We join with you in giving thanks to our Heavenly Father for the jobs He has provided, for every good gift comes from His hand and we praise Him for His provision. We are encouraged by your desire to honor Him in your work, your finances, and your relationship, and to build together with integrity and shared purpose.
We agree with you that two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor, Ecclesiastes 4:9, and when a man and a woman walk together in unity under Christ, God can establish their work and their future. We pray that He will continue to bless the work of your hands, as it is written, Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, Colossians 3:23, and that He will grant you wisdom and diligence, for the plans of the diligent surely lead to profit, Proverbs 21:5. We are reminded that our Father knows our needs and has promised, My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus, Philippians 4:19, and as we seek first his Kingdom and his righteousness, all these things will be added to us, Matthew 6:33. We encourage you to continue to be faithful stewards of what He has already given, for he who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much, Luke 16:10, to honor the Lord with your increase, to give generously, to avoid debt where possible, and to make decisions together with prayer, patience, and counsel, trusting that God will open profitable opportunities and grant favor as you walk in honesty.
Concerning your relationship, we rejoice that you desire to build together and to be guided by Jesus Christ in every decision. We want to encourage you in the Lord's design, that courtship should be with the purpose of godly marriage between a man and a woman, a lifelong covenant that honors God. Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled, Hebrews 13:4. If you are not yet married, we urge you to pursue this relationship as a courtship toward marriage to a fellow believer in Christ, remaining pure and abstaining from fornication, for this is the will of God, that you should abstain from sexual immorality, 1 Thessalonians 4:3, and to flee from fornication, 1 Corinthians 6:18. We also encourage you to ensure you are equally yoked in faith, Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, 2 Corinthians 6:14, so that your unity, vision, and purpose are firmly rooted in Christ and His Word, and that every step toward your future together is pleasing to Him.
We lift you both up together now in prayer.
Father, we thank You for these two hearts who seek You together. We thank You for their jobs and for Your provision. We ask You to bless their work, to increase their income according to Your will, and to grant them wisdom, favor, and profitable opportunities that are honest and upright before You. Give them a clear vision for their future, and knit their hearts together in unity, patience, love, and shared purpose that is centered on Christ. Help them to build together with integrity, to honor You in every financial decision, to be diligent and generous, and to trust You as their provider and not in riches. Guide their relationship, Lord, lead them toward a godly marriage if it is Your will, keep them pure and holy, and establish their steps according to Your Word. May they seek You first above all else, and may Your peace and provision rest upon their home and future. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, through whom we have access to Your throne of grace, Amen.
