Long distance relationship

[Faeloroishaw]

I had just asked for pray about this but I feel like I should add more detail... I am pretty young and I know a lot of people doubt me when I say this but Im going to marry my boyfriend. God has put this into my heart and soul and into his as well. When we first met I felt as if I had known him forever we were automatically connected but despite that and despite us being in line with everything I still wasn't sure about him till God came to me through someone laying hands on me. I hadn't told anybody about us talk yet and they told me that God had put it in their heart that there was someone I was unsure about but he is the one. So I told him and we talked about how before dating our intentions are for marraige. We started to date but he hadent gotten conformation like I had till about 2 months in when God came to him in a dream. I love him so much and I know he's who I'm supposed to be with and my heart aches when he's not with me... but sometimes I get a selfish thought that if we broke up it would save us both the heart ache. In the end we both cant let go of eachother even that though kills us and we end up crying about it. It's very difficult and because this is both of our first and only relationships its hard. Its hard to be away from eachother and we both have busy schedules. I really need guidance and I've pray and we've prayed together on how not to feel so broken when we cant be with eachother. We try and do our best but I feel like God isn't answering me. This might be a season I just have to wait out but because of us being young we can decide when we can see eachother. My parent support us fully when his don't know at all. He's not allowed to talk to anyone until he lives on his own we both feel horrible about going behind his parents back but are scared of the consequences that might come. A lot of people talk about how some Pastors are really harsh well his parent are Pastors but they are not just "harsh" they are abusive. Sometimes his Dad beats him till his nose bleeds but they try to only hit him where people cant see. He also doesn't want to tell the state on them because they are his Grandparents. His Grandparents became his parents because his Mom ran away at 14 and had him at 16 so his Grandparents took him and his Mom left. We are scared well mostly me that if he tells his parents that his Dad not meaning to might get so mad that he could accidently hurt him to the point of being in the hospital.(also keep in mind my boyfriend had his gallbladder and a foot of his intestines removed when he was younger and his Dad got mad at him for not picking up his room when they got discharged and picked him in the stomach about ripping his stitches). We dotn want to end our relationship but are scared of his parents. Im not sure what to do is it wrong of us disobeying his parents and keeping this from them? Is it ok to keep going because we fully heartedly know we are meant for eachother? Please recommed scripture and keep praying! I've been praying but I feel like I need help from others! Thank you..

Faeloroishaw, thank you for sharing your heart and situation with us. We appreciate your openness and desire for godly counsel and prayer. We are reminded of Romans 8:28, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." Trust that God is working in your situation, even if it feels challenging right now.

Firstly, we commend your commitment to marry and the seriousness with which you both view this relationship. Marriage is a sacred covenant instituted by God, as described in Matthew 19:4-6, "He answered, 'Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall join to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh? So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.'"

However, we must address a few concerns. First, you mentioned that you are young and this is both of your first and only relationships. It is wise to seek God's will and ensure that this relationship aligns with His plan for your lives. Remember, 2 Corinthians 6:14 warns, "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?" Ensure that both of you are firmly rooted in your faith and that your relationship is centered around Christ.

Secondly, you mentioned that you are in a long-distance relationship and experiencing heartache when you are apart. This is normal, but it is also an opportunity to trust in God's timing and plan. Remember the words of Psalm 37:4-5, "Delight yourself in Yahweh; and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh; trust also in him, and he will bring it to pass."

Thirdly, you mentioned that his parents are abusive and that you are both scared of their reaction if they find out about your relationship. This is a serious matter, and it is important to seek wisdom and safety. Remember, Ephesians 6:1-3 says, "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with a promise, that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth." However, this does not mean that you should stay in a situation that is harmful. If there is physical abuse, it is important to seek help and safety. You also mentioned that he does not want to report his parents because they are his grandparents. While it is commendable to want to protect family, it is also important to protect yourself and seek justice. Remember, Romans 13:1-4 teaches that God has instituted governing authorities to punish wrongdoers and protect the innocent.

Lastly, you mentioned that you have been praying, but you feel like God is not answering. Remember, God answers prayers in His own time and way. Keep praying and trusting in His plan. As it says in Philippians 4:6-7, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." It is not wrong to keep going in your relationship if you fully know that you are meant for each other, but it is important to seek God's will and ensure that your relationship aligns with His plan.

We also noticed that you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer request. We want to remind you that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it says in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." And in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up ### and her boyfriend. We ask that You guide them in Your will and give them the wisdom and strength to navigate their relationship and the challenges they are facing.

Lord, we pray for healing and protection for her boyfriend as he deals with the abuse from his parents. We ask that You intervene in this situation and provide a way for him to be safe and free from harm.

We also pray for their relationship, Lord. We ask that You guide them in Your will and help them to trust in Your timing and plan. We pray that You give them the strength to endure the heartache of being apart and that You use this time to draw them closer to You.

Lastly, Lord, we pray that You reveal Yourself to them in a real and personal way. We ask that You open their hearts to the truth of the gospel and that they come to know You as their Lord and Savior.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We continue to lift you both up in our prayers, dear sister in Christ. We are truly honored that you have shared your journey with us and have given us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that you have asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer for your relationship and the challenges you both are facing.

If God has answered your prayers and given you both clarity and strength, we would love for you to share a praise report with us. Your testimony could be a great encouragement to others in our community who are also seeking God's will in their relationships.

If you feel that your request has not been answered yet, or if you both are still struggling, please do not hesitate to post an update or a new request. We want you to know that you are not alone, and we are here to continue praying with you and for you.

In the meantime, we encourage you to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author, and perfecter of our faith. Remember the words of Paul in Romans 8:28, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Trust that God is working in your lives and that He has a plan for you both.

Also, consider the words of Ephesians 6:1-3, "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 'Honor your father and mother'—which is the first commandment with a promise—'so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.'" God wants you to honor you parent, but also remember Psalm 27:10 "Even if my father and mother abandon me, the LORD will hold me close." God can redeem any situation, and He can make a way where there seems to be no way.

May God bless you both as you continue to seek Him through His son, Jesus Christ. We pray that He will give you both wisdom, discernment, and a deep sense of His love and peace as you navigate this season of your lives. May your relationship grow stronger as you grow closer to Him. We ask all of this in Jesus' name. Amen.
