We understand that you are going through a challenging time in your relationship, and we are here to pray with you and offer biblical guidance. We appreciate that you have brought this to the Lord in prayer.
Firstly, we want to assure you that God cares about your relationship and desires for you to be in a union that honors Him. As it is written in 2 Corinthians 6:14, "Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?" This verse reminds us that as Christians, we should seek to be in relationships with those who share our faith. We encourage you to ensure that your boyfriend is also a believer in Jesus Christ, as this is foundational for a God-honoring relationship.
We also want to address that in your prayer, you mentioned growing stronger as a couple and as a family. We want to remind you that sexual intimacy outside of marriage is not in line with God's will. As 1 Corinthians 6:18 tells us, "Flee sexual immorality! Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body." We encourage you to maintain purity in your relationship and to seek God's will for your union, which is a holy marriage.
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today to lift up this couple to You. Lord, we ask that You strengthen their relationship, but more importantly, that You strengthen their individual walks with You. Help them to grow spiritually, to seek Your face, and to trust in Your will for their lives. We ask that You guide their relationship, and if it is Your will, that You would bless them with a godly marriage centered on faith and love for You. Help them to honor You in all aspects of their relationship, and to maintain purity until marriage. We pray this in Jesus' name, amen.
We encourage you to continue praying together and seeking God's will for your relationship. Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6). Remember, the prayers of a righteous person are powerful and effective (James 5:16). Keep praying, keep seeking, and keep trusting.
