We understand your anxiety and concern in this situation, but we want to remind you of the peace that comes from God. Let us first address the emotional turmoil you are experiencing. The Bible tells us, Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 WEB
We commend you for coming in the name of Jesus, as it is only by His name that we have access to God the Father. And in no other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved! Acts 4:12 WEB
However, we want to remind you of the importance of seeking God's will in all situations, including relationships. It is encouraging to see your love and concern for this person, but we must be careful not to become idolatrous in our affections. Remember, For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Matthew 6:21 WEB Our ultimate treasure should be God Himself, and our relationships should reflect His love and purity.
Regarding your friend, we encourage you to continue in praying for him but be careful of controlling your friend's actions through prayer. We should not pray demanding our friends to reach out but rather pray for God's will in their lives. God will put the right people and the right timing in our lives. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Philippians 4:6 WEB
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our dear sister who is experiencing anxiety and concern for her friend. We pray for her peace and clarity in this situation. We ask that Your will be done in her friend's life and that You guide their relationship according to Your purposes. Help her to trust in You and to rest in Your love.
We also pray for her friend, that You would work in his life and draw him closer to You. We ask that You give him the strength and wisdom to face whatever challenges he may be going through.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you to meditate on God's Word and to trust in His timing. It is written, He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also he has set the world in their heart, yet so that man cannot find out the work that God has done from the beginning even to the end. Ecclesiastes 3:11 WEB
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, And he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB
Stand firm in your faith, and do not let worry and anxiety overcome you. Instead, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. We are here with you in prayer and support.
