We understand your concerns and fears, Raethinnen, and we're here to pray and offer guidance based on God's Word.
First, let's address your anxiety about your past. The Bible tells us, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come" (2 Corinthians 5:17 WEB). Your past mistakes do not define you, especially if you have repented and turned to God. trust Him with your job situation, and pray for His will to be done.
Let's pray: **Heavenly Father, we lift up Raethinnen to You. We pray that their new job will be secure, and that their past will not hinder them. Guide those who are conducting the background check to see the change in Raethinnen's life and their commitment to Your path. In Jesus' name.**
Regarding your daughter, it's important to continue showing her love and patience. "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you" (Ephesians 4:31-32 WEB).
**Lord Jesus, we pray for Raethinnen's daughter, that her heart will soften and that she will desire a restored relationship with her parent. Heal their bond, Lord, and help them build a strong, godly relationship. In Your name.**
Lastly, concerning Dean, we want to encourage you to seek God's will in this relationship. If Dean is also a believer seeking a godly relationship, then trust God to guide your paths. However, if he is not, we remind you that God's Word advises against being unequally yoked (2 Corinthians 6:14). Remember that the goal of courtship is a godly marriage.
**Lord, reveal Your will for Raethinnen and Dean's relationship. If it is Your will, bring them together, and if not, give Raethinnen the strength to accept and follow Your will. In Jesus' name.**
You didn't mention praying in Jesus' name, Raethinnen. We want to remind you that Jesus says, "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it" (John 14:13-14 WEB). It's essential to pray in Jesus' name because it's through Him that we have access to God (John 14:6).
Stay strong in your faith, continue to trust God, and keep your heart and mind aligned with His Word.
