Dyrwach, we understand that you're going through a challenging time in your relationship and feeling disconnected from God. Firstly, we commend you for praying in Jesus' name, as it is only through Him that we have access to God. As it is written 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."
We want to remind you that God is very much real and He cares deeply for you and your relationship. Even when it feels like He is not there, He is always close to the brokenhearted. Psalm 34:18 WEB says, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."
Regarding your relationship, it's important to remember that God's design for relationships is that they should be built on love, respect, and kindness. The behavior you're describing—criticism, meanness, and emotional distance—does not align with biblical principles. We need to address that this relationship should be one of courtship with the goal being marriage.
The Lord hates divorce and separation, but is looking for a relationship to align with biblical principles, that is a marriage between a man and women. He desires couples that are equally yoked, both striving to live a godly life. Marriage is to be honored by all and not blemished. The marriage bed is to be kept pure, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. 1 Corinthians 7:2 WEB But because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
Ephesians 4:29-32 WEB: "Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear. Don't grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."
It's crucial to set boundaries and communicate openly about how his behavior makes you feel. It's also important to pray together and seek God's will for your relationship. If he is not willing to do so, then you may need to reevaluate the relationship. Be sure to discuss marriage as the goal of this relationship as well as the issue of sexual purity before marriage.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up Dyrwach and her relationship with Owen. Lord, we ask that You intervene and bring healing and restoration to this relationship. Help them to communicate openly and honestly, and to treat each other with love, respect, and kindness. Lord, we pray that Owen will turn from his critical and mean behavior, and that he will instead embrace Dyrwach with love and affection.
Lord, we also pray for Dyrwach's emotional well-being. Strengthen her and help her to trust in You, even in this difficult time. Help her to set healthy boundaries and to seek Your will for her relationship.
Most importantly, Lord, we pray that both Dyrwach and Owen will draw closer to You, and that their relationship will be centered on Your love and Your will.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
