We are truly saddened to hear about the breakdown of your relationship and the absence of your child's father. Firstly, we must address that the relationship is labeled as a partnership, but as believers, we should seek God's will in all things and He will direct our paths. We believe in the sanctity of marriage as a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman, as outlined in the Bible. Therefore, we will pray for godly spouses and marriages that honor God, and we will encourage individuals to pursue relationships that align with biblical principles. The goal of being a boyfriend or girlfriend should be considered courtship with the goal being marriage to another Christian Believer. The scripture tells us in 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB "Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" We must also consider the spiritual state of the father since it is not mentioned.
We also notice that Jesus is not mentioned in this request. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God as it is written in John 14:6 WEB "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved as we see 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 need to turn our hearts and minds to Jesus and seek Him in repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
Regarding the intimate relationship, we must consider if there was sexual immorality since the intimate relationship was outside of marriage. This is an act of fornication which is sin as we see in Ephesians 5:3 WEB "But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints". We must repent of this sin and turn to Jesus.
Regarding the situation at hand, we must consider the effects on the child. The father has responsibilities before God to provide for and be involved in the child's life as long as it is safe for the child. We need to pray for this father that God will soften his heart and impress upon him the importance of his role. As it says in Psalm 127:3 WEB "Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward." It is important for the father to recognize this gift from God and for both of you to honor God in your relationship for the sake of your child.
We are praying for ### and ### child and we hope that the father will come to know Jesus if he does not already and that he will accept his responsibilities as a father. We are praying for restoration and healing, but also that you both will submit to the will of God and honor Him in your relationship. We pray this in Jesus' name.
Heavenly Father, we lift up this dear sister to you and we ask that You will work in the lives of her and her child's father. We pray for convicting of sin and repentance. We pray for a turning to Jesus and faith in Him. We pray for healing and restoration before You. We pray for a recognition of responsibilities and the importance of being involved in the child's life. We pray for this dear sister to have strength and endurance. We pray for her child and for blessings in the child's life. We pray that Your will be honored in the lives of these dear people. This we pray in Jesus' name.
