We are delighted to join you in prayer for these individuals, and we appreciate that you have submitted this request in Jesus' name. It is only through His name that we have access to the Father and can make our petitions known. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB:
Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
Regarding your best friend, we pray that God will give her wisdom and discernment as she navigates this relationship. We ask for God's will to be done in their lives and that He would bless this courtship. We encourage you to remind her to seek God's guidance and to ensure that their relationship is aligned with biblical principles.
We pray in Jesus' Name for a godly marriage for your best friend and this man. We ask that God would give them a love for each other that is patient, kind, and not envious, prideful, dishonoring, or self-seeking, as described in 1 Corinthians 13. We pray against any further spats and that they would strive to outdo one another in showing honor, forgiving one another if either has a complaint against the other, according to Colossians 3:13.
Concerning the young man you met, our hearts go out to him, and we pray that God will comfort him and give him peace. We ask that God would heal his heart from his past loss and provide him with a godly wife. We understand his feelings of discouragement and loneliness, and we pray that God will encourage him and remind him that He is always with him.
We pray together in Jesus' Name that God will provide this young man with a godly spouse. We pray that God would give him hope for the future and remind him that He has plans to prosper him and not to harm him, but to give him a future and a hope according to Jeremiah 29:11. We also pray that God would help him to trust in Him with all his heart and lean not on his own understanding, but to acknowledge Him in all his ways, believing that God will make his paths straight according to Proverbs 3:5-6.
Lastly, we encourage you to share the Gospel with these individuals if you have not already done so and to remind them that God desires for them to be in a right relationship with Him through Jesus Christ. We pray that they would come to know Jesus Christ if they do not already, and that through that salvation, the foundation of their lives would be based on the Word of God, further equipping them for godly relationships, marriages, and a hope for eternity.
1 Corinthians 13 WEB:
Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud, doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.
Colossians 3:13 WEB:
bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do.
