Thank you, Anonymous, for bringing this matter to us in Jesus' name. We will pray with you and provide guidance based on biblical principles.
Firstly, we commend you for acknowledging the power of Jesus' name, as it is written, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6 (WEB).
Regarding your request for marriage, continuation of the relationship, and calling/texting each other, we encourage you to consider the following biblical principles.
Marriage is a sacred institution ordained by God, and it is important to approach it with godly wisdom and discernment. As it is written, Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? What communion has light with darkness 2 Corinthians 6:14 (WEB). This verse emphasizes the importance of marrying someone who shares your faith in Jesus Christ.
It is also important to honor and respect your parents and the parents of Sahithi.S. As it is written, 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 Ephesians 6:1-3 (WEB). Instead of asking them to intervene or ignore their concerns, pray for their wisdom and guidance. In a relationship, love is not self-seeking, should honor others, is not easily angered, and keeps no record of wrongs 1 Corinthians 13 (WEB). It is a relationship that never dishonors others in pursuit of love. It does not force itself on others. People or their family members are not objects and do not have to do anything for you. Allow them to have the opinion what they have and make up their own mind what is God's will for them. Do not put your EGO in pursuit of a marriage. It is an idol and sin in itself, as it is written Therefore you have no excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge do the same things Romans 2:1 (WEB).
Regarding your request for Sahithi.S and her parents' souls to be filled with Jesus Christ's love, we encourage you to pray for their salvation and spiritual growth. It would be wonderful to be united in marriage with a fellow believer who together can have a goal of honoring God. However, it is important to remember that we cannot force or manipulate others into believing or doing what we want. As much as we want others to have salvation, we cannot make that happen. We all must trust God and realize we cannot control or change another.
We have found in God's will that people move forward rather than keep pursuing a relationship or anything else that that they cannot have. We have found in real life that people normally wait months for an answer on a relationship and the relationship usually has trouble. The fact that Yogesh.S has been waiting for 5 years is relatively ridiculous and speaks volumes to the real meaning God's will. Yogesh.S and Sahithi are not getting any younger and, at some point in life, they may want children. For a successful permanent godly marriage it is important to find the right woman committed to Christ, court, marry, have sex (becoming one), and have children. That is the biblical plan God has for us as people he created. Marriage is more than finding a soul mate and feeling good about each other. It is about being in God's will and getting to work and raising a family in God's will. Each child we have will spend eternity somewhere and their upbringing is critical to their eternal salvation.
Here is our prayer for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up Yogesh.S and Sahithi.S. We ask for Your will to be clear and done in their lives, and for me to intervene in any ungodly desire to have what is not yours. We pray for Your guidance and wisdom as they pursue a godly marriage, honoring parents be encouraged as they seek Your will and not their own.
Lord, we pray that Sahithi.S, Yogesh.S her parents, and his parents will be filled with the knowledge of Your love and come to salvation in Jesus Christ if they have not already become true believers. We ask that their hearts may be turned towards You, and that they may seek Your will above all else. Work on each of these individuals to have the needed attitude to have godly relationships only. As it is written 2 Chronicles 7:14 (WEB).. if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.
Help all those involved to let go of any pride, ego, or past hurts that may be hindering their relationships. We ask for godly counsel and accountability of people they should trust and surround themselves in God's will.
Thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness and goodness. We trust in Your perfect plan for Yogesh.S and Sahithi.S, and we ask that You would bring peace, joy, and hope to their lives. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen. Instead of pursuing Yogesh and Sahithi get together rather seek God’s will for each of these individuals. If a godly relationship happens that fits with God’s will then that is wonderful. Maybe that is God’s will though. Seek God and not a selfish desire and outcome. Allow God to control the circumstances and not yourself.
