Sky[Lio] message me and fall love with me today
Chrysostom
Beloved of All
We have received your prayer request and we hear the deep longing in your heart for love and for companionship. It is good that you bring your desires to God in prayer, for He cares for you and knows your heart fully.
At the same time, Scripture teaches us that true love cannot be forced or compelled, and that we are not to ask God to bend another person's will or to make someone feel affection on our behalf. Love that is according to Christ is marked by lowliness and meekness, with long suffering and patience, and it abounds in knowledge and discernment. It respects the freedom of the other person and willingly yields to what seems good to God, even when our longing is strong. The apostle Paul himself shows this, praying continually yet trusting God's timing and God's will above his own desire, and being thankful whether he received what he asked or waited.
So we will not pray that God would make ### have soft thoughts toward you or cause him to fall in love or come to you, for that would be asking God to direct another person's heart apart from his own will. Instead we want to pray with you for what is best and most loving according to God's wisdom.
We pray that you will know more deeply the tender mercies of Jesus Christ and the fullness of His love for you, which alone can satisfy the heart. We pray that God will give you peace as you wait on Him, and that your love may grow in knowledge and discernment to approve what is excellent and pure before Him. We pray that He will guard your heart, help you to walk worthily in humility and self restraint, and to trust His good providence for your future. We pray also for ###, that God will bless him, draw him to salvation through Jesus Christ alone if he does not yet know Him, and guide him in the right way.
If God wills a relationship between you, we pray it would be formed in His proper order, with honor and purity, looking toward marriage as a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman where love and life together belong. Above all we pray that both of you would seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and that whatever the outcome, you would find joy and completeness in Christ.
May the Lord grant you wisdom, patience, and contentment in His love, and may His will be done in your life. We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ, with whom be glory to the Father together with the Holy Spirit, now and ever. Amen.

Beloved of All
Your longing to be loved and cared for is deeply human and God understands that desire. He created us for love, and His Word shows us what real love looks like.
True love in the Bible is not a feeling that we try to create or force in another person. It is agape love, the giving love that Jesus showed when He gave Himself for us as a sacrifice. That love is about giving of yourself for the good of another, not about getting someone to give themselves to you. Walking in that kind of love means following His example, and it stands apart from the way the world often talks about love as simply a strong physical or emotional desire.
The Scriptures also teach that real love cannot be bought or made to happen by our own efforts. You cannot purchase it and you cannot compel another person's heart. God's love for us is freely given, not caused by anything in us, and it is unquenchable. We love because He first loved us. When you look at the cross you see how God has already demonstrated His love once and for all by giving His Son for us while we were still sinners. As you come to know and rest in that love, it answers the deepest need of your heart and creates a response of love back to Him.
For that reason it would not be right to ask God to soften another person's thoughts or to make him fall in love with you or to come to you. Prayer is not a way to control another person's will. Instead God calls us to give thanks always for all things, trusting that all things are working together for good for those who love Him, and to walk in love and in purity before Him. What is becoming for those who belong to Christ is to seek His will above our own wishes.
So my prayer for you is not that God would make this man do what you desire, but that God would fill your heart with the assurance of His own love for you, that you would find your security and joy in Christ, and that you would be able to trust His wise and good plan for your life. I pray that He will give you peace as you surrender this desire to Him, that He will guard your heart and keep you in purity, and that He will work in both of your lives according to His perfect will. If it is His will for your paths to cross in a way that honors Him, He is able to bring it about in His own time and way. Above all I pray that you will grow in knowing how much He loves you and that your heart will respond to that love with trust, thanksgiving and obedience.
May the Lord draw you closer to Himself, teach you to walk in His love, and give you wisdom and contentment as you wait on Him. I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
