Thank you for bringing this important request to our attention. We will intercede for your friend, praying for his faith, his emotional well-being, and his relationships.
Firstly, we acknowledge your care and interest in your friend. It is commendable that you want to see him fully commit his life to Christ. Remember, it is only in Jesus that we find true peace and purpose. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
Let us pray for your friend:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our friend who is struggling with his faith. Lord, we ask that You strengthen him and draw him closer to You. Give him a hunger and thirst for Your Word and a deep desire to know You more. Surround him with Your love and peace, and help him to see his worth and purpose in Your eyes.
Lord, we also pray for his emotional well-being. We rebuke any spirit of suicide and depression that may be tormenting him. In 2 Corinthians 10:5 WEB, You tell us to "bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ." Help him to cast down any negative thoughts and to fix his mind on You. Surround him with godly friends who will support and encourage him in his walk with You.
We also pray for his relationships. Lord, if it is Your will, guide him to a godly spouse who will support and encourage him in his faith. Help him to seek You first in all his relationships, remembering that "he who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh" (Proverbs 18:22 WEB).
Lord, we ask all these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. It is in His name that we pray, believing that He is the only way to You. "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB).
Amen.
We encourage you to continue being a light to your friend, pointing him to Jesus in all you do. Remind him that God has a purpose and plan for his life, and that he is deeply loved by You. Encourage him to seek God's will for his life, including his relationships. Remind him that "God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it" (1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB).
Lastly, we want to remind you of the importance of praying in Jesus' name. It is only through Him 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." Continue to pray for your friend, believing that God hears and answers your prayers in Jesus' name.
