Thank you, Phuodorlain, for reaching out with your request. We understand that you and your girlfriend are facing financial challenges that are affecting your relationship. Firstly, we want to remind you of the importance of putting God at the center of your relationship. If you have not already then true love will motivate you. As it says in Ecclesiastes 4:12, "Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." This means you and your girlfriend with God are stronger together. This is only true with true love. We need to know that you are a believer in Jesus Christ and your girlfriend is as well. Jesus Christ is the way to God and the only way to salvation.
However, we must also address that the Bible teaches us to flee from sexual immorality and that God has called us to holiness. This is found in 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5, "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 do not know God." We encourage you both to remain pure and honor God with your bodies, saving intimacy for marriage. This is a biblical command and important to a successful marriage.
Regarding your financial needs, remember that God is our provider. In Matthew 6:31-33, Jesus teaches us, "Therefore don't be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you today to lift up Phuodorlain and his girlfriend, asking for your guidance and provision in their lives. We pray through the money issues are being resolved. We pray that you will bless the work of their hands and provide for their needs according to your riches in glory. We ask you to give them patience and endurance during this time of need.
We also pray that you will help them to keep their relationship pure and holy, honoring you in all they do. We pray that you will guide them towards marriage if it is your will, and that you will give them the strength to resist temptation.
We ask this in Jesus' name, for it is in his name that we can come to you.
Amen.
We encourage you both to continue praying and seeking God's will for your lives. If it is God's will and you and your girlfriend love each other and want to glorify God in your relationship, we pray that you will consider marriage as God intends for a man and a woman to be joined together as one. We encourage you to study the Bible together and grow in your faith as a couple. God bless you both.
