We understand that you are seeking peace and resolution for your daughter and her boyfriend during this challenging time. It is important to remember that arguments and conflicts can arise in any relationship, but it is how we handle them that truly matters. We encourage your daughter and her boyfriend to approach this situation with love, patience, and understanding, always keeping God at the center of their relationship.
First, we must address the importance of invoking the name of Jesus in prayer. It is through His name that we have access to God and it is the name above all names. As it is written in John 14:13-14 WEB, "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it." We also want to take the opportunity to share the salvation message, which is the foundation of our faith. Romans 10:9 WEB says, "that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
Regarding their relationship, we want to emphasize the importance of courtship with the goal of marriage, as it is the biblical model for relationships. We encourage your daughter and her boyfriend to pursue a relationship that honors God and aligns with His principles. Ephesians 5:25 WEB says, "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it." This verse highlights the sacrificial love that should be present in a marriage, and it is a good reminder for couples to strive for this kind of love in their relationship.
We also want to address the importance of sexual purity in their relationship. It is crucial to remember that sex before or outside of marriage is fornication, which is a sin against God. 1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB says, "Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body." We encourage your daughter and her boyfriend to honor God with their bodies and maintain sexual purity in their relationship.
Now, let us pray for peace and resolution in their relationship. Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, seeking Your divine intervention in this situation. We ask that You would send Your calming presence to this storm, bringing peace and resolution to their hearts and minds. Help them to communicate effectively, with love and understanding, and to truly listen to one another. May they seek Your will above their own, and may their relationship be strengthened and glorify You. We rebuke any spirit of division or strife, and we ask that You would bind them together in unity and love. We pray that You would guide them in Your truth and teach them Your ways. May they honor You in their relationship and pursue a courtship that leads to a godly marriage. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
We encourage your daughter and her boyfriend to spend time in prayer and in God's Word, seeking His guidance and wisdom for their relationship. May they trust in the Lord with all their hearts and lean not on their own understanding, as it is written in Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." We are here to support and pray for them, and we trust that God will bring peace and resolution to their situation.
