We understand your concern for your girlfriend, ###, and we are here to pray and guide you according to biblical principles.
Firstly, we rejoice in the fact that ### is interested in Christianity. We pray that God will open her heart to receive the Gospel and come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. As the Scripture says, "For 'whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.'" (Romans 10:13 WEB). We also pray for her father, that his heart will be open to blessing your relationship if it aligns with God's will.
However, we must remind you that as Christians, we are called to be equally yoked with our spouses. As the Apostle Paul advises, "Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB). While it's encouraging that ### is exploring Christianity, it's crucial that her faith becomes personal and genuine before you consider marriage.
We also commend your desire to take this relationship seriously and to cherish and love her. Love, forgiveness, patience, and commitment are indeed vital in any relationship. Remember, "Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud, doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails." (1 Corinthians 13:4-8 WEB).
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today to lift up ### and ###. Lord, we ask that You open ###'s heart to receive the Good News of Jesus Christ. Draw her to You, Lord, and let her experience the transforming power of Your love. We also pray for her father, that he may be open to their relationship if it is Your will.
Lord, we ask for Your guidance in their relationship. Help them to grow in love, patience, forgiveness, and commitment towards each other. Give ### wisdom and discernment as he navigates this relationship, and help him to trust in Your perfect timing.
We ask all these things in the precious name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Lastly, we noticed that your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. We want to remind you that it is only by His name that we have access to God. As the Scripture says, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB). We encourage you to keep praying in His name and to trust in Him for all your needs.
