We understand that you have a deep care for this person and wish for their happiness and clarity. However, it's important to remember that our happiness comes from the Lord and that He is the source. We are concerned about a few things you mentioned and want to address them in love and truth.
Firstly, you mentioned that you feel you are not devoted enough in your prayers. Remember, the Lord hears our prayers and He knows our hearts. It is not about the eloquence of our prayers or the amount of time we spend, but about the sincerity and faith behind them. As it is written in Hebrews 11:6, "Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him."
Secondly, you mentioned that you both plan to do something irreversible. We want to strongly advise against any actions that may go against biblical principles. If this action is something that is against God's word, we urge you to repent and turn away from it. Remember, God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts. As it is written in Isaiah 55:8-9, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,' says Yahweh. 'For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.'"
Lastly, you asked for good luck. As believers, we do not rely on luck, but on the grace and mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ. Luck is a concept that is not biblical, but trusting in the Lord's will and plan for our lives is. As it is written in Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
The desire for happiness for others is not necessarily bad, but the desire for God's will to be done and for Him to be glorified is what should come first. We are concerned that you did not explicitly say you were praying in Jesus' name, which is the only way to the Father. It is written: "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 Please let us know if you do not have a relationship with Jesus Christ and believe in Him. If not, we will be glad to pray with you and show you how to be saved.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up this person who is deeply cared for by the one who has submitted this request. We pray that You would fill them with Your joy and clarity, and that Your will would be done in their life. We ask that You would guide them in Your truth, and that You would help them to walk in Your ways. We pray for conviction and forgiveness for any plans or actions that may be against Your will. We ask for Your mercy and grace to be upon them.
We also pray for the one who has submitted this request. We ask that You would fill them with Your strength and guidance, and that You would help them to trust in You and Your plan for their life. We pray that You would draw them close to You, that Your will be done in their life. We pray that You would open their heart and mind to the gospel of Jesus Christ, and if they do not already know You, we ask that You would reveal Yourself to them and that they would come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ and receive salvation.
We ask all of this in Jesus name and by His blood.
Amen.
