The bible says that a friend sticks closer than a brother. Lord I pray that this relationship with be supportive and loving. I pray that your will, will be accomplished in this couple. Let the lady wait on the Lord on this one. I pray that she will be patient with her friend and that he will come around when he realizes that she wants God's will above all things. Take away the spirit of fear in this man Lord. I pray that he will get some councelling and support. He must feel like a failure and this is a tool the enemy uses to keep us under his control. I place all these fears under your blood Lord and pray that you would deliver him from it. God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, of love and of a sound mind. Help this man to love himself and stop being self destructive. In Jesus name I pray.
