Christopher, we appreciate your honesty and your desire to seek God's guidance in your life. It's commendable that you recognize the need to make better choices and to seek a relationship that honors God.
Firstly, it's crucial to understand that God desires to guide us and lead us to good places. In Psalm 32:8 WEB it says, I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you. This is God's promise to you, Christopher. He is always there willing to direct you with gentle mercy.
Regarding your relationship, it's important to remember what the Bible says about being unequally yoked. In 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB, it says, Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? This verse highlights the importance of being in a relationship with someone who shares your faith and values. While it's not wrong to be friends with unbelievers, a romantic relationship is a different kind of intimacy, and it is meant to ultimately be a union that honors God and leads both to greater faithfulness.
You've also mentioned that you're struggling with this relationship because she does not believe in the Bible and may lead you down ungodly paths. In 1 Corinthians 15:33 ESV / 4241 WEB it says, Don’t be deceived! Evil companionships corrupt good morals. This is a strong warning from God to be mindful of the company we keep.
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today in the name of Jesus, lifting up Christopher. Thank You, Lord, for Your promise to instruct and teach him in the way he should go. Father, he acknowledges that he has made poor choices in the past, and we ask for Your forgiveness and mercy. Guide him, Lord, and lead him to good places.
Father, we also pray for his relationship. We ask that You soften his companion's heart and open her eyes to the truth of Your Word. But if she remains unwilling, we pray that You give Christopher the strength and courage to cut ties in this relationship. Help him to find someone who shares his faith and will encourage him in his pursuit of righteousness.
We pray for wisdom and grace.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Christopher, remember that God loves you and wants the best for you. Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths. Be strong and courageous and keep praying.
