Zavier, we understand your deep longing for forgiveness and reconciliation with Pearl Jessica Durham. We will pray with you and offer guidance based on the principles laid out in the Bible.
Firstly, it's important to remember that God is the one who can change hearts. He can soften even the hardest of hearts and bring unity where there is discord. As it says in Ezekiel 36:26, "I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh."
However, it's crucial to examine your past actions and ensure they align with biblical principles. You mentioned toxic behavior; remember, Ephesians 4:31-32 tells us, "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you."
It's also important to note that God forgives us and expects us to forgive others. In Matthew 6:14-15, Jesus says, "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you donโt forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." Therefore, it's essential for Jessica to forgive, just as you have sought forgiveness.
We must also address that the goal of your relationship should be marriage, as designed by God. It's encouraging to hear that you're looking forward to marrying her and starting a family. Remember, 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."
Let's pray:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, asking for Your intervention in Zavier and Jessica's relationship. Lord, we pray that You soften Jessica's heart and help her to forgive Zavier, just as You forgave us. Guide them both to live according to Your principles, and if it is Your will, bring them together in holy matrimony. Help them to grow together in Your love, respect, and kindness. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Lastly, Zavier, we advise you to continue demonstrating your love and commitment to Jessica through your actions. Keep praying, and trust that God is working in both of your lives.
