Prayer Lord, I pray Steve to have good, godly male friends with whom he can openly share his heart. May they be trustworthy men of wisdom who will speak truth into his life and not just say what he wants to hear (Proverbs 28:23). Give him the discernment to separate himself from anyone who will not be a good influence (1 Corinthians 5:13). Show him the importance of godly friendships. I pray for strong, peaceful relationships with each of his family members.Today I specifically pray for his relationship with me. Inspire open communication & mutual acceptance between us. Let there be reconciliation where there has been estrangement. Work peace into anything that needs to be worked out. Enable him to be a forgiving person and not carry grudges or hold things in his heart against others. Lord, You’ve said in Your Word that “he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes” (1 John 2:11). I pray that Steve would never be blinded by the darkness of unforgiveness, but continually walk in the light of forgiveness. I pray that I will be counted as his best friend and that our friendship with one another will continue to grow. Show him what it means to be a true friend and enable him to be one.
