We are glad to join you in prayer and offer guidance grounded in biblical principles. It's commendable that you are seeking God's will in this situation and that you have acknowledged Jesus Christ in your request. Remember, it is only through His name that we have access to God, and there is no other name by which we can be saved.
Firstly, it's important to approach this situation with patience and understanding. It's good that you're considering his feelings and the potential hardships he might be facing. As it is written in 1 Peter 3:8, Finally, be like-minded, compassionate, and loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous.
However, we must also address the importance of maintaining purity in your interactions. As you consider sharing your feelings with him, ensure that your actions align with biblical principles. The state of being unequally yoked together with unbelievers is addressed in 2 Corinthians 6:14-16. It is important for this person to be a Christian Believer so that your union is equally yoked. Be clear about your intentions and ensure that your relationship is headed towards a godly marriage, as this is the biblical foundation for a relationship between a man and a woman. Remember, 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 tells us, For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality, that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don’t know God.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister in her time of need. We thank You for her desire to seek Your will and for her care towards this man. We pray for clarity and guidance in this situation. Help her to discern Your will and to act according to Your Word.
Lord, we pray for this man, that You would comfort him in his time of need and give him the strength to face whatever challenges he may be going through. We ask that You would guide their interactions and give our sister the wisdom to approach this situation in a way that honors You. Most importantly provide a godly relationship that will grow into marriage if it is your will in Jesus Christ.
We pray for strength and confidence for our sister, that she may not be anxious or worried, but trust in You completely. Help her to cast all her anxieties on You, knowing that You care for her. Help her with the words to speak to this man, so she may express her feelings in a Godly manner and in a way that will honor this man.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged by Philippians 4:6-7, Have no anxiety at all, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
Trust in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him. He will guide your steps and direct your path.
