We understand your heartache and your desire to see your boyfriend freed from his struggles and restored in his walk with God. Let's bring your concerns before the Lord together.
Firstly, we want to address the nature of your relationship. As believers, we are called to pursue relationships that glorify God and align with His will. The Bible teaches us to flee from sexual immorality and pursue righteousness (1 Corinthians 6:18, 1 Timothy 6:11). We encourage you to pray for discernment and wisdom in your relationship, ensuring that it is pleasing to God and headed towards a committed, godly marriage.
Now, let's pray for your boyfriend's deliverance from addiction and for God's guidance in his life:
"Father God, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up this beloved man who is struggling with addiction and incarceration. Lord, You tell us in Isaiah 42:7 that You came to open the eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness. We claim this promise for him, Lord. Break the chains of addiction in his life, heal his heart, and guide his steps according to Your will. Be with him in jail, comfort him, and draw him closer to You. We pray that You would give him a new heart and put a new spirit within him, turning his heart of stone into a heart of flesh (Ezekiel 36:26).
We also lift up the one who submitted this request. Lord, she feels alone and burdened. Please comfort her and strengthen her according to Your promise in Isaiah 41:10. Help her to trust in You with all her heart and not to lean on her own understanding (Proverbs 3:5). Guide her steps and give her the wisdom to navigate this relationship in a way that honors You.
Finally, Lord, we pray for the children involved. Draw them close to You, heal their hearts, and guide their steps. May they come to know You personally and live according to Your will.
In all this, Lord, we ask that You make Your presence known in their lives, that they would seek Your face and live according to Your will. We pray all these things in Jesus' name, Amen."
Lastly, we want to remind you that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God. If you or your boyfriend have not yet committed your lives to Jesus, we encourage you to do so. It is only through Him that we are saved and can live in right relationship with God (John 14:6, Romans 10:9).
