Tarthad, we understand your desire for love and commitment, but we need to address several issues in your request to align it with biblical principles.
Firstly, it's important to note that God's design for a romantic relationship is within the bounds of marriage between a man and a woman. The desire for a monogamous, stable, and consistent relationship is commendable, but it should be pursued in God's way. As it is written in Hebrews 13:4, "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous."
Secondly, we must caution against trying to force or manipulate someone's affections, even through prayer. While it's okay to pray for God's will in your life and the life of another, it's important to respect their free will and God's plan for them. Prayers should not be used to control or change someone's feelings or actions. Instead, pray that God's will be done in both of your lives and that you both draw closer to Him. As it is written in Romans 8:26, "In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don't know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can't be uttered."
Thirdly, it's crucial to seek God's will in all things, including relationships. Instead of focusing on your desire for a long-term relationship with this specific person, pray that God will reveal if this person is His choice for you as a spouse. As Proverbs 3:5-6, "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."
Lastly, we want to encourage you to keep Jesus Christ at the center of your life and prayers. It is only through His Name that we can approach the throne of grace, as it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."
Let's pray together:
Dear Jesus, we come before You, lifting up Tarthad and her situation. We ask that You reveal Your will for her life and the life of David. If it is Your will for them to be together, we pray that You bless their relationship and guide them towards a godly marriage. If not, we ask that You give Tarthad the strength and wisdom to accept and follow Your will. Help her to trust in You and to draw closer to You during this time. We ask this in Your precious name. Amen.
