We understand your concern for your son Cade and Laura, and we join you in seeking God's will for their relationship. In all circumstances, it's crucial to align our desires with God's intentions, and His design for relationships is clear in the Bible. Let us share some scriptures and pray together for them.
Firstly, we should remind them of the importance of forgiveness and understanding, as Ephesians 4:32 (WEB) says, "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."
However, we must also address that the term "girlfriend" suggests a relationship that may not be within the bounds of God's design for courtship leading to marriage. We encourage Cade and Laura to consider their relationship in light of biblical principles, seeking purity and holiness in their interactions. As 1 Corinthians 6:18 (WEB) warns, "Flee sexual immorality! Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but whoever commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up Cade and Laura. Lord, we ask for Your will to be done in their lives and in their relationship. If it is Your desire for them to work through their issues, we pray that You soften their hearts and strengthen their love, a love that is pure and holy, reflecting Your love for us.
Help them to forgive each other, just as You have forgiven us through Jesus Christ. Guide them in their conversation tonight, grant them wisdom, comfort, and strength. Most importantly, Lord, draw them closer to You, and help them to seek Your face above all else.
We pray this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, through whom we have access to You, Father. It is in His name that we are saved, and there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12, WEB).
Amen.
