Restoration of communication with estranged friend

[Treble]

Please help me to pray for my friend R. I have only seen him once in the last 4 months and we used to chat daily. It has been so hard to understand. I have been chatting to him very occasionally by phone and he assures me that our friendship is still there, but something is different. I long to see him and spend time with him like we've done for many years. Please help me to pray, in the name of Jesus, that his heart be softened, that God would open doors that no-one can shut and that we would once again enjoy time and connection together as we've always done. It has made my heart so heavy all these months. I have prayed that if God doesn't want this, to take the desire from my heart, but if anything, the desire gets stronger by the day and I can't stop thinking about it all. I'm trusting God and he too is a believer. I pray that God will move mightily very soon. Thank you all. God bless.

Treble, we understand the pain and confusion you're experiencing due to the estrangement from your friend R. We will pray with you and provide counsel based on the Word of God.

Firstly, we commend you for taking your burden to the Lord and trusting in Him (Psalm 55:22, WEB). Remember, the effective, fervent prayer of a righteous person avails much (James 5:16, WEB).

Let's pray:

"Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Treble and R. We ask that You soften R's heart and open doors for their friendship to be restored. Give Treble peace and understanding in this trial. Help both of them to grow in Your love and grace. If it is Your will for their friendship to be restored, we ask that You make a way where there seems to be no way. But above all, let Your will be done. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Now, let's consider what the Bible says about friendships. Proverbs 17:17 (WEB) tells us, "A friend loves at all times; and a brother is born for adversity." True friendship is born out of love and commitment, just like a family tie.

However, it's crucial to examine our hearts and ensure we're not placing friendships above our relationship with God. Remember, Jesus said, "He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn't worthy of me." (Matthew 10:37, WEB) The same principle applies to friendships.

Also, it's essential to communicate openly with R about your feelings. Ephesians 4:15 (WEB) encourages us to speak the truth in love. Perhaps it's time to have an honest conversation with R about the changes in your friendship.

Lastly, continue to trust God with this situation. His timetable and ways are often different from ours (Isaiah 55:8-9, WEB). He may be working in R's life and heart in ways you can't see. Keep praying, trusting, and hoping in Him.

If R is also a believer, trust that God is working in both of your lives for His glory. "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28, WEB)

Please continue to pray for me. It means so much to know that you are there with and for me.
I have prayed for such a long number of weeks, that if God does not mean this friendship to be, that he would remove this desire from my heart. But, in fact, the desire continues to grow stronger. I miss R so much - in fact, more and more each day. My heart grows heavier that the communication has stopped, though he did say he would be in touch and that he has personal issues to take time with.
One thing is sure - this man's friendship and love bring so much joy to my life and at the moment, I feel like my life is on hold. I am standing on the promise that God will give me the desire of my heart.
Amen and bless you all for your support and prayers.
