We join you in lifting up this situation to our Heavenly Father, seeking His divine intervention and guidance. We pray for wisdom and discernment for her, that God would reveal His will for her life and grant her the strength and courage to act accordingly.
Firstly, we want to address the importance of praying in the name of Jesus Christ. It is wonderful that the request included this, as it is only through Jesus that we have access to 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.
And in Acts 4:12 WEB:
There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!
Now, regarding the relationship in question, we pray that God would bring clarity and honesty between them. If there is a connection that honors God, we pray that He would guide them towards a godly courtship focused on His will, ultimately leading to a marriage that reflects the sacred bond between Christ and His church. As it is written in Ephesians 5:25-27 WEB:
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it; that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
However, we must also caution that if the relationship does not align with biblical principles, such as if it involves premarital sex or is not centered on a shared faith in Christ, then we pray for conviction and repentance. We encourage both individuals to pursue purity and holiness, fleeing from any hint of sexual immorality, as it is written in 1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB:
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 together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up these individuals to You. Grant them wisdom, discernment, and courage to follow Your will. Bring clarity and honesty to their relationship, and guide them towards a godly union that honors You. If there is any sin, convict them and draw them to repentance. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage both individuals to continually seek God's will for their lives and their relationship, studying His word and praying together. May God guide them and bless their union as they honor Him.
