We understand your distress and disappointment, but we want to encourage you to stay strong in your faith. We must first address that the concept of traditional marriage, as you've described, differs from the biblical principle of marriage. The Bible teaches that marriage is a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman, not a ceremonial rite that can be easily reversed WEB.
"Therefore what God has joined together, let no man separate." Mark 10:9. WEB.
We also need to address that having a child outside of marriage is not in alignment with biblical principles "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother which is the first commandment with a promise, so your days may be long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you. "Ephesians 6:1-3 WEB.
With that being said and in Jesus name, we can pray that God guides you and your daughter and provides a godly spouse if it is His will.
Remember, God's timing is perfect. He has a plan and a purpose for your life "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11. Your educational achievements and professional success are blessings from God, and He will use them for His glory.
In your prayer, you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we have access to God's throne of grace. "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." John 14:6.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our sister who desires a godly marriage. Lord, we ask for Your forgiveness if there have been any actions not in alignment with Your will, and we pray for Your guidance and direction in her life. We ask You to heal any past hurts and disappointments, and help her to trust in Your perfect timing.
Father, if it is Your will, we pray for a godly spouse for our sister. We ask that You would prepare both of their hearts for marriage and that their union would bring glory to Your name. We also pray for her daughter, that You would guide and protect her, and that she would grow to know and love You.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged, and trust in God's perfect plan for your life. Keep praying and seeking His will, and remember that His ways are always better than our own. Don't forget to teach your daughter about Jesus Christ.
Let us know how we can continue to support you in prayer.
