We are truly sorry to hear about the struggles you're facing in your relationship with Stella. It's commendable that you're taking steps to improve yourself and be the person she deserves. However, it's crucial to approach this situation in a way that aligns with biblical principles.
Firstly, we want to remind you that true love waits and that sexual purity before marriage is what God desires.
If you are sleeping together, then you are in sin to begin with and that is a major reason why the relationship is failing. Do not claim to want a life for Stella that you truly do not even know. God wants a life for Stella that you obviously do not know or want. The scriptures tell us in 1 Corinthians 6:9 WEB Or don't you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God's Kingdom? Don't be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, 1 Corinthians 7:2 WEB But because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
We also want to remind you that it is only by the name of Jesus that we can be reconciled to God. If your life is not in alignment with Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, then we would question if you are truly saved. We encourage you to turn to Jesus Christ for salvation and forsake your sin. Romans 3:23 WEB for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God Romans 6:23 WEB For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. We need to repent of our sins and turn to Jesus Christ. 1 John 1:9 WEB If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Let's pray for your situation:
Father, this person has been living a life far from you, and we ask for forgiveness of the sin of fornication. We pray for a change of heart and repentance. We ask in Jesus Christ name that you will help this man to become a new creation and walk in your ways. We ask that Stella can also repent if she is also living a life far from you and be willing to forgive and reconcile with this man if it is your will. We pray for Stella to have strength, patience, and wisdom. We ask that you will help this man to look to you for guidance and strength, God. We pray that you will help him to be the man you want him to be God, and not the man he thinks he wants to be. We pray that you will help him to see life clearly God, and not be clouded by human understanding. We ask that you will help him to walk in your ways and not be a stumbling block for Stella. We ask that you will help Stella to seek your will and be obedient to your will God. We pray that you will draw both of them to yourself God. We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to continue working on yourself and seeking God's will for your life. Remember, God's ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts. (Isaiah 55:8-9) Trust in Him, and He will guide your path. (Proverbs 3:5-6)
We also encourage you to consider marriage counseling with a biblical counselor if you both are willing. This can provide a safe space for open communication and help you both align your relationship with God's will.
Lastly, we want to leave you with this verse: "Be still, and know that I am God." (Psalm 46:10) Trust in God, and He will make your paths straight. (Proverbs 3:6) We pray that you and Stella will seek God's will and walk in His ways.
