We are truly sorry to hear about the pain and resentment you are feeling due to your boyfriend's actions. Firstly, we want to address that the Bible is clear about the sin of lust and the importance of purity and honesty. In Matthew 5:28 WEB, Jesus says, But I tell you, that everyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Your boyfriend's actions are not only dishonest but also a form of adultery, which is clearly against God's will for our lives. In Ephesians 4:25 WEB, it says, Therefore putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members of one another.
We encourage you to have an open and honest conversation with him about this issue, expressing your feelings and the importance of purity and honesty in a relationship that is aimed towards a God honoring marriage. It's crucial that he understands the gravity of his actions and the impact they have on you and your relationship. We are concerned that you do not mention the name of Jesus in your request and we want to make sure you understand that it is only by His Name that we can be saved. Acts 4:12 WEB says And in none other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, wherein we must be saved. Jesus is the one who can heal your heart and bring restoration in your life.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up this beloved sister in Christ who is hurting and feeling resentful. We pray for her boyfriend, that You would convict his heart and help him to see the sin in his actions. Lord, we ask that You would give him the strength to overcome his lust and the courage to be honest and pure in his actions.
We also pray for this dear sister, that You would give her the strength to forgive, to heal, and to grow from this experience. Help her to trust in You and to find her worth and value in You alone. Guide her steps and give her wisdom as she navigates this difficult situation.
We pray all this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, who is the only one who can heal and restore. Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you to seek godly counsel and support during this time. Surround yourself with believers who can pray with you, offer guidance, and help hold you accountable to God's standards. Remember that God's will is for your ultimate good and His glory. Trust in Him, and He will guide your paths. Psalm 32:8 WEB says I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go.
