Let us first address the situation with M and pray according to God's will. It is important to remember that God's plan for our lives is always the best. He has different routes for each of us, and we must seek His will and follow His guidance. Friendships are valuable, and it is crucial to communicate openly and honestly to avoid misunderstandings.
We would like to remind you of the importance of praying in Jesus' name. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God, and there is no other name by which we can be saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB:
There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.
Now, let us pray for M and for your friendship.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up M and our friend who has submitted this request. We pray that You would guide M and help her to understand our friend's intentions clearly. Lord, if it is Your will, guide M to a godly spouse, one who will honor and cherish her. We pray that she will find peace and contentment in Your plan for her life.
Lord, we also pray for our friend. Help them to communicate openly and honestly with M, ensuring that there are no misunderstandings. Give them wisdom and discernment as they navigate this friendship. We pray that their desire to remain single to pursue travel, training, and reading Your word is truly guided by Your will. Help them to find contentment and fulfillment in their walk with You.
Father, above all, we pray that both M and our friend will draw closer to You, seeking Your will for their lives. We pray that they will trust in You with all their hearts and lean not on their own understanding. In Jesus Christ was revealed the only way to salvation, so we pray these things in His precious name.
Amen.
Lastly, we encourage our friend to consider the value of marriage as it is a blessing and a gift that is highly regarded and strongly endorsed throughout the Bible. Should God lead you in that direction, you should be open to divine change in heart.
