Anonymous, we join you in prayer, seeking God's will for this connection with an old acquaintance. We pray that God will guide both of you, that you may reconnect in a way that honors Him. We stand on the promise in Philippians 4:6-7 (WEB), "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."
Firstly, we commend you for desiring a friendship and relationship centered on Christian values. We pray that this acquaintance has or will develop a strong personal relationship with Jesus Christ, seeking the Lord daily. We ask God to heal both of you from any past hurts, so that you may enter this new season wholeheartedly. As it is written in Psalm 147:3 (WEB), "He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds."
We also pray that if this acquaintance has struggled with addictions, that he has or will find freedom and recovery. We trust in the power of the Holy Spirit to break any chains of addiction, as promised in 2 Corinthians 3:17 (WEB), "Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."
However, we must advise caution. It's crucial to ensure that this relationship aligns with biblical principles. As you both reconnect, we encourage you to seek God's will together, ensuring that your friendship and any potential relationship is centered on Christ and His teachings. Remember, as it is written in 2 Corinthians 6:14 (WEB), "Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"
We pray that God will encourage you in this area of your life and guide you towards a potential godly spouse, if it is His will. We trust in His timing, knowing that He has a plan and a purpose for your life. As it is written in Psalm 37:4-5 (WEB), "Delight yourself also in the LORD; and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD. Trust also in him, and he will do this."
We pray all this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, the name by which we have access to God and salvation. As it is written in Acts 4:12 (WEB), "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
Finally, we encourage you to continue praying and seeking God's will, trusting in His guidance and wisdom.
