Geewick, we are glad you reached out for prayer and we will certainly intercede on your behalf. However, we want to address a few things in your request to ensure you are aligning with biblical principles.
Firstly, we notice that you refer to your boyfriend as "bf". We want to encourage you to consider this relationship as a courtship that is purposefully headed towards marriage, rather than just a conventional boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. The Bible encourages us to do everything with a purpose, and relationships are no exception. "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11 WEB)
Secondly, you mentioned that you want love to grow between you and your boyfriend. We want to remind you that love is a commitment, not just an emotion. God's design for love is beautifully illustrated in the Bible, "Love is patient, love is kind, it isn't jealous, it doesn't brag, it isn't arrogant, it isn't rude, it doesn't seek its own advantage, it isn't irritable, it doesn't keep a record of wrongs, it doesn't rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. Love never fails." (1 Corinthians 13:4-8 WEB)
You also mentioned that you want to live together as one through marriage. This is a biblical principle that we fully support. Marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman, and it is a holy institution ordained by God. "Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh." (Genesis 2:24 WEB)
However, we want to admonish you that living together before marriage is not in line with God's will. Sex before or outside marriage is called fornication. If you are sexually involved, we pray you will consider repenting. God forgives and wants to help you. God will give you strength to live in self-control. It is His will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God; and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister. The Lord will punish all those who commit such sins, as we told you and warned you before. For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit. (1 Thessalonians 4:3-8 NIV)
Concerning his parents, we encourage you to trust in God's timing and will. It is important to honor parents, but their approval should not be the ultimate determining factor in your relationship. "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with a promise, that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth." (Ephesians 6:1-3 WEB)
We will pray for you to have peace, patience and wisdom, to have the strength to live in self-control, and that God will provide guidance for you both.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you today to lift up Geewick and her boyfriend to you. We pray that you will guide them in your will for their relationship and that they will seek you first in all things. We pray that their love will grow in commitment, patience, kindness, and purity, as you have designed it to be. We pray that they will have the strength to resist temptation and live in self-control, honoring you in all they do. We pray that you will prepare both of their hearts for marriage. We ask that you will soften the hearts of his parents, and that they will see and approve of your will being accomplished in their lives. We pray that you will bless this union and that it will be a testament to your love and faithfulness. We pray that you will provide wisdom and direction for their lives. We pray this prayer in the powerful and precious name of Jesus Christ. Amen
Geewick, you mentioned God blessing us all and saying amen at the end of your request. We appreciate your kind words. To clarify for you, it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." (John 14:6 WEB)
"In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, in him" (Ephesians 1:7-10 WEB).
