We understand that you're feeling left out and desire friends from your Bible group who want to spend time with you and serve Christ together. First, we want to remind you that you are valuable and loved by God. He says in Psalm 139:14 WEB, I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your feelings of isolation are valid, but we want to encourage you to continue trusting in God and His plan for your life.
In Proverbs 18:24 WEB, it says that there are friends who stick closer than a brother. We pray that God provides you with such friends, brothers, and sisters in Christ who will support you and encourage you in your walk with Him. We pray that Jesus Christ will be at the center of these friendships, as He promised in Matthew 18:20 WEB, For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them.
However, we want to remind you that our worth is not determined by how others treat us. In John 15:13 WEB Jesus says Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. Jesus loved us sacrificially even when we were unlovable. He laid down His life for us.
We also want to encourage you to be proactive in your friendships. In Philippians 2:3-4 WEB, it says, Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests but also to the interests of others.
As you seek friends, make sure to be a friend to others. Invite them to spend time with you, and show genuine interest in their lives. Remember, the Bible tells us in James 4:8 WEB Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. As you draw near to God, He will guide you in your friendships and provide you with the community you desire.
We also must remind you to make sure to always pray to God only through the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by this name that we can have access to God. Acts 4:12 WEB Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up Cassie12. Lord, You know the feelings of isolation and loneliness that they are experiencing. We pray, Father, that You would comfort Cassie12 and remind them of their worth in Your eyes.
Lord, we ask that You would provide Cassie12 with godly friends who want to spend time with them and serve You together. We pray that these friendships would be centred around You, Lord Jesus, and that they would encourage and support each other in their walks with You.
Help Cassie12 to be proactive in their friendships, Lord, and to be a true friend to others. Guide them by Your Holy Spirit, and draw them close to You.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
