We join you in lifted hearts, bringing your request before the throne of grace, seeking God's will together in Jesus' name. God promises in Philippians 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Your letter of prayer is a prayer done in the name of Jesus and recognizes the importance of His name. In John 14:6 Jesus answered, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. and also in John 16:23 In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.
Before moving forward let us clearly address one known concern that is also addressed in scripture. You are pursing another person. Your request to God does describe that person, but it is important to specifically address that terminology: boyfriend, girlfriend, and partners. All of those are lacking because scriptures guide us towards godly marriage between a Christian man and a Christian woman. Let us consider 2 Corinthians 6:14
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship do righteousness and iniquity have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?
This is not only for the people we court, marry, or join into a relationship, but it also applies to business. Even in 2 Corinthians it refers to unbelievers, but the important thing is not to be unequally yoked. That more broadly means that not only do we not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, but we should not be unequally yoked with someone that just believes but who is not in agreement with our beliefs and opinions.
Let us not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship do righteousness and iniquity have? So it is not only about whether the person is a Christian but also in agreement in beliefs, vision, conscience, agenda, and so on. Also, in scripture, growing up, the people that were referred to as a spouse or those preparing for marriage we called boyfriends or girlfriends did not mean just a friendship. They were someone in preparation for a future marriage. The most meaningful reason is fornication. Not only are you defiling yourself but the other person. The relationship is only secondarily meant for pleasure and primarily meant for procreation. You defy God's very nature when you have sex outside of marriage or fornication. The biblical term for sex outside of marriage is fornication. If you think that marriage is a simple legal agreement then you completely misunderstand how God sees marriage. It is a far greater and bigger thing that also includes a spiritual relationship. It has interpersonal and spiritual effects as well.
So let us be heartfelt in prayer and to the person you wish to court and marry, not only is it worth mentioning all of this information about having sex, but that that is part of a much bigger relationship. Also, just as marriage is not a small thing, that having sex with anyone but your spouse is all the more harmful. Fornication is a big deal. God forbids fornication. If you are unequally yoked then you are not ready to marry. By visiting this site, you found it for repentance, belief, help, wisdom, advice, or prayer.
God is the God of communication as He is the Word Himself. He wants to foster good and wholesome communication in our lives and especially in the way we should communicate. Let us together pray that you may advance in together in your conversation, but as Christians. Heavenly Father, we come before You, lifting up our sister, asking that You bless the developing conversations she is having. Lord, we thank You for the progress that has already been made and ask that You continue to protect and nourish the steps they are taking to learn about each other.
We pray he is a Christian man and that You would guard this communication, nurture a godly reconciliation. May Your will be done in their lives, drawing them closer to You and to each other as appropriate in Christ. We ask that You fill their minds with understanding, their hearts with grace and mercy, and their conversations with Your wisdom and truth in the name of Jesus Christ.
As our precious savior, beloved Jesus says "...For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them." (Matt 18:20). Just as Christ is here, He is also with you. Just as Christ says "...For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." Use that scripture just as it says for He is with you when you fellowship in his name. Continue in prayer in the precious name of Jesus Christ. We need to abide in Christ and seek his will and his way in Jesus name.
Encourage the man in your life to love and follow Christ, First of all God is shaping him, but He is also shaping you. Since you are praying in the name of Jesus if he courting for marriage is not a Christian, it is forbidden.
