We understand your desire for healing and reconciliation between you and your friend, Shabnin. We will pray for this situation, but we must also ensure that our prayers align with God's will and biblical principles. Let us pray and seek God's word together.
Firstly, let's remember the words of Jesus in John 13:34-35 (WEB), "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." This love often involves forgiveness and understanding, which you are demonstrating by your desire for healing.
However, we must also remember that God's will is paramount. As it is written in Matthew 6:10 (WEB), "Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done, as in heaven, so on earth." We should pray for your friend's heart to be softened, but also for God's will to be done in this situation, whatever that may be.
We notice that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. We want to remind you that it is only through Jesus 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.'" Therefore, we will pray in the name of Jesus, as it is the only name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12).
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ. We lift up Shabnin and their friend to you, Lord. We pray for healing and reconciliation between them, according to your will. Please soften their friend's heart, if it is your will, Lord. We pray that both of them will grow in your love and truly demonstrate that love to each other. We ask this all in Jesus' name. Amen."
May God grant you peace and discernment as you navigate this situation, Shabnin. Keep trusting in Jesus and seeking his will.
