We understand that you're seeking God's intervention in your situation with your friend. Firstly, we appreciate your openness and willingness to seek prayer. You mentioned feeling that he is not the one for you. That is a very sensitive matter. We hear that you are in a relationship that seems to lack spiritual connection and emotional support.
Let us remind you of what God's word says about relationships. God’s design for romantic relationships is courtship leading to marriage between a man and a woman. Second Corinthians 6:14 states, Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? It is crucial to align with someone who shares your faith and values, as this will greatly impact your spiritual life and growth.
If you have a feeling that the relationship is not right, it is important to trust in God's guidance. Colossians 3:15 says, And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. God's peace can guide us in our decisions, and if you do not have peace about this relationship, it is a sign to reevaluate it.
You mentioned that you pray for him, but his response is dry. It is commendable that you are praying for him, but remember, Jesus said in Matthew 6:33, But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. It’s important that whoever is in your life is also seeking God.
Regarding the passing of your brother-in-law and your sister needing you. This is a clear indication of where your priorities should be. Family is a blessing from God. God’s word says in First Timothy 5:8, But if anyone doesn’t provide for their own, and especially their own household, they have denied the faith. It shows that God expects us to take care of our family.
It is also important to address that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have access to God and it is only through Him we are saved. Jesus said in John 14:6, Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our ### who is seeking Your will in her relationship. Lord, we ask that You give her clear guidance and discernment. If this relationship is not Your will, we pray that You give her the strength to walk away and trust in Your plan for her life. Comfort her as she supports her ### during this difficult time, and help her to prioritize her family as You would have her do.
We also pray for her friend, that You would soften his heart and draw him to You. If it is not Your will for them to be together, we pray that You would make that clear to both of them. Surround her with more prayer support.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
