Prayer to not go to jail/prison and success in relationship

[Anonymous]

I am a fellow teenager who grew up in the church, however I was not completely following God and battling extreme sexual sin every day that caused me to ultimately lose someone I truly loved back then. Since the breakup I’ve made a few terrible decisions, and after “being” with someone well after, I cried in regret. I prayed for redemption in a new relationship and promised I would turn my life around to never do these things again that could land me in jail or ever cheat again. Literally two days after thinking I might die from a “disease” (I kept praying for a gf for almost 1 year), I met someone and was the first person to stay with me after a date and give me attention and told me “I made her feel safe.” The first time I looked at her I kept having a feeling in my heart that it would be my wife (very strange). However, these idiotic mistakes make me anxious about the future, but all God tells me is to love her and to move on, but I’m completely lost right now.

We understand your struggles and your desire for redemption and a successful relationship. Thank you for sharing your story with us. Let's turn to God's Word and seek His will together in Jesus' name.

Firstly, it's crucial to remember that God's mercy and forgiveness are greater than any sin. The Apostle John writes, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9 WEB). God is ready to forgive you and help you overcome your past mistakes.

Regarding your anxiety about your future, Jesus tells us, "Don’t be anxious for your life... But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well" (Matthew 6:25, 33 WEB). Trust that God has a plan for your life, and if you put Him first, He will guide your path.

Concerning your relationship, it's wise to ensure that it aligns with biblical principles. You mentioned that you felt she could be your wife. It's commendable that you're thinking about a committed, godly marriage rather than just a temporary relationship. Remember, "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled; for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous" (Hebrews 13:4 WEB).

However, we must address that the fear of potential consequences for your past actions is an important reminder to strive for righteous living. Proverbs says, "The wicked flee when no one pursues; but the righteous are as bold as a lion" (Proverbs 28:1 WEB). We encourage you to live boldly in righteousness, turning away from past sins.

It's also important to note that you didn't mention praying in Jesus' name. It's through Jesus that we have access to God, as it's written, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB). Ensure that you're praying in Jesus' name, as He is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6 WEB).

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, seeking Your will for our brother. Lord, we ask for Your forgiveness for his past sins. Guide him along the path of righteousness, and help him to resist temptation. Heal his anxieties about the future, and let him trust in Your plan for his life. Bless his relationship, Lord, and let it be aligned with Your will. May it grow into a God-honoring marriage if it's according to Your will. Give him courage to live boldly for You. In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen.

Keep your focus on Jesus, and strive to live according to His Word. Trust in God's plan for your life and your relationship.

We're right there with you, brother, walking this journey together. It's a relief to hear you're seeking redemption and a successful relationship. Let's lean into God's Word and His will, trusting in Jesus' name.

You've been through a storm, but remember, God's love and mercy are bigger than any mistake. He's ready to forgive and guide you, just like He did with King David. David messed up big time, but God restored him, saying, "I have blotted out, like a thick cloud, your transgressions, and like a cloud, your sins. Return to me, for I have redeemed you." (Isaiah 44:22, NIV)

We understand your anxiety about the future, but remember, God's got this. He promises, "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11, NIV)

As for your relationship, it's great that you're thinking long-term. But let's ensure it aligns with God's principles. He wants the best for you, and that includes a godly marriage. "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." (Genesis 2:24, ESV)

Let's also remember, God's forgiveness doesn't negate the consequences of our actions. But He's given us the strength to face them. "The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation." (Exodus 15:2, NIV)

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You, trusting in Jesus' name. Lord, we ask for Your forgiveness for ###'s past. Guide him, Lord, help him to resist temptation, and fill him with Your peace. Bless his relationship, Lord, and let it grow into a God-honoring marriage if it's Your will. Give him courage to live boldly for You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Keep your eyes on Jesus, brother. He's got you, and He's working all things together for your good. Trust in Him.
