All of this happened in 30-35 minutes and really scarred me emotionally.

One of my closest friends who lives abroad told me he didn’t know if he could keep going anymore. Then I started getting texts from his account claiming to be his father, telling me he had run away and no one knew where he was.

I genuinely thought I was about to lose him.

I started contacting almost everyone who knew about him to do something, trying to figure out if he was alive or not, the whole time I was in disbelief that this was even happening, scared out of my wits

I then found out he was alive, pretending to be his father, saying all the texts were part of a “test.”

I told him to never do anything like that again, and he apologized and agreed.

I’m still scared for him because he’s made statements saying he harmed himself and sad he can’t do this much longer. I don’t even know what parts of this were real and fake.

I cared about him like a brother, and I genuinely believed he was dead.

I’m emotionally drained and I’m still trying to process why this even happened, I really need to get this off my chest.

Hi everyone, I’m asking for prayer for one of my closest friends.

Today has been one of the most emotionally overwhelming experiences of my life.

My friend told me he was exhausted and didn’t know if he could keep going. During the conversation I genuinely believed I had lost him after receiving messages that made me think he had run away and that his father was speaking through his account. I was genuinely freaking out.

It turned out he was still alive, but he later admitted he had pretended to be his father, apologized for terrifying me, and promised never to do something like that again.

I am still deeply concerned for him as he has told me he’s committed self harm and said he can’t do this much longer.

Please pray for him, he genuinely needs it. I don’t want to lose him.

If you could also pray for me that would be appreciated. All of these events happened in roughly 1/2 an hour and I’m still scarred by it.

Please pray for us.

what kind of bird would you want to see

even though they aren’t Christian I think they are open to learning more, I’ve started up a few conversations about Christianity with them. Their personality is similar to mine, friendly, outgoing, helpful, etc. I don’t want to convert them just to date them, I feel like that’s just wrong. Can someone please give me advice for this situation?
