We understand that you're going through a difficult time, Flinseliall, and we want to address your situation with care and biblical principles. First, we want to remind you that God's will is always the best for us, and He works everything together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.
It's important to note that the Bible teaches us to flee from sexual immorality, and that includes intimacy outside of marriage. Since you did mentioned specifically what you did to cause the situation with PTSD, we want to remind everyone that God calls us to purity and holiness.1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB says, Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.
Regarding your relationship, it's clear that you care deeply for Eli. However, it's crucial to remember that God's design for relationships is that they should be moving toward marriage. The Bible teaches us to be equally yoked with fellow believers. So it is important to know her faith, 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB says, Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?
It's also important to respect Eli's feelings and decisions, but ultimately place your future in God's hands. We encourage you to stay away from heartache by not calling her your girlfriend and imagining a long-distance marriage. Proverbs 4:23 WEB says, Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life. Instead, focus on your personal growth and becoming the best version of yourself in Christ.
The name of Jesus Christ was mentioned nowhere in the text of the prayer request. It is by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Some of the first things we should do as Christians is make sure that Jesus is our focus. Always remember the basic salvation message. If you declare with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. It is by his name under heaven given to men by which we can be save.
Acts 4:12 WEB says, There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!
Romans 10:9 WEB, because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today in the name of Jesus, lifting up Flinseliall and Eli. Lord, we ask for Your healing touch on Eli's heart and mind. We pray that You would help her overcome any PTSD symptoms and find peace in You. We also pray for Flinseliall, that You would guide him, give him strength, and help him to grow in You during this time. We ask that Your will be done in their lives and that You would reveal Your divine purpose, in Jesus name.
We ask this all in Jesus precious name amen.
