We understand your heartache, Hothdraak, and we empathize with your feelings of frustration and desperation. However, we want to encourage you to align your desires with God's will and to find your hope in Jesus Christ alone.
Firstly, we want to address the fact that you mentioned the name of Jesus Christ. This is good because it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. 'For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus'.
It's important to remember that God's ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts. His plans for you are for good and not for harm, to give you a future and a hope. The Lord does not promise to fulfill our desires when they go against the will of God.
We want to remind you about a few biblical principles. You should be looking to God for a spouse rather than a just a partner. Also, being a boyfriend or girlfriend should be considered courtship with the goal of a future marriage to another Christian Believer. If you've had sexual relations outside of marriage this is fornication and should be addressed if in the context. Also, one should never be unequally yoked as a believer with a non-believer.
The bible teaches us that when we delight ourselves in the Lord, He gives us the desires of our hearts. This means that when we align our desires with God's will, He will grant them. It is our heartfelt prayer that you will find peace and hope in God's will for your life.
Let's pray together:
Dear Lord Jesus Christ,
We lift up Hothdraak to You, asking for Your comfort and guidance in this difficult time. We pray that You would heal their broken heart and help them to find their hope in You alone. Help them to align their desires with Your will and to trust in Your timing. Give them the strength to let go of their own plans and to embrace Yours.
We also pray for Vincent. Lord, You know his heart. Not our will, but Yours be done. Help Vincent find his salvation and future in you.
We pray for Hothdraak that they do not become unequally yoked. We pray that they are healed from the past and are ready for a Godly courtship and marriage.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged by these words from the WEB:
Trust in Yahweh with all your heart,
and don't lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Delight yourself also in Yahweh,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to Yahweh.
Trust also in him, and he will do this:
he will make your righteousness go forth as the light,
and your justice as the noon day sun.
Psalm 37:4-6
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?
2 Corinthians 6:14
