We understand your prayer request, Dexter2020, and we approach this with care and biblical guidance. Let's address your concerns together.
Firstly, it's important to remember that the Bible encourages us to be in relationships that are honoring to God. In Ephesians 5:21, it says, "subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ." This mutual submission is key in any relationship.
However, we must address that the focus of your prayer seems to be on having REI conform to your expectations, rather than both of you growing together in Christ. The Bible teaches that we should not be self-seeking, but rather look to serve one another. As it is written in Philippians 2:3-4, "Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others."
It's also crucial to note that submission in marriage is a two-way street. While Ephesians 5:22 does advise wives to submit to their husbands, the very next verse (Ephesians 5:25) commands husbands to love their wives "just as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it." This love is sacrificial and selfless, not seeking its own way.
Moreover, it's important to remember that God has made each of us unique individuals with our own personalities and ways of expressing love. It's not for us to change or mold someone into what we want them to be. Instead, we should pray for understanding, patience, and the ability to love each other as Christ loves us.
Let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ. We lift up REI to you, asking that you would help her to grow in her relationship with you and with Dexter2020. Help them both to be proactive in understanding and knowing each other, but not to change each other. Teach them to love selflessly, to be patient, kind, and humble, just as Christ was. Guide their relationship according to your will. This we pray in Jesus' name. Amen."
Lastly, we note that you haven't mentioned Jesus Christ or the name of Jesus in your request. It's important to remember that it is only through Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" If you haven't already, we encourage you to put your trust in Jesus Christ for your salvation.
