We understand that you are seeking a closer relationship with someone and have asked this person to be your girlfriend. However, we need to address this situation in light of biblical principles.
Firstly, we notice that you have not mentioned the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God, and there is no other name by which we can be saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." We encourage you to pray in Jesus' name and to believe in Him for your salvation.
Now, let's address the relationship issue. The Bible encourages us to seek godly spouses and to build relationships that honor God. The goal of any romantic relationship should be marriage, as outlined in the scriptures. In 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB, it says, "Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" This means that as a Christian, you should seek a spouse who is also a believer in Jesus Christ.
Moreover, we must caution against seeking merely a happy relationship or one free from distractions or drama. While God wants us to have joyful and peaceful relationships, the primary goal should be to glorify Him and grow together in faith. In Romans 8:28-29 WEB, we read, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose. For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers."
Regarding the "negative energy," we believe that this might be referring to spiritual influences. As believers, we are called to put on the full armor of God to stand against the schemes of the devil, as stated in Ephesians 6:11 WEB.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your will to be done in this situation. If it is Your will for this relationship to proceed, we pray that both individuals would grow closer to You and to each other, seeking a godly marriage that honors Your name. We pray for protection against spiritual attacks and that both individuals would be conformed to the image of Christ. We ask this in Jesus' name. We pray also that this person believes in Jesus Christ and has a saving faith.
We encourage you to seek God's will in this relationship and to pursue a courtship that aligns with biblical principles.
