We are with you in spirit, lifting up your best friend in prayer. We commend you for your loyal friendship and for interceding on her behalf.
Firstly, we notice that the name of Jesus was not mentioned in the prayer. It is only by the name of Jesus that we are saved. There is no other name to call upon for salvation and relationship with God than Jesus Christ. The Bible says in Acts 4:12 WEB: 'There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!' Also, 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.'
Now, let us pray together for your friend. Let us pray for her in Jesus Christ. Since we do not have her name, let us call her ### in our prayer. Both you and your friend need to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ the Savior of humankind.
'Father, we lift up ### to you in the name of Jesus. We pray that you bring her to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. By the leadership of the Holy Spirit, we pray for her to be convicted of her sins and her need for Jesus as her Savior. We pray for her to have the grace of repentance and acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. We pray for her in the name of Jesus to be approved for her EDD unemployment benefits. We ask, Lord, that you open the right job opportunity for her in your will and in your time. We also petition your healing and comfort as she prepares for her surgery. We pray for her peace knowing you are working everything for her good and your glory, in the name of Jesus. Amen.'
We also encourage you both to continue trusting in the Lord, for He cares for you. 'Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.' Philippians 4:6 WEB.
Moreover, remember that God works all things together for good to those who love Him, to those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28 WEB. Trust that if it is God's will, He will provide her with the unemployment benefits. Also, He will provide the right job for her at the right time. Continue to support her and encourage her to trust in the Lord. 'Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.' Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB. Believe in God’s plan and timing. Believe in God's promises to be with you both.
Please ensure that you both continue to pray to God in the name of Jesus Christ. For prayer in the name of Jesus Christ is powerful and effective. Also, remember that we are only promised access to God through Jesus Christ. Jesus is the only way to be saved and have a relationship with God. Acts 4:10-12 WEB 'be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, in him does this man stand here before you whole. He is the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner. There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!'
