Thank you, Paroxyromai, for sharing your joy and your requests with us. We rejoice with you in the goodness of the Lord and the happy times you've had with your family. It's wonderful to hear that you are seeking God's will for your potential relationship with Maeve, and that you are committed to purity and God's design for marriage. It is good that any Christ centered relationship has marriage as its goal.
We commend you for your stance on intimacy, and we encourage you to continue to stand strong against temptation. As it is written in 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 WEB: "Flee sexual immorality! Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, thanking You for the joy and happiness that Paroxyromai has experienced. We praise You for the positive updates regarding Maeve and for the wonderful day spent with family.
Lord, we ask that You continue to guide Paroxyromai and Maeve according to Your perfect will. If it is Your desire for them to be together in a Christ-centered marriage, we pray that You would make it abundantly clear and that You would remove any obstacles in their path without compromising Your word, "therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh." Genesis 2:24 WEB. We ask that You would draw Maeve closer to You, and that she would fully embrace salvation in Christ which is found in no other name by which we can be saved as is stated in Acts 4:12 WEB "There is salvation in none other, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved!" Lord, help them to reconcile the past of their lives that they both have committed to you and move forward in Your grace and love, putting off the old man or woman and putting on the new man or woman which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him of Colossians 3:10 WEB.
Father, we also pray for continued strength for Paroxyromai to stand against temptation and to wait for a woman according to Your word. Help them to live in purity and holiness, honoring You in their relationship and the grace of God that allows us to live for Christ. We fully support the two remaining not just Friends but content in God until marriage and remaining separate as is stated in 1 Timothy 5:2 WEB, "the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity" and 1 Corinthians 7:36 WEB "But if any man thinks that he is behaving inappropriately toward his virgin, if she is past her bloom, and if need so requires let him do what he desires. He doesn’t sin. Let them marry".
In Jesus Christ's precious name, we pray. Amen.
Continue to walk in faith, Paroxyromai, and trust in the Lord with all your heart. Keep leaning on him and he will direct your paths as stated in Proverbs 3:4-5.
