We ask that you guide and orchestrate our paths, whether it be for a friendship or a deeper relationship. May your will be done in our connection, and may it be a source of encouragement and growth for both of us.

Lord, we bring our past hurts and wounds before you, asking for your healing and restoration. We pray that you would heal any brokenness or pain that may hinder our present and future relationships. Help us to let go of any bitterness or unforgiveness, and fill our hearts with your love and grace.
Father, we desire to grow closer to you and strengthen our personal relationships with you. We ask that you draw us nearer to your heart, deepening our faith and trust in you. May our love for you overflow into every aspect of our lives, including our relationships with others.
