Scripture

2 Corinthians 6:14-18

Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What agreement has Christ with Belial? Or what portion has a believer with an unbeliever? What agreement has a temple of God with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, “I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.” Therefore “‘Come out from among them, and be separate,' says the Lord. ‘Touch no unclean thing. I will receive you. I will be to you a Father. You will be to me sons and daughters,' says the Lord Almighty.”

1 Thessalonians 4:3-8

For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality, that each one of you know how to control his own body in sanctification and honor, not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don't know God; that no one should take advantage of and wrong a brother or sister in this matter; because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified. For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification. Therefore he who rejects this doesn't reject man, but God, who has also given his Holy Spirit to you.

Proverbs 4:23

Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life.

Pray these

  1. Father, keep Christ, not romance, at the center of my identity.
  2. Father, give me discernment concerning character, faith, compatibility, and readiness.
  3. Father, help me maintain clear boundaries and honor both bodies and hearts.
  4. Father, deliver me from desperation, fantasy, manipulation, and ignoring warning signs.
  5. Lead me toward relationships that produce holiness, peace, truth, and mutual service.
