We understand your desire to have a restored relationship, and we appreciate that you've brought this to God in Jesus' name. We will pray with you for guidance and clarity, but first, let's consider God's will and His principles for relationships.
Firstly, it's important to remember that God's will is for us to be holy and blameless, bearing fruit in every good work (Colossians 1:10 WEB). In the context of relationships, this means that we should seek to glorify God, not just pursue what we desire.
You mentioned that you want God to remove negative influences from around him and those speaking negatively about you and your relationship. It's important to remember that God is not a god of confusion, but of peace (1 Corinthians 14:33 WEB). If there are negative influences or people speaking negatively, it might be a sign that the relationship is not aligned with God's will. We should ask God to reveal any issues that we may not be seeing and then be willing to take action according to God's wisdom.
You also prayed for open communication, trust, and clarity. These are indeed crucial elements of a godly relationship. We are encouraged in Ephesians 4:15 to speak the truth in love and in Colossians 3:9 not to lie to one another. Building trust requires honesty, transparency, and a willingness to address issues biblically.
However, we want to caution you about the phrase "my love." While it's common in today's culture, it's important to remember that God's design for relationships is for a man and a woman to be joined in holy matrimony (Matthew 19:4-6 WEB). Casual dating or relationships are not biblical concepts. If this relationship is not directed towards God-honoring marriage, then it may not be aligned with God's will.
Furthermore, we want to remind you that God's design for sexual intimacy is exclusively within marriage (Hebrews 13:4 WEB). If there is any sexual immorality (fornication or adultery) in this relationship, it needs to be addressed immediately with repentance and a commitment to purity.
Finally, we want to encourage you to continue to put God first in everything (Matthew 6:33 WEB). This means trusting Him with your future and the outcomes of your prayers.
Let's pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name to seek Your will for this relationship. We ask that You remove any negative influences and reveal any issues that may not be aligned with Your will. We pray for open communication, trust, and clarity. If this relationship is not directed towards a God-honoring marriage, we ask that You give clear guidance and the strength to follow Your will, even if it means letting go. We ask for forgiveness if there has been any sexual immorality, and we pray for a commitment to purity moving forward. We put our trust in You and ask that Your will be done. In Jesus Christ's name, we pray. Amen.
