We are truly sorry to hear about the pain and heartache you are experiencing, Lynnie. It's important to remember that God sees your suffering and cares deeply for you. In times like these, we must turn to Him for comfort and guidance.
Firstly, we need to address the nature of your relationship. The Bible teaches us to flee sexual immorality and that the marriage bed should be undefiled. It is important that you are seeking a spouse and not just a boyfriend. If you are involved sexually with him, then this is fornication and needs to be confessed to God immediately and stopped.
Your boyfriend has been dishonest and disrespectful, which the Bible clearly warns against. Scripture tells us, "Putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members of one another" (Ephesians 4:25 WEB). Lying and deceit are not characteristics of a godly relationship. Proverbs 6:16-19 tells us that God despises a lying tongue and hands that shed innocent blood. God desires honesty and integrity in our relationships.
It's crucial to seek God's will in this situation. Pray for discernment and wisdom. God promises, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him" (James 1:5 WEB). Ask God to reveal His plan for your life and to guide you in the right direction.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up Lynnie in her time of need. Lord, she is heartbroken and hurting, and we ask for Your healing touch upon her life. Help her to find comfort and peace in Your presence.
Father, we pray for discernment and wisdom for Lynnie. Reveal to her Your will for her life and guide her in the path You have set before her. Help her to seek a godly spouse who will honor and cherish her as You intend.
If she is involved in fornication, then reveal this to her and help her to stop and confess this sin to you. If her boyfriend is not a child of God, or is a new convert and should not be considering marriage, then help her to see that it is wrong to be unequally yoked. If she is not saved, then reveal to her that this is the most important decision to make.
Lord, we pray for Lynnie's boyfriend, that You would convict his heart and bring him to true repentance. Help him to see the error of his ways and to turn from his sin. We pray that he would seek Your forgiveness and the forgiveness of those he has wronged.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray for healing, restoration, and guidance. Help Lynnie to trust in You and to follow Your will for her life.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lynnie, remember that God loves you and has a plan for your life. Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths. Be strong and courageous. God will never leave you nor forsake you.
If you have not yet accepted Jesus Christ as Lord of your life, then this is the most important decision to make.
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 WEB
