We join you in prayer, Taylundy, seeking God's will for your situation.
Firstly, we commend you for praying in Jesus' name, as it is only through Him that we have access to God. 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."
We pray that you and Derrick communicate openly and honestly, as it is important for any relationship to have a firm foundation of understanding and trust. Remember what is says in Colossians 3:14-15 WEB: "But above all these things, walk in love, for love is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful."
However, we must also address the nature of your relationship with Derrick. The Bible teaches that we should be focused on relationships that are towards marriage. Dating is to be courtship, a time to evaluate if this relationship is godly and if you two are compatible for marriage. We hope this is the relationship that you are pursuing with Derrick. We must also discuss that if any fornication, sexual immorality, or adultery is present, it must be addressed and repented from. As it says in Hebrews 13:4 WEB: "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled: but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers."
Concerning your financial needs, we pray that God will provide for you and your children abundantly. We claim God's promise in Matthew 6:31-33 WEB: "Therefore don't be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."
Finally, we encourage you to continue trusting in God's loving care and guidance. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up Taylundy and her family. Lord, we pray for clear communication and understanding between Taylundy and Derrick. We pray for the courtship relationship to be be good and godly. If there is anything that is causing issues, we ask that you convict them and change them. We pray for an end to any frustration or upset, and for patience and love to be restored between them. We ask that You meet Taylundy's financial needs according to Your riches in glory, and that You bless her hard work. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
