Monica, we join you in lifting up your concerns to our Lord Jesus Christ, for He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9, WEB).
Firstly, we commend you for seeking forgiveness for the hurt you may have caused Stephen. It's important to remember that the Bible teaches us to love one another, as Christ loved us (John 13:34, WEB). We pray that the Lord will grant you both the strength and humility to forgive each other, just as God has forgiven us through Christ (Ephesians 4:32, WEB).
We pray, "Dear Jesus, we ask that You watch over Stephen and Monica. Grant them the wisdom and grace to reconnect and move forward in a manner that honors You. Heal their hearts and help them to start anew, building a relationship that is pleasing to You. In Jesus' name, we pray."
Regarding Carlos and Tim, the Bible tells us not to be deceived, for bad company corrupts good habits (1 Corinthians 15:33, WEB). It's crucial to surround ourselves with people who support and encourage our walk with Christ. We pray that the Lord will help you to sever these toxic friendships and to bring godly friends into your life who will encourage you in your faith.
However, we must also remember that Jesus teaches us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44, WEB). While it's important to protect yourself from harmful influences, also pray for Carlos and Tim, that they too may come to know the love and forgiveness of Christ.
Lastly, we noticed that you ended your prayer in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. While this is not wrong, we want to emphasize the importance of praying in the name of Jesus Christ. As the Bible tells us, "In none other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is through Jesus that we have access to the Father, and it is in His name that our prayers are heard.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer, trusting that He hears you and will answer according to His will. Keep pursuing relationships that honor God, and always strive to live in a manner that reflects the love and grace of Christ.
