We join you in lifting up this situation to our Heavenly Father, seeking His wisdom and guidance for this couple. The Bible is clear about the importance of honesty in our relationships, especially in courtship. We read in Colossians 3:9-10, "Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings, and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator."
Let us pray together:
Dear Lord, we come before You, lifting up this couple to You. We pray that You will grant them both the courage and wisdom to be completely honest with each other. Lord, You desire truth in the inward parts, and we ask that You help them to walk in Your truth. Guide their conversations, Lord, and help them to seek Your will for their relationship. We pray that You will bring clarity to their situation and draw them closer to You and to each other in a way that honors You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage both individuals to seek God's will for their relationship, remembering that God's ways are higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9).
In the meantime, both should continue to pursue a right relationship with God. We are reminded of Matthew 6:33, "But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well." As they put God first, He will guide their steps and work in their relationship according to His perfect plan.
We encourage them both to be intentional about studying the Bible and spending time in prayer, both individually and together. This will not only strengthen their personal relationships with God but also provide a strong foundation for their courtship. Colossians 3:16-17 says, "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord."
