Shabrim, we understand your longing for love and affection, and we're here to pray with you and guide you according to God's Word.
Firstly, we commend you for seeking prayer in Jesus' name. It's crucial to remember that God desires the best for us, and His will is revealed in His Word. In matters of relationships, God's design is clear: "He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh." (Proverbs 18:22, WEB)
However, we must also consider God's standards for relationships. If Manny is not showing love or interest, it might be a sign that this relationship is not aligned with God's will. God's love for us is warm and caring, as reflected in 1 John 4:19 (WEB), "We love Him, because He first loved us." A godly relationship should reflect this love.
Moreover, as Christians, our relationships should be a pathway to marriage, not merely emotional fulfillment. If Manny is not pursuing you with a mindset towards godly marriage, it might be a red flag. "But because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband." (1 Corinthians 7:2, WEB)
Let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up Shabrim. We pray that You guide her in her relationship with Manny. If Manny is the one You have chosen for her, we ask that You soften his heart, make him express his love and care, and guide him to pursue Shabrim in a godly manner. If he is not Your will for her, we ask that You give Shabrim the strength to let go and wait for the one You have prepared for her. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Shabrim, we encourage you to seek God's will in this relationship. Trust in Him, for He knows what's best for you. "Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and He will give you the desires of your heart." (Psalm 37:4, WEB)
