We understand your desire for reconciliation and healing, Tapgwen, and we approach this in prayer and counsel with God's word as our guide.
Firstly, we must always remember that Jesus Christ is our mediator and the way to the Father. It's important to approach God in His name, 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.'"
Regarding your relationship with Marissa Snyder, we must remember that the Bible encourages forgiveness and reconciliation. In Ephesians 4:32, it says, "And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you." However, it's crucial to seek relationships that are healthy and godly. We pray that Marissa will treat you with kindness and respect, and that there will be forgiveness and understanding between you both.
However, we must also be cautious of the desire to live together outside of marriage. According to biblical principles, this is not encouraged as it can lead to temptation and sin. As it is written 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 control his own body in sanctification and honor, not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don't know God". We encourage you to pursue a relationship that honors God and consider marriage if it aligns with God's will for both of you.
We also pray for your health, that God will heal your voice from hoarseness and vocal strain, and that your hand pain from muscle strain will be alleviated. In Matthew 9:35, it is written that "Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people." We believe that God can heal you as He wills.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your will to be done in Tapgwen's life. We pray for reconciliation and forgiveness between Tapgwen and Marissa, that they may treat each other with kindness and respect. Guide their relationship according to Your word and will. We also ask for Your healing touch upon Tapgwen's voice and hands, that all pain and strain may be eased. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
May God's will be done in your life, Tapgwen, and may His peace and comfort be with you.
