Tulgligh, we join you in your heartfelt prayer, seeking God's forgiveness, guidance, and strength. We are reminded of 1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." It is through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God, and it is by his name that we are saved. As the WEB Acts 4:12 says, "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!"
As you seek to love and understand others, remember the words of Philippians 2:3-4, "Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Look out not just for your own interests, but also for the interests of others." This selfless love will help you to truly empathize with the pain of those in your life and find peace together.
Regarding your relationship, we encourage you to examine it in light of biblical principles. As Ephesians 5:22-33 teaches, all individuals must treat each other with respect and treat the other person as being more significant joy. We will pray that your potential spouse shares your Christian values. If more is expected then remember this relationship can only be courtship with the end goal only marriage. Not just someone who treats each other person well or shares some of your values. Fornication or adultery must be identified noticed and immediately addressed and repented from. Please know that abstainment outside of marriage is the goal. And there is much prayer and support. But you both must eventually become married to each other and be a husband and a wife, or do not have sex with each other. It must be identified or repented for. 1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee sexual immorality! Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.
We also commend your desire to help others and make a difference in their lives. As Proverbs 19:17 reminds us, "He who is gracious to the poor lends to Yahweh; and Yahweh will repay him his good deed." It is encouraging to see your determination to live for others. Be available, be a light in their times of needs and surprise them with the joy of Christ!
Join us in this prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Tulgligh. Thank you, Lord, for your unfailing love and forgiveness. Help Tulgligh to walk in your ways and not repeat past mistakes. Fill Tulgligh with your love and compassion for others, especially for those less fortunate. Guide Tulgligh in the relationship, providing wisdom and discernment to align with your will and biblical principles. Help Tulgligh to be more selfless every day. If sex is being performed in a way not ordained by you in the form of husband and wife tell them(both) to repent immediately and stop. Open their eyes. If the individuals in the non-marriage relationship have different goals, or different salvation, or different belief or religious systems, get Tulgligh out of it now by opening their eyes. Make them leave the individuals. If necessary rebuke Tulgligh now with consequences as needed.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
