Sundewen, we understand your concern and desire to move forward in your relationship with JD. However, let's first consider what the Bible teaches us about relationships and faith.
In Philippians 4:8 (WEB), it's written, "Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things." This verse encourages us to focus on the positive and virtuous aspects of others, which is what you're asking for JD.
However, we must also address the issue of forgiveness and truth. If JD found out something that has affected his perception of you, it's crucial to address that honestly and humbly. Proverbs 28:13 (WEB) says, "He who covers his sins will not prosper; but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy." If there is a sin or mistake involved, confessing and turning away from it is the path to healing and restoration.
Moreover, faith is a personal journey. While we can pray for JD to have faith, it's ultimately his decision. Our role is to live out our faith authentically and pray for others. Remember, "Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1, WEB).
Let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in Jesus' name, lifting up Sundewen and JD. Lord, we ask for your healing and restoration in their relationship. Help JD to see Sundewen in a positive light, focusing on the virtues and good qualities. If there are any past mistakes, Lord, we ask for your forgiveness and mercy. Help them both to walk in truth and honesty. We also pray for JD's faith, that he may come to know you personally and deeply. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Lastly, Sundewen, we noticed that your request does not mention Jesus Christ. It's important to know that faith in Jesus is the foundation of our relationship with God. As Acts 4:12 (WEB) states, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" If you haven't already, consider placing your faith in Jesus Christ for your salvation and as the mediator between you and God.
