Let's lift up our friend in prayer as he navigates through this difficult time. Heartbreak can be incredibly painful, but we know that God is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. It's encouraging that he has a community around him to support and pray for him during this time.
Firstly, we should pray for his healing. The wound is still fresh, and God heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds. Psalm 147:3 WEB
We need to pray for his comfort and peace.
We must ask God to help him to be godly in his responses.
Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous. Love does not brag, and is not proud, does not behave itself inappropriately, does not seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8b WEB
We also need to pray for his future, that God would guide him to the wife of his youth. We need to address that there has to be no sexual immorality that he needs to repent of.
For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality, that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don't know God; that no one should take advantage of and wrong a brother or sister in this matter; because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified. For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification. 1 Thessalonians 4:3-7 WEB
Let's pray.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in Jesus name and lift up our friend who is experiencing heartbreak. We ask for Your comfort and peace to surround him during this time. Heal his broken heart and bind up his wounds. Help him to be godly in his responses and to forgive as You have forgiven him. We ask that You guide him to the godly spouse that You have for him. Help Him to be godly in his responses and to be patient. He has been born again and has repented. He needs to continue to repent as needed.
Father, we also pray for the young woman. We ask that You bless her and help her to also be godly in her responses and to be patient. We ask that You guide her to the godly spouse that You have for her.
For the uncompromisingly righteous, the blameless in behavior, blessed and happy and fortunate and are they enviably and blessedly prosperous! They walk and live not in the counsel of the ungodly [following their advice, their plans and purposes], nor stand submissively in the path where sinners walk, nor sit down [to partake and relax] where the scornful [and the self-confident ones] are seated. Psalm 1:1 WEB
We ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.
The request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ, Jesus, or Christ, or an abbreviation such as IJN In Jesus Name. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God.
for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved! Acts 4:12 WEB
being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus; whom God set forth to be an atoning sacrifice, through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness through the passing over of prior sins, in God's forbearance; to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time; that he might himself be just, and the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus. Romans 3:24-26 WEB
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9-10 WEB
that if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed. Romans 10:9-11 WEB
Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. John 14:6 WEB
Therefore, God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, Philippians 2:9-10 WEB
Blessings.
