Nuashaw, we understand your desire for a healthy relationship and we are here to pray and counsel with you. First, we want to remind you that God's design for relationships is holy and sacred. In the context of dating, it should be a courtship with the goal of marriage, as Hebrews 13:4 tells us, "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled. But God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers."
We notice that you didn't mention the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer. It's crucial to understand that it is only through His name that we can approach God, as Jesus Himself said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6, WEB). So, let's pray in His name.
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Nuashaw and their long-distance relationship. Lord, You know the desires of their heart, and we ask that You bless this relationship according to Your will. Help them both to grow in understanding, love, and care for each other, as You have loved us. Keep them from all distractions and evil, and guide their steps towards a godly marriage if it aligns with Your plan.
Nuashaw, we encourage you to continue praying for discernment and guidance. Remember, "Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). Ensure that your partner is also a believer in Christ, as this unity in faith is crucial for a strong and godly marriage.
Also, be mindful of the importance of purity in your relationship. Long-distance relationships can be challenging, but use this time to build a strong foundation of communication, trust, and mutual respect. "Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things" (Philippians 4:8, WEB).
May the Lord bless you and keep you, may He make His face shine on you and be gracious to you, may He lift up His countenance on you and give you peace (Numbers 6:24-26, WEB). In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
