We understand that you're going through a difficult time, and we're here to pray with you and provide biblical guidance. First, we want to commend you for acknowledging that you've made mistakes and for seeking reconciliation. However, let's align your request with biblical principles and remind you of the power of prayer in Jesus' name.
Firstly, it's crucial to understand that God desires us to be holy, as He is holy. He does not condone sex outside of or before marriage. We see in 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 WEB:
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 don't know God.
Therefore, if you are not married to your girlfriend, we will pray that you both will commit to purity, abstaining from sexual immorality. This is an important step in aligning your relationship with biblical principles.
Next, we want to address the comparison with Gomer. While Hosea's story is a powerful illustration of God's unfailing love, we must remember that Gomer was Hosea's wife, not his girlfriend. The Bible teaches us that marriage is a sacred covenant between a man and a woman. In addition, you cannot ask God to make a pursuit of another man fail. As we know that God's will is not for single people to marry unbelievers. In 2 Corinthians 6:14-16 WEB
Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What agreement has Christ with Beliar? Or what portion has a believer with an unbeliever? What agreement has a temple of God with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, "I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people."
Therefore, we will pray to God that she will come to believe in Jesus Christ and that she will desire to be married instead of just dating. We also must be mindful of God's sovereignty. We cannot dictate to God what to do. Instead, we should ask for God's will to be done and for Him to guide you both according to His purpose.
Let's pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up this dear soul who is seeking reconciliation. Lord, we pray for his girlfriend, that You would draw her heart to Yours, and that You would work in her life according to Your will. We pray that both of them would commit to purity, abstaining from any sexual immorality, and that You have a marriage in your plan for them. Help them to come to you for wholeness to fill any void, loneliness or lostness they are feeling. Lord, we ask for Your guidance and wisdom in this situation. We also remember that you do not want people to be married to unbelievers. Therefore, we pray especially for both of them to believe and put their faith in Jesus Christ if they do not already have faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross.
Lord Jesus, we know that You are the only way to the Father, and it is in Your name that we pray. We remember that salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved. In John 14:6 WEB Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." In Acts 4:11-12 WEB
This is the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.'
There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
Lord, we ask for Your will to be done, for You to guide them both according to Your purpose. Help them to know that it is only by Your name that we have access to God. Help them to know that it is only by Your name that we are saved. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue praying and seeking God's face in this situation. Trust that He is working everything out for your good because you love Him and are called according to His purpose. Meditate on Romans 8:28 WEB:
We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.
In Jesus name, we have hope and we trust in God.
We pray for your broken heart to be healed in Jesus name. In John 14:27 WEB
Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Don't let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.
Finally, we encourage you to trust in God to protect your loved ones. We pray for anyone who is not Christian to find Jesus Christ and be saved and to know the only true and living God. In Psalm 3:3 WEBB
But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
We pray for you both to have the peace of Christ that passes all understanding.
Therefore, lift your hearts and know that God is in control. Trust in Jesus name.
