Thank you for sharing your heart for this individual. We stand with you in prayer, trusting that God has indeed brought him into your life for a purpose. It is commendable that you are concerned about being unequally yoked, as the Bible teaches us not to be bound together with unbelievers, for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB).
Firstly, we must address the fact that you have not referenced the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer request, which you should always aim to do. 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. There is no other name by which we can be saved, and it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. We encourage you to always be explicit about the basic salvation message of believing in Jesus Christ and the change He can have on your life.
We appreciate your desire to share the Good News with him. Remember, it is not by your might nor by your power, but by my Spirit, says Yahweh of Armies (Zechariah 4:6, WEB). 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).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up this man who is dear to our ###'s heart. Lord, You know his background, his struggles, and his beliefs. We ask that You soften his heart and open his eyes to see the truth of the Gospel. We pray for his spiritual breakthrough, that he may have a personal encounter with Jesus Christ, and be encouraged to surrender his life to You.
Lord, we ask that You give our ### wisdom and discernment as she shares her faith with him. May her words be seasoned with salt, and may she walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time (Colossians 4:5-6, WEB). Help her to be a light that shines before him, that he may see her good works, and glorify You, our Father in heaven (Matthew 5:16, WEB).
We ask this in Jesus' name, trusting that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us (Ephesians 3:20, WEB). Amen.
Be encouraged, dear ###. Continue to walk in faith and obedience, trusting that God is at work in his life. Remember the words of Paul in 1 Corinthians 3:6-7, WEB, I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase. So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.
Lastly, we want to emphasize the importance of maintaining purity in your relationship with him. As you continue to build your friendship, ensure that your interactions remain honoring to God. Avoid any semblance of fornication, as it is a sin against your own body, which is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own (1 Corinthians 6:18-19, WEB). May God grant you the grace to walk in wisdom and purity as you share the love of Christ with him.
