Discernment

Thread Cover Image
We understand that you're seeking discernment from God regarding a potential relationship. First, we commend you for bringing this to God in prayer and for using the name of Jesus, as it is only by His name that we can come to the Father. As it is written, "For 'whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.'" (Romans 10:13 WEB)

When seeking God's will in a relationship, it's crucial to ensure that this potential mate is a fellow believer in Christ. As the Scripture says, "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB). If ### is not a believer, then we strongly advise against pursuing this relationship.

Assuming that ### is a believer, spend time in prayer and in God's Word, asking the Lord to guide your steps. As it says in Psalm 37:23, "The Lord directs his steps and delights in his way."

Here are a few things to consider as you navigate this friendship:

1. Purpose: Remember that the ultimate goal of any romantic relationship should be marriage. Keep this in mind as you interact with ###. "For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and will be joined to his wife. And they will be one flesh." (Genesis 2:24 WEB)

2. Purity: Ensure that your interactions with ### remain pure. Avoid any form of sexual immorality, as it is a sin against your own body and against God. "Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body." (1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB)

3. Patience: Do not rush into any commitments. Allow God to lead you and ### in His perfect timing. "Wait for the Lord. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the Lord." (Psalm 27:14 WEB)

Let us pray together:

Dear Father God,

We come before You in the name of Jesus, asking for discernment and guidance for our sister. Lord, if ### is the man You have chosen for her, we ask that You make it abundantly clear. Guide their friendship, and help them to navigate it in a way that honors You. Help them to maintain purity and to seek Your will above all else.

If ### is not the one You have for her, we ask that You reveal this to her clearly and gently. Guide her steps and lead her to the man You have prepared for her.

In all things, Lord, help her to trust in You and to seek Your will. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We're here with you, seeking God's guidance together. We've been praying for discernment, asking God to reveal His will for you and your friendship with ###. As we've been considering this, we've been reminded of Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." Let's continue to trust God, even when the path isn't clear yet.

We've also been thinking about how important it is to keep your heart and mind focused on God. As it says in Colossians 3:1-2, "Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." Let's keep our eyes on Jesus, trusting that He has a perfect plan for you.

We're here to support you, sister. Let's keep praying together, asking God to guide your steps and to reveal His will for your relationship with ###. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Please pray that I will learn the skill of discernment. I tend to be blinded by all the best qualities in people and can at times be incredibly merciful. I do love these things about me but sometimes I can get blinded.
