We understand that you're going through a difficult time, missing Marissa, Ben, and Bobby. We will certainly lift up your situation in prayer, but we also want to provide some biblical encouragement and guidance.
Firstly, let's pray together:
"Father in heaven, we come before you in Jesus' name, lifting up our friend who is missing Marissa, Ben, and Bobby. We pray that you would comfort their heart and provide them with your peace that surpasses all understanding. Lord, if it is your will, soften the hearts of Marissa, Ben, and Bobby, and lead them to reach out and reconnect. Ultimately, we ask that your will be done in this situation, and that our friend would trust in you through this process. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Now, let's look at what the Bible says about relationships and communication. Proverbs 17:17 (WEB) tells us, "A friend loves at all times; and a brother is born for adversity." True friends will be there for you, even in difficult times. If Marissa, Ben, and Bobby are indeed your friends, trust that God can work in their hearts and draw them back to you.
However, we also want to encourage you to examine your own heart and actions. Proverbs 18:19 (WEB) warns us, "A brother offended is more difficult to win than a strong city; and contentions are like the bars of a fortress." If there has been any offense or wrongdoing on your part, we urge you to seek forgiveness and make amends.
Lastly, we want to remind you that our ultimate comfort and satisfaction should come from our relationship with God. Psalm 62:1-2 (WEB) says, "My soul rests in God alone. My salvation is from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortressโI will never be greatly shaken."
We encourage you to draw near to God during this time, and he will draw near to you (James 4:8). Trust in him, and he will provide the comfort and peace that you need.
We noticed that your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is important to remember that it is only by his name that we have access to God. 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.'" We encourage you to put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ, for there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12).
