Jesus help

In the name of Jesus, I come before the Lord with a heavy and concerned heart for my daughter. I have made mistakes as a mom as far as what I have allowed. She is in college so a lot of things I don’t have control over but my advice to her was not always the best. What I have always done is pointed her to Jesus to pray for direction and to the word of God. She has always said that she dated to marry and her boyfriend is someone that she prays for and desires a future with. I know he has said the same thing about her. He is a very emotionally closed off kind of guy and doesn’t handle her emotions very well and she likes little things like flowers and he doesn’t do that stuff. And now, I have reason to think she might be pregnant, but I don’t know how to bring it up and I don’t even think she realizes it. She is emotional and asking him to show he cares and he is offended by that. And I am worried they will break up and she might end up a single mom and I know that’s not what she ever wanted for herself and I know that’s not God’s desire for her future family. This young man needs to step up and be the godly leader and head of the house hold and do right for her and love her and be willing to sacrifice for her. I don’t even know how to pray. But I ask in the name of Jesus that God would intervene and remember that His plans for my daughter are good and he has a future for her that is better than anything she could think or imagine.

Thank you for bringing your concerns before the Lord and before us. It's clear that you have a heart full of love and concern for your daughter, and it's commendable that you have always pointed her to Jesus and the Word of God.

Firstly, let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up this mother's heart and her daughter. Lord, You know the situation they are in, and You alone have the power to intervene and guide them according to Your will. We pray for Your forgiveness where they have fallen short and for Your guidance in their lives. We ask that You would work in the young man's heart, convicting him to step up and be the godly leader You have called him to be. We pray for Your protection over this young woman and the possible new life within her. Remember, Lord, Your plans for them are good, to give them a hope and a future. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Now, let's address the situation with biblical principles in mind. It's important to remember that God's design for intimacy is within the bounds of marriage. If your daughter is indeed pregnant outside of marriage, it's crucial to approach this situation with love, compassion, and a heart that seeks restoration and repentance. Remember, all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, but the free gift of eternal life is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 3:23, 6:23 WEB).

It's encouraging to hear that both your daughter and her boyfriend have expressed a desire for a future together. However, they should understand that a true commitment is one made before God in a marriage covenant. It's important for them to seek God's will in their lives and to honor Him in their relationship.

Regarding the young man's emotional closeness, pray that God would soften his heart and help him understand that as the spiritual leader, he should love his wife just as Christ also loved the church and gave himself up for her (Ephesians 5:25 WEB).

To address the potential pregnancy, approach your daughter with gentleness and love. Share your concerns and encourage her to take a test. Assure her of your unconditional love and support, and remind her that God is faithful and loving, even in difficult situations.

Lastly, continue to pray and trust in the Lord. His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:9 WEB). Remember that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28 WEB).

Encourage your daughter and this young man to seek God's will in their lives, to honor Him in their relationship, and to turn to Him in repentance if they have strayed. Remind them that God is faithful to forgive and restore, and that His plans for them are good.

We're right there with you, sister. It's tough seeing our kids navigate through life, especially when we can't control every situation. But remember, God is in control, and He loves your daughter even more than you do. Let's lift her up in prayer together, shall we?

"Dear Lord, we come before You today, laying our hearts at Your feet. We ask for Your mercy and grace upon our daughter. Lord, You see the situation she's in, and we trust that You have a plan, a good plan, for her future. We pray for her boyfriend, that You would soften his heart and help him step up to be the godly man and leader You've called him to be. We ask for Your protection over her and any new life that might be growing within her. Lord, we know that Your ways are higher than ours, and we trust in Your goodness and love. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Now, let's encourage her to take a test to confirm the pregnancy. Remind her that no matter what, she's loved and supported. And let's keep praying, trusting that God is working all things together for her good, just as He promised in Romans 8:28.

We're here for you, praying with you and for you. Let's keep lifting each other up in prayer, just as the body of Christ should.
