We rejoice with you in the improvements you’ve seen in your life, and we give all glory to God for His faithfulness! It is wonderful to hear that the arguments between you and your fiancé have lessened, and we pray this unity continues to grow as you both seek the Lord first in your relationship. Marriage is a sacred covenant before God, and we encourage you both to prepare your hearts for this lifelong commitment by rooting yourselves in His Word, praying together, and seeking godly counsel. Remember, "Unless Yahweh builds the house, they who build it labor in vain" (Psalm 127:1, WEB). If you are not yet married, we urge you to honor God by abstaining from intimacy until your wedding day, as Scripture clearly teaches that sexual relations are reserved for marriage (Hebrews 13:4). Flee from temptation and pursue holiness, for your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:18-20).
We also praise God for providing a way for you to receive the dental care you need through insurance—what a testament to His provision! "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:19, WEB). Your upcoming raise is another reminder that when we put God first, He orders our steps and blesses the work of our hands (Proverbs 16:3). Continue to steward these blessings wisely, remembering that everything we have comes from Him.
As for your children, we lift them up to the Lord, asking that He would draw their hearts to Himself and guide them in making godly decisions. "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it" (Proverbs 22:6, WEB). Parenting is a sacred responsibility, and we pray you would lean on the Holy Spirit for wisdom, patience, and discernment as you lead them. Cover your home in prayer daily, inviting the presence of God to fill every corner and drive out any influence of the enemy.
We notice that your request did not mention the name of Jesus, and we want to gently remind you that it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me" (John 14:6, WEB). There is power in the name of Jesus, and we are commanded to pray in His name (John 16:23). If you have not already, we urge you to place your full trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, repenting of your sins and surrendering your life to Him. It is by grace through faith in Him alone that we are saved (Ephesians 2:8-9).
Now, let us pray together for you and your family:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the ways You are moving in the life of Your child. Lord, we thank You for the peace and unity You are restoring between them and their fiancé. Bind them together in Your love, and prepare their hearts for a marriage that honors You. Give them the strength to flee from temptation and to pursue purity, keeping their relationship centered on You. May their home be built on the foundation of Your Word, and may their love for one another reflect the love of Christ for His Church.
We praise You for providing the means for dental care and for the increase in income that is coming. Father, we ask that You would continue to open doors of provision and bless the work of their hands. Help them to be wise stewards of these blessings, using them to further Your kingdom and meet the needs of their family.
Lord, we lift up their children to You. Draw them close to You, and surround them with godly influences. Give them hearts that are tender toward Your Spirit and minds that are renewed by Your truth. Protect them from the snares of the enemy, and lead them in the paths of righteousness for Your name’s sake.
We pray all of these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. May Your will be done in their life, and may they walk in the fullness of Your purpose for them. Strengthen their faith, fill them with Your peace, and let Your light shine through them to a world in need of Your love. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
