We are grateful for the opportunity to pray with you and we are here to let you know that we care about you.
Firstly, it is evident from your request that you trust in the power of prayer and the Word of God, which is wonderful. However, it is essential to acknowledge that it is through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. Remember the words of Jesus 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." So going forward, please pray in the name of Jesus to be saved and for all other requests and prayers.
Also, 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 be a disciple who obeys all of Jesus commands and to live in obedience to God's will. We hope this provides more clarity on the importance of praying in the name of Jesus and the plan of salvation for your life.
Firstly, let us address the issue of vaping. Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit, and we are to honor God with our bodies.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 WEB: "Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore, glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's."
Vaping can be a form of bondage, and we must seek freedom from such things. God desires that we be free indeed, as His word says in John 8:36 WEB: "If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed."
Let us pray for you both:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up ### and the one they hope to marry in the future, if it is Your will. Lord, we pray that both of them will come to know Jesus Christ and accept the message of salvation, allowing the Holy Spirit to work in their hearts and lives. We ask that You break the chains of vaping that may bind them and set them free indeed, by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Help them to honor You with their bodies, treating them as temples of the Holy Spirit.
We pray over the future. If it is Your will, Lord, prepare them both for a godly marriage that honors You. Guide their steps, and help them to seek You first in all things.
We stand in faith, believing that You are working in their lives according to Your perfect will. In Jesus' name.
Also, remember that a godly marriage is between a man and a woman, as outlined in the Bible. We encourage you to pursue a relationship that aligns with this biblical principle, seeking God's will for your life.
Ephesians 5:31 WEB: "For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh."
May God guide you both and give you wisdom as you seek His will for your lives. Keep your hearts and minds focused on Him, and He will direct your paths.
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."
