We understand that you are seeking prayer for a marital settlement and the full restoration of your relationship, with the hope of getting engaged this year. We will pray with you, but we must also address some biblical principles related to your request.
Firstly, we want to remind you of what the Bible says about relationships and marriage. In Matthew 19:6 (WEB), Jesus says, "So they are no more two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, don't let man tear apart." Marriage is a sacred union designed by God, and it should not be entered into lightly or rushed.
However, we notice that your request mentions engagement and not marriage. While engagement can be a exciting step, it is important to ensure that your relationship is built on a solid foundation of faith and mutual respect, and that it aligns with biblical principles. In 2 Corinthians 6:14 (WEB), it is written, "Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?" As Christians, we should seek to be equally yoked in our relationships, meaning that both parties should share a strong faith in Jesus Christ.
Speaking of Jesus, we noticed that your request does not mention His name. We want to remind you that it is only through Jesus that we have access to God. In John 14:6 (WEB), Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." Therefore, we encourage you to put your trust in Jesus and to seek His will for your relationship.
Now, let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today to lift up Irezar. Lord, we pray for wisdom and discernment in this relationship. We ask that Your will be done and that You guide every step of this journey. If it is Your plan for this relationship to be restored and lead to marriage, we pray that You make it clear and strengthen their bond. However, if this is not Your will, we ask that You give Irezar the strength to accept and follow Your path.
We also pray that both individuals in this relationship are truly saved and believe in Jesus Christ. We ask that You draw them closer to You and help them to grow in their faith.
In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you to continue to seek God's will in this matter. Trust in Him and His timing, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB).
