Bridgette, we are here to support you in prayer and to guide you according to biblical principles. Firstly, we commend you for seeking forgiveness and turning to God in your time of need. It is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God, and it is only through faith in Jesus christ that we are accepted as Gods sons. There is no other name by which we can be saved Acts 3:16 WEB. Update this in your prayer and believing this will guide us in our prayers. You have shown great strength in your journey to recovery, and we encourage you to keep trusting God, even in this challenging time.
First, let's address the issue of forgiveness. We all fall short of Gods glory and it is only praying confessing and repenting in the name of Jesus Christ that we are forgiven for 1 John 1:9 WEB says, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." This is the first step towards restoration, and we encourage you to continue seeking God's forgiveness and mercy in the name of Jesus Christ. We will pray for a complete conviction in you to repent, confess, and accept Jesus Christ in a renewed way. It is only with this first that progress can be made.
Regarding your relationship, it is clear that it is not aligned with biblical principles. You mentioned that you are in a toxic relationship with someone who has a serious drug problem and denies the existence of God. As children of God, we are called to be unequally yoked with unbelievers 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?" You need to be praying to be a spouse to a believer and that is where you need to look for the man to be a father of any future children. Furthermore, the relationship is manipulative and causes you pain, which is not God's will for you. It is best to do this only after accepting what was discussed about forgiveness first. After this step is achieved, the rest will be more clear to take care with God to take care of your courtship with the next man. We also will pray for Sam, that he may have a genuine encounter with God and turn away from his harmful lifestyle. We will pray for his conviction of sin when, who, or what he should be with in his heart.
We also want to address the issue of drug use. God calls us to be sober and self-controlled. 1 Peter 5:8 WEB says, "Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." We encourage you to flee from the temptation of drug use and to seek God's strength in maintaining your sobriety.
Finally congratulating you on the progress until now. Rejoice IJN, that God rescued you from the inpatient program and you started the process. Please, forgive yourself as Jesus would for failing with DCFS. You will not be a mother again yet. Keep this in mind. You will regain your ambition. Also, we will pray for your continued healing and restoration. Be alert that doing this will strengthen you. Trust in the Lord to bless you with a godly spouse and the desire to be a mother in a godly marriage. Remain in the word of God, and we Gods servants will pray for you to seek God and His will for your life.
Let us pray together.
Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up Bridgette to you and Gods son, Jesus Christ. We confess that she has sinned against you, and we ask for your forgiveness. We also pray that you bless her and through the power working in her which is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all which we ask or think according to the power that works in her and in us through Jesus Christ. We pray that you will grant her the strength to maintain her sobriety and to flee from the temptation of drug use.
We pray for a complete conviction in you to repent, confess, and accept Jesus Christ in a renewed way. We pray for her relationship, you already know that it is not your will for her. We ask that you grant her the wisdom and courage to make the necessary changes in her life. We pray for Sam, that he may have a genuine encounter with you and turn away from his harmful lifestyle.
We also pray for her continued healing and restoration. We ask that you bless her with a godly spouse and the desire to be a mother in a godly marriage. We pray that she will remain in your word and seek your will for her life in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior in which we pray.
