I fell in love with a man, who is not saved and who eventually did not return feelings for me. In the beginning, we had mutual feelings for one another and it seemed as though we were headed towards a relationship. He went to church with me twice throughout our time together and we have been good friends through all of this. However, at one point, his feelings for me changed and he no longer wanted to become my boyfriend. He says he wants to remain friends, but that at times has been one-sided, although I believe he still cares for me (that could be due to the fact that he doesn't want to lead me on). My prayer is that God would open the door to his life for salvation and that his heart would be softened to receive Christ as his personal savior. I also pray for myself to fall in love with the man God would have me to be with, whether it is the man I am currently in love with or not. Without God, I know that it is impossible to be with him and I am trying to let go, although it is the most difficult thing I think I have ever had to do. I want to be his friend, but I have to back off to keep from continuing on in constant pain. I pray that God would intervene, give him direction in his life, and give him a wake-up call so that he does not end up losing his soul or the quality of life that God has planned for him. I especially pray for peace to continue to abound in my heart, as the Lord has been with me in my prayers thus far. I just pray to heal, to find what God wants for me, and that He can take care of the rest--that He can make something good from what has been a bad situation. Thank you for your prayers and support.

Lord,

Heal this woman's heart Father. Rejection of love when we give it is very hard to accept and very painful. Give her peace and restore her joy. Bring to her the man you would have her to build a life with and with whom glory will be given to you.

Amen!

Dear Adoring1,

I just wanted to thank you for praying for me. I saw that someone else was arguing with you, who had a similar problem...in that she isn't sure of the Lord's will (well, she thinks that the Lord's will is to have a man that may or may not be his will). I don't mean to attach her, but I think you are right.

God will lead me to the right man and I saw that in how you were led to pray. I thank you for your prayers, because you have been an encouragement to me.

Just keep praying for his salvation--I want this situation to work for good and I know that God can do just that.

Thank you,
author of Lost Love

Lord,

Please remember the man that this guest refers to. Bring him to the knowledge and full relationship with you.

Amen!

Lost Love,

I do not know if the man you care for is the man God has for you or not. I do know that it is very difficult for those that are unequally yoked to walk together and agree. I was led to pray as you referenced for you to be guided to the man God has for you...who he may be only God knows...but be open, be prayerful and be vigilant in looking for the fruit. God enjoys blessing us...wait on the Lord and be of good courage. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and he will grant you the desires of your heart.


Amen!

The man you speak of, if he is truely a Christian may not be spiritually mature. I believe that a man that is ready to marry is not dishonest, but walks steadily & upright. Read proverbs if you are concerned of his treatment. A true Christian has walked in the desert of life & matures. Someone not mature in Christ will often side step difficulty, seeking only that which is pleasing to themselves.
Remain strong in Christ & you will not have to worry, live by HIS WORD & listen to HIS VOICE.

If he is not saved, you are unequally yoked with this man.
I pray you will be strong & find peace remembering that God is our Spouse, we are never alone.

Update-

I have more peace about my situation than I did before. I am trusting in the Lord to get me through this and I am not depressed every day, like I was before. However, if you would please continue to pray for my friend. I want him to be saved and have been asking the Lord to open the door to his salvation. If you could pray for that as well, and I am also asking for the restoration of our friendship. I feel as if we may drift apart if the Lord doesn't intervene...I don't want to lose my friend. He could be "the one" if he got saved, but I would be content with him being saved and having the Lord's direction in his life. That's Who I put my hope in now--and not so much love and relationships. That will come after.

Please pray for his salvation and the restoration of our friendship--and if the Lord is willing, I may end up in a relationship--if not, I still have a great friend to look forward to at the very least.

Thank you.

Father,

Please convict the heart of this guest's friend to know that he needs a savior and lead him into full union with your son. In the name of Jesus...Amen!

Update--

I communicated with the man referred to in this prayer request. He still is not saved--as far as I could tell. However, please keep him in your prayers. I believe that the Lord is softening his heart and that He is seeking after him so that he would be saved. I ask that you would pray for him to be saved and soon and that he would become a faithful servant, pleasing to the Lord in every way.

Thank you for your prayers and support.
