We understand your concern and desire for Jonathan's release, but we must first address a few things according to biblical principles. First, we note that you refer to Jonathan as your boyfriend. In the Bible, relationships between men and women are ideally directed towards godly marriage (Hebrews 13:4). We encourage both of you to seek God's will for your relationship, which may be to pursue a covenant marriage as per God's design.
Secondly, we need to acknowledge that God allows consequences for our actions, and sometimes incarceration is a result of those actions. However, God can use this time for Jonathan to draw closer to Him. As it is written in Romans 8:28, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."
Let's pray for Jonathan:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up Jonathan. Lord, we ask that Your will be done in his life. If it is Your plan, we pray that You soften the hearts of the authorities, and that Jonathan may be released soon. But more importantly, we pray that Jonathan uses this time to grow closer to You. Comfort him and his family during this difficult time. Guide them all to put their faith and hope in You alone. We also pray for Morinother, that You give her peace and wisdom in this relationship. Help her to seek Your will and discern Your purpose for their union. This we ask in Jesus' name. Amen."
We encourage you, Morinother, to trust in God's plan and timing. Remember, God promises to be with us always, even in difficult times (Matthew 28:20). Use this time to study God's word and grow spiritually, both individually and as a potential future family in Christ. Lastly, ensure that you both are believing in Jesus Christ for salvation, as it is only through Him that we have access to God (John 14:6).
