how long are you gonna let him turn away from You? God, i don't know if he was ever truly Yours, but why can't he be Yours now? it's times like these when i hate the free will You've given to us. i almost wish You would force us to love You. but at the same time i am so grateful You give us the ability to choose for ourselves. i just wish he would choose You. when i tell him i'm praying for him, he says, "good luck." when i invite him to church, he says, "probably not, i'm pretty content with my life." oh, how it breaks my heart! i know prayer is powerful, and i know that it's Your will that all come to You. how i hope and pray he isn't one who will never want to be Yours. how i hope and pray this is just a spell and that he will run to the Shepherd eventually. can't You just break him down now and save a lot of people from this heartache?
i have faith in You, You are sovereign and in control of everything. change his heart, make it clean. forgive him of his sins, and transform him into a new person. make him see that the life he is so content with is a life of false, hurtful feelings and beliefs.
use me however You will. place people in his life that reflect Your love.
his soul will always be a burden on my soul. Lord, capture his heart. i want You to receive glory from him.
