Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you on behalf of our anonymous friend, who desires to bear fruit that is pleasing to you. Lord, we ask that you would guide and teach them how to produce fruit in their life that aligns with your will. Help them to understand that it is not by their own efforts or works, but by abiding in you and allowing your life to flow through them.
In John 15:5, Jesus said, "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." Lord, we pray that our friend would abide in you, seeking your presence and relying on your strength. May they surrender their own desires and plans, and instead, seek first your kingdom and righteousness.
Father, we ask for the grace to prioritize prayer, time in your Word, and fellowship with Jesus. Help our friend to develop a deep hunger for your presence and a passion for seeking you above all else. As they draw near to you, may you draw near to them and reveal the areas in their life where they can bear fruit that remains.
We also pray against any feelings of ineffectiveness or discouragement. Remind our friend that their worth and effectiveness are not based on their own achievements, but on their identity in Christ. Help them to trust in your promises, knowing that when they ask in Jesus' name, you will give them what they need.
Lord, we thank you for hearing our prayer and for your faithfulness to answer. May our friend experience the joy and fulfillment that comes from bearing fruit that brings glory to your name. In Jesus' name, we pray.
Amen.
