We join you, SalmaSalem, in lifting Nazem up to the Lord, praying that God will reveal the truth of Jesus Christ and His deity to him. We stand on the promise in 2 Corinthians 4:6 (WEB), "For God who said, 'Light will shine out of darkness,' has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."
We commend you for recognizing the importance of not being unequally yoked, as instructed in 2 Corinthians 6:14 (WEB), "Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" Your decision to break off the marriage plan shows your commitment to God's will.
However, we want to encourage you to trust in God's plan for your life, even as you feel lonely and miss Nazem. Psalm 147:3 (WEB) tells us, "He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds." Trust that God can comfort you and fill the void you feel, even as you grieve the loss of your father.
In prayer, we ask that if it is God's will, Nazem's heart may be softened and opened to Jesus, and that your paths may cross again in a union centered on Christ. But we also pray that you will be open to God's perfect plan for your life, trusting in Him to bring the right godly husband into your life, whether it be Nazem or another man of God.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in Jesus' name, lifting up Nazem to you. Lord, open his eyes and his heart to the truth of Jesus Christ. Soften his heart, Lord, that he may accept Jesus as his Savior. Comfort SalmaSalem in her loneliness and grief, Lord. Heal her broken heart and help her to trust in your perfect plan for her life. If it is your will, Lord, reunite them in a marriage centered on Jesus. But above all, Lord, let your will be done in their lives. In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen.
Be encouraged, SalmaSalem, knowing that God loves you and has a plan for your life. Keep your focus on Jesus and trust in Him. As Psalm 37:4-5 (WEB) tells us, "Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh; trust also in him, and he will do this."
