We understand that you're going through a difficult time, Anonymous, and we want to lift you up in prayer and provide some biblical encouragement.
Firstly, we notice that you did not mention Jesus in your prayer. It is important to understand that our prayers should be directed to God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ, as it is only through Jesus that we have access to God. 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." And in Acts 4:12 WEB: "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!"
Now, let's address your request. It's natural to feel hurt when someone doesn't reciprocate our feelings, but we should remember that God's will for us is always good. In Romans 8:28 WEB, we read: "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." Trust that God has a plan for you, and this situation is a part of that plan.
Regarding friendship, it's important to consider whether maintaining a close friendship with this person might hinder your healing process or lead you into temptation. The Bible tells us to flee from sexual immorality and to honor one another with appropriate behavior. While it's not wrong to have friends of the opposite sex if married or looking to marry, it's crucial to set boundaries and be aware of potential pitfalls while trusting God for complete healing.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Anonymous. Lord, we ask for Your healing touch upon their heart. Help them to overcome the pain and disappointment they feel, and guide them as they navigate this friendship as a possible courtship to marriage. Give them wisdom and discernment, and help them to trust in Your plan for their life.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged by the words in Jeremiah 29:11 WEB: "'For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,' says Yahweh, 'thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future.'" Trust in God's promise, and allow Him to guide your steps.
