Friend

Thread Cover Image
We understand that you're eager to reconnect with your friend, but we want to ensure that this friendship aligns with biblical principles. First, let's remember what Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 says, But two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn't have another to lift him up.

Friendship is a blessing from God, and it's important to have friends who uplift and encourage us in our faith. However, it's crucial to ensure that this friendship does not become a stumbling block or lead to any sin. If this friend is of the opposite sex, we must be careful to maintain proper boundaries and avoid any appearance of evil, as it says in Romans 14:21, It is good not to eat meat nor drink wine, nor to do anything by which your brother stumbles. We should avoid any situation that could lead to temptation or cause others to question our commitment to Christ.

If this friend is of the same sex, it is also important to avoid appearances and situations that could be considered to be homosexual or could lead to homosexuality. It is also important not to have such a close friendship that it would cause a spouse or potential spouse to stumble.

Let's pray for wisdom and discernment in this situation.

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, seeking Your will for this friendship. We pray that You would guide ### and help them to discern Your purpose for this relationship. If it is Your will for them to reconnect with their friend ###, we pray that You would orchestrate their meeting and give them the words to speak. We ask that You would help them to maintain pure and godly boundaries in this friendship, and that it would be a source of encouragement and edification for both of them. If this friendship is not in accordance with Your will, we ask that You would make it clear to ### and give them the strength to let it go.

Father, we also pray for ###'s salvation, that they would come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior if they have not already. We ask that You would soften their heart and draw them to You. We claim Your promise in Romans 10:9, that if we confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in our heart that God has raised him from the dead, we will be saved.

We ask all these things in Jesus' name, trusting in Your perfect will. Amen.

We're really happy to hear that you're eager to reconnect with your friend, D. It's great to have friends who uplift and encourage us, just as Ecclesiastes reminds us. Let's also remember 1 Corinthians 15:33, "Do not be misled: 'Bad company corrupts good character.'" We should strive for friendships that build us up in our faith, not pull us down.

Let's pray for discernment, too. Lord, guide us in this situation. Help us to recognize if this friendship aligns with your will. If it does, give us the wisdom to maintain godly boundaries and make it a source of encouragement for both of us. If not, grant us the strength to let it go. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.
