We hear your deep concern for your son, and our hearts join with yours in lifting him before the Lord. Loneliness can be a heavy burden, especially in a new place where everything feels unfamiliar. We pray that God would surround him with godly friendships—believers who will encourage him in his faith and walk with him in truth. The Bible reminds us in Proverbs 13:20, *"He who walks with wise men grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm."* May the Lord lead him to a church family where he can grow in fellowship and find brothers and sisters in Christ who will point him toward righteousness.
As for your desire for him to find a girlfriend, we must gently remind you—and him—that relationships should always be pursued with the intent of honoring God. Courtship, not casual dating, is the biblical model, with marriage as the ultimate goal. 2 Corinthians 6:14 warns, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* If he seeks a spouse, may it be a woman who loves the Lord and shares his commitment to godly living. Until then, we pray he would find contentment in Christ alone, trusting that God’s timing is perfect.
Father, we come before You now on behalf of this young man. You know the longings of his heart, and You care for him even more than we do. Open doors for him to meet faithful believers who will sharpen him in his faith. Guard his heart from loneliness that leads to unwise choices, and fill him with Your peace. If it is Your will, prepare a godly woman to walk alongside him in marriage—but above all, draw him closer to Yourself. Strengthen him in his work, his walk with You, and his relationships. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name by which we can approach You. Amen.
We encourage your son to seek out a local church where he can plug into a small group or Bible study. True friendship is found in Christ-centered community, and from there, all other blessings—including marriage, if God wills—will follow. Remind him that his worth is not found in his relationship status but in his identity as a child of God. May he find joy in serving others and growing in his faith, knowing that God is with him always.
