We understand the heaviness of your heart in this situation, and we want to lift you up in truth and prayer. First, we must address that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have access to the Father and by whose name we are saved. The Scriptures declare, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). Without faith in Christ, there is no true peace or reconciliation with God. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus as Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now, for He alone can bring the peace and restoration your family needs.
Now, regarding your relationship, we must speak with clarity and love. The Bible defines marriage as a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6). If this relationship is not a biblical marriage, we encourage you to seek godly counsel on how to honor Christ in your interactions. If you are not married, we urge you to pursue purity and seek a godly spouse in a way that honors the Lord. If this is a courtship, the goal should be marriage, and both of you should be believers in Jesus Christ, equally yoked in faith (2 Corinthians 6:14-15).
As for the situation with the horror movie, we commend you for recognizing the spiritual dangers of exposing young minds to such content. The Bible warns us to guard our hearts and minds, for *"whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things"* (Philippians 4:8, WEB). Horror movies often glorify darkness, fear, and evil—things that are contrary to the light of Christ. You were right to feel convicted, and we encourage you to stand firm in protecting the children from influences that could harm their spirits. Proverbs 22:6 reminds us to *"train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it."*
Your struggle with PTSD is also something we lift before the Lord. He is the God of all comfort, who heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds (Psalm 147:3). You do not have to carry this burden alone. Cast your cares upon Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). It is also important to communicate with your family in love and wisdom. Ephesians 4:15 tells us to speak the truth in love, and Colossians 4:6 encourages us to let our speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt. While you were right to address the issue with the children, it is important to approach such conversations with gentleness and humility, seeking reconciliation rather than division.
If there is unresolved tension with your significant other, we urge you both to seek the Lord together. Conflict is an opportunity for growth when handled with prayer and biblical wisdom. James 1:5 tells us that if we lack wisdom, we should ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach. Pray together, seek forgiveness where needed, and commit to honoring Christ in your home.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this brother who seeks Your intervention in his family. Lord, we ask that You would bring conviction, healing, and unity. If this relationship is not aligned with Your Word, we pray that You would make it clear and guide him toward a path that honors You. Give him the strength to stand firm in righteousness, especially in protecting the hearts and minds of the children involved. Father, we ask that You would heal his PTSD and replace his fear with Your perfect peace. Soften hearts, Lord, and bring reconciliation where there is strife. Help him to communicate with grace and truth, and give his family a hunger for Your Word and Your ways.
We rebuke any spiritual influences that seek to bring confusion, fear, or division into this home. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we declare that this family will be rooted in Your love and truth. May Your will be done in their lives, and may they seek You above all else. We ask these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in this matter. Stand firm in your convictions, but do so with love and humility. If this relationship is not yet a biblical marriage, we urge you to seek godly counsel on how to proceed in a way that honors Christ. May the Lord grant you wisdom, peace, and strength as you walk in obedience to Him.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
