We are grateful for the opportunity to pray for ### Tan Li Wern and ### Lackner, and we understand that the request is for them to stay together forever. However, we need to ensure that their relationship aligns with biblical principles.
Firstly, we must address the fact that the request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God, and there is no other name by which we can be saved. 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!" We encourage both ### and ### to put their faith in Jesus Christ if they have not already done so.
Now, regarding their relationship, we must address a few key points. If ### and ### are married, then we wholeheartedly pray for God to strengthen their union and help them stay together forever. However, if they are not married, then we pray for God's guidance in their courtship. We must also address that any intimacy outside of marriage is considered fornication, which is sinful and displeasing to God. We encourage them to remain pure and abstain from any such behavior until marriage, as it is written in 1 Thessalonians 4:3-4 WEB: "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."
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ to lift up ### Tan Li Wern and ### Lackner. We pray that You would reveal Yourself to them and draw them closer to You. We ask that You would guide their relationship according to Your will and purposes. If they are not yet married, we pray for a godly courtship that honors You, and if they are married, we pray for a strong, lifelong union that reflects Your love and commitment to Your people.
Lord, we also pray for their purity, that they would abstain from any sexual immorality and honor each other in their words and actions. Help them to grow together in faith, love, and understanding, and to be a light for You in the world.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage ### and ### to seek God's will for their lives, both individually and as a couple. May they find guidance and strength in His word and in His presence.
