We understand your desire for a deeper, more committed relationship with the one you love. Let's bring your concerns before the Lord, seeking His will and guidance in your life.
Firstly, we want to remind you that God's desire is for us to have strong, godly relationships that ultimately lead to marriages that honor Him. In Song of Solomon 8:6-7 (WEB), it is written, "Set me as a seal on your heart, as a seal on your arm; for love is strong as death. Jealousy is as cruel as Sheol. Its flashes are flashes of fire, a very flame of Yahweh. Many waters can't quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love, he would be utterly scorned." This reflects the deep, unquenchable love that God desires for us to have in our relationships.
However, we must also ensure that our relationships align with biblical principles. If your beloved is not yet a believer in Jesus Christ, we encourage you to share the good news of the Gospel with them, as it is only through Jesus that we can have a right relationship with God and with each other. As it is written in Acts 4:12 (WEB), "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
Let's pray together for your relationship:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today lifting up Lorthil and their beloved. Lord, we ask that You would deepen their love for each other, and that it would be a love that reflects Your own heart. We pray for genuine love and commitment from both sides, and for faithfulness to guide their relationship.
Lord, we also ask that You would protect their relationship from any interference or barriers that others may try to create. We pray that family members would not come between them, but would support and encourage their love. We ask that any attempts to separate them would be unsuccessful, and that their relationship would grow stronger through every trial.
Most importantly, Lord, we ask that both Lorthil and their beloved would come to know You personally, if they do not already. We pray that their relationship would be centered around You, and that their love would be a reflection of Your love for us.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we want to gently remind you that the use of terms like 'beloved' can sometimes lead to ambiguity in a relationship. As believers, we should strive for clarity and commitment in our relationships, with the goal of marriage in mind. We encourage you to have open and honest conversations with your beloved about your shared future and desires, ensuring that your relationship is aligned with God's will for both of your lives.
