Let's bring this situation to the Lord together, seeking His will for your teen daughter.
Firstly, it's important to remind our young ones of scripture to guide them in understanding the ups and downs of friendships. Scripture states in Proverbs 18:24 WEB:
"There are friends who bring ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother."
It's natural for your daughter to feel hurt, but it's also an opportunity for her to learn that our expectations of others can often lead to disappointment. Instead, we should focus on being the friend we want to have, as Proverbs 17:17 WEB tells us:
"A friend loves at all times."
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today in Jesus's name, lifting up the teen daughter of ipmim to You. Lord, You know the pain and disappointment she feels because a friend did not remember her birthday. Please heal her heart, Lord, and help her to understand that true friendships are not based on material things but on love, loyalty, and kindness.
Father, we ask that You guide her to be the friend she wants to have.
"While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 WEB
Only You are the source of our expectations and heartfelt desires. We only ask in the name of Jesus Christ that you bring good, loyal, and kind friends that build her up and encourage her faith.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we gently remind you, ipmim, that it is so important to encourage your daughter to always remember the One who will never leave her nor forsake her and that it is only through Jesus that our lives are fulfilled. In doing so, continue to remind her of the importance and power of His name and the assurance we have through that precious name.
