We understand that you have strong feelings for this person named Manny, and it's commendable that you want to support him and help him through his struggles. However, let us remember what the Bible tells us about love and relationships, and most importantly, the source of our love and help.
Firstly, we are glad you have mentioned the name of Jesus in your request, as it is through Him that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"
Now, concerning your desire to be with Manny and to love him, we must consider what the Bible says about love. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (WEB) describes love as patient, kind, not envious, not boastful, not arrogant, not rude, not seeking its own way, not easily provoked, and not reckoning up the others' faults. True love bears, believes, hopes, and endures all things.
We must also remember the sanctity of marriage and the proper context for romantic love. While it's not clear from your message whether Manny is a believer or if your relationship is godly, we encourage you to consider 2 Corinthians 6:14 (WEB), which tells us, "Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship do righteousness and iniquity have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?"
Regarding Manny's struggle with depression and suicidal thoughts, it's crucial to encourage him to seek professional help and to trust in God. Psalm 34:18 (WEB) tells us, "Yahweh is near to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Also, remind him of the hope we have in Jesus, as written in Romans 5:3-4 (WEB), "We also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering works perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up Shabrim and Manny to You. Lord, we ask for Your comfort and hope to fill Manny's heart and mind. Guide him to seek professional help and to trust in You. Help Shabrim to love Manny in a way that honors You, and guide their relationship according to Your will. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you, Shabrim, to continue praying for Manny and to trust in God's will for both of your lives. Seek God's guidance in your relationship and ensure that it aligns with biblical principles. If you ever feel overwhelmed, remember that God is always there to support and guide you.
