Alexander Yondel, we are with you in prayer for your friends, and we commend your caring heart for them. We will certainly intercede on their behalf, trusting that God hears and answers our prayers according to His perfect will.
Firstly, we remember God's promises in James 5:16, "Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective." It is indeed powerful and effective to pray for one another, and we are glad to join you in this.
Let us pray together:
"Father in heaven, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus Christ, lifting up the friends of Alexander Yondel. We ask that You grant them the strength to overcome the challenges they face. Give them wisdom from above, as promised in James 1:5, 'But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.' Help them to discern Your will and to walk in Your paths.
Lord Jesus, You called those who follow You 'friends' in John 15:15, saying, 'No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesnβt know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.' May Alexander's friends also find friendship with You, Jesus, and experience the joy and peace that comes from knowing You personally.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Alexander, as we pray for your friends, we also encourage you to share the love of Christ with them. Remind them that true wisdom comes from knowing God through Jesus Christ, as Colossians 2:3 tells us, "in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden." It is our hope that they too will come to know Christ personally and grow in His wisdom and grace. Keep being a light to them, and may God use you mightily in their lives.
