I too have loved a dear friend for 10 years. I have prayed for God to choose the right person for me. Recently, my friend wanted to take our friendship to the next step; however, we have many obstacles to overcome for us to be together. Also, his mother recently passed away. Anyway, my prayer for you is that God will find that perfect person according to his will… whether it be this friend or someone else. “Lord, please provide the perfect mate for this person. If it’s your will to have this friendship advance, then Lord, open this friend’s eyes and heart; otherwise, supply the mate this person should be with according to your will. In Jesus’ name, Amen.â€
