A Prayer for Divine Friendships and Kingdom Alliances:
It is important to have Holy relationships in one’s life, unity in the Kingdom of God. Pray for Divine connections, ask God to bring people into your life that reflect HIS values, and can strengthen your faith. Bonds rooted in HIS love and purpose, true fellowship.
Kingdom Alliances:
Ask God to form alliances with those who are dedicated to advancing HIS Kingdom. Pray for the creation of partnerships that contribute to fulfilling God’s plan. Ask HIM to bring comrades who will encourage and support one another in faith.
Divine Direction:
Pray that both you and your future companions are drawn to each other by God’s Divine will. Express gratitude for HIS provision of meaningful and purposeful relationships, for HIS glory, and Kingdom. A Divine Alliance between David and Jonathan (1 Samuel 18:1-3). The passage speaks about the deep bond between David and Jonathan, which was a Divine alliance. Jonathan, the son of King Saul, formed a covenant with David, recognizing God’s hand on his life and mission.
Strength of Unity:
The passage (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12) highlights the strength and benefits of companionship, which can be seen as a form of Divine alliance in the context of building and supporting God’s Kingdom. Divine friendships and alliances are not just about companionship, but about fulfilling God’s purpose together, walking in unity, and shared faith for HIS glory.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
New International Version
9 “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor:
10 If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.
11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone?
12 Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
King James Version
9 “Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.
11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?
12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
Living Bible
9 “Two can accomplish more than twice as much as one, for the results can be much better. 10 If one falls, the other pulls him up; but if a man falls when he is alone, he’s in trouble.
11 Also, on a cold night, two under the same blanket gain warmth from each other, but how can one be warm alone? 12 And one standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer; three is even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.”
