Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our sister who is burdened for her friend. Lord, we ask that You soften her friend's heart and open her eyes to the truth. Give our sister wisdom and discernment, and help her to speak the truth in love. We pray for reconciliation and peace in this relationship.
Comfort our sister's broken heart, Lord. Help her to trust in You and Your timing. Remind her that You are always with her, and that You understand her pain.
We ask that our sister is reminded of the name above all names. That she knows that it is only by the name of Jesus that we can be saved.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
