We are grateful for your heartfelt request and join you in lifting up your daughter and her boyfriend to the Lord. It is encouraging to see your desire for them to glorify God in their interactions and plans for marriage.
Firstly, we commend you for praying in the name of Jesus, as it is through His name that we have access to the Father and it is the name by which we are saved. "in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him." Ephesians 3:12 WEB
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our daughter and her boyfriend. We pray that You would grant her the wisdom and grace to handle conflicts and difficulties in a manner that brings glory to Your name. Help her to be patient, loving, and humble, always considering others better than herself, as Your Word instructs in Philippians 2:3, "Let nothing be done through strife or conceit, but in lowliness of mind, each hold the other better than themselves."
We also pray for her boyfriend, that You would reveal Your vision for their relationship and future marriage. Grant them the ability to resolve conflicts in a way that fosters growth and accountability, without resorting to blame. Help him to model the love that You have shown us, preferring one another in love, as it says in Romans 12:10, "in love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate to one another; in honor preferring one another."
We ask that You would guide their steps as they prepare for marriage, that their union would be a testament to Your love and faithfulness. Help them to remain pure and holy, fleeing from any temptation of sexual immorality and fornication before marriage. "Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body." 1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB
We pray that their love would be a reflection of Christ's love for the church, selfless and enduring, as described in Ephesians 5:25, "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it."
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage both of them to continually strive for holiness and purity, remembering that their bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, as 1 Corinthians 6:19 reminds us, "Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own."
Lastly, we remind them of the words of Ephesians 4:32, "And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.", and reassure all of us that our Heavenly Father is faithful to guide and direct our paths as we seek Him and His will.
