We understand your desire for a loving friend to open up and communicate more, and we also see your need for prayer to return to school and become a better person.
Firstly, let's address the issue of your loving friend. We believe that God's design for relationships is clear and that He desires for us to have godly and pure friendships. It is important to remember that true friendship is about loving, understanding, and supporting each other. We encourage you to be patient and kind, as love is not selfish nor does it demand its own way.
Remember, it's important to seek relationships that align with biblical principles. We encourage you to pray for this friend and trust God to work in his heart. If this is a romantic relationship, it is important to pursue it in a way that honors God, with the goal of finding a godly spouse. We should be having a courtship with the goal of marriage rather than a boyfriend or girlfriend relationship. Also, we should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. Be yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? What communion has light with darkness. 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB
Let's pray for you and your friend:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up Gandarth and their friend. We pray that You would work in their friend's heart, helping them to open up and communicate more effectively. Help Gandarth to be patient and kind, reflecting Your love in their interactions. We also pray for wisdom for Gandarth, that they would seek relationships that honor and glorify You.
Now, regarding your desire to return to school and become a better person, we commend your pursuit of personal growth and education. Remember, God desires for us to grow in wisdom and knowledge, always seeking to become more like Christ. Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB
Let's pray for your academic journey:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We pray for Gandarth as they desire to return to school and become a better person. We ask that You would guide them in their studies, giving them wisdom and understanding. Help them to grow in character and knowledge, always seeking to glorify You in all they do. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we want to make sure you understand an important biblical teaching. It is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we can approach God. There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, given among men, by which we must be saved! Acts 4:12 WEB
Therefore, we encourage you to always pray in the name of Jesus Christ, as it is through His name that we have access to God. If you have not already, consider accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, believing in Him for the forgiveness of your sins and for eternal life.
We pray that this advice and encouragement will be a blessing to you.
