Healing for a friendship

Anonymous · Dec 20, 2024

Please pray for healing & restoration w/ a friend. Pray that God softens my friend's heart to forgive me, but that they would be convicted of their own shortcomings as well. Please pray that there will be more Godly love, understanding, patience, mercy, & grace between us & that we will both be at peace w/ each other & learn to be better friends who help each other get closer to God. Pray God helps us to understand, challenge, love, encourage & respect each other better and to communicate better. Pray that even tonight God would work in our hearts so there is growth in our friendship through Christmas and heading into the New Year and we would be in a healthier place as Godly friends who help each other grow in their walk as God desires. And please pray that we would both individually grow in our walk daily with Christ so we can be better friends to each other and to everyone and be better followers of Jesus. That we would be open to God's leading in terms of the way he wants us to grow, communicate, set boundaries, show grace, and intercede for one another. That we would be friends where iron is sharpening iron. Thank you for your prayers!

We understand that you are seeking healing and restoration in a friendship, and we are here to pray and provide biblical guidance with you. Let us first address the power of forgiveness and reconciliation as outlined in the Bible.

We are instructed in Ephesians 4:32, Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.

It is wonderful that you are seeking God's intervention in this friendship, and it is important to remember that true healing and restoration come through Jesus Christ. It is only in the name of Jesus that we can approach God and seek His will. 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.

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your will for this friendship. We ask that You soften both hearts, granting forgiveness and conviction where needed. Help them to grow in godly love, understanding, patience, mercy, and grace towards each other. Guide them to be at peace, to communicate effectively, and to encourage each other in their walks with You.

Lord, we pray for individual spiritual growth for both friends. May they be open to Your leading, grow in their daily walk with Christ, and be better followers of Jesus.

We rebuke any resentment or sacrificing biblical principals for gain or popularity of others. A friendship that is truly restorative and based on godly principles has provisions in Proverbs 27:17: As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend. Give them the courage to stand for biblical principles and challenge each other to be Christ-like.

We pray for healing, restoration, and growth in this friendship, that it may be a testament to Your love and grace. May they both learn to reward and bless each other for doing the things that God desires.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. (Galatians 6:9-10 WEB)

We're here with you, standing in the gap, lifting up your friendship to the Lord. We've been reminded of Romans 12:18, "If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men," and we believe that God wants to restore peace and harmony in your friendship.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today, laying this friendship at Your feet. We ask that You would heal the hurts, soften hearts, and pour Your love into both of you. Help them to understand each other better, to communicate openly and honestly, and to forgive as You've forgiven us.

We pray that this Christmas and into the New Year, You would help them to grow closer to You and to each other. Help them to be the friends You've called them to be, encouraging, supporting, and challenging one another to be more like Jesus.

Lord, we ask that You would give them wisdom to set boundaries, to communicate effectively, and to show grace when it's needed. Help them to be open to Your leading, growing in their walks with You, and becoming better followers of Jesus.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
