One of the most wonderful and selfless things you can do for someone, especially someone you love very much, is to pray. It is a means of expressing gratitude and appreciation for the presence of that special someone or a group of people you cherish.
It involves setting aside some of your time, concentrating your efforts, and praying for God’s blessings on their behalf.
People frequently ask God for things they want when they pray. They make a wish list of things they want from God, including assistance, love, direction, etc. By stepping back from that and praying for someone else, you are not only removing yourself from the spotlight but also entrusting God with that person.
When you pray for someone, you are acting selflessly and wishing for their betterment, health, happiness, and eternal blessings. Few people are willing to offer prayers on behalf of others. When it comes to the people you love, though, things can sometimes be a little different. For the people we love, we are prepared to make sacrifices and go above and beyond.
Pray for the man you love, whether he is your boyfriend, your partner, your fiancé, your husband, or your close companion. It is the nicest thing you can do for him and the best present you can give. Pray for both their safety and their knowledge if you love your children.

Cultivate in them an incessant need to read Your Word and to hold on to it. Lord, save them, not for me, but for them, and for the honor of your name, that you are the God who can save anyone. In this, I trust that you act by your Spirit. Amen.
Prayer for a place to live
God of Providence, I beg you to extend your powerful hand in favor of my beloved to help her find a stable place to live. Grant him the favor of potential owners and help him find a place that suits his needs. I know that You take care of our daily needs and that we can ask You to provide for our needs. Just as You provide for the animals of this land, please provide a safe haven for my beloved. They are tired and overwhelmed, God. Please give them rest. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
Prayer for a job
God, my path maker, I pray that you make provision for my loved one who needs a long-term, stable job. You already know what his next job will be and you have a plan for his life. Mold and shape them to prepare them for the next job. Guide them through the opportunity search and through the application and interview process.

Always go ahead of them so they are not afraid. He supernaturally thwarts any evil that may befall them. Keep my beloved as the apple of Your eyes and hide him in the shadow of Your wings. In your mercy and power, watch over them. In the precious name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
Prayer for spiritual protection
O Jehovah, mighty Father, your Word affirms that the evil one prowls like a lion looking to devour someone, but that all who savage us will be ashamed and disgraced. You say that those who oppose us will be as nothing and perish. Father, prepare my loved one for the spiritual battle in his daily life. Clothe them with the full armor of God. Protect them from the fiery slingshots of the devil. Let Your angels stand guard and rebuke the wicked. In Christ, I know that we are more than conquerors. Amen.

Holy God of light, You direct the steps of those who love you. By your Spirit, I pray that you guide my loved ones in every decision they make. I know there are key decisions ahead for you to make. I admit that I don’t know the right path. But you do. You say that Your wisdom is freely given to those who ask for it. I ask you now on their behalf to give them the wisdom to know what decisions to make. Give, God, as you did to Solomon, wisdom, and insight, and a breadth of understanding as great as the sand on the seashore. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.

Change his heart and mind and give them faith in him. You are powerful to save and you have the power to change a person’s heart. Amen.
Prayer for awareness of sin
Creator and sustainer, mighty God, in your grace there is freedom. But it is not a license to sin. Make my beloved understand that sin only brings destruction and pain in the end. Return them to the freedom that Your commandments offer. You have called each one of us by his name, God, and you will forgive those who seek your face and repent of their wicked ways.

Heavenly Father, I come to You with a pain in my heart. I love this person, and even though I know he knows the difference between right and wrong, he continues to live a life of sin. He transforms their hearts so that they clothe themselves with the new self that comes from You. Remind them that they were bought with a price and that they belong to you. Remind them that life is fleeting and that their days are numbered. Open their spiritual ears to hear your truth and pass through the door you have opened to eternal life with you. Thank you for sending your Spirit to guide us in your ways for us. Amen.
Prayer for Perseverance
Loving Father, You are the God who exalts the weary and gives strength to the persevering. I pray for my loved one that he needs to persevere in his current situation.

Write on their hearts that resistance will develop their character and that their character will strengthen their hope of salvation. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
Prayer of encouragement
Heavenly Father, I pray for my beloved. They are sorely in need of encouragement, Father God. Stir their souls and give them energy for the days to come. Let circumstances not be the determining factor in their confidence, but root them in the rock-solid certainty of your promises. Even in difficult times, fill their hearts with Your joy. Revitalize their minds, bodies, and souls to carry them forward and help them soar on wings like eagles. Help them run and not get tired. I trust that You give strength to the weary and increase the power of the weak. Amen.
Prayer for Hope
O God of devoted love, Jesus is our living hope. Even though there are trials and tribulations, you allow your people to have courage because Jesus has overcome the world. For my loved one, help him to stand firm. Give them confidence in the hope that You give them. May your days be filled with joy despite the circumstances that surround you. Enlighten the eyes of their hearts that they may know the hope to which you have called us, and the riches of our glorious inheritance for your people. Thank you for the reward stored in heaven for those who resist until the end. Amen.
Prayer of Thanks for Someone
God of radiance and joy, I am so grateful that you have brought this wonderful person into my life. As Jonathan was to David, they were to me.

Abba, Father, I come to You on behalf of this person I love. In his situation and wherever he goes, I beg you to provide him with good friends in faith to stand by his side. Surround them with people who are not only partners but who give them fellowship and brotherhood in Christ Jesus. May they be absorbed into a strong Christian tribe that leads them to love others as You do, and to walk in the image of Your Son, Jesus. I beg you and thank you for your constant presence in their lives and mine. Amen.
Prayer for Peace
Living God, I pray that You ease the mind of my loved one and put Your peace in his heart. Fill them with Your peace, which transcends all understanding. Bless them and keep them, Lord.
