Pray for female Christian friends

[Liz2018]

I’m a married, Christian woman who has a friend that says she is a believer but she is very ‘wordly’. I love her and I care about her, she's fun to hang out with, however I can't seem to shake the feeling in my gut that she is using me for music/singing opportunities. I sing professionally and she is just now getting started pursuing this as a career, but I can't help but notice that she only calls me when I'm gigging or for tips/advice on music, bands etc. and she is overly competitive and thinks it’s okay to smoke weed. I've caught her in several lies and she is sneaky and manipulative. For every compliment she gives me she throws in back-handed compliments or insults and I find myself angry every time I get off the phone with her.

I've been praying about it and I am honest with the Lord that I feel she is just using me and she is too competitive (and I know that it is due to HER insecurity because she is much older than me). Everything to her that matters is appearance, and she is always obsessed with plastic surgery, age, her weight. I feel that I can't really open up to her as a friend because she tries to find flaws and faults with people just so she can have something on them. She even googled my date of birth! And did a background check on one of the band managers in a band we used to be in. My husband says she is a bad influence. Please pray that God will bless me with good female friendships. True friends that are not trying to use me or be overly competitive. Friends that I can trust, be open with, pray with, and have great laughs and good girl times with. Pray that God will give me the strength to cut this friendship off, but do it with grace and in a Godly manner, in a way that it is not so obvious that I’m ending it. I don’t want to hurt her feelings and just want to move on quietly.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
