Hold On -- For many nights I've prayed for my friend. She is in a mental spiral of pain and fear and sadness. As a man I tried everything to help her and heal her and protect her. She was smoking Marijuana night and day. She thought that it would help block out her guilt and shame. This only made her lose her faith in God and our relationship with each other. I stood up in faith. I asked her to please get proper care and help. This made her angry and defiant. I stood in faith in the belief that God will deliver her from deception and harm. It's been 6 months since I have held her hands. I miss her very much. She may be getting better but I don't know anything about her life right now. I'm not the same without her smile to see. She has been my friend for over 12 years. Tonight prayer is all I have to offer her. I'm holding on to my faith in God and our friendship. Her name is Allie and I want help with prayer for her. Something powerful and supernatural. She has a lot more to live for. May God reach her and heal every person in trouble or struggle with addiction and mental illness. Help me God see this difficulty differently. Help remove the negative thoughts about this situation. Anoint her life in Jesus. Forgive her for being so angry and upset with you. Bring her out of this experience with professional care. Asking for the best outcome soon. In Jesus name I pray Amen.
