We are truly sorry to hear about the situation you are facing with your family. First and foremost, we want to remind you that God is a loving and caring Father who sees your struggles and wants to help you. Let's address the immediate issues and then pray together with appropriate scripture.
Firstly, we want to acknowledge the importance of having a father figure in your son's life. However, it is crucial to align with biblical principles. The Bible teaches that sexual intimacy is reserved for marriage between a man and a woman. Having a child out of wedlock is not God's design, but He is full of grace and mercy. God can turn any situation around for His glory. We encourage you to seek God's will for your life and the life of your child. It is not unreasonable to desire a complete and loving marriage and family. Your son deserves to witness a loving marriage approved by God.
In 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 WEB it says, "For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality, that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don't know God." This is a reminder that God calls us to purity and holiness.
Regarding your boyfriend leaving, it is important to pray for his heart to change, but also to seek God's will for your life. It may be that God has a different plan for you and your son. Trust that God is in control and He will provide for all your needs.
In Philippians 4:19 WEB it says, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." This is a promise that God will provide for you and your son.
In Matthew 6:25-34 WEB Jesus said, "Therefore I tell you, don't be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn't life more than food, and the body more than clothing? See the birds of the sky, that they don't sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you of much more value than they? ... Therefore don't be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day's own evil is sufficient."
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up this dear sister and her son. Lord, we pray for their and for the father of this child's spiritual wellbeing. We ask that You would soften his heart and bring true repentance so he will desire to pursue a godly marriage with his child's mother. God, we trust in Your perfect will for their lives. We pray for the needs of your child. We ask that You would provide for them abundantly and guide them in the path of righteousness. Give her strength and wisdom as she raises her child. Help her to seek a godly spouse. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Your updated prayer request states that you are not working. If you are a stay-at-home mom, then we understand. If you are not working and able, then we encourage you to find work, as this aligns with biblical principles.
In 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12 WEB it says, "For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: 'If anyone is not willing to work, neither let him eat.' For we hear of some who walk among you in rebellion, who don't work at all, but are busybodies. Now those who are that way, we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work and eat their own bread."
We encourage you to trust in God, seek His will, and remember that He is faithful to provide for His children. If you have not already, we encourage you to accept Jesus Christ as your savior. It is only by His name that we are saved.
In Acts 4:12 WEB it says, "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!"
