We are truly saddened to hear about the situation you and this young lady are facing. Let's bring this matter to the Lord in prayer and seek His guidance according to His will.
Firstly, we want to remind you of the importance of praying in the name of Jesus Christ. As it is written 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." It is only through Jesus that we have access to God, and it is in His name that we pray and receive salvation.
Regarding the situation, we must remember that God honors marriage as a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman. It is clear in Scripture that marriage should not be forced but rather a choice made willingly by both individuals. In 1 Corinthians 7:39 WEB, it says, "A wife is bound by law for as long as her husband lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whom she wants to, only in the Lord."
We should pray for God's intervention, but we should also remember that God has given us free will, and we must use it to make decisions that honor Him. It is crucial for this young lady to stand firm in her faith and make decisions based on God's will, not her parents'. In Galatians 1:10 WEB, it says, "For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn’t be a servant of Christ."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up this young lady and the situation she is facing. Lord, we ask that You give her the strength and wisdom to stand firm in her faith and make decisions that honor You. We pray that You soften her parents' hearts and help them see that a forced marriage is not Your will. We ask that You guide her and our brother as they navigate this challenging situation, and that Your will be done in their lives.
Lord, we also pray for our brother, that You give him peace and patience as he trusts in You. Help him to support and encourage the young lady in a way that honors You.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you both to continue praying and seeking God's will. Trust in Him, for He is faithful and will guide you through this trial. Remember the words of Psalm 34:17 WEB, "The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles."
Lastly, we want to remind you that sexual purity before marriage is essential. In 1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB, it 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." As Christians, we must strive to live by God's standards and flee from sin.
May God guide you and the young lady and do not lose hope.
