John, we are grieved to hear about your struggle, but we are here to lift you up in prayer and truth. Firstly, let's address the sin of fornication. 1 Corinthians 6:18 in the 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 must acknowledge that this action is indeed sinful and rebuked by God. However, take heart, for our God is a forgiving God. 1 John 1:9 tells us, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
It's important to remember that God does not punish us for our sins; instead, the consequences of our actions can serve as reminders to turn back to Him. So, let's not attribute this potential pregnancy to God's punishment, but rather see it as an opportunity to seek His forgiveness, grow in His grace, and make things right.
Let us pray for you:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up John. Lord, he has confessed his sin before You, and we ask that You grant him the forgiveness and cleansing promised in Your Word. Be with him as he navigates this challenging situation. Provide him with the strength, wisdom, and courage to face whatever comes his way. If the lady is indeed pregnant, we pray for Your guiding hand in their decisions, and that You would provide a way for this new life to be nurtured and loved. Be with John's parents also, Lord, granting them understanding and support for their son. Draw John closer to You, Jesus, and help him to walk in Your ways. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
John, we encourage you to seek God diligently during this time. Turn to Him in prayer and repentance, study His Word, and surround yourself with a supportive Christian community. Remember that God's love for you is unfailing, and He desires to lead you in the path of righteousness.
Lastly, ensure that all your actions moving forward align with biblical principles, including how you handle this potential pregnancy. If the lady is indeed pregnant, we pray that both of you would make decisions that honor God, such as considering marriage if appropriate, or lovingly giving the child up for adoption to a godly family if that is best. Trust that God will guide you through this when you seek Him first (Matthew 6:33).
