We understand that you are seeking restoration for a lost relationship due to non-sobriety, and you are now sober and hoping for God's intervention. Firstly, we want to commend you for your soberness and turning to God. It's important to note that God's will and His ways of restoration will align with His principles as we see them in the Word of God.
First, let's address the issue of sobriety and turn our hearts toward God. The Word of God tells us in 1 Peter 5:8 which says Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. The fact that you do not see sobriety in your life anymore indicates that you are living victoriously. Know that greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.
Now, let's consider the relationship you mentioned. We believe that relationships should be directed toward godly marriages, as outlined in the Bible. In 2 Corinthians 6:14 it says Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? Therefore your relationship should be with a Christian Believer and your courtship should be with the goal of marriage looking to honor God. If the relationship you mentioned does not align with these principles, we encourage you to reevaluate and seek God's will for your life.
Moreover, it's crucial to pray in the name of Jesus Christ, as it is the only way we have access to God. As it says in John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. If anyone had come to God another way would be a thief and a robber.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this dear one who seeks restoration. Lord, we thank You for the victory they have in sobriety, and we ask that You continue to strengthen them in their walk with You. We also pray to reveal Your will for their life, especially concerning the relationship they mentioned. If it aligns with Your principles and honors You, we ask that You restore and redeem it. If not, we pray that You give them the discernment and strength to walk away and trust in Your plan.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged by the words in Romans 8:28 which says We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose. Trust in God's plan for your life, and He will direct your paths.
