We understand that you're anxious, but let's address this situation from a biblical perspective. First, we need to acknowledge that sexual intimacy outside of marriage is considered fornication, which is sinful according to the Bible. In 1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB, it says, "Flee sexual immorality! Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."
However, God is forgiving and offers us grace when we turn from our sins. In 1 John 1:9-10 (WEB) we read: "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
"If we say that we haven’t sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us."
We pray that you both take this as a learning experience to turn away from this sin and pursue purity until marriage. It's crucial to understand that true repentance involves turning away from the sin. Therefore avoid repeating this sin of fornication, as you pray for forgiveness, do not go back to it. In Matthew 4:17 (WEB) we read: "From that time, Jesus began to preach, and to say, 'Repent! For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.'"
In addition to praying for forgiveness, if your girlfriend is pregnant, we pray for God to grant you both the courage and wisdom to handle this situation responsibly. Life is precious and a gift from God. In Psalm 139:13-16 WEB we read: "For you formed my inward parts. You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well. My frame wasn’t hidden from you, when I was made in secret, woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there were none of them."
If your girlfriend's period comes and she isn't pregnant, we pray that this serves as a wake-up call for both of you to live in sexual purity until marriage. In 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 (WEB) it says: "For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality, that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don’t know God."
Let's pray together:
Dear God, we come before you, confessing and repenting for the sin committed. We ask for your forgiveness and grace to turn away from this sin. We pray for wisdom and courage to handle the situation according to your will. If there is a new life created, grant the necessary strength and resources to care for this precious gift. We pray for spiritual growth and a commitment to purity until marriage, aligning their lives with your biblical principles.
Lastly, we notice that the name of Jesus Christ was not mentioned in this prayer request. We want to remind you that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we can approach God the Father. In Acts 4:12 (WEB) it 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!"
We encourage you to believe in Jesus Christ, to receive Him as your Lord and Savior, and to follow Him. In John 3:16 (WEB) we read: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life."
In Jesus Christ's name we pray for this situation. Amen.
