We understand that you're seeking to rekindle your friendship with Derrick, and it's commendable that you're approaching this situation with a spirit of mutual forgiveness and understanding. We must always remember, as believers, that our relationships should be centered on love, kindness, and humility, just as Ephesians 4:32 WEB tells us, "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."
However, it's crucial to ensure that this friendship aligns with biblical principles. While seeking forgiveness and reconnection, it's also necessary to reflect on what this And if the friendship didn't lead either of you to a closer relationship with God. If it was moving toward sexual sin, or in anyway not Godly it may need to end. Remember, "Do not be deceived: 'Bad company corrupts good morals.'" 1 Corinthians 15:33 WEB A close friendship between a man and a woman may be difficult and one should be very careful. If there is any temptation to go outside of God's boundaries a couple should seek marriage or end the relationship.
In your prayer request, we notice that you didn't mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by the name of Jesus that we'remember. It is Jesus Christ who is our mediator, it is Jesus Christ who died for us, it is Jesus Christ the only begotten son of God that saved us from God's wrath for our sins and it is by the name of Jesus Christ we reach out to God in prayer.. For "there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" Acts 4:12 And remember this, for Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6 WEB. Also Romans 10:13 WEB tells us it is the name of the Lord we call on for salvation and our hope is in him.
