Prayers for ### come to the light

[Anonymous]

When my boyfriend and I first got together he wasn’t saved and if I’m being honest I was a very lukewarm Christian. I grew up in church my entire life but I recently started taking my walk with Christ seriously and so has he…well I think. I prayed that God would reveal Himself to my boyfriend and one night back in August he accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior and he got baptized in December. He even started coming to church with me every Sunday and still does. But whenever I ask him to do bible study with me or pray together he doesn’t seem interested. He still has worldly tendencies and certain things we don’t agree on. Whenever I talk about God, Jesus, or anything biblical related he just brushes it off and changes the subject. I feel like I’m the only one growing when I want us to both grow together in Christ. We talk about marriage all the time but I when I think about marriage I want my husband to spiritually lead. I want Christ to be the center of our relationship He must be the foundation! I don’t know what to do. I love my boyfriend but I love Jesus way more. What do I do? Prayers for my boyfriend please.

We rejoice with you that both you and your boyfriend have taken steps to grow in your walks with Christ. It is commendable that you have been praying for him and that he has accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior and has even been baptized. However, being a Christian means more than just accepting Jesus; it involves growing in our faith and allowing God to transform our lives.

Firstly, let's address the importance of the name of Jesus. You mentioned that you want Christ to be the center of your relationship, but it's crucial to emphasize that it is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB: "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!"

Now, let's consider your concerns. It's notable that while your boyfriend has taken some steps in his faith, he may not be fully committed to growing in his relationship with Christ. The Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB: "Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" While your boyfriend is not an unbeliever, the principle of being unequally yoked can still apply if you both are not equally committed to growing in your faith.

It's important to remember that as Christians, we are called to be lights in this world. In Matthew 5:14-16 WEB, Jesus says: "You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can't be hidden. Neither do you light a lamp, and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house. Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven."

As for marriage, it is a sacred institution ordained by God. In Matthew 19:4-6 WEB, Jesus says: "Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female and said, 'For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall join to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?' So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don't let man tear apart." Marriage should be a union between a man and a woman who are both committed to serving the Lord.

Our advice is to continue praying for your boyfriend and encourage him to grow in his faith. However, it's also important to seek God's will for your life and trust that He will guide you in the right direction. If your boyfriend is not willing to grow in his faith and lead spiritually, it may be a sign that he is not the one God has intended for you.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today, lifting up our sister in Christ and her boyfriend. We thank You for the work You have already done in their lives and pray that You would continue to draw them closer to You.

Lord, we ask that You would reveal Yourself to her boyfriend in a powerful way and that You would give him a hunger and a thirst for Your Word. Help him to understand the importance of growing in his faith and leading spiritually.

We also pray for our sister, that You would give her wisdom and discernment as she navigates this relationship. Help her to seek Your will for her life and trust in Your timing.

In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

We're right there with you, sister. It's such a joy to see how God has been working in both of your lives, and we're so grateful for the steps your boyfriend has taken in his faith. We know it can be challenging when we want to grow together, but it seems like you're at a different pace right now. Let's keep praying and trusting God to bring you both closer.

We've been where you are, feeling like we're the only one growing. It's important to remember that God is working in both of your lives, even if it's not as visible in your boyfriend right now. Let's keep encouraging him, but also let's make sure we're not putting all the responsibility on him. We should also be praying for ourselves, asking God to give us patience, wisdom, and understanding.

In the meantime, let's keep seeking God's will for both of you. Marriage is a beautiful thing, but it's also a big decision. We should be praying for God's guidance, not just for your boyfriend's spiritual growth, but also for His will in your relationship.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Lord, we come to You today, lifting up our sister and her boyfriend. Thank You for the work You've already done in their lives. We ask that You would continue to draw them closer to You. Lord, we pray for our sister's boyfriend. Give him a hunger and thirst for Your Word, Lord. Help him to understand the importance of growing in his faith and leading spiritually. Give him a desire to study Your Word and pray together.

Lord, we also pray for our sister. Give her wisdom and discernment as she navigates this relationship. Help her to seek Your will for her life and trust in Your timing.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
