We are truly concerned about the path that ### is on, and we stand with you in prayer to intercede for her situation. Firstly, we must address that the reference to a 'boyfriend' is concerning. The Bible encourages us to flee from sexual immorality and that fornication is a sin against our own bodies. We read these words in 1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB: "Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body." Furthermore, the relationship is not endorsed to be moving toward a God honoring marriage. It should be a courtship with another Christian Believer. Additionally, lies and pride are serious issues that God wants to change. Lying is listed among the sins that God hates in Proverbs 6:16-19 WEB, it says: "These six things Yahweh hates; yes, seven are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to mischief, a false witness who utters lies, and he who sows discord among brothers."
Pride is also a severe issue that will block close intimate relationship with God. We read in Proverbs 16:18 WEB, "Pride goes before destruction, and an arrogant spirit before a fall."
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, bringing ### before Your throne of grace. Father, we know that You love her deeply and desire the best for her. We pray that You will convict her heart and reveal to her the destructive path she is on.
First, we pray for Your forgiveness where she has knowingly told lies. We ask you to reveal to her the destructive nature of this sin and that she will confess and repent and turn from this.
We pray that You will also break down the walls of pride in her heart. Reveal to her the beauty of humility and help her to see the value of a gentle and quiet spirit, as Peter writes in 1 Peter 3:3-4 WEB, which says, "Let your beauty be not just the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on fine clothing; but in the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God very precious."
Father, we also lift up her relationship to You. We pray that she and her boyfriend will be convicted about living in sin and that she will only be unequally yoked with another believer in Christ Jesus. We pray that this relationship will be pure and honoring to You, seeking a God honoring marriage with another Christian Believer.
We also ask that You guide her steps in her career. We trust that You have good plans for her, and we pray that You will open the right doors for her to find a job that honors You and uses her gifts and talents.
Finally, we pray that she will come to know Jesus Christ if she does not already. Remind her that Jesus said in John 14:6 WEB: "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."
We ask all of these things in Jesus Christ's name and for His sake. Amen."
We encourage you to continue standing in the gap for ###, trusting that God is at work in her life. Keep sharing the truth in love and praying for her to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, turning from sins and growing in the fruits of the Spirit.
