Please Lord, help me to be strong. I am so in love with my friend, and I'm hurting worse than I ever have. He needs the Lord...he told me recently that he feels like a robot, that he hasn't been in love for at least five years. I think it may be a defense mechanism so that he doesn't feel the pain of the past, but I also believe it's because he doesn't have You. He needs You, Lord and I've done this to myself. We did this to each other. I wonder how we could have...how I could have allowed it. I just want him to see You, to see me...please change his heart. It's not about having a boyfriend, but it's about not having to see him struggle, scramble through life. I want him to have the best, I want to share my life with him, but most of all, I want to share You. You're the One who can change everything, Who can show him the way, to show him to feel whole again. Please, Lord...give me strength. Show him Your will, open his heart. I pray this wouldn't be the end of the road, that You would lead us down the path You would have us to travel, to the promised land where there is much blessing. Have Your will and way, Lord. In Christ's name I pray. Amen.
