James 5:16 (New American Standard Bible)
Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.
1 Peter 4:8 (New International Version)
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
Romans 13:8 (New Living Translation)
Owe nothing to anyone--except to your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God's law.

One of the things I'm noticing is the fact that there are so many opportunities to pray for other people. There was a time when I would pray about something and forget what it was (or for whom) I prayed for. But as of lately, God has been teaching me how to be sensitive to others; one of the ways God is teaching me is by showing me how to love others through my prayers.
Praying for others, whether or not they asked me to do so, is a way I show my love for others and for God. When I pray, I am showing God that I care about what He cares about, which is people and their wellbeing. I am also helping other people receive what it is they need.
I have a responsibility (as do all other Christians) to love others as Christ would. Jesus prayed for others, that they would be healed, that they would have peace, that they would have strength and self-control in times of temptation. Likewise, I have to pray for others, and do so with a heart that expects change. By faith I pray that things will change, and by faith I thank God for the new things is doing in His people's lives.
Are you dating someone? Or looking to do so in the future?

Meditate on these scriptures for understanding and guidance!
It's sooo important that you ask God for guidance concerning dating. And in doing so, He will lead you according to His will, which enables all things to work out for your good and His glory!
In times when I felt (or feel) confused or questioning, I re-read these words to redirect my mind and thoughts (and subsequently my emotions and actions). These words helped me to think like God would concerning people I was conversing with. As a result, I learned (and am learning) to listen to God's voice and learned to be obedient to His instructions (and love-filled restrictions at times).
After meditating, I pray to God according to His words, and I cast my cares upon Him. Then the peace of God covers me, and I'm able to enjoy the time He's given me w/o worry and anxiety. I didn't waste a lot of time engaging in conversations and relationships that God didn't approve of! Equally important, I didn't develop emotional ties or certain relationships with people that wasn't in God's will for me at that time.
That's an example of how these scriptures have (and are) helping me; I recommend these scriptures to all that are dating or seeking to date in the future.
