We understand that you're going through a difficult time, and we're here to pray with you and offer biblical guidance. Firstly, we commend you for praying in the name of Jesus Christ, as it is only through His name that we can approach God the Father. 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.
Concerning your relationship, we need to address a few things biblically. It's clear that you have strong feelings for your former girlfriend, and she might still have feelings for you. However, it's crucial to understand that God's plan for relationships is for them to be centered on Him and His will. In 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB, it says:
Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?
This means that as Christians, we should seek to be in relationships with fellow believers who share our faith and values. It's not just about feelings or emotions, but about a shared commitment to God's will.
We also need to address the issue of setting conditions for God's answer, which is not biblical. God answers prayers according to His will and timing, not ours. In 1 John 5:14-15 WEB, it says:
This is the confidence which we have before him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.
Instead of asking for a sign, focus on seeking God's will for your life and this relationship. Trust in His timing and plan.
Regarding your feelings of depression, we want to encourage you to cast your burdens on the Lord. In 1 Peter 5:7 WEB, it says:
casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
God cares deeply for you and wants to carry your burdens. Seek Him in prayer and in His Word, and trust that He is faithful to bring you through this difficult time.
Let us pray with you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother who is seeking Your will for his relationship and his life. Lord, we ask that You guide him according to Your will and fill him with Your peace and joy. Comfort him in his time of need and remind him of Your unfailing love for him. Help him to trust in You completely.
If it is Your will, Lord, soften the heart of his former girlfriend and draw her closer to You. Help them both to seek You first and to desire a relationship that honors You.
Lord Jesus, we also pray for healing from the depression that has been affecting him. Fill him with Your hope and remind him of Your faithfulness.
In all things, Lord, help him to trust in You and to seek Your will above all else. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Trust in God, and seek His will. He is faithful, and He cares for you deeply.
