You are looking at this in the wrong light. It's a privilege to be able to have the opportunity to share the gospel with others and she is willing. The issue here seems to be whether you want to go down the road with her and see her come out the other end as a new creature in Christ and that can be like the proverb about the man who builds a tower, whether he is able to finish it. The highest rate of salvation comes from "Friendship evangelism. Sometimes God puts people on our paths to show us how to extend Christ's love toward those who live in darkness. I will be praying for Jenny.


Thank you for your answer
The problem is that I have to watch Jenny get drunk and take Jesus name in vain frequently, gossip etc.. This doesn't shock me but I feel weighed down in her company. I have been told I need to guard my heart.
I have spent many many years praying for her and in her company- but it is now exhausting me. Of course I would love to see it finished but it seems nothing is getting through and I am not sure God wants me to be so heavy hearted. When I share the treasures of the gospel with her, the lack of reaction feels like it is being trampled on in a subtle way. It is also said that we should wipe the dust of our feet- but I have persevered- maybe too long. It is indeed a privilege to share the gospel with the unsaved and I am well aware of this- it is wonderful that other friends and strangers have listened and ask and enquire and share- it is truly a joy. But the reason I asked for prayer is not only for Jenny but also for myself- because this is getting me down- I have come up against a wall of steel. I feel trapped for some reason.
I hope you are able to understand the situation more now and maybe you can pray for both of us. I would truly appreciate it.
