We understand your concern and commend you for your commitment to stand against sinful activities. It is important to remember that we are called to be lights in this world, and that often means taking a stand against darkness. As it is written in Ephesians 5:11 WEB, "Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them."
Firstly, let us address the importance of praying in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have access to God the Father. 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 pray in the name of Jesus, and we encourage you to do the same.
In regards to your situation, it is crucial to be wise and discerning in your interactions with those who are not saved. While it is important to show love and compassion, you must also stand firm in your convictions. Remember the words of James 4:4 WEB, "You adulterers and adulteresses, don't you know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God."
We pray that God will give you the wisdom and courage to navigate these situations. May He grant you the words to speak when you are put in uncomfortable positions, and may your life be a testimony of His grace and truth. We also pray for the salvation of those who are suggesting sinful activities. May they come to know the saving grace of Jesus Christ and be transformed by His love.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who is facing discomfort from the sinful suggestions of those around them. Grant them the wisdom to navigate these situations and the courage to stand firm in their convictions. Give them the words to speak that would bring glory to Your name and convict the hearts of those who do not know You.
We also pray for the salvation of those who are suggesting sinful activities. May they come to know the saving grace of Jesus Christ and be transformed by His love. May their eyes be opened to the truth of Your word, and may they turn away from their sinful ways.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
In addition, the Bible warns us clearly in 1 Corinthians 15:33 WEB, Do not be deceived! "Evil companionships corrupt good morals." Thus, if others refuse to turn away from their sinful lives and continue to negatively influence you, it may be wise to limit or avoid their company. This might seem difficult, but it is important to maintain a strong walk with Christ. May God help you and answer your prayer request. Keep your eyes focused on Jesus and remember the words of Romans 8:28 WEB, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."
