6
Father,
Thank You for not leaving us in our sinful state. There is nothing that we could do that could have saved us, it would take someone who is sinless and perfect. And You sent that Someone.
You sent Jesus, to take our place, and bring us new life and an eternal hope. Even our very faith is a gift from You. And I am so thankful for the gift of faith that You have given my beloved.
There is nothing more beautiful than to be able to share the same faith with one another, and to pursue You together. I ask that You would strengthen his faith, and allow it to become unshakable. Your word says that it is impossible to please You without faith. I pray that his heart would undoubtedly believe that You exist, and that You reward those who seek You.
May his mission be to seek You earnestly, all the days of his life. May Your presence be his greatest treasure, and Your mission his highest purpose. May his faith take him places he never thought he’d be, and engine a light in the lives of those around him.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.
3. A Prayer for Boyfriend’s Safety
“Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
– Psalm 91:1-2
Lord,
Thank You for keeping my boyfriend safe through the night. I know there are so many instances each day that we may not even be aware of, where You have kept us from harm. As he sets out for the day, I ask that You watch over him, and take care of him. When he leaves home, and when he returns, I ask that You go before him and protect him.
Please guard his heart against any temptations, and from the deception of sin and the enemy. I ask that You would clothe him in the armor of God, that he might be alert and able to withstand the fiery darts of the enemy. Please clothe him with the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the belt of truth, the shoes of the gospel of peace, the shield of faith and the sword of the Spirit. May Your word be his weapon in this battle that we face each day. May he find shelter in Your shadow, and seek You as his refuge and fortress, in whom he can trust.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.
4. A Prayer for Your Relationship
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
– 1 Corinthians 13:4-
Dear God,
I am so thankful that you brought [boyfriend’s name] and I together. Thank You for the love, joy and companionship that we get to share with one another. I confess, it is not always easy, no relationship is. Growing so close to another person makes you realize so many things about yourself, and challenges you to change. But I know that those changes are healthy.
Please help us both be committed to changing for the better, while also being patient with one another. In times when we disagree or don’t see eye to eye, I ask that You would help us to remain kind and gracious toward one another. May we become more servant-hearted through our relationship, and consider one another above ourselves.
May our relationship be defined by Your kind of love, not a love that is boastful, prideful, self-seeking or easily angered. Please remain the foundation of our relationship, and if it is Your will, may we go on to serve You together in marriage. Please bless our relationship, and help us to pursue You together.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
5. A Prayer for Long-Distance Boyfriend
“Be patient with one another. If any one has a complaint against another, forgive that one. Christ forgave you. So you should forgive each other. Beside all these, you must have love. This joins everything together as it should be.Hold on to the peace of God which is in your hearts. You were called to have peace because you are all like one body. Be thankful.”
– Colossians 3:13-15
Lord,
Today I just want to lift up my relationship to You. It’s not easy to be in a long-distance relationship. The best thing we can do is communicate with one another, and to pray for each other. Please help us to become better communicators. Help us navigate long-distance, and make time for one another.
May our time in person or over the phone be fruitful and draw us closer to You and to one another. Please comfort us on days that feel lonely. Help us to patiently wait for the time we get to be reunited again. Even as we are apart, I pray that we will both seek Your face, and grow in our relationship with You. Help us to overcome the difficulties that we will face, and to surrender our relationship to You. It is not ours to hold onto tightly, but Yours to use for Your glory.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.
6. A Prayer for His Health
“Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.”
– 3 John 1:2
Father in Heaven,
You have made every part of my beloved. He has truly been fearfully and wonderfully made. And I can not thank You enough for bringing him into my life. Today, I want to pray for his health. You know how he is doing, and feeling more than anyone. If he is experiencing any health problems, I ask that You would heal him and make him whole. Help him not to ignore any issues that he is experiencing, but to have them checked. Please protect him from any harm, and ill intent. Please bless him with good health, and use him mightily for Your kingdom each day.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.
7. An Evening Prayer for Boyfriend
“In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.”
– Psalm 4:8
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for carrying my boyfriend through this day. I am so grateful that You kept him safe, and that You showed him another day filled with Your mercy and grace. As he prepares for bed tonight, I ask that he be aware of Your presence. May he seek Your face, and tell You whatever is on his heart and mind.
May he confide in You, and find rest, peace, strength and comfort in Your presence. As he lies down, I ask that You grant him Your peace. May he know that he is protected, and that You are watching over him. Please place Your hedge of protection over him and his home. May he rest peacefully, and wake up safely.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.
I have a prayer request please: Please pray for my relationship with my boyfriend Byron and myself, Julie. We aren’t sure if God wants us to get married in the near future, and yes we are both born again Christians. Also, both of us are in lack in our finances at the moment. Thank you so much and God bless you also! <3
Lord, please give Julie and Byron wisdom about the next steps in their relationship. Lead them towards marriage in Your perfect timing, giving them both peace and confidence in Your timeline for them. Show them how to be wise with their limited finances and show them how to make that work if they are to move toward marriage soon. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
