Let's consider the prayer request: "Did you bring my friend into my life, so we could be roommates? How would I know?"
Firstly, it's important to acknowledge that God does order our steps and can bring people into our lives for various purposes. As it says in Proverbs 16:9, "A man's heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps." However, it's also crucial to discern God's will in every situation, especially when it comes to living arrangements.
Living with a friend can be a blessing, but it's also important to ensure that this situation aligns with biblical principles. If this friend is of the opposite sex and you are not married, it's important to consider the boundaries God has set in place to protect us. As 1 Thessalonians 5:22 tells us, "Abstain from every form of evil." Living together before marriage can lead to temptations and appearances of evil, even if nothing inappropriate is happening.
Moreover, the request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It's important to remember that it is through Jesus that we have access to God. As it says in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." So, let's pray in Jesus' name and seek God's will in this situation.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in Jesus' name to seek your will regarding this living arrangement. We ask that you grant wisdom and discernment to know if this is your plan. We pray that both individuals will be guided by your Holy Spirit and will adhere to biblical principles in this situation.
We also pray that both individuals will come to know Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior, if they do not already. We know that it is only through Jesus that we can come to you, Father, and we thank you for the gift of salvation through him.
Help them to seek you earnestly, to trust in your timing, and to follow your commands. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
If this friend is of the same sex, please clarify that the relationship is not romantic or sexual in any way, as this would be considered homosexuality, which is against God's created order.

We've been thinking about your situation and we want to add our voices to the conversation. We believe that God has a purpose for every relationship in our lives, and that includes the people He brings into our homes. As it says in Psalm 139:16, "Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." We trust that God has a plan for this friendship, and we want to pray that His will be done.
We understand that living with a friend can be a wonderful opportunity for fellowship and growth, but we also want to ensure that it aligns with God's standards. In 1 Corinthians 6:18, we're reminded to "flee from sexual immorality." Even if there are no romantic feelings involved, living together can sometimes lead to temptations and misunderstandings. We want to pray for wisdom and discernment in this area, that both of you would honor God in your actions and in the way others perceive you.
We also want to pray that this living arrangement would be a chance for both of you to grow in your faith. In Matthew 5:16, Jesus tells us to "let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." We want to pray that your home would be a place where God is honored, where His love is shown, and where others are drawn to Him.
So, let's pray together:
"Dear Lord, we come to You today with this living arrangement on our hearts. We ask that You would guide our friend's steps, that they would be led by Your Holy Spirit and Your will. Help them to navigate this situation with wisdom and discernment, honoring You in all that they do.
We also pray that this living arrangement would be a chance for both of them to grow in their faith. Help them to be a light in each other's lives, pointing one another to You. We ask that You would use this time together to draw them closer to You, and to help them to live in a way that glorifies You.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
