We understand your desire for harmony and blessings within your new friendship circle, and we commend your desire to be a blessing to others. Let us pray together and seek God's will for your friendships and church attendance.
Firstly, we must address the issue of church attendance. While it is commendable that you wish to bless your friends and have unity with them, we must remember the words of 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?" While we should love and bless all people, we must also be cautious not to compromise our own beliefs or worship. As a Protestant, you believe in the sole authority of Scripture and justification by faith alone. These beliefs differ significantly from Catholic teachings. While you can certainly visit a Catholic church, we encourage you to maintain your biblical convictions and worship primarily within a church that aligns with your beliefs.
Now, let us pray for your friendship circle:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, asking for Your blessings upon Natasha's friendship circle. Lord, let there be no arrogance or manipulation among them, but let pure love, understanding, and harmony prevail, as You have commanded us to love one another, just as You have loved us (John 13:34-35 WEB).
Lord, we ask that You bless their walks together and their church attendance. Guide Natasha in her visits to the Catholic church, and give her discernment and wisdom. Help her to be a light and a blessing to her friends, and may they see the love and truth of Jesus Christ reflected in her life.
Father, we also lift up Natasha's friends who are suffering from pain. Lord, You are the Great Physician, and there is no illness or pain that is too great for You to heal. We ask that You touch their bodies and heal their backs and necks, freeing them from their dependence on medication. We claim Your promise in Jeremiah 30:17 (WEB), 'For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh; because they have called you an outcast, saying, "This is Zion, whom no man seeks after."'
Lord, we ask that You bless their communion together and all their activities, whether they are trips, vacations, or church events. May their fellowship be pleasing to You and bring glory to Your name.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen."
Lastly, we encourage you to continue meditating on God's Word and seeking His will for your friendships. May you always be guided by the wisdom and love found in the Scriptures.
