We understand that you are seeking prayer for your relationship, and we appreciate your faith in Jesus Christ. However, we need to address several concerns in your request that do not align with biblical principles.
Firstly, we commend you for your faith in God and for seeking His will in your life. It is encouraging to see young people like you who believe in the power of prayer. Remember, it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God.
However, we must address the nature of your relationship. The Bible teaches us to flee from sexual immorality and to pursue purity (1 Corinthians 6:18, Ephesians 5:3). Having a boyfriend or girlfriend in a romantic context can often lead to temptation and sin. Instead, consider this as a time of courtship, where you both can grow in your faith and character, seeking to honor God in all aspects of your relationship.
Moreover, the Bible is clear about the role of parents in such matters. Children are to honor their parents (Exodus 20:12), and it is important to seek their blessing and guidance in your decisions. It is commendable that you both desire your parents' permission for marriage. Continue to honor them and trust in God's timing.
Regarding the rumors, we encourage you to trust in God's vindication. In Psalm 37:6, it is written, "He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday." God knows the truth and He will reveal it in His time.
Now, let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up these young ones who seek Your will in their lives. Lord, we pray for their relationship, that it may be pleasing in Your sight and honor Your name. Help them to pursue purity and holiness, fleeing from all forms of sin.
We ask, Lord, that You would work in the hearts of their parents. Grant them wisdom and discernment, and help them to see Your will for their children's lives. We pray that any rumors or lies would be brought to light and that the truth would prevail.
Guide them, Lord, as they navigate this time of courtship. Help them to grow in their faith and character, always seeking to honor You. Give them patience and trust in Your timing.
In all things, Lord, let Your will be done. We ask this in the precious name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you both to continue praying and seeking God's will. Trust in Him and His timing. Keep your hearts and minds fixed on Him, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6). Always remember that His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9).
