Christian friends

[Zeirurway]

So I've made a prayer request some weeks ago for ### friends and I've been encouraged to post it again cause I still don't have really believing friends (but at least I have unbelieving friends instead of no friends now) and I think God wants to tell me that if I get Christian friends I would idolize them and idk maybe put all my trust and burdens on them because they would "try to be perfect" which would mean I could almost "fully" lean on them so a change of heart prayer next to a prayer for Christian friends would be appreciated too. Thank you so much and keep doing what you do if it's the Lord's will.

We understand your desire for Christian friends and the struggle you're facing. Let's first address the concern about idolizing friends. It's important to remember that our trust and dependence should be placed in God alone. Psalm 62:8 says, Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. Selah.

It's great that you recognize the potential to idolize friends. It's a reminder that we should not put our ultimate trust in humans, but in God alone. Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us, 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.

Now, let's pray for a change of heart and for Christian friends.

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up our fellow believer who is in need of Christian friends. We pray that you will bring godly companions into their life, friends who will encourage and strengthen their faith. We ask that these friends will be a positive influence, pointing them always towards you, Lord.

We also pray for a change of heart, that they may not fall into the trap of idolizing these friendships. Help them to keep their focus on you, to trust in you completely, and to lean on you for support and guidance. Help them to look to you first and foremost, knowing that you are the source of all comfort and strength.

We pray too that you will reveal yourself to their friends who do not yet believe. We pray that they will encounter the love of Christ and come to a saving faith in you.

We ask all of this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, for it is in his name that we have access to you, Father. For there is no other way to approach you, and no other name by which we can be saved.

Remember Jesus' words in John 14:6, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

As you wait for Christian friends, continue to be a light to those around you. Do not let the lack of believing friends discourage you from living out your faith. Remember that God can use you to bring others to him. Be encouraged by the words of Matthew 5:16, Let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

Lastly, we praise you, Lord, for the work you are doing in their life. We ask that your will be done and that they will grow in their faith and dependence on you. We thank you for your unfailing love and faithfulness.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We're right there with you, praying for believing friends to come into your life. It's a tough place to be, feeling like you're the only one shining a light in the darkness. But remember, God sees you, and He's working in your life. Let's keep our hearts open and trust that He knows what's best for you.

We've been praying for a change of heart, that you'd keep your focus on Jesus, not on potential friends. It's easy to put our hope in people, but only God can truly satisfy our deepest needs. Let's keep our eyes on Him, trusting that He'll bring the right people into your life at the right time.

We're also asking God to reveal Himself to your unbelieving friends. We pray that they'd see the love of Christ in you and be drawn to Him. And we're thanking God for His faithfulness, even in the waiting.

Keep shining your light, friend. God's got this. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Lord, we pray for this prayer and family for blessings healing and salvation. Heal and bless. May their lives be a praise and glory unto thee.
Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.
