We understand your concern and desire for a committed future with Manuel. Let's bring your request before God, seeking His will for your relationship.
Firstly, we want to remind you of the importance of being equally yoked with a believer, as stated 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?" It's crucial that Manuel shares your faith in Jesus Christ, as this is the foundation for a godly marriage.
Regarding your concern about commitment, we encourage you to consider the principles outlined in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, "Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." True love is patient and kind, and it seeks the best for the other person.
We also want to address the importance of purity in your relationship. If you and Manuel are not married, we encourage you to abstain from sexual immorality, as outlined in 1 Corinthians 6:18, "Flee sexual immorality! Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but whoever commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today to lift up Archhach and Manuel. Lord, we ask that You reveal Your will for their relationship. If it is Your will for them to be together, we pray that Manuel would seek Your face and commit to Archhach in a godly way. Help him to make a concise future plan, guided by Your wisdom. Lord, we also pray for Archhach, that she would trust in You and Your timing. Help her to be patient and to seek Your will above all else.
If Manuel is not a believer, we pray that You would draw him to Yourself, that he may come to know You as his Lord and Savior. We ask that You help them to maintain purity in their relationship, fleeing from sexual immorality.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we want to remind you that it is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written 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.'" If you have not already, we encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins and the hope of eternal life.
