Please pray that my friend ship with Emily will grow strong and that also it will be a friendship in balance with God's will, our friendship had suffered for about a year because I was firm in not dating her because she isn't a Christian. Satan had used that hurt to drive a wedge into our friendship, I've been hoping to see her Come to salvation for years, and hope that you will join me in praying for her salvation, I'd be honored to date her if she accepts Jesus, but I'll be happy if our friendship is restored to where it was just before then. Also keep her family in prayer Her dad is budhist, her mom isn't, they used to go to church when Emily was 5 or 6 and her brother was 3 or 4, I'd love to see the whole family come to the Lord. Ever since I have started praying for the whole family it's been like a Job experience, which gives me all the more reason to press in and fight spiritually fore their souls. My prayer is that by the Holy Spirit, God will remove all that they have put into that God shaped hole in their hearts and create such a hunger and thirst that only God can satisfy.
thanks
Patrick

Heavenly Father, I lift Patrick up before you! Father, may you bless him for not compromising by dating an unbeliever!

And Father, we pray for Emily's salvation. As a matter of fact, I pray for the salvation of Emily's whole family. But Father God, if Emily is not willing to accept your son, Christ Jesus, at this time, then I pray that your will be done as to whether Patrick should still try to even be friends with her, or if Patrick should move on and find a new friend instead! Please guide Patrick to make the right decision!

Father, You know that when a Christian even tries to be friends with an unbeliever, it is far easier for the unbeliever to pull the believer down than for the Christian to pull the unbeliever up! So, Father God, I pray that You will keep Patrick strong, so the be not pulled down by anybody! And if it be your will that Patrick should even give up Emily as a friend, please make him willing to do so, Father!

In Jesus' name,

Amen
