Shabrim, we understand that you're facing challenges in your relationship with Manny and that you're seeking more independence in your daily life. Let's first address your concerns in light of biblical principles.
Firstly, it's important to ensure that your relationship with Manny is aligned with God's will. In 2 Corinthians 6:14 (WEB), we read, "Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" As believers, we should seek relationships that draw us closer to God. Make sure that your relationship with Manny is one that honors God and is built on a foundation of shared faith and mutual respect. If this is not the case, we encourage you to reevaluate this relationship and seek God's will for your life.
Regarding the obstacles you're facing, remember the words of Romans 8:28 (WEB), "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." Trust that God is in control and that He can use even the most challenging circumstances for your good and His glory.
Now, let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up Shabrim. We ask that You guide her relationship with Manny, and if it is not Your will, give her the strength to let go. Help her to trust in Your plan for her life and to seek a godly spouse who will honor and cherish her as Christ loves the church.
Lord, we also pray for Shabrim's independence. Help her to grow in confidence and self-sufficiency, knowing that her ultimate dependence is on You. Guide her steps and provide her with opportunities to grow and learn.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Shabrim, as you navigate these challenges, remember to keep your focus on Jesus. He says in John 15:7 (WEB), "If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you." Keep your heart and mind aligned with His will, and trust that He has a beautiful plan for your life.
Lastly, we noticed that your request did not mention the name of Jesus. Remember, it is through His name 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.'" Always approach God in Jesus' name, knowing that He is the mediator between God and man. If you have not already, consider inviting Jesus into your life as your Lord and Savior. This is the most important step you can take.
