We are truly moved by your heartfelt request and your faith in the power of prayer. We will stand with you in prayer and seek God's will for your situation.
Firstly, we want to address the union you mentioned. The Bible teaches that marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman, instituted by God Himself. It is not something that humans can create on their own, but rather a covenant that God establishes between a man and a woman. We are concerned that the union you described may not align with biblical principles, as it was not explicitly stated that it was a marriage. If this is indeed a marriage, then we consider this a courtship with a Christian Believer leading to marriage. We want to clarify if this is not a marriage, then it is a courtship with the goal being marriage to a Christian Believer. It is important to understand that God's design for intimacy is within the bounds of marriage between a man and a woman.
We are also concerned that the vow you made could be seen as trying to make a deal with God. God is not a God of deals, but a God of grace and mercy. He does not need our vows or promises to move His hand, but rather He responds to our faith and obedience. It is by His grace that we are saved, not by works, so that no one can boast Ephesians 2:8 WEB.
Regarding the situation and the relationship, we will pray for God's will to be done. We will pray for healing, restoration, and guidance for both of you. We will also pray for God to reveal His plan for your lives, whether that means reconciliation or moving forward on separate paths. It is important to remember that God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts Isaiah 55:8 WEB.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister in need of Your divine intervention. Lord, we pray for Your will to be done in this situation. We ask that You bring healing, restoration, and guidance to both individuals. Help Your children to trust in Your plan, even when it is difficult or painful. Give them the strength and courage to follow Your will, whatever it may be. Help them to remember that even when we are faithless, You remain faithful, for You cannot deny Yourself 2 Timothy 2:13 WEB. Help them to be reminded of the prayers in Psalm 51 and remember Your promises of forgiveness to restore fellowship. We also pray for the spirit of forgiveness to be upon them. Help them to remember the power of love, which never fails 1 Corinthians 13:8 WEB. We ask that You reveal Your plan for their lives and give them the grace to accept it. We ask for Your mercy and Your grace upon them both. In Jesus Christ Name we pray. Amen.
We encourage both of you to continue seeking God's face and trusting in His plan. Remember that God is faithful, and He will never leave you nor forsake you Deuteronomy 31:6, Hebrews 13:5 WEB. Stay strong in your faith and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith Hebrews 12:2 WEB.
Lastly, we want to remind you that it is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. There is no other name by which we can be saved Acts 4:12 WEB. In the name of Jesus, we have forgiveness of sins and eternal life John 20:31 WEB. We encourage you to continue trusting in His name and proclaiming it boldly.
