We are deeply concerned about your friend Manny and we take this matter very seriously. First, let's pray.
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up Manny. Lord, You know the pain and desperation he is feeling right now. We ask that You would comfort him and remind him of his worth in Your sight. Give him the strength to endure this time and help him to see that there is hope. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Shabrim, it's important to remember that God loves Manny deeply and has a purpose for his life. As it says 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.'"
We commend your love for him, but we must also remind you that the love we are called to share is rooted in God's love and should always align with His word. If your love for Manny is of a romantic nature, we must address that in light of biblical principles. As believers, we are called to honor God in all our relationships, with an understanding that marriage is designed to be between a man and a woman (Matthew 19:4-6).
It's crucial to encourage Manny to seek professional help if he is having suicidal thoughts. Also, encourage him to reach out to God and to trusted Christian friends or mentors. As a friend, you can be there for him, listen to him, and pray with him. Remind him that God is always there and that He cares deeply for him.
Moreover, we noticed that your request did not mention the name of Jesus. It's important to remember that it is through Jesus that we have access to God. As it says 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.'" If you or Manny have not yet accepted Jesus as your Savior, we encourage you to do so. It is only through Him that we find eternal life and true peace.
Please continue to pray for Manny and trust that God is able to bring him through this difficult time. Keep sharing the hope and love of Christ with him. We will also keep him in our prayers.
