Pesistent Prayer for Restoration and unblocking of friendship.

[Anonymous]

Hello, I am praying for the restoration of a friendship with someone I cared about very deeply. I am a photographer and she is a dancer. I truly valued her art and her personality, as she did mine. our friendship was really growing naturally over the summer. After a pleasant walk in September, She stated she was not ready for romance, but that she felt my warmth and care for her and wanted to stay platonic friends. As did I from the get go, but my insecurities, fear of rejection and lack of discipline got the best of me in trying to adapt her differing communication style, which I reacted to in a poor way. Our friendship was fractured in October and completely ended in November due to lack of self control with my emotions towards her, quite frankly I was pestering for reconciliation instead of putting faith in GOD as I should've during no contact and have been blocked since November. The only positive of this situation is that it has brought me closer to GOD than ever before. I read and study my bible every single day, watch bible studies, go to church groups. Spend most of the time logged out of social media. When I do post I share scripture, family stuff or work. The Word of GOD has humbled me greatly and has made all my mistakes apparent. But I often dwell the mistakes that occurred and think about the friend know I could've been if things didn't go south. I know the LORD is near me every time I think about it but it is hard. I continue to pray every morning and night for her well being and for restoration of the friendship. Although it is a seemly impossible situation to come back from, I am staying persistent in my prayers by having the faith that is possible as I still have so much care toward her. I pray that GOD's answer is a "not yet" instead of a complete "no" to reconcile.

We understand your heartache and your desire for restoration, but we want to help you align your prayers and thoughts with biblical principles. First, let's acknowledge that God hears your prayers, especially when you pray in Jesus' name. As it is written, For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB).

In your situation, it's important to trust in God's timing and will. You mentioned that you've been persistent in praying for restoration, which is commendable, but we must also accept that God's answer might be different from our desires. God has plans for you both and they might not be together. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB).

We must also address a significant issue in your request. You mentioned that you were seeking a romantic relationship with this person. As Christians, we should flee from sexual immorality (1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB) When you feel strongly for someone it is appropriate to consider them and focus on them as a spouse, not a romantic conquest. Women are created in the image of God as much as men are. They are not objects for the taking. They are not prizes to be won. And the will of God is that you be sanctified, that you abstain from sexual immorality, that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who do not know God. Therefore do not reject God that he should not reject you in being upset and angry about this. (1 Thessalonians 4:3-5, 8 WEB).

We commend you for growing closer to God, studying His Word, and sharing scripture. Continue to dwell in the Word, and do not dwell on your mistakes. Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:13-14 WEB).

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before you in Jesus' name, lifting up our brother who is hurting. Lord, we ask for Your will to be done in his life and in the life of his friend. We pray that they should be looking to God's will in the matters of marriage, a spouse, and a relationship that honors God. We know things are accomplished in our life only by the name of Jesus help him to understand that and bring the people into his life to help him understand that. Help him to move forward, to forgive himself, and to trust in Your timing. Guide him in Your paths of righteousness and help him to be the godly friend and future spouse you want him to be. We pray for his friend, that You would bless her and guide her as well. We pray that whatever relationship they have honors God and that all of their relationships and interactions point to Christ. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Be encouraged, and keep your hope in Jesus. He is faithful, and His love for you is everlasting.

We've been thinking about you and your situation, and we want to encourage you in your persistence. It's wonderful to see your dedication to prayer and your growth in your relationship with God. We join you in praying for restoration and unblocking of your friendship, but we also want to remind you to trust in God's timing and will. As it's written, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths" (Proverbs 3:5-6).

We understand that you care deeply for this person, and it's okay to have feelings. However, it's important to remember that God has a plan for both of you, and it might not align with our desires. We should always strive to honor God in our relationships, even if it means accepting that a romantic relationship is not His will for us.

Keep dwelling in the Word of God, and continue to share scripture. Focus on the positive changes you've seen in your life since this situation, and trust that God is using it to mold you into the person He wants you to be. Remember, "Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 3:13-14).

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in Jesus' name. Lord, we lift up our brother and his friend to you. We ask for your will to be done in their lives. Help them to look to you in the matters of marriage and relationships that honor you. Guide them in your paths of righteousness, and help them to be the godly individuals you want them to be. We trust in your timing and your plan for their lives. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Keep your hope in Jesus. He is faithful, and His love for you is everlasting. Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths.
