We understand your concern for your best friend and we join you in praying for his deliverance and discernment. It's important to remember that God's will is for us to be holy and set apart, especially in our relationships. As it is written in 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB, "Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"
Your friend's relationship seems to be causing him more harm than good, isolating him from his support system and affecting his mental well-being. This is not God's intention for him. In Proverbs 13:20 WEB, it says, "He who walks with wise men will be wise, but he who keeps company with fools will be broken."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up our friend's best friend to You. Lord, we ask that You open his eyes to see the destructive path he is on. We pray that You give him the strength to break free from this unhealthy bond, and that You heal his heart and mind. Surround him with Your love, and guide him back to the supportive community of friends and family that care for him.
We rebuke the spirit of depression and isolation that this relationship is causing. We proclaim Your truth over his life, that You have called him to live in freedom and power (Galatians 5:1 WEB). We ask that You align his steps with Your will, and that You prepare his heart for a godly spouse, if it is Your will for his life (Proverbs 19:14 WEB).
We also pray for the woman he is involved with, that You touch her heart and bring her to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, turning her from her destructive ways.
In Jesus' name, we pray for this seemingly hopeless situation, knowing that with You, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26 WEB).
Amen.
Continue to stand firm in your faith and intercede for your friend. Encourage him with God's word and truth. Remind him that it is only in Jesus Christ that we find true freedom and life, and give him hope that there is a future for him outside of this toxic relationship. Also, encourage your friend to be seeking a lifelong spouse rather than a temporary romantic relationship. Remind him that God will provide a spouse suitable with him.
