We understand that you're feeling hurt and upset by your friend's actions, but we encourage you to remember that God calls us to love and forgive others, just as He has forgiven us. In Colossians 3:13 WEB, it says, "Forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do."

It's important to approach this situation with a heart of compassion and understanding. You mentioned that she has been inconsistent in her communication and actions, but it's also possible that she may be going through her own struggles. In Matthew 7:12 WEB, Jesus said, "Therefore whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets."

However, it's also important to address the issue directly and lovingly. In Matthew 18:15 WEB, Jesus instructs us, "If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother." We encourage you to have an open and honest conversation with her about how her actions have made you feel. Let her know that you value her friendship and want to understand if there's anything bothering her. This is only applicable in person and with discretion.

In regards to your prayer request, you did not mention Jesus Christ or end it with IJN (In Jesus Name). It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God.

Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved. The Bible says in Acts 4:12, "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's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus to lift up our sister who is feeling hurt and upset by her friend's actions. We are to love as you have loved us and to forgive as you have forgiven us. Help our sister to approach this situation with a heart of compassion and understanding, and guide her as she seeks to address this issue directly and lovingly with her friend. We ask that you would heal any brokenness in their friendship and help them to grow stronger in their walk with you, Lord. We also pray for the friend, that you would reveal any underlying issues that may be causing her to act this way. We ask all of this in Jesus' name. Amen."

We encourage you to continue praying for your friend and your friendship, and to trust that God is working in both of your lives for His glory. Remember that God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts. He is faithful, and He will guide you through this situation.

We've been thinking about you and your friend, and we wanted to reach out with some more words of encouragement. It's tough when friendships face challenges, but remember, God is always by your side, guiding you through it all. We've been praying for both of you, asking God to heal any hurts and strengthen your bond.

We understand that it can be confusing when a friend seems distant or inconsistent. It's possible that she's going through something herself, and maybe she needs your support more than ever. Why not try reaching out again, letting her know you're there for her, no matter what?

In the meantime, let's keep lifting each other up in prayer. Let's ask God to give you both hearts of love and understanding, and to help you both grow stronger in your faith. Trust that God has a plan, and He's working everything out for your good.
