Update--

I recently was upset at the idea of my friend going out on a date with another woman. I was torn apart, once again being showered in my own selfish wants and desires. However, a christian friend of mine stopped me from ending the friendship--she made the point that I may be the one God wants to reach him.

I read someone else's prayer request, who is going through something similar and I realized how selfish I have been. I want to re-direct my focus on the Lord and for this young man's salvation. Please continue to be in prayer for him and for the Lord to soften his heart so that he would be receptive of the salvation message. Also, pray for me, to be the witness I need to be, in spite of my selfish desire to be with this man. Only God knows the future and I could get what I want, but that wouldn't matter if I got what I wanted and this man went to hell. His soul isn't worth that. So please pray for us--that he will come to know the Lord and while the choice is ultimately up to him, I believe the Lord can still work miracles and I believe that if the Lord is allowed to work through me, he will get saved.

He seems to be inquisitive and although he doesn't accept what he calls, "the saved thing," I believe it's due to his incorrect belief that we can work our way to heaven in combination with repentence. Please pray that God will lift the blinds from his eyes that Satan has put up and that he will see God's wonderful truth. We cannot force him to be saved, but we can pray that his heart would be soft enough to hear and to listen and we can pray that the Lord would protect the seeds sown from being plucked up by the devil.

I thank you for your prayers in advanced.
Sincerely,

Lost Love.
