We are glad to join you in prayer and to offer biblical guidance for this situation. We notice that the names of the individuals were replaced with '###' and this is fine since names are not really needed. However, we need to address several aspects of this request to ensure it aligns with biblical principles.
Firstly, we commend you for acknowledging Jesus Christ in your prayer. It is only through His name that we can approach God the Father, as it is written in John 14:6 WEB: "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
Now, let's consider the relationship in question. We believe in the sanctity of marriage as a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman, as outlined in the Bible. Therefore, we encourage individuals to pursue relationships that align with biblical principles. In Ephesians 5:31 WEB, it says, "For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh."
When you mention that you hope they will have an honest and deep conversation about their future together, we must ask: What is the current state of their relationship? Are they a Christian man and woman pursuing courtship with the goal of marriage? If so, this conversation is indeed important, and we encourage them to seek God's will for their future together.
However, if they are not pursuing a biblical marriage, we urge them to reconsider their relationship. If they are involved in any form of sexual immorality, such as fornication or adultery, they must repent and turn away from their sin. In 1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB, it says, "Flee sexual immorality! Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."
Let us pray for them:
Dear Lord Jesus,
We come before You today to lift up this couple to You. We pray that You will give them the wisdom and courage to have an honest and deep conversation about their future together. If their relationship is pleasing to You and aligned with Your will, we pray that You will bless it and guide them towards a godly marriage. However, if they are not pursuing a biblical relationship, we pray that You will convict their hearts and lead them to repentance.
Help them to flee from any form of sexual immorality and to pursue purity and holiness in their lives. Give them a desire to honor and glorify You in all that they do, and help them to make decisions that are pleasing to You.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
