12 powerful prayers to be in a relationship with a specific person

Prayers can move mountains – and there’s nothing impossible if you believe in the power of prayers.

When you love someone dearly, praying for the person is one of the most selfless things you can do.

But when it comes to our love life and relationships, we don’t often pray for it.

Or maybe, we’re afraid to talk to God about our love life. Or perhaps, we have no idea how to pray for love.

Let this article guide you on how to work your way into someone’s life, how to pray for a specific person, and what powerful prayers you can say.

Can you pray for a relationship with a specific person?

If you talk to God and trust His works, and what you pray for is in alignment with His will and His desires, it will happen.

The truth is, praying for a relationship with a specific person can attract more love and positive energies in your life.

When we think of having a relationship with someone, there’s this fear of rejection especially if we don’t know the person that much.

But we can work our way through this person’s life.

How? By praying to God.

As God to open the heart of this person to love and help you connect with each other.

Know that it’s important to invite God and make Him part of your life and your relationship.

When you pray, you are working with God – and your prayer guides you in your relationship journey.

If you’re not yet praying for your relationship with someone, say a prayer now.

As the book of John 14:14 in the Scripture says, “You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.”

This means that if you need direction in your relationship, want God to strengthen your relationship, or seek a relationship with someone, ask for it in prayer.

12 powerful prayers for a specific person

The power of praying for love is so strong. Thus, you have to care about this person so you can infuse the power of love into your prayer.

The thing is, love stirs up energy in your subconscious to lay bare your heart before the universe. And it is through this that what you prayed for will achieve results.

Remember that God wants the best for you in ways that you can imagine. He wants you to be with the right person, so ask Him to guide you in this.

When you’re struggling with words, here are prayer guides that you can say.

1) Prayer for a relationship with someone

Saying a prayer for a relationship with someone always leads to a beautiful connection that’s filled with joy and bliss.

Make sure you have this specific person in mind before offering this prayer to the Universe. And make sure that your desire is strong to get the intended result.

But when this person isn’t the one you’re destined to be with, God will reveal that this relationship isn’t the one for you.

Let these prayers create a substantial change in your love life.

“Father in heaven, I came to you today to request a specific blessing – a gift of love and joy with (person’s name).

I want to be in a relationship with [person’s name]. I have faith that Your intentions for me are wonderful because I am confident that Your will is perfect. Please allow love to draw us closer by opening both my heart and the heart of (person’s name).

We need You to direct our path and help us to overcome any obstacles that stand in our way.

I ask this in Your holy name,

Amen.”

“God, Our Lord, I come to You today to seek Your guidance and assistance in my relationship with (person’s name).” Our relationship is in trouble, and it needs help to stay strong.

I and (name of person) seek Your assistance in overcoming any barriers in our relationship. We need help to overcome obstacles, difficulties, and even enemies.

I need Your support to live happily with (name of person) and have a good life with this person I adore and love so much.

Please hear my prayer with great affection and fulfill my desire. I have faith in You, in Your strengths, and Your powers.

Amen.”

2) Prayer for the person you love

Saying a prayer for the man or woman you love yields creates positive results because of the love in your heart.

Nothing is more powerful when you chanel love in the place of prayer.

Talk to God when you want this person to love you more or be loyal to you and to help strengthen your relationship.

You can offer this prayer to the person you love any time of the day.

“You are a good God, a gracious and loving Father, who has blessed me with every person who has come into my life.

I sincerely pray that this (name of person) would come to know and love You more.

I also ask that You grant them success in all their endeavors. So that they can observe signs of Your grace all around them, grant them favor with their loved ones, friends, and coworkers.

I give you thanks and praise because You are the ever-present God and are always with us. Amen.”

3) Prayer for a person to fall in love with you

If there’s someone in your heart, but you’re uncertain if this person feels the same way for you, this is how you can pray.

There’s nothing wrong with praying for someone to love you back as long as it’s the will of God.

So when you desire someone to love you back, go on your knees and leave it all to God in prayer.

“Heavenly Father, I truly cherish and adore (name of person).

I’m not sure if he/she feels the same way about me, and I’ve been working so hard to make him/her understand that I have this special kind of affection in my heart. I think of him/her every minute, and it’s tough to take my thoughts off of him/her.

I know you know him/her better than I do, and I entrust everything to you, Lord.

Please take command and make him/her notice my affection, see my love, and how I feel. I entrust everything to you, God, for you know my heart and my intentions.

Make (name of person) see me in the light of love, and let every word fall for me in the most lovely places.

Oh Lord, help me to love more, and let me be a living example of your love.

Amen”

4) Prayer for someone special

When getting signs that someone special or someone you care about needs strength, comfort, or love, then open up your heart to pray.

Offer a prayer as prayers bring miracles – from giving clarity to a confusing path to saving a life.

The Universe will answer you because of how you care for this person.

“Heavenly Father, I seek You to calm my loved one’s thoughts and fill their heart with Your serenity. Fill them with Your comfort, which surpasses all reason.

I care about him/her enough to pray for him/her, and You care about me enough to calm my anxieties. God, please take good care of (name of person).

Despite the act, he or she still needs Your favor, and I ask that You extend more than enough. Miracles will be worked in the life of (person’s name), and they will be protected, elevated heads about others, and protected.

Lord, bless and keep them. May Your face shine on them and be gracious to them throughout their lives.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

5) Prayer for someone specific to love you back

The Lord can powerfully send someone you know or an entirely new person into your life.

What you need to do is to pray for a real connection in your life that you may be valued, loved, and desired.

Say a prayer to ask Him to invite your one true love into your life so that this person may know and experience you more. Offering a prayer for someone to love you back will create a fresh passion in their hearts.

Pray that this person’s heart will be bonded with yours.

“Father in heaven. I’ve come to you today to seek your advice and help.

I’m looking for someone to share my life with. I’m trying to get the affection I deserve.

I ask that you aid me in finding a loving, compassionate, and caring partner. Someone who can make me laugh and who will stick with me no matter what. Someone who shares my values and who will provide our future children with a positive role model.

I’m confident in your ability to lead me to the right person at the appropriate moment because I know you have a plan for me. I appreciate your favors and will continue to exalt your name.

Amen.”

You can also say this prayer to St. Valentine to intercede for you before God and the person you love.

Saint Valentine is the patron of love  – and praying to him helps manifest genuine love and the right one for you.

“I pray to you today with tremendous desperation in my heart, Saint Valentine, Saint of Love, Saint of All Hearts, Saint of All Relationships.

I want to be with (name of person) because I love them, and I know they will be happy with me, but I need your assistance and interception to make that happen.

Saint Valentine, please bring (name of the individual) to me and have him fall in love with me so that he will want to be at my side.

I ask that you fill the void in my life with someone deserving. Look into my heart and fill it with faith in the Lord and his purpose.  Draw (name of person) to me and inspire them to like, love, and desire a relationship with me.

In the name of Jesus,

Amen.”

6) Prayer for a relationship to work

Being in a relationship reflects the heart of our God in so many ways. And we all have this desire to nurture our relationship and make it work for us.

When we pray,  God reminds us of how loved we are, uplifts our weary spirits, encourages us in moments of weakness, and invites us into the fullness of life.

Pray and ask God for a humble heart and wisdom in your relationships – whether it’s with your partner, friend, parent, or date.

“We come to You today, Heavenly Father, requesting that You fill our relationship with Your love and joy.

We are aware that we are powerless without You. Additionally, we are aware that Your love never ceases and that Your joy gives us courage.

To get us through the challenging times and to persevere when we feel like giving up, we need Your love and joy. To help us constantly remember the reasons we fell in love in the first place, we ask that You would bless our partnership with Your love and happiness.

In the name of Jesus,

Amen.”

7) Prayer for a struggling relationship

Prayer can bring your relationship back to its best state because appealing to God for the health of your relationship can have amazing results.

If you’re also on the verge of giving up or breaking up, offer a prayer to enhance the love and bond between you and your partner.

Say this healing prayer if you’re dealing with a difficult partner or you want to fill your relationship with a stronger bond, loyalty, trust, and truthfulness.

“Dear God, I humbly ask that you please repair the harm that our ongoing conflict has done to our relationship. Please grant us both the wisdom to use our understanding of what we’ve done wrong to make things better.

Lord, fill our connection and relationship with love. Allow it to enter every aspect of our existence, repairing the gap between us. Help my partner and me to love one another unreservedly and respectfully, as Christ loves the Church and as you love your human children.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.”

Besides prayer, adding Self-Healing Meditation to your daily habits can help strengthen your relationship. From my own journey, I can’t emphasize enough the transformative power of this free Self-Healing Meditation.

A year ago, my partner and I were close to breaking up because of misunderstandings. I started meditating daily and began to understand my own mistakes. This helped me apologize and forgive. Over time, our talks became more about understanding each other than placing blame.

When you meditate, you learn to listen and communicate better with your partner. Instead of quickly reacting, you respond with care.

So, if you’re on the verge of giving up or simply wish to deepen your bond, give this meditation a try. You might be surprised by the depth of change that can come from within.

8) Prayers for the relationship with your partner

It’s best to start praying for a relationship with your partner to set a good foundation.

You can ask God to touch the heart of your partner and fill your relationship with love and happiness.

“I pray for the (person’s name), that his heart be opened to God’s love. I pray that he sees the beauty and goodness in everyone and treats others with respect and compassion.

I hope our bond and relationship grow deeper and stronger over time. I hope (person’s name) finds delight in serving others and that his life is a benefit to everyone who knows him.

I pray that he may experience the peace and contentment that come from living a life that is under God’s will.

In the name of Jesus,

Amen.”

You can even ask your partner to join you in this prayer…

“Today, Heavenly Father, we come to You, asking for Your love and joy to fill our relationship.

We need Your love and happiness to help us get through the difficult times and to keep going when we want to give up. We ask that You bless our relationship with Your love and happiness so that we never forget why we fell in love in the first place.

In the name of Jesus,

Amen.”

9) Prayer for your future partner

Saying a prayer for your future boyfriend or husband is extremely powerful.

Whether you like someone in particular or waiting for that person in your life, praying will help you prepare for the person you’re destined to be with.

When you pray to God, you are surrendering your desires and thoughts to Him through prayer. And this allows you to experience His peace and unconditional love.

“I am your humble servant, Heavenly Father. I’ve come to you today to seek your advice and support.

I’m looking for someone to share my life with and for the love I deserve to have.

I hope you will assist me in finding someone who is kind, kind, and loving. Someone who will make me laugh and who will be there for me in good times and bad. Someone who shares my values and will be an excellent role model for our future children.

I believe you have a plan for me and that you will guide me to the right person at the right time. Thank you for your favors, and I will praise your name for the rest of my life.

Amen.”

“God, I pray that my future partner is aware of you and has a relationship with you. I pray that his love and desire for you grows. I hope that if he is not yet saved, you will soften his heart and he will commit his life to Jesus. I hope that you, Lord, show him who you are and that he freshly experiences your love.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.”

You can also ask God for clarity on the desires of your heart and for Him to confirm if the person you’re dating is the one.

“Heavenly Father, God, please affirm the desires in our hearts so that we can recognize we were intended to be together.

I hope you will get in touch with us both and let us know we are destined to be together.  I hope he will be confident to recognize me as his future partner.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

10) Prayer for your ex

If you broke up because your ex-partner was unfaithful, abusive, or whatever, you can continue praying for the person.

It isn’t easy to pray for your ex-boyfriend or ex-spouse. Remember that God asks us to love one another and pray for our enemies.

The truth is, praying for a person who hurt you moves you towards forgiveness and closure.

But gear your prayer towards healing, instead of asking to pray for this person to come back. Pray too that both your hurting heart and brokenness will be healed.

“Father, look after (person’s name). Show him your strength and the goodness of your heart. Show him the kind of love you want for him – one that is sincere, passionate, and pure.

Show him your change of heart and forgiveness. Give him a new path to follow. Show him mercy, grace, and acceptance. Make it clear to him that you value strong character and that he should never let a relationship cause him to drift from you. Please assist it to be true and demonstrate to him that I have forgiven him.

God, give me the courage to let go and pursue love once more. Give me the empathy I need to let go of what has been lost and help me adopt your ways. And if you could, please bless and protect (person’s name). Even though we’ve parted ways, I want to express my gratitude for bringing him into my life.

Amen.”

11) Pray to bring your ex back

If the breakup is caused by certain circumstances, such as a long-distance relationship or cultural differences in the family, it is acceptable to pray in a romantic sense.

You can seek God to know if the relationship pleases Him and is worth fighting for.

God knows what’s in your heart and what is best for you.

If you’ve lost the relationship with the person you love so much and you want this person back, pray to God for your love to return.

“God our Father, the love that (person’s name) and I have shared will always prevail. Right now, all I’m requesting is your patience and openness to forgiveness. Our relationship has experienced difficulties. But I have faith that You’ll bring my genuine love back, and we’ll be able to truly adore one another. I pledge to start over and approach our new connection as though it were our first encounter. We’ve been carefree in all that we did and loved without a care in the world. Dear God, I beg Your pardon and pray that You will help us rebuild this beautiful relationship.

Amen.”

“Dear God, I am so lonely without love in my life. I know You are the ultimate source of Love, and I am requesting Your assistance.

I am pleading with You to intervene. I am in desperate need of a change. Please return love to my life. Please assist me in returning to love. Return me to the light of love.

I am open and eager to welcome love. Now I open my heart to receive love. Thank You for hearing my plea.

Amen.”

12) Pray for someone you miss

We all miss people in our lives.

Separation, loneliness, and sadness can bring that huge impact on our lives.

Perhaps we are the ones who stay behind when our loved one departs. Or perhaps, we are the ones exploring new waters while the people we care about are anchored to land.

We can all relate to the emotion of missing someone, regardless of how we find ourselves separated from our loved ones.

So if there’s a person you miss right now, whether you are separated by distance or by death, talk to God through prayers.

“Almighty God, I can’t thank You enough for Your kindness. I come to You in thanksgiving for the wonderful life I lead. How grateful I am to be alive I cannot even begin to express. I pray for the well-being of (person’s name), wherever they may be. We’ve both had a difficult few months, and I miss him/her.

Lord, I ask for our wellbeing and harmony. Please assist him/her in overcoming his/her difficulties, both mental and otherwise, so that we can soon be reunited in your perfect time.

Amen.”

And here are ways on how you can pray for a potential relationship.

How to pray for a relationship?

When you pray, place your hopes and expectations into the hands of God.

Hand over all your concerns, fears, desires, and dreams to Him for He has the power to control everything in this world.

And keep the person in mind to help stir both your emotions. This way, the person you’re thinking about is already in your heart.

The key here is to pray for love instead of worrying about love.

1) Pray for the relationship

The word of God challenges us to ask and brings anything and everything before Him. As long as our hearts are in harmony with His will, what we can ask is limitless.

Talk to God – and tell Him your deepest needs and desires, and what you want Him to do in life.

Pray sincerely and trust that God will send His blessings to you.

2) Pray for patience

Things don’t happen instantly. God is in control and knows He always has the best plans for you.

When you pray, ask that He would grant you the patience to wait. Seek God’s help to change, nourish, and fill you.

This way, you’ll be empowered and ready for whatever God has planned for you.

3) Pray that God will heal everything in your life

As you seek God for a relationship with a specific person, ask His help to help you clear the unhealthy things in your life that are not in alignment with His works.

There could be past baggage, sins, bad habits, or negative traits that are blocking your way towards finding love.

Seek for His healing power to work in your life.

4) Pray that God will open your heart

You must learn how to love someone unconditionally, instead of being in love with the idea of love.

And this also means loving yourself so you can give more love to others.

Rather than longing to be loved by someone, it’s best if your heart is open to enriching the relationship that you will have with this person.

5) Pray for help to embrace the present

God wants you to learn from the past and move forward. But sometimes, when you can’t let go of the past, it hinders you from living in the present.

Seek God’s help to relieve you from your past so you can embrace the present. This will help move you to a better and more loving relationship in the future.

6) Pray for emotional protection

We don’t often pray for our hearts and emotional worlds.  But God wants to be part of your emotional and spiritual life – and He longs to connect with your whole being.

God is almighty and holistic and will protect you through tough times when you most need it.

So pray for guidance that He will guide you for a healthy interaction in your relationship.

7) Pray for God’s blessings in your relationship

You can’t control someone to be who you want them to be. It’s also futile to ask someone to live up to your expectations when they want to.

The best thing to do is to pray that  God will bless you with a fulfilling love life and healthy relationship instead of trying to change someone.

8) Pray as if God has answered your prayer

The key here is to engage your heart as it will make your deepest desires surface.

When you trust and believe that God has already made your relationship with someone happen, you will build a strong connection with them.

Say a prayer for someone

Prayers are an essential part of our spiritual life.

When we pray for someone, what we pray for counts a lot.

The thing is, prayer is one of the most effective, considerate, and compassionate ways we may show our love for anyone.

And when we pray, the strongest, most considerate, and most loving thing we can wish for others is that they might experience more of God.

Don’t worry as there’s no right way to pray – you can pray out loud or on your mind depending on what you’re comfortable with.

You can even write your prayer in a prayer journey so you’ll be amazed at how God has worked in your life.

As you pay, ask God to help you understand his answer. And in all your prayers, acknowledge Him and thank Him for his goodness and mercy.

The most important thing is to have a grateful heart and believe that His plans will be done.

Believe that God knows and understands the desires of your heart. Your prayers are heard by God, and he is concerned with your innermost aspirations.

So say a prayer for someone today.

And may peace be within you.
