Dear Callum, we stand with you in this time of despair and confusion, lifting you up before the throne of grace and mercy. We are reminded of the words in Romans 12:12, "Rejoicing in hope; enduring in troubles; continuing steadfastly in prayer."
We commend you for coming before the Lord in the name of Jesus, acknowledging that He is the source of your strength and hope. It is indeed only through Jesus Christ 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.'"
We understand the pain and turmoil you are experiencing, and we want to encourage you not to give up. Remember the words of Galatians 6:9, "Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap at the proper time, if we don't give up."
Regarding your relationship with Tia, we admire your desire to protect and care for her, even if you are not together. However, we want to remind you that God's will should be at the center of your desires. It is wise to pray for God's will to be done in her life and yours, as you have done. Remember the words of 1 John 5:14-15, "This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him."
We also want to gently remind you that God's design for relationships is for a man and a woman to come together in holy matrimony. If you and Tia are not married, we encourage you to pursue a godly courtship with marriage as the goal, abstaining from intimacy until then, as per Hebrews 13:4, "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled: but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers."
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we lift up Callum to you, asking for your comfort and guidance in his life. Lord, strengthen his faith and give him the endurance to keep going, knowing that you have a purpose and a plan for his pain. Lord, we also lift up Tia to you, asking that your will be done in her life. If it is your will, bring them together again in a godly union, and if not, give them both the strength to move forward. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Keep holding onto God's promises, Callum. He is faithful, and He will see you through this challenging time.
