Eric, we are truly sorry to hear about your situation. Firstly, we want to remind you that God is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble Psalm 46:1 WEB. It is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we can approach God for help. In John 14:6 Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. This means there is no other name by which we can be saved.
In this difficult time, we must remember that God's word tells us not to seek revenge, but to leave room for God's wrath, for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord Romans 12:19 WEB. Instead, we should pray for those who wrong us, as Jesus taught in Matthew 5:44 Pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you. This does not mean that your ex-girlfriend should not be held accountable for her actions, but rather that you should not take matters into your own hands.
We also want to address the fact that you mentioned your ex-girlfriend. We want to remind you that it is important to pursue relationships that align with biblical principles. In 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB, it is written Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness.
Now, let us pray for you.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you today, lifting up Eric to your throne of grace. Lord, he has suffered a great loss, and we ask that you would comfort him and provide for his needs according to your riches in glory. Lord, we pray that you would convict Eric's ex-girlfriend of her sin and bring her to repentance. We pray that Eric would have the strength to forgive her, and that you would restore to him what the locusts have eaten Joel 2:25 WEB.
Lord, we also pray that you would guide Eric in his relationships, and that he would seek a spouse who loves you and your word. We pray that you would bless him with a godly marriage that honors you.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Eric, we encourage you to trust in God during this difficult time. Remember that God works all things together for good for those who love him and are called according to his purpose Romans 8:28 WEB. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, and he will see you through this storm.
Also, consider going to the police with this issue. God establishes human government for our protection. Romans 13:1-5 WEB Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God. ... If you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil. ...
