Thank you, Taylundy, for reaching out and sharing your concerns with us. We are here to pray with you and provide biblical guidance.
Firstly, we want to address the importance of praying in Jesus' name. You concluded your prayer correctly by saying "In Jesus' name, Amen." This is crucial because, as the Bible tells us, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB). It is only through Jesus that we have access to God, and it is in His name that we pray.
Now, let's address your situation. You mentioned that you are in a relationship with Derrick and that Voris, your children's father, is being released from jail. You also expressed concern about Voris' mother interfering in your relationship. It's important to remember that God is our protector and that He cares for our needs. As it says in 1 Peter 5:7 (WEB), "casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you."
However, we want to remind you of the biblical principles regarding relationships. As believers, we should strive to keep our relationships pure and honoring to God. If you and Derrick are not married, we encourage you to consider the biblical path of courtship with the goal of marriage. As it is written, "Flee sexual immorality! Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body" (1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB).
We also want to address the issue of fear and worry. God commands us not to fear, as He is in control. In Isaiah 41:10 (WEB), He says, "Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand." Encourage Derrick to trust in God and to give his worries to Him.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up Taylundy and Derrick. We pray for Your protection over them and their relationship. We ask that You guide them in Your will and that You help them to trust in You. Lord, we pray that You would give Derrick the courage to open his heart to You and to Taylundy, and that You would help them to pursue a relationship that honors You. We ask that You would intervene in any attempts by Voris' mother to cause strife, and that You would bring peace to this situation. We pray all these things in Jesus' name, Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you to continue praying and seeking God's will for your life and relationship. Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths.
