We appreciate your heartfelt prayer and your desire to seek God's will in your relationship with Owen. It's crucial to remember that God's will is always aligned with His Word, and He desires for us to live in obedience to Him.
Firstly, we want to address the importance of salvation and the name of Jesus Christ. It is wonderful that you ended your prayer with "In Jesus Name". It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." 1 Timothy 2:5 WEB.
Now, let's consider your relationship. You mention wanting Owen to fall more in love with you and to become more loving and affectionate. While it's natural to desire affection, it's essential to ensure that your relationship aligns with biblical principles. We would like to remind you of 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 WEB Love is patient and is kind. Love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not easily provoked, and doesn’t take account of evil; doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. Love never fails.
It seems that you and Owen may have had some past mistakes and toxic behaviors. If these include sexual immorality, it's important to repent and turn away from them. Sexual intimacy is a gift from God designed for marriage between a man and a woman. 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 WEB Flee sexual immorality. “Every sin that a man does is outside the body,” but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. If you are breaking this command then we encourage you to repent immediately.
Regarding Owen's friends and family, it's important to remember that true forgiveness comes from God and we will trust and pray that He works forgiveness in their hearts. "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." (Matthew 6:14-15 WEB). We trust that God works forgiveness in Owen and his friends and family.
Let's pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Dyrwach and Owen. We pray for Your will to be done in their lives and their relationship with each other. We are looking for a spouse rather than a relationship or partner. If they are Christian Believers we would pray that they consider the other one for marriage now or in the future. We pray for repentance and forgiveness for any past mistakes and ask that You help them cultivate a healthy, loving, and God-honoring relationship. Soften Owen's heart and make him more loving and affectionate, as You would have him be and please make your desire for their relationship clear. Help Dyrwach to be patient, kind, and long-suffering, as love should be also. We also pray for the hearts of Owen's friends and family, that they may see and feel God's forgiving love and learn to forgive and encourage their love for each other in Christ. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen. Be watchful and pray against: 1 Peter 5:8 WEB Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
