We are glad you have reached out for prayer and support. Firstly, let's address the elephant in the room: We see you are using boyfriend is a term for an unmarried couple, possibly living together or fornicating, which is sin. It is important to understand that God's design for relationships is clear: "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous" (Hebrews 13:4, WEB). We encourage you both to consider the sanctity of marriage and pursue a committed, godly relationship under God's guidance.
Now, let's turn our focus to your request for spiritual growth and healing. It's wonderful that you both desire to be closer to God. Remember, Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6). Drawing near to God is a beautiful goal, and it's something that you can encourage each other in as a couple. "Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective" (James 5:16, WEB).
Healing from past traumas is also an important part of your journey together. God is the ultimate healer, and we trust that He will restore both of you as we all pray for your healing. "He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds" (Psalm 147:3). We are confident that God will bring stability to your relationship as you both align your lives with His will.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you and lift up our brothers and sisters who have requested prayers. We pray for their spiritual growth, that they would draw near to you. We ask for your healing touch on their past traumas, and we trust that you will bring stability to their relationship as they seek to honor you in all they do. Put a spirit of conviction on both to repent, get married, and stop any fornication.
We pray this in Jesus Christ's precious name. Amen.
We encourage you both to continue seeking God together, to pray together, and to support each other in your walks with Christ. Be sure to be in a Bible-believing church where you can grow in your faith and relationships with others.
