Lyreymond, we are with you in spirit and in truth, lifting up your situation in prayer. We commend your steadfastness and forgiveness towards your girlfriend, even as we want to address some biblical principles for your relationship.
Firstly, we acknowledge the pain and trauma that your girlfriend has experienced. The Bible tells us that God is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. We pray that God will heal her wounds and bring her peace.
Psalm 34:18 WEB: Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a contrite spirit.
Secondly, we want to encourage you both to pursue a relationship that honors God. It is clear that you care deeply for her, and your forgiveness is commendable. However, the Bible teaches us that forgiveness does not mean we continue to subject ourselves to harmful behavior. We should forgive, but also seek wisdom and set boundaries. It is also important that you both are yoked in Christ, sharing the same faith and values.
2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB: Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?
Thirdly, we want to address the issue of purity in your relationship. You mentioned that she has had other males around her, and she was pregnant at an early age. We want to remind you both that sexual intimacy is a sacred gift meant for marriage. If you are not married, it is God's will that you abstain from sexual immorality.
1 Corinthians 7:2 WEB: But because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
Fourthly, we notice that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we have access to God. There is no other name by which we can be saved. We encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ if you have not already done so.
Acts 4:12 WEB: There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Lyreymond and his girlfriend. Lord, You are close to the brokenhearted, and we ask that You heal her from the trauma of her past. Give her peace and comfort. We also pray for Lyreymond, that You would grant him wisdom and discernment in this relationship. Help them to set boundaries and to pursue a relationship that honors You. If they are not already married, we pray that they would abstain from sexual immorality and pursue a godly marriage. Most importantly, we pray that they would put their faith in Jesus Christ, that they may be saved and have eternal life. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Finally, we want to encourage you to continue praying and seeking God's will for your relationship. Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB: 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.
