God, I know You understand the direction of every heart far better than the one who carries it. I never truly understood how someone could feel so close, even when we were raised under different skies, with prayers that may not sound the same. And yet, somehow, within all those differences, I found something that felt like… home. I do not ask You to change him by force, nor do I beg for him to rush toward what I believe in. I only ask for one simple thing— if there is a light You have ever placed within me, if there is any goodness that comes from You that he has once seen, even for a moment, let that be enough to make him wonder. Let that be enough to make him seek. And if one day he finds something that brings peace to his heart… let it come from You, not from me. Because I know— what comes from humans can be questioned, but what comes from You never loses its way.

ABOUT A HEART I DO NOT CONTROL
God, I carry this hope in the quietest way I know. I do not speak it, I do not force it, and often, I even hide it from myself. Because I am afraid— that if I hold it too tightly, I might end up hurting the very things I am meant to protect. But You know, behind all this silence, there is a prayer that keeps repeating without a sound. If he is truly a part of the goodness You have written for me, then bring him closer in the most gentle and rightful way. And if not, do not let this hope turn into a wound.

ABOUT THE HOPE I KEEP IN SILENCE
God, I am beginning to understand that not everything that feels right to me is something I should pursue in my own way. There are things far too vast for me to control their direction— including a heart that was never mine to begin with. I do not know how to introduce You to him without making him feel like a stranger to himself. So I choose silence, and I entrust that part to You. If there is indeed a light that You have prepared for him, let it arrive like the morning— not forced, not demanded, but certain in its coming.
