We understand that you're seeking prayer for a smooth first meeting between your daughter and your long-term girlfriend. While we empathize with your situation, we must address this from a biblical perspective.
Firstly, we notice that the request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. The power for change is only found by His name and through Him. We pray this in Jesus' name and encourage you to do the same. If you are not sure about Jesus, we encourage you to learn more about Him, as there is no other name by which we can be saved. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB)
Secondly, we want to remind you of the biblical principles regarding relationships. As believers, we are called to pursue relationships that align with God's will. We will pray for God's will for your life, and that He will align your life with His will.
The Bible teaches us that marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman. If you are divorced we hope it was for biblical reasons. While it is important to move forward, it is equally important to ensure that any new relationship is built on biblical principles.
If you are not married then we will pray for God's will for your marriage, and that He will help your family heal. We will pray that He will help you be able to deal with your ex-wife. If you are considering remarriage, it is crucial to seek God's will and ensure that any new relationship aligns with His plan for your life.
If you are already married, then we will pray that He will forgive you and help you deal with the problems in your current marriage.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up this situation to Your throne of grace. We pray that Your will be done in this meeting, and that You guide each step, each thought, and every word spoken. Lord, we ask for Your peace to fill the hearts of each person involved, and that any anxiety be replaced with Your perfect love. Guide them in Your paths for your name's sake. (Psalms 23:3 WEB) Help them to deal with situations in Your way and in Your will according to your Word. (Psalms 119:105 WEB)
Lord, we also pray for healing and unity within this family. Guide them with Your wisdom, and help them to make decisions that honor You. If it is in your will, help them to reconcile and to be healed. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen. (Psalms 147:3 WEB)
We encourage you to continue seeking God's will in all areas of your life, trusting that He has a plan and a purpose for you and your family. Remember that God is faithful, and He will guide you through this journey. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. (Deuteronomy 31:6 WEB)
