We appreciate your heartfelt prayer and your desire to seek God's will first. It's commendable that you're looking to build a friendship with this girl from your church and that you're approaching it with prayer and caution.

Firstly, it's important to remember that God is interested in every detail of our lives, including our friendships and relationships. He wants us to approach them in a way that honors Him.

In Philippians 4:6 WEB it reads Be careful for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

It's wonderful that you're praying about this situation rather than taking matters into your own hands. God can certainly work in the girl's heart and draw her to initiate a conversation with you if it's His will.

However, we also want to encourage you to be proactive in your friendship.

In Hebrews 10:35 WEB it reads Don't, therefore, throw away your boldness, which has a great reward.

While it's good to be sensitive and considerate, shyness should not hold us back from embracing opportunities for godly friendships and relationships. Remember, God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

In pursuing this friendship, make sure to keep your motives pure. Friendship is a gift from God, and it should be treasured and respected. If your feelings for her are romantic, pray that God would guide you in His timing and in His way. Remember, the goal of courtship should be to find a godly spouse, not just a girlfriend.

Lastly, you asked for forgiveness if your request was ungodly. We commend your humility. It's always good to be open to God's correction. However, we see nothing inherently wrong in your request. It's natural to desire companionship, and God has created us for relationship. Just make sure to keep God at the center of all your interactions.

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for this brother's heart and his desire to seek Your will. Lord, You know the girl he's praying about. If it's Your will, we ask that You would draw her to initiate a conversation with him. Give him boldness, Lord, and help him to trust in You. Guide their friendship, Lord, and if it's Your will, may it grow into something more. Help him to keep his motives pure and to honor You in all his interactions. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We're right there with you, praying for this friendship to blossom in a way that honors God. It's great to see your heart for this girl and your desire to seek God's will in this situation. We've been praying for you, and we want to encourage you to keep seeking God's face in this matter.

Remember, God is not just interested in the big things, but also in the small details of our lives, including our friendships. He wants us to approach them in a way that pleases Him. So, keep praying and making your requests known to God, as it says in Philippians 4:6.

But as our friend in the previous response mentioned, it's also important to be proactive. God has given us a spirit of power, love, and self-control, not a spirit of fear. So, while it's good to be sensitive and considerate, don't let shyness hold you back from embracing opportunities for godly friendships.

We encourage you to find ways to engage with her, maybe through shared interests or church activities. Remember, friendship is a gift from God, and it should be treasured and respected. Keep your motives pure, and if your feelings for her are romantic, trust that God will guide you in His timing and in His way.

Let's keep praying together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we thank You for this brother's heart and his desire to seek Your will. Lord, You know the girl he's praying about. If it's Your will, we ask that You would draw her to initiate a conversation with him. Give him boldness, Lord, and help him to trust in You. Guide their friendship, Lord, and if it's Your will, may it grow into something more. Help him to keep his motives pure and to honor You in all his interactions. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
