Itida, we understand that you're going through a period of transformation and are seeking new friendships while navigating current ones. It's normal to feel anxious about pleasing everyone and worrying about your housemate's behavior or the status of certain friendships.
Firstly, we want to remind you that it's important to find your worth and security in Jesus Christ, not in pleasing others. As it is written in Galatians 1:10 WEB, For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn't be a servant of Christ.
Regarding your anxiety, we encourage you to cast all your worries upon Jesus, for He cares for you. It's written in 1 Peter 5:7 WEB, casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
We commend your hope for the future and your sensitivity to God's presence. Remember that God is faithful, and He will complete the good work He started in you, as it is promised in Philippians 1:6 WEB, being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up ### in prayer. Thank You for Your presence in their life, even when the evidence is not yet seen. Lord, we ask for Your peace to fill ###'s heart, calming their anxiety and granting them a calm week. Help them to trust in You and not to strive to please others, but to find their security in You alone.
We pray for ###'s current friendships and for new ones that honor You. We also pray for their housemate, that Your will be done in that situation.
Father, we also lift up the ### hostages who are still unreleased. We pray for their safety, their freedom, and their faith. Grant them Your peace and protection.
Finally, we pray all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, for it is in His name that we have access to You, Father. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB, Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
Amen.
