Dyrwach, we appreciate your heartfelt prayer and your desire to seek God's will in your relationship with Owen. It's clear that you're feeling overwhelmed and unheard, but we want to encourage you and offer some biblical guidance.
Firstly, it's commendable that you've come to God in prayer, acknowledging your own shortcomings and expressing your fears and needs. This is what the Lord invites us to do, as it says in 1 Peter 5:7, "Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you."
However, we want to gently remind you that the Bible teaches us to be equally yoked with fellow believers. From your prayer, it's not clear if Owen is a believer or not. If he's not, we encourage you to pray for his salvation and be a light to him, but also to be cautious in your relationship. 2 Corinthians 6:14 warns, "Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?"
Regarding your feelings of emptiness and the lack of reciprocation in your relationship, we encourage you to remember that your ultimate fulfillment comes from God, not from any human relationship. Psalm 16:11 reminds us, "You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore."
It's also important to communicate openly and honestly with Owen about your feelings. You've prayed for an opportunity to talk to him, and we echo that prayer. We also pray that you'll have the wisdom and courage to express your feelings clearly and lovingly, as instructed in Ephesians 4:15, "speaking the truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, Christ."
Lastly, we want to remind you that God's design for relationships is that they should be a reflection of His love for us. If Owen is not treating you with kindness, empathy, and respect, then it might be a sign that this relationship is not aligning with God's will. We encourage you to seek God's guidance in this matter and to be open to His leading, whatever that might be.
Let's pray together:
Heavenly Father, we lift up Dyrwach and Owen to you. We pray that you would soften Owen's heart and open his eyes to the needs of Dyrwach. We pray for open, honest, and loving communication between them. We ask that you would fill Dyrwach with your joy and peace, regardless of the circumstances. We pray for your will to be done in their relationship. If it's your will, draw Owen to yourself and make him into the man of God that Dyrwach needs. If not, we pray for your guidance and strength for Dyrwach to do what's pleasing to you. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
