I pray that you would strengthen her to keep this commitment to herself and to you that you may work on the heart of this man with one less distraction. Father stir up his heart and show him who you are! Show him the reality of your power and the deep and eternal meaning of your love. Give him no place to turn Father but to you...distance him from all of his female friends Father that he may have no distractions. Humble him down to the point where he feels the weight of conviction of his being a sinner and crys out for your Son Jesus for mercy and for him to enter his heart and guide his life. Father...teach this man to be faithful beginning with you...to be respectful of others beginning with you and your Son! Father please in your loving kindness...save this man! In Jesus name...Amen!

Do you think my friend will reach out to me? We plan to hang out together as a group when a few of my friends come back to visit from another college--they used to attend and we wanted to invite him. I am backing off for the week and I know I didn't make that clear in my last reply--do you think he will reach out to me? It seems so silly to ask, but I really care about him and I really want to continue my friendship...I don't want to end it simply because of a mishap due to his immaturity--and perhaps a little of my own. I'm not angry...I don't want to ever seem like that in my responses. I just wonder--I hope that the Lord will touch him so he will--not so much to me, but so that I can still have an influence. I want him to see Jesus through me--I don't think he knows any other christians, besides his best friend, who is either a) backslidden or b) not saved. (not really my place to judge which) Would you pray for him not to fade away...maybe it's silly. I think I have always been afraid of that, but the Lord has shown me that he does care and that he is my friend, even in hard times like this. I just think I freak out and panic. I'm so afraid of losing him, but I guess I should remember that I haven't. The Lord has touched me for this man--I believe the Lord spoke to me about him before I met him (it's hard to explain--I'm not proclaiming that I was psychic or that I knew consciously... I added up the pieces of the puzzle afterwards.) Before I knew him, something told me strongly to pay attention to something on Kirk Cameron that was specifically speaking out against Mormonism and some of their wrong beliefs. It was almost striking...there were some other things, but that was the most relevent to me.
