Prayer for a long distance relationship

by Megan
(Portland, OR)

Dear Lord, I know that I have been beautifully and wonderfully made, and I thank you for my life and for Your love.

Thank you, also, for granting me a partner who is also beautifully and wonderfully made, who shows me some of Your character, and who brings me joy and fulfillment in ways I didn’t even know I needed!

You are a gracious and loving God and I thank you for giving us the gift of being able to share that love with one another.

Lord, You know my heart, and You know that I would much rather have my partner from far away than not at all.

You also know that sometimes my heart aches with the desire to be near my partner: to share life’s joys and to comfort each other when life is hard; to laugh together, to play together, and to be able to look one another in the eye and say “I love you,” even when resolving conflicts.

I know that You have a plan for us, and that Your plan is much better than one that I could devise. Right now it is so hard for us to be away from each other, so please, Lord, fill us with strength for the journey.

Help us recognize the value in each day, and to see each day as a new opportunity. Fill our hearts with compassion, understanding, and creativity to keep us strong when the pain seems too difficult to bear.

And please, Lord, if you will, help us find a way to be together soon.


In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen.

me and my husband are far from each other because he is a seaman. I am 39 weeks pregnant and anytime i will deliver our long awaited baby boy--YANIS.

We got married last 2008, and we have been apart since then..we see each other only for 2-5 months and sometimes 2 months only. however, we are well communicated through facebook.

we are close to each other via electronic and we long to see each other to hug and kiss each other especially now we have a baby.

I love my husband so much and I really thank GOD we got chance to be together and every moment we spend together we treasure it and we always remember it in our hearts.

i like the prayer you created and i pasted it in my letter for my husband....im sure he will be happy because of the words used, really can touch his heart....

This prayer was jus wat I needed..me and my boyfriend are a new couple and neither one of us hav ever done the long distance thing. He called last night saying how his heart hurt so much from missing me. I told him we need to pray but I wasn't even sure where to start. This prayer sums up everything that we need right now. Thank you for posting this

I have been looking for a prayer that is specifically for couples on a long distance relationship. Thank you so much for posting this prayer. I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for about a month and a half now, he's in the Philippines and I live in Los Angeles, I know we are just starting out but this prayer encourages us to keep holding on and wait for the day that we are together. We may be far apart but we feel close at heart when reciting this prayer.

Thank you so very much.

Hi! Thank you so much for posting this prayer of yours. I have been in a Long Distance Relationship for 5 yrs now. Yes, that's right, 5 yrs. He is in the Philippines, we migrated here 5 in Canada 5 years ago. I, myself, could not even imagine we lasted this far but I thank God for being there for us all day to keep our relationship strong. For 5 years being away from him, I made sure to visit him every year. It is really hard for us. Seeing your prayer gives me more hope and strength once again. Thank you so much! For God be the glory!
Thank you Megan

Megan thank you so very much to help me put into words what I struggle every day to ask. I am certain if it wasn't for the Good Lord I would have never met my love and I enjoy praising Him for the gift.
Encouraging prayer

Hi,

Thank you very much for much for posting this prayer. It means a lot to me when I read and encouraging me everyday of my life.

I have been in a long distance relationship for almost 3 years coming this September, me and my patner have been blessed with a son too. But we live about five hours apart..and we only see each other very few times..in a year. As he's working seven days a week, sometimes it's so difficult being away from him and my son too..But I love my partner so much and I know God has all the good reasons for us to be together. And also on my side I have a work that I have to travel so much both within and outside the country. Iam now six hours ahead of him...and it's even harder that my cell it's not working only I depend on my email..or land line..He's working almost more than 15 hours a day sometimes...But I'm praying for him and for us..that God to keep us strong in this time until I see him again. And I again am asking God for his protection for my patner and my son too. I someday, sometime God will do miracles and he will get a job in the same City with me.

Thank you again for sharing this wonderful prayer with us. God bless you in Jesus name Amen.

Africa.

Hi there, thanks for your comment. My sweetie and I have been in a long-distance relationship for well over a year at this point, and we just keep praying for him to get a job in Oregon!! (He lives in Illinois!!) I'm in grad school, and he's post grad school trying to find his feet...we've come to the end of our "money to spend for fun" to see each other; previously we were seeing each other about every 6-10 weeks, but now we've decided to save that money on trying to get him moved out here :-/ So it's hard...but like you, I believe this is the man for me!! It's hard to be in a long-distance relationship, but think of it this way: we are sooooooooooo blessed to have found someone that is worth the strife and the wait!!

Blessings and Peace!
A helpful blessing

Thank you so much for posting this prayer. I've been in a long distance relationship for almost seven months now with the man I know in my heart is the person that I'm suppose to be with for the rest of my life. We live about 5 hours apart and see each other about one weekend a month. In the next few months his job might take him even further away and I'm praying for the patience and strength to face any challenges we meet down the road and to look foward to a time that we can be together all the time. Thank you again, this prayer is a blessing.
