Let us first thank God for your renewed faith and commitment to walking with Him. It is wonderful to see you seeking God's will in your life and in your relationship. Remember, God's timing is perfect, and He hears your prayers. Let us address your concerns and turn to the Scriptures for guidance.
Firstly, it is important to acknowledge that God desires for us to be in relationships that honor Him. In 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB, it is written, "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" This verse reminds us that our relationships should be with fellow believers who share our faith and commitment to God. Since you mentioned that he believes in God but does not walk with Him, it is encouraging that you are praying for his spiritual growth. Continue to trust that God is working in his heart, just as He worked in yours.
Now, let us address the on-and-off nature of your relationship. This pattern can be emotionally taxing and may not align with God's design for stable, committed relationships. In Malachi 2:16 WEB, we read, " 'For I hate divorce,' says Yahweh, the God of Israel, 'and him who covers his garment with violence!' says Yahweh of Armies. 'Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let no one deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.'" God's intention for relationships is clear: they should be committed and steadfast, reflecting the unfailing love of Christ for His church.
Let us also consider that sexual purity is a fundamental aspect of God's design for relationships. If there has been sexual involvement outside of marriage, it is important to repent and seek God's forgiveness. In 1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB, 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."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our sister in Christ who seeks Your will in her relationship. Lord, we thank You for the work You have already begun in her life and in the life of her significant other. We ask that You continue to draw him closer to You, that he may walk in Your ways and grow in his faith.
Father, we pray for clarity and guidance in this relationship. If it is Your will for them to be together, we ask that You strengthen their bond and help them build a foundation on Your Word. If this relationship is not aligned with Your plan, we pray for the courage and wisdom to let go and trust in Your greater purpose.
Lord, we also pray for healing from any past hurts and for the strength to resist temptation. Help them to honor You in all aspects of their relationship, seeking purity and commitment.
Finally, Father, we pray that our sister will trust in You completely, knowing that You are faithful and that Your love endures forever. We do not ask this in our own ability but in the name of Jesus Christ.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Remember, it is only by 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." Trust in Him, and He will guide your path.
