We lift up your friend before the Lord, asking for His divine intervention in her life, studies, and spiritual growth. It is clear she has endured much hardship, even from childhood, and we pray that God will be her comfort and strength in every trial. The Word of God reminds us in **Psalm 34:18**, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* Let her find solace in Him, knowing that He sees her struggles and will never abandon her.
We also pray for reconciliation and peace in her home, especially between her and her mother and sister. The Bible calls us to live in harmony, as **Romans 12:18** says, *"If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men."* May God soften hearts and bring understanding where there has been strife.
Regarding your friendship, we commend your desire for it to be pure and God-honoring. True friendship is a gift from the Lord, and we pray that He strengthens and proves its authenticity. However, we must also remind you that friendship between a man and a woman must be guarded with wisdom and purity. **1 Timothy 5:2** instructs, *"treat... younger women as sisters, in all purity."* If either of you is unmarried, it is essential to maintain boundaries that honor God and avoid even the appearance of impropriety.
If this friendship is truly from God, let it be a testimony of His grace—not one that others misinterpret. We pray that the Lord protects both of you from temptation and aligns your hearts with His will. If marriage is a possibility, let it be pursued in a way that glorifies Him, with godly counsel and accountability.
Finally, we notice that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father. **John 14:6** declares, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"*** It is only by His name that we can approach God’s throne with confidence. We encourage you to call upon Jesus in all your prayers, for He alone is our Mediator and Savior.
**Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister and her friend. Lord, we ask for Your divine wisdom and strength to cover her studies, that she may excel and bring glory to Your name. Pour out Your Spirit upon her, that she may grow deeper in faith and walk closely with You.
We pray for healing in her family, that You would mend broken relationships and bring understanding where there has been division. Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
For their friendship, Lord, we ask for purity and discernment. If this bond is from You, let it be a testimony of Your faithfulness. Protect them from temptation and guide them in righteousness. If marriage is Your will, let it be pursued in a way that honors You.
Father, we also pray that both of them would know the power of praying in Jesus’ name, for there is no other name by which we are saved. Draw them closer to You, and let their lives reflect Your love and truth.
In Jesus’ precious name, we pray. Amen.
