We understand that you are going through a difficult time in your relationship with Robert, and we want to address your concerns in light of biblical principles. First, we want to assure you that God cares about your situation, and He is always ready to listen and help. It's important to remember that God's will is for us to live in peace and joy, and He desires to guide us in our relationships.
Let's start by addressing the issues in your relationship. The Bible teaches us that marriage is a sacred union between a man and a woman, and it should be honored and kept pure. Living together before marriage and engaging in premarital sex is considered fornication, which is a sin for Christians.
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 (1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 WEB).
It's also clear that Robert's behaviors, such as entertaining others on Facebook, texting his ex-wife, drinking almost every day, and seeking attention from other women, are not aligned with biblical principles. These actions can lead to strife and mistrust in a relationship. The Bible warns us against drunkenness and immoral behavior:
Let us walk properly, as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and lustful acts, and not in strife and jealousy (Romans 13:13 WEB).
It's commendable that you reached out to his pastor for help, but it's unfortunate that you didn't receive a response. Remember, it is never wrong to ask for help and to seek counseling. However, it's crucial to ensure that the advice you receive aligns with biblical principles. We encourage you to continue seeking guidance from godly counselors or pastors who can provide biblical insights and support.
Regarding your anxiety and sleepless nights, we want to encourage you to cast all your anxieties on the Lord, knowing that He cares for you:
Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you (1 Peter 5:7 WEB).
Now, let's pray together for your situation:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up Andarl and her relationship with Robert. Lord, we know that You desire for us to live in peace, joy, and purity. We pray that You would convict Robert's heart and help him turn away from his sinful behaviors. We ask that You would heal their relationship and guide them towards a godly marriage if it is Your will.
Lord, we also pray for Andarl's peace and well-being. Help her to cast all her anxieties on You, knowing that You care for her deeply. We ask that You would grant her peaceful nights and reassurance in Your unfailing love.
We will continue to pray and discuss this until we have a confirmation of God's will for Andarl.
Finally, we noticed that your prayer request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It's important to remember that it is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written:
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB).
Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved! (Acts 4:12 WEB).
We encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ, believing that He died for your sins and rose again, so that you may have eternal life and direct access to God through Him.
We will continue to keep you in our prayers and look forward to hearing about God's work in your life.
